Tulane University Law School Moot Court

Inter-American Sustainable Development Law Moot Court Competition

Description

Teams from all over the Americas converge to participate in a unique moot court opportunity: an overseas competition in which students from different countries argue in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, with simultaneous translation services provided. The event is also unique in its location – the inaugural 2011 event was the first international, multi-lingual moot court competition held in South America. Tulane University Law School's Payson Center is proud to contribute to the growth of opportunities for students to learn courtroom skills in the Americas, and to strengthen relationships between the United States and its neighbors.

The Tulane Law School Moot Court Board, along with the Payson Center, collaborate with the Universidad de los Andes (UniAndes) and FGV Direito Rio (FGV) to host this annual event. While the main theme is sustainable development, the competition necessarily draws from other areas of law, including human rights, energy, and environmental law.
