| The European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) organizes the Moot Court Competition on International Trade Law. This simulated hearing, based on the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement system, involves not only law students from the entire world, but also several respected trade law experts and WTO legal officers. This activity complements the formal legal education of Graduate Institute’s students, since it allows them to put theory into practice and to further develop the academic interest in this field. |
| |
| Since 2007, the Graduate Institute has sent teams to participate in this competition and each year our level of preparation and training has increased. In case you are interested in participating in our team, attending our training sessions and activities, or simply in obtaining more information on this competition, please contact our Graduate Institute’s coaches and academic supervisor at the CTEI. |

|
| “The most rewarding part of the moot court was the extent of our interaction with case law. In a few a minutes, we could conjure up a satisfying buffet featuring Japan-Alcohol, US-Shrimp, Korea-Beef and EC-Bananas, just to name a few!” |
