ILSA is now looking for volunteer bailiffs for the upcoming Jessup Moot Court Competition – New York Regional. Jessup is the world’s largest moot court competition, with participants from roughly 700 law schools in 100 countries and jurisdictions. The Competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations.
The US Regional Rounds of the 2023 Jessup Competition are scheduled for 9-12 March at the offices of White & Case, 1221 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan. Volunteers will get the chance to observe the intensive and exciting moot court rounds.
