Willem C. Vis Moot Court - University of Geneva

Willem C. Vis Moot Court - University of Geneva page of the Geneva team to the 26th Willem C Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court (Vis Moot) The Willem C.

Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is considered one of the most prestigious moot court competitions in the world. Since 1994, it has been held annually in Vienna, Austria attracting more than 300 law schools from all around the world. The goal of the Vis Arbitral Moot is to foster the study of international commercial law and arbitration for resolution of international business dispute

s through its application to a concrete problem of a client and to train law leaders of tomorrow in methods of alternative dispute resolution. The journey to Vienna begins each year in October when ‘the Problem’ –based on an international sales transaction subjected to the CISG and involving procedural issues of arbitration– is released. In this first part of the competition, the team is in charge of preparing two written memoranda in support of the claimant's and subsequently the respondent's position. The second part of the competition consists in the hearing of oral arguments based upon the memorandums, which take place in Vienna and is settled by arbitral experts in the issues considered.

Last week, Léa Boisadam, Oyunbileg Seuret, Gregory Samuel Stauffer, Arthur Miles Urben, Marie Voseckova and Dilara Bayrak represented the University of Geneva in the 27th Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot.

After several months of hard work, our team received an honourable mention for our Memorandum for Claimant. I am truly delighted for this accomplishment that only 19 universities received out of the competing 398.

Many thanks go to our coaches Simon Bianchi and Elena Neidhart, to the Faculty of Law of the University of Geneva but also to all our sponsors. Even though our team could not attend any pre-moots nor the actual session in Vienna due to the current worldwide situation, we are nevertheless very happy to have been a part of the Moot experience.
