About this Unit
This unit replaced by 200663 International Moot Court or 200694 Australian Moot Court. The prestigious Jessup International Moot was founded in the United States in 1962 in honour of Professor PC Jessup, Professor of International Law and Diplomacy (University of Columbia), and Judge of the International Court of Justice (1960-1969). The Moot is probably the most prestigious international moot, organised under the auspices of the American Society of International Law. This unit involves a complex international law problem. Students learn the substantive content of public international law and comparative law at an advanced level. Participating in this extremely rigorous and demanding international mooting competition will develop students' analytical, research, writing and presentation skills.
