While studying in the ELBML program, students may participate in ELBML-related and non-ELBML-related programs to enhance their personal, academic and career development. For instance, students are encouraged to participate in local and international law moot competitions, including the National Commercial Arbitration Center (NCAC)’s Commercial Arbitration Moot Competition, the International Mediation Singapore (IMSG) Competition, and the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot.
As the world’s largest moot court competition, Jessup has participants from more than 700 law schools in more than 100 countries and juris dictions. The Competition is a simulation of a factional case, usually a dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations.
The Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot and The Vis East moot provides law students, academics, and professionals with an exposure to, and experience in, international arbitration and trade law. The deference between the two is that the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is being held annually in Vienna, while the Vis East is in Hong Kong. Vis internal focuses on the general international trade scene, but given the continuous and rapid expansion of the economy in Asia, international commercial transactions and, inevitably, cross-border disputes in Asia Vis East aim to emulate the as atmosphere but with an Asian context.
The International Humanitarian Law Moot Court Competition is an inter-university law moot competition open to law schools in the Asia-Pacific Region. As one of the annual highlights of the Red Cross, the competition is being held every year with the persistent assistance and support from universities and legal professionals in the local and international communities. The students must prepare memorials for and argue on IHL problems based on a hypothetical case scenario. Students are expected to raise their awareness on IHL and deepen their knowledge of its rules and application, so as to breed themselves into future leaders with humanitarian vision and build a humanitarian society.
The Jean Pictet International Humanitarian Law Competition was first held in 1989 on the initiative of the French Institute of Humanitarian Law in Clermont-Ferrand. Given its name in honour of the author of the Principles of International Humanitarian Law and the Commentaries on the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, and with his explicit permission, the Jean Pictet Competition continues in the tradition of the major international competitions for law students (Jessup, Rousseau, Cassin, etc.). Jean-Pictet competition is a full simulation, unlike other moot court competitions, students have to take the law out of the book and apply it in the real world scenario.
The Nelson Mandela World Moot Court Competition is the largest gathering of students, academics and judges under the theme of human rights in the world. The Competition is open to students from all around the globe. A team of two students from each university, preferably one woman and one man is invited to participate in the competition.
Each year a new case is carefully developed, drawing on current global human rights issues, which range from human rights and artificial intelligence, over terrorism and mercenaries, to the right to not be discriminated against on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.
