Jessup Competition 2007
The Philippine National Rounds of the Philip
C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition
Team 893 Wins Philippine National Rounds
The
Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Competition is a prestigious, internationally
recognized moot competition, which was created in the United
States in 1959 by the International Law Students
Association (ILSA). The competition is named after Philip C. Jessup, a judge
of the International Court of Justice, and it has risen to the preeminent
position of being the largest moot court competition in the world, now involving
more than 2000 students from nearly 600 law schools from more than 90 nations on
six continents.
This Year's Problem
The 2007 Jessup Problem raises issues of State
membership in international organizations. It discusses principles surrounding
an international organization's responsibilities to non-member States and the
rights and responsibilities of Member States vis-à-vis non-Member States. It
also raises questions concerning the appropriate mechanism for resolution of
disputes between international organizations and non-Member States.
Philippine National Competition
The University of St. La Salle (USLS) College of Law
is the proud host of this year's National Competition, which will be held on 22-23 February
2006 in Bacolod City. The National Competition will determine the Philippine representative to the
Shearman & Sterling International Rounds of the Jessup Competition.
Best Finishes for the Philippines
The
Philippines has won the Jessup World Championship Cup twice: First, in 1995 when
the University of the Philippines defeated the University of Western Australia;
and Second, in 2004 when the Ateneo de Manila University defeated the National
University of Singapore.
