This year, Â鶹´«Ã½ Law Division participates in the Annual Willem Vis Moot Competition in International Commercial Arbitration for the second time. This is a very prestigious competition in the area of international arbitration and sales law that takes place every year from September to April. Law Division has a special 2-credit course that specifically covers this competition. All students enrolled to the course are involved in research and writing of 2 legal memoranda for the competition. These legal memoranda require a tremendous amount of work and result in two 50 page long written memoranda: one for Claimant, another for Respondent. On the basis of these memos, students then prepare for oral hearings to be held in Vienna, Austria.
ÌýThis year, Â鶹´«Ã½ Vis Moot team went for the pre-moot organized by the Faculty of Law of Lomonosov Moscow State University from 16th to 29th of March, 2017. Pre-moots are held all over the world in order to help Vis Moot participants to prepare for the final hearings in Vienna in April.
Vis Moot team in Moscow:
ÌýUlanbek Apylov (junior student)
ÌýThe selection of students was made by the committee that included coaches (Assistant Professors Kanykei Kasybekoba & Dinara Asanbaeva), Law Division Associate Professor Steven Kessell, and Mr. Jomart Joldoshev (sponsor).
ÌýÂ鶹´«Ã½ Team’s trip to Moscow became possible thanks to the kind support of the Jomart & Partners Law Firm. Mr. Jomart Joldoshev and his firm covered all expenses of students; their representative, Ms. Makhabat Tilebalieva, accompanied students to Moscow and provided all necessary support.
ÌýÂ鶹´«Ã½ Law Division takes this opportunity to thank Jomart & Partners Law Firm for the generous sponsorship!
