The Department of International Law successfully conducted two moot court competitions for third and fourth-year students, strictly modeled after the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition to simulate high-level proceedings before the International Court of Justice. The first event, held on 30 April, addressed the Case Concerning the Celestium Conflict and Marlowe Basin (Orizia v. Xylos), followed by a second competition on 7 May regarding the Case Concerning the Atoll of Lymia and Maritime Boundaries (Aquilonia v. Belerion). Each participating team consisted of four members, including two oralists and one of-counsel, who were required to submit formal written memorials prior to the hearings. The oral proceedings were structured into 40-minute blocks per team, incorporating rigorous rounds of rebuttals and surrebuttals, with faculty members from the department presiding as judges to evaluate the students’ legal reasoning and advocacy skills.
