About the Vis Moot
The Vis Moot revolves around a complex international commercial dispute that is normally subject to the jurisdiction of an international arbitral tribunal. After the Vis Moot case is released in early October, teams have approximately eight weeks to write a memorandum for the claimant.
After submitting this first memorandum, teams have approximately six weeks to write a memorandum for the respondent. Teams meet in the host city around the Easter holidays, where they will have the opportunity to defend each of the parties’ positions over a series of four oral hearings.
The sixty-four teams with the highest score in those four hearings go through to the elimination rounds. For more information about the competition, please visit the Vis moot website.
