Moot Courts
Jean-Pictet Competition
This moot court competition focuses on important IHL issues and has the unique advantage of being very dynamic. Rather than the atmosphere of traditional moot courts, during the Jean-Pictet competition students will be faced with lively interactions with judges and other teams and even a field study. Since 2018, a university team has had the chance to participate in this competition. Our last participation took place in Obernai, France, in 16-23 March, during the anglophone version of the 31st edition of the Competition. In the previous year the participants had the chance to compete in Macedonia.

Nuremberg Moot Court
This moot court focuses on international criminal law issues and takes place in the remarkable courtroom 600 at the Palace of Justice. Students are provided with a fictitious case to be pleaded before the International Criminal Court. Students have therefore the opportunity to develop their written skills by preparing the memoranda and also their oratory skills by pleading before the fictitious court in Nuremberg. Since 2018, a university team has had the chance to participate. This year’s competition will take place in 24-27 July, and the case focuses on the crime against humanity of enforced disappearances.
