This spring, four teams will be representing the Faculty in different international moot competitions as part of the course JUS5042 - Moot Court. To prepare for the final international rounds, the teams will participate in dress rehearsals at the Faculty of Law. The rehearsals will be open for all students at our Faculty.
The first half will be the rehearsal of Vis Moot, and the second half will be the rehearsal of Jessup. 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.
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 taking JUS5042 - Moot Court in the future, this will give you a better perception of what it entails.
