International Moot Court Team

1 unit

[Students do not register online for this course. Students will be selected for one of Washington University's award-winning International Moot Court Teams by fall tryouts open to 2Ls, 3Ls, and international LL.M. students. Information about tryouts will be distributed to students at the beginning of the school year. Questions can be directed to Dorothy Campbell at djcampbell@wulaw.wustl.edu.] The team will work together under the guidance of faculty coaches to prepare an appellate brief or memorial and will participate in the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, or the Niagara International Law Moot Court Competition, or another international moot court competition designated by the faculty. The teams' weekly meetings, writing deadlines and practice schedule are mandatory. The course grade is credit/no credit; one credit hour posted in the fall semester, and the other credit hour posted in the spring semester. The teams also function as a board and run the competition tryouts for the following year. Pre/corequisites (subject to waiver or substitution, in rare cases, by special permission of instructor): International Law and International Courts & Tribunals. [Students should keep in mind the limitations regarding credit toward their degree for competition work (as a participant or board member): 1) a maximum of 4 total credits from competitions; 2) only one competition per semester. Students should also keep in mind that these credits count toward the 19 maximum allowed in non-law and non-classroom component classes.] 1 unit in fall semester + 1 unit in spring semester.
