Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is one of the world’s most prestigious moot court competitions in the field of international commercial arbitration. In the competition, students work as counsel on the basis of a comprehensive case file resembling a real dispute; they prepare written memoranda, conduct legal research, and present oral arguments before arbitral tribunals.
Vis Moot offers students more than a competition experience. It is an intensive educational process that develops legal writing in English, advocacy, analytical thinking, teamwork, and professional representation skills. Through this process, students engage with international legal practice at an early stage, compete with teams from different countries, and gain a global legal perspective by interacting with leading academics and practitioners in the field.
