Luxemburg will be represented by University of Luxemburg, Finland - by University of Helsinki, the team of Sweden comes from the Orebro University, but the competition’s Belorussian participants will arrive from their exile university in Lithuania - European Humanities University.
The Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition is world’s largest moot court with participants from over 550 law schools in more than 80 countries. Students must first compete in qualifying competitions to earn the right to advance to the international rounds held every spring in Washington, D.C. Single-team countries do not have qualifying competitions so the Jessup Baltic Cup’s friendly rounds are a great oppurtunity to get prepared for the international rounds.
For the third time the Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition Baltic Cup will be hosted by the University of Latvia – Student Council of the Faculty of Law. In the course of time the number of participants and their distance from the Baltic Sea has grown but the moot still holds on to its initial name as the location where the rounds are held.
Everyone is welcome to see students dispute as representatives of fictional countries before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations.
