The competition consists of a simulation of a fictional dispute between States before the International Court of Justice. Each team, composed of 2 to 5 students enrolled at the same university, is required to prepare written memorials and to orally argue the case on behalf of both parties before a panel of three judges, who will evaluate the participants’ advocacy skills and knowledge of international law.
The Italian rounds of the 2015 edition of the competition were hosted by the Second University of Naples and took place from February 26 to 28, 2015. The winning team, which will compete in the final rounds in New York, was from the University of Turin.
