Successful students from the qualifying rounds will move on to the White & Case International Rounds held in Washington, D.C. in the spring.

This competition is in its 56th year and is the largest moot court competition in the world. Participants from over 550 law schools and 80 countries compete against one another before the International Court of Justice. Only one team from every school is allowed to participate.

Best of luck to all the competitors.
