International Law Moot Court
At the International Law Moot Court Competition, participants perform the role of applicant or respondent at a fictitious law case and compete with their excellence of legal argument following the set procedures similar to that of the International Court of Justice. It is possible for participants to argue on the same basis regardless of their nationalities, because law cases of the International Law Moot Court are treated by not domestic law, but international law, which is considered to be appropriate all over the world.
