ILSA Guide to International Law Moot Court Competition
Cecilie Elisabeth Schjatvet and Zakir Hafez
This
is a hands-on book for students participating in international law
moot court competitions. As such, it functions as a road map for
students in their research and writing and in their preparation
for oral argument. The authors have written a volume that is useful
for students, coaches and faculty advisors with a wide variety of
moot-court experience. For participants who have no previous experience
with international law moot courts, the book serves as a primer,
introducing the topics of moot court generally, international law,
and oral and legal advocacy. For participants with prior course
work in international law, it provides a guide for applying this
knowledge to the moot-court context. For participants with competition
experience, it provides a first glimpse into how moot court differs
when the legal basis is international law. And finally, for those
with experience with international law moot courts, this text is
intended to serve as a ready handbook for "refreshers"
on certain topics and for quick reference.
