ELSA Moot Court Competition on WTO Law 2017/2018 Final Report

Foreword

Dear Reader,

I hereby present to you the Final Report concluding the 16th edition of the ELSA Moot Court Competition on WTO Law (EMC2).

The ELSA Moot Court Competition is the biggest, the most laborious and the most rewarding project that I have ever organized. It has been an incredible journey. I travelled across the whole world attending the Regional Rounds in Italy, Poland, the United States, Thailand and Kenya. The people are the ones who create this Competition and are collectively its biggest asset. You can see the same people being involved in this project year after year, giving back to the Competition their whole heart.

This year, EMC2 gathered together more than 380 students from 32 different countries, representing 99 universities. Without any doubt, the best part of the EMC2 is to see the evolution of the participants, from the first pleading of the Regional Rounds to the Grand Final pleading during the final stage in Geneva.

The Competition will always have a winner; however, it is not about winning, but being brave enough to compete. Therefore, I would like to once again congratulate all the teams for being so brave and dedicated – you are all winners. Every year we see teams without any trade law background reach the final stage of the Competition because of their passionate motivation and determination. Along the way, not only do they gain a legal knowledge, but also so many necessary skills which they can use – no matter which path they choose in their lives. For all their hard work, this project gives back to the participants a valuable experience and a host of skills.

After 16 years, the ELSA Moot Court Competition Final Oral Round (FOR) has become a week of celebration within the trade law community. During the Grand Final, there was a full house in the famous room W of the WTO. I could not imagine a more rewarding moment for the Head of the Organization of this Competition than seeing a full house of leading trade law experts, who all came to see students competing against each other at a level similar to what might be seen in an actual WTO dispute. And they came because they know that these students are the future.

It was an honour to dedicate one year of my work and life to the organization of the 16th edition of the ELSA Moot Court Competition.

Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey.

1. Background, structure and timeline

1.1 About ELSA

1.2 The ELSA Moot Court Competition on WTO law

1.2.1 General

The ELSA Moot Court Competition on WTO Law (EMC2) is a simulated hearing of the World Trade Organization dispute settlement system. Participants from around the world send in written submissions, for the complainant and respondent, in a fictitious case. After sending their submissions, all the teams are given the opportunity to present oral arguments in front of panels which consist of WTO and trade law experts. Winning teams from five Regional Rounds (two European Rounds; an Asia-Pacific Round; an All-American Round; and an African Round) compete against each other in the Final Oral Round (FOR) held in Geneva, Switzerland at the WTO headquarters. Over its course, the ELSA Moot Court Competition developed from being a European competition for our Members to a global challenge that gathers students from all around the world every year, with 5 Regional Rounds organized across the globe. During the past 16 years, the ELSA Moot Court Competition has been contributing to the legal education of law students and young lawyers as well as helping ELSA to achieve its vision and purpose.

1.2.2 Structure

The ELSA Moot Court consists of two phases. Firstly, the teams have to deliver Written Submissions on the issued Case for both the Complainant and the Respondent. Secondly, the teams have to participate in one of the allocated Regional Rounds: ELSA Member States, Asia-Pacific, All America, Africa or the International Written Round. The best teams of each Regional Round (the number depending on the amount of participating teams) qualify for the FOR. In the FOR, these teams then have to plead representing both sides in turn during the Preliminary Rounds. The


best eight teams are admitted from the Preliminary Rounds to participate in the Quarter-Finals. The best four teams qualify for the Semi-Finals. Finally, the best two teams plead against each other in the Grand Final.

1.2.3 The 16th edition

The Moot Court problem of the 16th edition was written by Dr. James Nedumpara, Professor & Head, Centre for Trade and Investment Law, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade.

On 15 September 2017, the Case was published and the 16th edition was officially launched. One team per university could register two to four team members until November 2017.

These teams were allowed to send in a maximum of five clarification questions to the Case Author until 15 November 2017. In total, 113 teams had registered by the registration deadline. Before January 2017, teams had to then send in the Written Submissions.

From the end of February, throughout March, to the beginning of April, the Regional Rounds took place worldwide: 99 teams from 32 countries took part in this stage of the Competition. The first round was the European Round in Naples, Italy, organised by ELSA Napoli, followed by the second European Round, organised by ELSA Wroclaw in Poland. The All-American Round was then organised by American University Washington College of Law in Washington D.C., the United States. The Asia-Pacific Regional Round was organised by the Asian Law Students’ Association, namely their chapter in Thailand, having held the round in Bangkok. Fially, the African Round was organised by Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya.

All the teams participating in the Regional Rounds showed their devotion, motivation and hard work, which resulted in their outstanding performances.

1.2.4 The Scoring System

The Oral Pleadings were assessed as follows:

(1) Regional Rounds In the Preliminary Rounds, three Panellists sat in each pleading. The Semi-Finals had three to five Panellists and the Grand Final had five to seven panellists. The Panel had to issue overall points for each team as well as for each orator individually.

(2) Final Oral Round In the Preliminary Rounds, three Panellists sat in each pleading. The Quarter-Finals had four Panellists, the Semi-Finals had six Panellists and the Grand Final had nine Panellists. The Panel had to issue overall points for each team as well as for each orator individually.

For the Preliminary Rounds, the scores were calculated as follows: 70% Oral Pleading scores and 30 % Written Submission scores. The Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and Grand Final only consisted of oral pleading scores. Each panellist could award up to a maximum of 50 points.

6.9 Main African Regional Round Sponsor

Thanks to the UNECA contribution, all of the teams participating in the African Regional Round had their flights and accommodation covered. Without that support, it would have been impossible for the African students to take part in the Competition, given the financial barriers.


7. The Final Oral Round

7.1 Introduction

The final stage of the global challenge was concluded at the FOR of the 16th ELSA Moot Court Competition that took place between 6 and 10 June 2018.

The FOR commenced with an Opening Ceremony at the WTO where Zhao Hong, an Appellate Body Member, officially opened the FOR. Afterwards, all the participants and guests were invited for a reception hosted by ELSA. All pleadings during the week took place at the Graduate Institute and the World Trade Organization venues. In the FOR, the best 25 teams from all around the world were competing with each other. On Friday we had the Sponsors Reception. In the evening we had the opportunity to join the Appellate Body Annual Report Launch where as a conclusion we announced the Semi-Finalists.

The Grand Final, chaired by the Appellate Body Member Ujal Singh Bhatia, took place on Saturday at the WTO headquarters. The winners were announced during the Award Ceremony that was led by Professor Gabrielle Marceau. Finally, an Award Dinner was hosted afterwards to conclude the whole week.

7.11 Concluding Remarks

Once again, the EMC2 brought teams to Geneva from across the globe for a week filled with events, learning and networking. All of them came with the same motivation and passion for trade law. All of them competing equally.

I would like to thank the Graduate Institute and all our Sponsors for the big support they have provided. Thank you for believing in us and for helping us to organize the 16th edition of the Competition. Without your support, the Competition could not be developing as consistently as it is right now.

We are also very honoured and proud of our strong partnership with the WTO, which has been the biggest partner and supporter of the Competition from the beginning. We would like to especially thank Gabrielle Marceau, Iryna Polovets, Miguel Villamizar, Marisa Goldstein, Svetlana Chobanova and all the others working behind the scenes for their incredible amount of help, infinite commitment, assistance and guidance throughout the whole 16th edition of the Competition.

I would like to deeply thank this years’ case author Dr. James Nedumpara for providing the teams with a challenging case and for cooperating with ELSA during the year. Moreover, I would like to thank all individuals who have been involved as Members of the Academic Board of the Competition and who have ensured a high academic quality of the EMC2.

Final


Gathering the best 25 teams in Geneva would not be possible without the Regional Rounds that were hosted by five different Organizing Committees. My sincere gratitude goes to all of them for running some of the most well-organized Rounds of this Competition in its 16-year history!

I would like to once again thank my incredibly supportive colleagues and friends on the ELSA International Board, my ELSA International Team and the whole International Organizing Committee – I could not have handled the organization of the Competition without you. I appreciate all the immense effort that you made during for this Competition throughout the whole year. Thank you for making this Competition an outstanding success.

Last but not least, thank you so much to all the teams and coaches, as well as the experts serving as Panelists during the week, for all the time and effort that you have put into the Competition. We are very happy that we were able to bring together law students from all over the world, to challenge them and to enhance their skills through the competition. Once again, the ELSA Moot Court has contributed to the future of international trade law.

Thank you all for making this edition truly unforgettable.

For the last time, I wish you all happy mooting.

Michelle Goossens Vice President for ELSA Moot Court Competitions ELSA International 2017/2018
