WTO Moot Court Team Tryouts

Sign up now for the Harvard World Trade Organization (WTO) moot court team, the only international competition focusing specifically on appellate-level WTO litigation. The North American regional round takes place in March in Washington D.C., and the international round will take place in Geneva after exams in May.

We will be selecting a total of 4 people to be on the team this year. 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls, and LLMs are all welcome to tryout. Each team member will have the opportunity to engage in oral argument in front of premier scholars and practitioners of international trade law. Last year’s team won first place in the North American rounds and competed in Geneva.

Tryouts are scheduled for Monday September 30 and Tuesday October 1. Please prepare a 2-5 minute argument based on the tryout problem https://docs.google.com/a/jd15.law.harvard.edu/file/d/0B3hduxVhhv5wSURFWGJGazlZUmc/edit?usp=sharing and https://docs.google.com/a/jd15.law.harvard.edu/file/d/0B3hduxVhhv5wZDc3b0hKQW0wanM/edit?usp=sharing) and bring a copy of your CV.
