The Complete (but Unofficial) Guide to the Willem C Vis Commercial Arbitration Moot

by Jörg Risse (Editor)

Eleven teams of student participants attended the first Willem C Vis International Arbitration Moot in 1993/1994. Twenty years later 290 teams from 67 countries plus a huge number of coaches and arbitrators gathered in what is now considered one of the largest international arbitration events in the world. The cases dealt with are based on an international sales transaction governed by CISG, including procedural issues of arbitration. This book is meant for participants of the Vis Moot. It provides the reader with step-by-step practical advice in order to maximise his or her experience. It explains registration and offers tips on finding and organising the team, analysing the case, writing memoranda, presenting the case in the oral pleadings and organising the trips to Vienna or Hong Kong. Any student contemplating taking part in the so-called 'Moot Experience' will find the information needed to make the Vis Moot a real lifetime experience.
