Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition<\/li><\/ul><p>A total of 17 students, from the first and second year of LL.M. studies, took part in the competitions which simulate real court proceedings and give participants the chance to defend their fictitious clients in front of real judges. <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/formations\/fdef\/masters_en_droit\/moot_court_competitions\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Moot courts<\/a> form an important part of the LL.M. experience at the University of Luxembourg, giving students the opportunity to put theory into practice, to work in teams, manage their time and speak in public.<\/p><p>Like in previous years, the university\u2019s participation in moot court competitions is supported by the Luxembourg office of international law firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliffordchance.com\/people_and_places\/places\/europe\/luxembourg.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Clifford Chance<\/a>. Their generous support allows students to travel to friendly rounds and pleading sessions, which this year took place in Leuven, Madrid, Lisbon, Paris and Washington, D.C. In addition to the generous financial contribution, Clifford Chance lawyers act as judges during practice pleadings hosted for the teams, providing expertise and feedback on their performance.<\/p><p><strong>Long-term commitment<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cThe collaboration between our faculty and Clifford Chance has become a tradition and reflects a long-term commitment on both ends,\u201d Faculty Dean Prof. Katalin Ligeti said at the closing reception on Monday evening.<\/p><p>\u201cWe are grateful for the generous contribution from Clifford Chance, which allows us to give very privileged conditions to our moot court teams, \u201d she further said, adding that \u201cthe firm\u2019s engagement and spirit helps our students to prepare for the moot court experience\u201d.<\/p><p>Addressing students on the night, Faculty Dean Prof. Ligeti also outlined that \u201cparticipating in a moot court competition is a highly rewarding experience and not only teaches you about the finer aspects of law, but it also tests your limits and equips you with lifetime skills.\u201d<\/p><p>In his opening remarks Steve Jacoby, Managing Partner at Clifford Chance Luxembourg, said: \u00a0\u201cWe are very honoured and proud that we are able to support the moot court initiative for yet another year. Students have put a lot of work into this, they spent a long time researching, preparing their written and oral submissions, fighting against their opponents and also celebrating.\u201d He also thanked his team and all lawyers who helped to prepare the students for their competitions.<\/p><p>Before handing the students their certificates of participation, Associate Professor and moot court coordinator Aikaterini Pantazatou added her best wishes to both students and coaches and praised them for their hard work.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/clifford_chance_2019_closing_reception.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/clifford_chance_2019_closing_reception-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/clifford_chance_2019_closing_reception.jpg 500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/2; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><p><strong>Photos courtesy of Clifford Chance Luxembourg<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master of Laws (LL.M.) students at the University of Luxembourg, together with coaches and the faculty\u2019s partner and international law firm Clifford Chance, celebrated on 27 May 2019 the end of another successful moot court season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":483,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[],"news-topic":[],"organisation":[101],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
