IDA’s 21st Moot Programme Preparation for the Vis Moot is - TopicsExpress

IDA’s 21st Moot Programme Preparation for the Vis Moot is handled within a graded option entitled International Litigation. The Moot case study is used in courses notably on International Arbitration and the CISG. The selection process for the option will be done through an interview, once students have been accepted in the Master 2. All students selected to be in the option become members of the Moot team. Participation will be limited. Students will be graded on their work on the memoranda and participation and team work in the oral part as pleaders or arbitrators in practice sessions. Like the 20th Moot team, financing permitting, some students will attend pre-moots in Edinburgh, Montpellier and other locations in addition to participating in practice sessions with University teams outside France by Video Conference. Students will need to help raise funds for these trips. Usually four students attend the Moot in Vienna, with 2, 3 or all 4 of them pleading.
