Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition

Jessup is the world's largest moot court competition, with participants from roughly 700 law schools in 100 countries and jurisdictions. Teams represent fictional countries as applicant and respondent before the International Court of Justice across three stages: written memorials, national rounds (aka Jessup Russia), and international rounds.

Jessup is a test of legal excellence and the best way to amp your skills of legal writing, advocacy, time management and team work. If you aren’t afraid of a challenge and hard work, and crave a chance to shine, do Jessup.

The Jessup 2025 Problem will concern (1) the rights and obligations of other members of the international community when two persons claim to be the legitimate president of a state; (2) invocation of immunity for government officials accused of grave violations of human rights; (3) the legal consequences of receding coastlines for the maritime zones of coastal states; and (4) the interpretation of the compromissory clause in a treaty creating a regional organization.

If you have questions, contact Evgeniya Neverova, the Administrator of Jessup Russia 2025 at jessuprussia@ilsa.org.
