The Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is an international moot court competition. Since 1994, it has been held annually in Vienna, Austria attracting more than 300 law schools from around the world. The goal of the Vis Moot is to encourage the study of international commercial law and international commercial arbitration, and to give instruction to students in a medium where theoretical knowledge is used for the purpose of developing arguments applied to a concrete commercial law problem. This moot will also stimulate and advance students’ legal writing, legal research and public speaking skills.
