CONFERENCE
The Jessup Competition is the world's largest and most renowned moot court competition with a history of over a half century. The first competition was held at Harvard University (USA) by international public law enthusiasts. Now, the court competition gathers participants from over 500 law schools in more than 80 countries. After the national and regional selections teams will earn the rights to participate in the international rounds in Washington D.C., USA.
Last year the International Law Students Association delegated organization of the Baltic Cup to the University of Latvia - Student Council of the Faculty of Law. The previous year championship received positive feedback so the Council decided to hold the competition in Riga also this year - even though their own students are engaged in other moot courts in the field of international public law.
The Philip C. Jessup Moot Court Competition Baltic Cup 2012 will be held at the University of Latvia, Faculty of Law on 24th and 25th February. The final round will take place in the Aula Parva (Small Hall) of the University of Latvia on 25th February at 14.30.
