The Telders International Law Moot Court Competition offers the opportunity to compete against student teams from over 40 European universities. Its aim is to test the students’ knowledge of Public International law on the basis of a practical legal case.

The Moot Court consists of two (or three) phases: the preparation of the written pleadings (Oct-Feb), oral pleadings within the national round (depending on the number of Swiss universities taking part in the annual competition round) and an oral phase at the finals in the Hague (March/May)

Participants will be awarded credits for the written pleadings and additional credits for participating in the oral round.

Both the oral and the written phase will be held in English.

The Telders International Law Moot Court competition offers students the opportunity to improve their argumentation skills by drafting the applicant's and respondent's written memorials and eventually defending these in front of ICJ judges.

 In the oral pleadings, students train their presentation skills to represent clients before a court.

5 ECTS points for drafting the applicant's and respondent's written memorials can be recognized as a (pro-)seminary paper or as special credits
5 ECTS points for the preparation of the oral pleadings and the attendance of at least one oral phase of the competition can be recognized as special credits within the MLaw program

After an introductory session, the students do research autonomously to draft their written pleading.
