International Criminal Court (ICC) Moot Competition | Pace Law School

Congratulations to our 2016 teams! We will be posting results, awards (including runners up), and photos soon. Stay tuned!

On behalf of the Pace ICC Moot, I want to thank Pace Law Librarian (and former student, mooter and assistant coach) Lucie Olejnikova for all of her efforts on behalf of the moot (specifically) and the international law programs at Pace (in general). Lucie will be leaving Pace to take up a position at Duke Law School. Our loss is their very big gain!
