The World Cup of Law:
Law students and volunteer coaches gear up for international competition
International Law Moot Competition
Recently, the Charleston School of Law was the first team from South Carolina to compete in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. This premier event in the world of international and commercial arbitration brings students, practitioners and arbitrators from around the world together. It tasks them to analyze case files and applicable concepts and principles of law for use in two full-length legal memoranda and advocate for their clients during oral submissions.
Students Jonathan Gamble, Grace Glennan, Sara Posey, Talida Balaj, and Amy Saukas served on the team. A special thanks to the SC Bar International Law Committee Chair Brent Clinkscale and members Christopher Campbell and Judge Kristi Harrington for all their hard work with the team and in preparation for the event.
More than 300 teams worldwide compete, usually in Hong Kong or Vienna, for a chance to claim the annual title. Charleston School of Law plans to participate in the 2021-2022 season, ideally returning to its in-person format in Vienna next April.
