Team Scotland competes in warm up round of Telders competition ahead of main event at ICJ

A team of law students moot travelled to Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary last month to participate in a warm up for an international moot competition.

Final year Dundee University law students Asa Jordan, Evana Ferguson, Daniel Breerton and David Durie are representing Scotland at the Telders International Law Moot Court Competition between 23 - 25 May at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague.

The mooting teams are presented with a case involving a dispute between two states. Each team has to represent both the applicant and respondent state in proceedings that simulate proceedings before the ICJ.

This entails writing memorials and presenting oral arguments before a panel of judges.

The dispute concerns state responsibility, obligations under the CERD Convention, and legal immunity.
