Stas has made in onto Penn State's Moot Court. Actually, he made it on The Annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, aka the most prestigious moot court in which Penn State participates!!
The Annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot
The Vis Competition was founded fourteen years ago with the goal “to foster the study of international commercial law and arbitration for resolution of international business disputes through its application to a concrete problem of a client and to train law leaders of tomorrow in methods of alternative dispute resolution.” The students on the Vis team are responsible for writing memorandums for claimant and respondent and then presenting those arguments in oral hearings against opposing teams to be settled by international arbitrators. The competition requires determining questions of contracts from a transaction relating to the sale or purchase of goods under the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and other uniform international commercial law and then presenting arguments in an arbitral proceeding under specified arbitration rules.
The competition is held annually at the Juridicum located in Vienna, Austria and has over 150 participating law schools from across the world. The problem is issued in October and the oral arguments are held in March of the following year.
There are only eight people on the team and Stas is one of only two guys! And the other dude is at the other campus. Way to represent ladies!!!
