Thanks to CMS’s commitment, our participants can dedicate themselves to advocacy, research, and teamwork — gaining skills and experiences that will shape their professional futures and strengthen Ukraine’s presence within the global legal community.

We are sincerely thankful to CMS for standing with Ukrainian students and for investing in the development of the next generation of legal professionals. Your continued support truly matters. 🌍✨

We are proud to announce that ICU Group is once again standing with Ukrainian Jessup teams as they head to the International Rounds! ⚖️🇺🇦
