Inhoud

The European Law Moot Court Competition is a traditional moot - i.e., simulated court - competition, in which teams of students prepare written pleadings with respect to a problem of European law and present their arguments in oral proceedings before the “European Court of Justice”. The Case is prepared each year under the auspices of the European Law Moot Court Society. The Competition takes place annually and is bilingual, French and English being the official languages. Further details can be found at http://www.elmc.org/.

The Moot Court Competition presents a challenge to every participating student. Not only is participation a rewarding and exciting exercise, it also offers an excellent team work experience as the students attempt to solve, in a joint effort, a complicated case in a field of European Community Law. Moot Court participation also provides a positive reference on a participant’s curriculum vitae. In exchange, successful participation requires a firm commitment of a significant amount of students’ time.

Bijzonderheden

Students should apply for participation by sending their CV and a motivation letter before September 15 to Dr K.J. Cseres ( k.j.cseres@uva.nl). A team will be selected on the basis of, inter alia, study results and bilingual capacities. The Department of International Law reserves the right not to participate in the competition. Number of credits depends on the stage reached by the team in the competition (5 EC written stage, 10 EC oral stage).
