The Willem C. Vis Moot Court Competition is an annual international commercial arbitration competition hosted every spring in Vienna, Austria. In recent years, more than 350 law schools from over 50 countries have taken part.
Each year, the competition problem is released in October. The team spends the fall researching the problem and writing briefs on behalf of the Claimant and Respondent. After the second brief is submitted, in January, the team begins preparing oral arguments.
The Vis Moot competition itself takes place the week before Easter and involves both general and advanced rounds. Each team will argue four times before the top 64 teams advance to a series of single-elimination rounds.
Awards are given for the best briefs and best oral advocates.
