International Vis Moot Teams 2024 Practice Round Update
The Charleston School of Law International Vis Moot Team and the University of South Carolina International Vis Moot Team went head to head on Friday, March15, 2024. Arbitrators included former Chief Justice Jean Toal, retired Federal District Judge Margaret Seymour and State Court Trial Judge Jocelyn Newman. The students' arguments were excellent and the questions from the Arbitral Tribunal were exceptional. It was awesome to have an all women panel during International Women’s Month!
The Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is a competition for law students to foster the study and practice of international commercial sales law and arbitration. Students from all countries are eligible (students from 88 countries participated in the 30th Vis Moot). The Moot involves a dispute arising out of a contract of sale between two countries that are party to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The contract provides that any dispute that might arise is to be settled by arbitration in Danubia, a country that has enacted the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration and is a party to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. The arbitral rules to be applied rotate yearly among the arbitration rules of co-sponsoring institutions of the Moot.
Chris Campbell, in-house counsel for Baker Hughes and Brent O.E. Clinkscale with Clinkscale Global ADR are the head coaches for both teams. Mr. Campbell lives in Lisbon, Portugal part-time and participated virtually.
The teams are now headed to the International Vis Moot Competition in Vienna, Austria.
