Philip C Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition is known as Jessup Moot or The Jessup. This is the oldest and the largest international moot competition in the world. The competition is an enactment of a fictional dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice. Competing teams prepare oral and written pleadings arguing both the applicant and respondent positions of the case.
The world rounds of the moot competition are usually held in Washington DC. But this year it will be held online from March 25 to April 10 due to the Covid situation.
