Umfang	Blockveranstaltung
Inhalt	The Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is a competition in the course of which close to 400 university teams from all over the world compete against each other representing the parties of a fictive case in front of simulated arbitration panels. The case revolves around typical issues arising out of the UN-Convention on International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the field of International Commercial Arbitration. On the basis of the case the participants draft a Memorandum for Claimant and subsequently for Respondent. The week before Easter the oral pleadings take place in Vienna. The course aims at teaching the participants in different theoretical and practical skills of a lawyer. On one side it inseminates profound knowledge of the CISG, International commercial arbitration and comparative law. On the other side, the participants acquire skills such as drafting memoranda, performing oral pleadings, broadening and strengthening the command of the spoken and written English language. Last but not least, the participants experience the intensive teamwork in a group of ambitious students.
