| Admission requirements | The motivation of participants must be to successfully draft and complete written pleadings to file for participation in the international European Law Moot Court competition. To reach this goal, some legal background and basic knowledge of European Law is of advantage, prior attendance of a European Law class is desireable. The course is nevertheless also open to students without legal background, it will however require substantial extra effort on their part. Important notice: The Moot Court seminars deal with the specific issues of the published Moot Court case only. They are no alternate / substitute at all to class 10308-01 Völker- und Europarecht by Prof. S. Breitenmoser! |
