Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition
The Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition is the largest moot court competition in the world. Over 500 law schools in more than 80 countries participate in this competition every year. The competition is a court simulation of a fictional dispute between countries that are appearing before the International Court of Justice. Students from U.S. schools must first compete in the Super Regional competitions in order to advance to the world championship White & Case International Rounds held every spring in Washington, D.C. At the regional level, students compete against approximately twenty-two schools. This year's Jessup problem, "The Case Concerning the Zetian Provinces," focused on international law issues arising from the War on Terrorism.
