Are you interested in international law? Have you thought about joining a moot court team during your time at Mitchell Hamline School of Law? You should check out the Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.
The Jessup Moot Court Competition is the largest in the world made up of law schools from all over the world. This year’s problem will address the interpretation of a peace treaty, deadly attacks in allegedly occupied territory, unilateral economic sanctions, and the legal consequences of failing to dispose of hazardous waste properly.
If this sounds interesting, please use the following link to sign up for a Zoom tryout time here. [Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17slS40EKvC8SuiOTWTkvpDIrclL-1mxDgIXrGv7qyaM/edit?usp=sharing ] To tryout, we ask that you prepare a 10-minute argument from your 1L final arguments or your Advocacy argument! Whichever you choose to do, please email your written component to Jessup coaches, Ben Koll and Nate Siems.
Ben Koll: benwkoll@gmail.com | Nate Siems: nate.w.siems@gmail.com.
If you do not see a time that works for you, feel free to reach out to Ben and Nate, and we can work something out!
Moot court participation is an excellent opportunity to develop your written and oral advocacy skills, study legal issues in depth, and establish professional relationships with fellow team members, competitors, and coaches.
