The Willem C. Vis Moot Court Team

The Vis Moot team represents Penn State Law in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Competition. Each year, Penn State Law sends a team to Vienna, Austria to compete in the largest competition of its kind in the world. 

The Vis offers participants an unparalleled opportunity to hone their written and oral advocacy skills and to represent their school on a global stage. Team members also engage in a number of “pre-moot” practices against other domestic and international laws schools.

Students interested in joining the Penn State Law Vis Moot team should contact coach Ryan McWeeney or faculty adviser Jud Mathews.

The Vis Moot team took home first place at the 2019 competition! Check it out here.
