BiH Universities Participate in the Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court

-

CLDP sponsored the travel of four BiH law school teams and their instructors (to include University of Sarajevo Faculty of Law, the University of Istocno Sarajevo Law faculty, the University of Zenica Faculty of Law, and the University of Mostar Faculty of Law) to participate in the 24th Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Vienna, Austria. The annual Vis Moot is the pre-eminent international moot on commercial law and arbitration. CLDP started its inaugural Vis Moot program in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2014 and held written memoranda and oral advocacy trainings for Vis Moot teams to prepare the teams to compete in this rigorous and prestigious competition.

The four teams took part in a Vis Pre-Moot and then participated in the week-long Vis Moot competition. This program aims to improve the knowledge of BiH law students and university faculty of international commercial law and arbitration and to help develop institutionalized Vis Moot and commercial law arbitration programs in universities throughout BiH.
