Students from the Law study area represented Tallinn University at an international law moot court competition in the United States and won one of the four evenly matched rounds.
The Phillip C. Jessup international law moot court competition took place from 27 March to 2 April in Washington DC. Students from the School of Governance, Law and Society represented Estonia at that competition as they had earned the right to represent Estonia in the national rounds that took place in February.
The team members were Marleen Arus, Joseph Latimer, Nuutti Tanner and Yuliya Avdyusheva, who are third year law BA students.
Four rounds took place at the international competition. The opponents of our students were teams from Brazil, India, Georgia and the UN University of Peace. The teams were very strong and remarkably prepared.
"Our team managed to win one of the four evenly matched rounds. The team members gained an invaluable experience and they recommend participating in mooting competitions to all fellow students," said lecturer of International and European law Tiina Pajuste.
