programmes, the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) offers students a unique opportunity to participate in simulated proceedings before European and international courts through moot court competitions. Moot courts are an exceptional way to apply legal knowledge acquired in the classroom while developing the practical skills required of future legal professionals. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"py-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-section section\"><div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n<p>Based on a fictitious case, participants draft written submissions, develop legal arguments and engage in oral pleadings before expert panels composed of academics and practitioners. This immersive learning experience places students in conditions closely reflecting professional legal practice, where precision, strategy, responsiveness and persuasive advocacy are essential. It is a demanding but highly rewarding experience that prepares students for a wide range of legal careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Moot Court Programme is a central component of the Faculty\u2019s practice-oriented approach to legal education. It is designed not only to deepen substantive legal knowledge, but also to transform that knowledge into applied advocacy skills. Students strengthen their analytical rigour, legal reasoning and written and oral communication abilities, while also developing essential professional competences such as teamwork, adaptability, time management, leadership and the ability to perform under pressure. Moot court participation also enables students to gain confidence, intellectual autonomy and a structured approach to complex legal problem-solving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students enrolled in the Moot Court Programme may be awarded 5 ECTS credits per semester and, depending on their&nbsp;Master in Law&nbsp;track, may&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;from a course waiver.&nbsp;Participants receive a Certificate of Appreciation recognising their commitment and contribution. The programme&nbsp;also&nbsp;offers valuable opportunities for international exchange,&nbsp;networking&nbsp;and&nbsp;collaboration&nbsp;with peers from universities&nbsp;and institutions&nbsp;around the&nbsp;world, further enriching the academic and professional experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme&nbsp;is led by&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:susana.munoz@uni.lu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr Susana Mu\u00f1oz<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;combines&nbsp;academic&nbsp;supervision&nbsp;with close&nbsp;coaching&nbsp;by doctoral and post-doctoral researchers&nbsp;throughout the preparation process.&nbsp;Members of the Moot Court Community&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;including&nbsp;academics,&nbsp;practitioners,&nbsp;alumni&nbsp;and former participants from universities, law firms,&nbsp;institutions&nbsp;and companies in Luxembourg and abroad \u2014 regularly contribute to the training of teams by sharing their&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;and experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the period 2015\u20132025, the programme also&nbsp;benefited&nbsp;from the support of&nbsp;Clifford Chance, which contributed to its development within the&nbsp;Faculty\u2019s&nbsp;experiential learning initiatives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, Uni.lu teams&nbsp;participate&nbsp;in leading European and international moot court competitions and consistently achieve strong results, reflecting both the dedication of the students and the quality of the programme\u2019s supervision and coaching.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/28111605\/20260520_Moot_Award_TAN_1671_Group-1-scaled.jpeg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/28111605\/20260520_Moot_Award_TAN_1671_Group-1-300x173.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/28111605\/20260520_Moot_Award_TAN_1671_Group-1-1024x591.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/28111605\/20260520_Moot_Award_TAN_1671_Group-1-768x443.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/28111605\/20260520_Moot_Award_TAN_1671_Group-1-1536x886.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/28111605\/20260520_Moot_Award_TAN_1671_Group-1-2048x1182.jpeg 2048w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;

En tant que conseiller juridique, mon r\u00f4le consistait surtout en un r\u00f4le d\u2019appui pour les plaideurs, les mettre en confiance et les rassurer avant tout. Je ne peux qu\u2019\u00eatre fier du travail que nous avons accompli et de l\u2019aventure que nous avons v\u00e9cu. La participation au concours est id\u00e9ale pour travailler une coh\u00e9sion d\u2019\u00e9quipe et d\u00e9velopper une m\u00e9thode de travail minutieuse, \u00e0 la fois orale et \u00e9crite, construire des amiti\u00e9s et forger des souvenirs uniques.\u201d<br>\u2013 Maxime Rosaz (2023\u20132024)<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cCe fut un honneur pour moi de repr\u00e9senter l\u2019Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg lors d\u2019un concours aussi prestigieux que celui-ci.

De simple aventure, cette exp\u00e9rience est devenue inoubliable quand nous avons eu l\u2019honneur de plaider devant la Grande chambre de la Cour europ\u00e9enne des droits de l\u2019Homme.

For more than 25 years, the European Law Moot Court Society has organised this prestigious competition. The competition takes place annually in three stages: written submissions on a hypothetical case on current questions of European Union law as well as two stages of oral proceedings. Through all its stages, the competition is bilingual in French and English.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Students set out arguments on behalf of both the applicant and the defendant in the written submissions. The best 48 teams are invited to one of four regional finals. The best four teams compete in the European final, hosted at the CJEU in Luxembourg. In addition, one member from each team participates in an individual competition as the representative of the European Commission or as the Advocate General of the CJEU. Special awards are also given for best speaker and best written submission.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Past performance highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2011\u20132012: Best Commission Agent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2013\u20132014: Best Written Submission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2015\u20132016: Runner-up in the Commission Agent category at the Final in Luxembourg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2019\u20132020: Top 4 teams in the world <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2020\u20132021: Top 4 Commission Agent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2022\u20132023:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wwwen.uni.lu\/fdef\/news\/fdef_european_law_moot_court_team_competes_at_regional_final_in_spain\">The Uni.lu European Moot Court team competes at the Regional Final in Spain<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2023\u20132024:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uni.lu%2Ffdef-en%2Fnews%2Ffdef-students-awarded-at-the-moot-court-award-ceremony%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cekaterina.putkova%40uni.lu%7C884149f9ed114cad59ed08dcd3ffdf0c%7C445a9c950f9d49539db1bc4a45dd1220%7C0%7C0%7C638618343110994962%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=R5C9q6UW3QsHWIhNftNC%2BxKfIZPuLua9AKjV5vcAik8%3D&amp;reserved=0\">FDEF students awarded at the Moot Court Award Ceremony<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2024\u20132025: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fdef-en\/news\/advocate-compete-achieve-highlights-from-the-2025-moot-court-award-ceremony\/\">Advocate, Compete, Achieve: Highlights from the 2025 Moot Court Award Ceremony<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">2025\u20132026: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fdef-en\/news\/the-moot-court-path-2025-2026-a-year-of-advocacy-and-achievement\/\">The Moot Court Path 2025\u20132026: A Year of Advocacy and Achievement<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Testimonials: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe ELMC is much more than a competition in EU law. It is an experience that challenges you intellectually and personally. Over several months, we worked intensively on a fictitious case, refining our arguments and learning to think like lawyers. Throughout the journey, we were guided and supported by a dedicated coach, professors, lawyers, and experts, which made the experience even more enriching. <\/p>\n\n<p>On a personal level, the ELMC taught me how to work effectively in a team, support others and learn from them. It strengthened my legal reasoning, improved my ability to think on my feet, and developed my oral advocacy skills. Most importantly, it helped me gain confidence in my own voice and reasoning, which are invaluable skills for any future lawyer. <\/p>\n\n<p>One of the most rewarding aspects was pleading before panels of academics, practitioners, and legal experts from across Europe. Reaching the Regional Finals was already an unforgettable experience and a great moment of pride for our team. From there, I had the privilege to continue the journey and plead in the Grand Final before the Court of Justice of the European Union. Standing in the Grand Chamber, wearing the gown, and presenting my arguments before real judges was an experience that I will never forget. Beyond the competition, the ELMC also offers a unique international environment, where you meet students from all over Europe and beyond, all sharing the same enthusiasm for EU law.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>I would strongly encourage any law student interested in EU law to take part in the ELMC. It pushes you out of your comfort zone in the best possible way.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p><em>\u2013 Tatiana Ferreira Flores (2025\u20132026) <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cParticipating in the ELMC was one of the most enriching and interesting experiences I had as a law student \u2013 it challenged and pushed me into not only understanding the law, but also to actively build and argue my own legal reasoning. Working on the same case for multiple months, faced with legal questions that are as of now still without concrete answers, helped our team to develop skills not often tested during traditional exams. In fact, part of the fun of this mooting experience is how our team navigated together throughout this journey, as we shared our different insights, supported and learned from each other along the way. The lack of one real \u2018correct\u2019 answer is part of why it is so incredibly rewarding when you finally find your very own angle to tackle the issues presented, and to defend your stance before a panel of judges.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>At the end of this rigorous but enjoyable journey, I had met&nbsp;many different kinds of&nbsp;people, thanks to the opportunities the moot court provided me, and I learned a lot from these experiences as it helped me&nbsp;consolidate&nbsp;my future ambitions.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>\u2212 Lucie Chen (2025\u20132026) <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe Moot Court experience, and in particular the European Law Moot Court, is unique and unrepeatable in all regards. A student&#8217;s academic life is certainly full of challenges and commitment as well as group work experiences, but this has nothing to do with the legacy and added value that one acquires through the Moot Court process.<br>First of all, the skills one acquires are complementary to those acquired through the academic studies since legal writing and especially oral advocacy are not an integral part of most Master&#8217;s programmes. Moreover, the real added value of the moot court is teamwork. Indeed, working in a team is perhaps one of the most delicate and challengeable dynamics not only during the academic studies, but also of any professional experience, as it requires from each individual a sincere curiosity, open-mindedness and the ability to recognize both one&#8217;s own limits and the added value that all team members can bring. All these prerequisites are indispensable in the Moot Court experience.<\/p>\n\n<p>On this basis, the profit that each student can gain from this experience is of immense value both in terms of skills acquired and in terms of personal growth. Indeed, unlike what a student experiences on a daily basis in his or her university life, in the Moot Court it is not the result but the process that counts. It is during the process that we confront each other, that we dialogue, that we motivate each other, that we complete and divide our work according to each other&#8217;s skills and that we improve both individually and as a team. That is why, when you finally get in front of the \u201cjudges\u201d and the teams from other universities, you do so with the awareness that perfection is unattainable, but also with a great deal of pride in all your commitment. It is therefore not surprising that the bond that is created with the other teammates becomes something truly special as between people who have shared unique moments together.<br>For all this, and for what is difficult to put into words, I recommend this experience to everyone who is offered this opportunity. The Moot Court and the teammates who will share with you this journey will teach you a lot in terms of skills and will leave you with special and indelible memories, I assure you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Giulia Areddu (2022\u20132023)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Quel challenge et quelle aventure !<br>Un challenge car le ELMC c\u2019est travailler sur des sujets complexes de droit que les \u00e9tudiants n\u2019ont pas n\u00e9cessairement vu en cours au pr\u00e9alable. Il a fallu fournir un travail intense afin de comprendre et traiter le cas, selon la perspective des demandeurs ou des d\u00e9fendeurs. Nous avons fait \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de recherches, lu et relu un nombre incroyable de jurisprudences.<br>Un challenge aussi car nous avons appris \u00e0 plaider, non pas en tant qu\u2019\u00e9tudiants mais en tant avocat(es) ou en tant qu\u2019agent(e) de la Commission. Nous sommes clairement sorties de notre zone de confort en d\u00e9fendant notre appr\u00e9ciation du cas.<br>Un challenge aussi car le ELMC c\u2019est tr\u00e8s peu de temps pour pr\u00e9parer les m\u00e9moires \u00e9crits, la pression est donc importante, et il faut savoir garder le rythme des cours pendant ce temps.<\/p>\n\n<p>Mais quelle aventure !

Very soon I realised the benefits that the ELMC had brought me. My advice to students who want to participate is to only sign up if you really want to do it. It is a lot of work, you do not get to choose the topics of the moot court, nor your fellow students. You have to start from the premise that you will have to put in a lot of effort, work hard and, above all, make compromises!

During the second phase, the \u201chearings\u201d, teams of three speakers (one for each procedural party) compete against each other. The winner is chosen based on the substance of the arguments and the quality of the performance.

My answer was obviously \u2018yes\u2019 \u2014 yes to a challenge, yes to a new working team, yes to sleepless nights, yes to endless meetings, and yes to The Hague. It was a commitment, from the very first informal meeting with our brilliant coach Bruno in September until\u2026 well, I don\u2019t think there is a real end. The work may be over, but I will remain a team member of the 糖心Vlog ICC MCC 2025 \u2014 be sure of that.<\/p>\n\n<p>There are two phases: the first, the more technical one, is the Memorial phase; the second, the oral phase. During the first six months, we read the case, built legal arguments through extensive research, produced copies of copies of copies of our memorials, and sent hundreds of versions to Bruno, who somehow managed to correct, modify, and re-write three separate memorials (Prosecution, Common Legal Representative of the Victims, and Defence) simultaneously. Then came the deadline for the written phase. On Sunday morning we met, made the very last amendments, checked, double-checked and triple-checked them to ensure they complied with the Rules and avoided penalty points. It was a nightmare \u2014 and yet, I thoroughly enjoyed it.<\/p>\n\n<p>As soon as the written phase ended, the oral phase began. We needed to select the strongest arguments and be ready to answer questions on any subject \u2014 a completely different challenge. Thanks to the Seminars on Oral Advocacy, my role became clearer: I needed to embrece the role of the defence, until I became one: \u201cfake it until you make it\u201d. I dreamt of the defendant, tried to humanise Mr Vragar as much as possible, so that I could defend him and fight for him. It was a two-against-one fight.<\/p>\n\n<p>Then came the competition: ten intense days during which I often lost track of time. Round after round, I took notes, pleaded, co-counselled, briefed while walking back to the hotel, worked again on questions, answers, pleadings \u2014 always thinking about what could have been done better. As defence counsel, I had to adapt my pleading to each round, which was highly stressful, as I depended entirely on the Prosecution and the Victims\u2019 counsel. I had to anticipate their arguments and be ready to counter them. My advantage was that I always had the final word.<\/p>\n\n<p>It was hard, but it was incredibly worth it. Someone very wise told me that once you have tasted a moot court competition, you will want to go back and do it again. That person was right.<\/p>\n\n<p>To Melissa, Vadim and Bruno, who always found the right words before pleading: I love you, and I will never forget these nine months. BUT \u2014 let\u2019s not forget the damage you caused by defaming my client\u2019s name and his company\u2019s reputation, prosecuting him without proper evidence and relying on hearsay.\u201d                                                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n\n<p><em>  &#8211; Chlo\u00e9 Antunes (2024\u20132025)<\/em>`<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cParticipating in the moot court competition has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life.<\/p>\n\n<p>These past months have been intense: countless hours of preparation, weekends devoted to research, and many sacrifices to balance classes, exams, and my internship. Arriving in The Hague changed everything. It made me realise just how resilient, talented, organised, and disciplined I truly am. Standing up to plead, I discovered how much I enjoy it \u2014 I even found myself having fun. The depth of knowledge our team demonstrated compared with others made me feel incredibly proud.<\/p>\n\n<p>The ultimate reward came when we were ranked among the top 27 teams worldwide. I could not hold back the tears. Winning the award for Best Prosecution Memorial was a personal recognition of all the hard work and sacrifices. I could not be prouder of myself.<\/p>\n\n<p>It was not always easy \u2014 I was pushed well beyond my comfort zone \u2014 but looking back, I know it made me better.

My experience with the ICC MCC 2024 was no exception. It was an opportunity not only to grow intellectually but also on a more personal level. From being required to immerse myself in research and expanding my theoretical knowledge of a field of law that I would normally not have had any other good reason to study in detail, to developing my written and oral argumentation skills, I was challenged in every step of a long 9-month process. I would argue that especially my preparation for the oral rounds pushed me to discover my potential as an oralist, proof that oral advocacy is not a talent reserved for inherently extroverted people. Concurrently, learning to work collaboratively and to persevere through stressful times allowed me to build resilience and character. On master level, it is anyone\u2019s last chance to make an attempt at mooting.<\/p>\n\n<p>You will not only remember it as the highlight of your studies, but it may also be a unique occasion for you to decide if research could potentially evolve into a professional aspiration of yours. I strongly encourage you not to miss out on it.\u201d                                                  <\/p>\n\n<p><em> &#8211; Eirini Botza (2023\u20132024)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThought-provoking, instructive, and empowering. These are three adjectives that best describe the ICC moot court. Taking part in this competition did not only allow me to acquire deep knowledge in international criminal law, a very sensitive and increasingly important subject. Furthermore, it was the perfect occasion to acquire valuable skills, like conceiving succinct arguments and pleading. On the other hand, participating, like in my case for a second time, in a moot court constitutes a valuable asset for a future legal career. A veritable lifetime experience so unique that it makes one forget its inherent challenges.\u201d                                                                                 &#8211; <\/p>\n\n<p><em>Grazia Bruzzese (2021-2022)<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"ICCMCC\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15094452\/ICCMCC_2024-2025_Awards.jpeg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15094452\/ICCMCC_2024-2025_Awards-272x300.jpeg 272w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15094452\/ICCMCC_2024-2025_Awards-930x1024.jpeg 930w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15094452\/ICCMCC_2024-2025_Awards-768x846.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15094452\/ICCMCC_2024-2025_Awards.jpeg 1157w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 44.00% 17.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 44.00% 17.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 1\/1; object-fit: contain; width: 25%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n<p>2024\u20132025 ICC MCC Team Awards<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-6c947ec7-1533-4ba3-b25d-bcf1c4812d70\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-6c947ec7-1533-4ba3-b25d-bcf1c4812d70\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-6c947ec7-1533-4ba3-b25d-bcf1c4812d70\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                International and European Tax Moot Court Competition (Tax MC)            <\/span>\n\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-6c947ec7-1533-4ba3-b25d-bcf1c4812d70\"\n        class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\"\n        aria-labelledby=\"accordion-labelledby-6c947ec7-1533-4ba3-b25d-bcf1c4812d70\"\n        data-bs-parent=\"[data-reference=&quot;df86b87a-a0a4-4d39-86a0-4ca17fa44084&quot;]\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"accordion__body \">\n            \n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.kuleuven.be\/taxmootcourt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International and European Tax Moot Court<\/a>&nbsp;is a simulated hearing before a tax tribunal.

The process of writing a memorandum gave us the opportunity to apply the knowledge that we already had, while also teaching us how to research specific tax doctrine in a practical way. The experience of practicing and pleading in a formal setting was a fun way to improve on everyday skills like speaking with good diction, convincingness and confidence. However, to me the teamwork was the most important aspect of participating in this moot court. Working with my team-members and coach taught me to view things form different angels, to apply patience and listening skills and how to combine everyone\u2019s strengths to come to the best result. I am very thankful that we were given the opportunity to participate.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Heleen Klep<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The training and preparatory meetings for this moot court were hard work but, in the end, we saw that it was worth it. The feeling to finally plead our case before the jury was incredible. In a moot court, students have the opportunity to learn a lot \u2013 things that you will never learn in the same way in class. We were trained to work in a team, we learned a lot on written and oral pleading skills and of course on the substantive topics of European and international tax law.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Julia Hamm (2014\u20132015)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"2023\u20132024 Tax MC team\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15094714\/Tax_2023-2024.jpeg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15094714\/Tax_2023-2024-223x300.jpeg 223w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15094714\/Tax_2023-2024.jpeg 529w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 46.00% 20.00%;

The stimulation of working through complex questions of international law, writing your submissions, adapting arguments for oral pleadings, meeting passionate peers and professionals, and of course having the immense privilege to present and discuss the case with sitting ICJ judges, was such a joy. I strongly owe this positive experience to our wonderful team, to whom I am deeply, grateful to now call friends.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p><em>\u2013 Lucia Maori (2024\u20132025) <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;I will never forget the moment I stood up and began pleading in front of some of the most important judges in the world. When we started working on the case over a year ago, I could never have imagined we would come this far in the competition. But with dedication, teamwork, and perseverance, everything feels within reach! I am immensely proud of the team and myself for what we have achieved and for bringing these results back to the 糖心Vlog, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who supported us throughout this journey.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p><em>\u2013 Noan Renault (2024\u20132025) <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe most important thing that I have learnt from participating in the Manfred Lachs is that it is important not only to understand the areas of law you are dealing with, but also to allow yourself the freedom to think outside the box, the freedom to flow into unchartered territory and the freedom to be bold, fearless and courageous. Participating in a moot court has to be one of my best experiences at the 糖心Vlog. It is not only an opportunity to network but the opportunity to understand how to be the best lawyer you are striving to be.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Dilan Kaplan (2017\u20132018)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;When I decided to participate in the Manfred Lachs Moot court, I thought that it could be a good learning experience. However, I had no idea how gainful and enjoyable this competition would really be. The moot court was a challenging experience that enhanced my research, writing and presentation skills as well as my knowledge in public international law and international space law. It boosted my confidence to speak in public and offered me a great opportunity to meet and interact with highly recognized lawyers and professors as well as network with law students from all over Europe sharing the same interest in space law.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Am\u00e9lie Werbrouck (2015\u20132016)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The 2016 Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition focused on topics that are becoming increasingly relevant in this area. It enabled me to enhance my legal writing, research, analysis and advocacy skills. Not only that, but I was also able to develop good communication and team-working skills. Not only did we dedicate much of our time and energy to writing our memorials and practicing our speeches, but also our coaches were always there to help us whenever we needed them. Throughout the whole competition I often asked myself what I had let myself in for. Nevertheless, I do not regret my decision to take part in this competition, since it was a really enriching experience for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>&#8211; C\u00e9dric Roilgen (2015\u20132016)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"2024\u20132025 MLMC Team \"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15100124\/MLMC_2024-2025.jpeg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15100124\/MLMC_2024-2025-300x249.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15100124\/MLMC_2024-2025-768x638.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15100124\/MLMC_2024-2025.jpeg 1004w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 49.00% 79.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 49.00% 79.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p>2024\u20132025 MLMC Team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/2016_2017_lachs_team_at_the_european_final.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/2016_2017_lachs_team_at_the_european_final-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/2016_2017_lachs_team_at_the_european_final.jpg 760w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p>2016\u20132017 MLMC Team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n                    id=\"monroe-e-price-media-law-moot-court-competition-price-mc\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-2332016e-ffe1-421b-a5e2-4761a8d9256f\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-2332016e-ffe1-421b-a5e2-4761a8d9256f\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-2332016e-ffe1-421b-a5e2-4761a8d9256f\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                Monroe E Price Media Law Moot Court Competition (Price MC)            <\/span>\n\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-2332016e-ffe1-421b-a5e2-4761a8d9256f\"\n        class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\"\n        aria-labelledby=\"accordion-labelledby-2332016e-ffe1-421b-a5e2-4761a8d9256f\"\n        data-bs-parent=\"[data-reference=&quot;df86b87a-a0a4-4d39-86a0-4ca17fa44084&quot;]\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"accordion__body \">\n            \n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.ox.ac.uk\/monroe-e-price-media-law-moot-court-competition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Price Media Law Moot Court Competition<\/a> is part of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.ox.ac.uk\/centres-institutes\/bonavero-institute-human-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bonavero Institute of Human Rights<\/a>&nbsp;in the Faculty of Law at the University of Oxford, Hence, the International Round is held every year at Oxford University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Price Media Law Moot Court Competition aims to foster and cultivate interest in freedom of expression issues and the role of media and information technologies in societies around the world.

Having been running for over 50 years, it is now the biggest moot court competition in the world, with participants from over 500 law schools in more than 80 countries. Moreover, it enables a community of legal professionals and academics to build bonds and engage in an invaluable cultural and scientific exchange.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The Jessup competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute before the ICJ. It consists of two phases (one written and one oral) and is held in English.

This is a real opportunity to gain practical legal experience and knowledge of international law; to learn to work as a team and under pressure; and to develop written and advocacy skills which will be useful for any career in law. It also offers the chance to meet and network with talented students from all over the world. Jessup is, finally, a journey of self-development, during which I pushed myself beyond my limits and increased my self-confidence, adaptability and resilience. I think I have learned much more from participating in Jessup than from any course I have taken at university. We are lucky at Uni.lu to have so many opportunities to take part in such competitions, and I would recommend anyone studying law to take part in a moot court.\u201d                                                                                                                                                                                                    <\/p>\n\n<p><em>  \u2014 Noan Renault (2023\u20132024)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cMooting in Uni.lu is one of the most unforgettable experiences I have ever had in my legal studies. Department of Law and our esteemed partner Clifford Chance Luxembourg have provided abundant support from both academic and economic perspectives, making the preparation of the moot courts more robust and sufficient. Also, the highly international environment in Luxembourg has also made the cooperation of team members from diverse social and cultural backgrounds possible. Mooting in an \u201cinternational\u201d team has taught me many important things out of the mooting itself. I would like to express my most sincere appreciation to all of them who have kindly supported my moot court journey here in Luxembourg. Beyond all of these, it is fun to present your legal analysis of a certain case in front of senior fellows interested in the same field after a long and \u201cpainful\u201d preparation. This is yet a worthwhile point to do a moot court \u2013 you can communicate with people with the same interests, and engage yourself in a community of like-minded people by participating in a moot court. Most importantly, mooting will let you find your true interest in the career path as a law student. To research, to advocate, to work as a team under pressure, what you have \u201csuffered\u201d are all accurate reflections of your future legal careers. Hope you can enjoy this unique and fascinating journey in Uni.lu. May it please the court, may it please yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Zhongyu (Richard) Wang (2022\u20132023)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The Philip C. Jessup Moot Court Competition constitutes a unique opportunity to improve a great range of legal skills which are required for a future career in the legal sector. Participants acquire extensive knowledge on efficient research techniques, on drafting highly sophisticated memorials and on obtaining vast legal terminology to express themselves in a refined manner. Furthermore, the six-month preparation to Washington perfectly illustrates the necessity and importance of teamwork, dedication and perfectionism in order to achieve the best possible result. The Jessup Moot, which constitutes the largest moot court competition in the world, is in every aspect a challenge: in order to prevail against 700 law schools only your best performance is good enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>-Christoph Rueegg (2014\u20132015)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;In the beginning, I hesitated as to whether I should do the Jessup or not.  Everyone told me it would involve loads of work and time. However, with hindsight, I have to say that it was one of the best experiences during my time as a student. Not only was my knowledge of international law and the ability to plead refined, amazing friendships with the coaches and teammates were built at the same time. It was truly an unforgettable experience, which I have to recommend to every law student, not only for their current studies, but also for their future endeavours.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>-Moritz Klein (2013\u20132014)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"2023\u20132024 Jessup Team \"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15102010\/Jessup_2023-2024-scaled.jpeg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15102010\/Jessup_2023-2024-300x141.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15102010\/Jessup_2023-2024-1024x480.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15102010\/Jessup_2023-2024-768x360.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15102010\/Jessup_2023-2024-1536x720.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/15102010\/Jessup_2023-2024-2048x959.jpeg 2048w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 31.00% 41.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 31.00% 41.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p>2023\u20132024 Jessup Team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"2015\u20132016 Jessup Team\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/2015_2016_jessup_team_in_washington_d_c.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/2015_2016_jessup_team_in_washington_d_c-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/2015_2016_jessup_team_in_washington_d_c.jpg 760w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p>2015\u20132016 Jessup Team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-ad66d4ca-2528-42b2-a117-6ae3607d3f1f\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-ad66d4ca-2528-42b2-a117-6ae3607d3f1f\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-ad66d4ca-2528-42b2-a117-6ae3607d3f1f\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court Competition (FIAMC)            <\/span>\n\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-ad66d4ca-2528-42b2-a117-6ae3607d3f1f\"\n        class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\"\n        aria-labelledby=\"accordion-labelledby-ad66d4ca-2528-42b2-a117-6ae3607d3f1f\"\n        data-bs-parent=\"[data-reference=&quot;df86b87a-a0a4-4d39-86a0-4ca17fa44084&quot;]\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"accordion__body \">\n            \n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.investmentmoot.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FIAMC<\/a>&nbsp;is a simulated hearing before an arbitration tribunal set up according to the rules of the International Convention for the Settlement of Investment (ICSID).
