During the academic year of 2022/2023, four teams will be representing the Faculty in different international moot competitions. As part of the oral preparations, we are organizing dress rehearsals for these teams. The rehearsals will be open for all students at our Faculty. The first rehearsal will take place on the 17th of March at Gamle Festsal.
The first half of the event will be the rehearsal of Jessup, and the second half will be the rehearsal of Vis Moot. You can choose between attending just one of the sessions, or both. There will be a one-hour break between both sessions, during which there will be food and refreshments available.
Check out the program for the dress rehearsal.
Why should you attend?
Attending the dress rehearsals will allow you to learn more about a project offered by the Faculty to develop practical skills within the field of law. If you are thinking about participating in one of these competitions in the future, this will give you a better perception of what it entails.
About Jessup and Vis Moot
Jessup is the world’s biggest moot competition with approximately 700 teams participating from all around the world. The competition revolves around issues of public international law and this year’s oral rounds will take place in Washington DC in the beginning of April. The team will also travel to Geneva in March for their pre-moots.
Vis Moot is the world’s second largest moot competition with approximately 300 teams participating each year. This is the first time the University of Oslo will send a team to this competition. The competition deals with the scope of international commercial law, and the form of dispute resolution is arbitration.
