Description

The Book
Eleven teams of student participants attended the first Willem C. Vis International Arbitration Moot in 1993/1994. Now, almost 400 teams from across the world gather to participate in one of the largest international arbitration events in the world. The cases dealt with are based on an international sales transaction governed by the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods, including procedural issues of arbitration.
The book is written for participants of the Vis Moot. It provides the reader with step-by-step practical advice to maximize their Vis Moot experience. It explains registration and offers valuable tips on finding and organising the team, analysing the case, writing memoranda, presenting the case in the oral pleadings, and organising the trips to Vienna or Hong Kong.
Any student or coach considering taking part in the ?Moot Experience' will find the information essential to make the Vis Moot a unique lifetime experience and to prepare them for their career in law.
