Master en droit européen - LL.M. (académique)

PARTICIPATION IN AN EXTERNAL MOOT COURT COMPETITION

The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxemburg warmly invites and encourages the students of all Master programs to participate in an international Moot Court competition. The participation in such Moot Court competition forms an obligatory part of the Master II program in General European Law. In addition, the participation in one of the offered competitions is also opened to the students of all   other Master programs, but a prior permission of the responsible study director is required.

Attending an international Moot Court competition is a great opportunity to develop not only deepened knowledge in the respective field of law, but also the skills needed in an occupational career such as personal and rhetorical skills and, in particular, team work abilities. The participation in a Moot Court competition is thus highly appreciated in professional environments and strongly recommended for the legal career.

The students willing to take part in a Moot Court shall nevertheless consider that the participation in such an external competition is highly time-consuming and labour-intensive. However, the commitment will pay off by a unique experience to be gained during the competition.

The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxemburg offers the participation in the following Moot Courts:

1.         European Law Moot Court Competition [ELMC] ,

2.         Concours Européen des Droits de l’Homme René Cassin [Concours Cassin] ,

3.         Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition [Jessup] ,

4.         ELSA Moot Court Competition [EMC²] ,

5.         Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot [VIS] ,

6.         Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court [FIAMC] .

For further information such as admission, selection and assessment [ECTS] within the Master program, please, see the  “Official rules for participation in an external Moot Court Competition”.

For all students who consider participating in an external Moot Court competition, the University of Luxembourg launched an additional course in the Master‑I‑Program: the Moot Court Preparation Course . This course is addressed to the students who want to develop and train the required skills before the real Moot Court actually begins.
