Penn State Law contingent becomes first U.S. team in 15 years to win Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Austria

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State won a world championship this spring. And while it took the same kind of practice, stamina, dedication, teamwork, strength of spirit and mental toughness you might expect with any collegiate victory, it didn’t happen on a field, court, rink or mat.

It happened at the Olympics of private law on April 18 in Vienna, Austria, when a team of students from Penn State Law in University Park took top prize at the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot: the Eric E. Bergsten Award. In addition, Alice Gyamfi, a second-year law student at Penn State Law, earned the Martin Domke Honorable Mention for Best Individual Oralist, placing sixth in the competition.

The “Vis Moot,”as it’s known to participants, fosters the study of international commercial law and arbitration through a competition revolving around a concrete, but fictitious, business dispute. Each year, the Vis Moot organizers create a new problem involving a legal dispute between businesses engaged in cross-border transactions governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods."

Congrats to Penn State law. The Vis is a very good championship to win.
To those who many not know, there are many international moot court competitions, over 30 that are considered notable, although the Vis is one of 7 Major/grand slam events. The focus of the Vis is International Commercial Arbitration, as opposed to International Criminal Law, or Aviation Law, or Intellectual Property Law, as examples. The Vis was established in 1993, and the most Vis championships have been won by the University of Ottawa with three (3).

It is so moot you remain silent about it.

Is it really a moot court?

I mean why even go then?

 

[psuro]

I was gonna tailgate for that, but the information on when the lots opened was sealed by the courts.

Why bring it up now? The point is moot.

My grandson Jobie graduated two Saturdays ago with a Juris Doctorate in Law from The Pennsylvania State University.

Teams that face off in competition are often, once the round ends, providing support for each other, sharing ideas on different ways to approach the problem, going out together, and even teaching each other their school cheers. Just seconds after Penn State was announced as the winner, the well-known “We Are” chant — led by other schools and competitors — could be heard throughout the large Vienna arena filled with thousands of people.
As Dean Osofsky closed the Commencement, she told the audience what i have in bold above. That is also the way the commencement was closed.

Congrats to you both. Once he passes the bar exam he can join the other 5,374 other lawyers on this board.

That’s got nothing on “parody pricing”

 

[phillybillyreprise]

What does this have to do with the all encompassing football culture at Penn State?

For all intensive purposes, that's about right.

Give the kids a break, it should be Ira & Dambly in question. Casinos baby, what better way to enrich our Penn State culture than to bring casinos to Happy Valley.

“Preparing for the Vis is like having a full-time job on top of law school, except for those weeks when it’s like having two full-time jobs,” he said. “There are some weeks when it’s not quite like having a full-time job. But there are no weeks when it’s not at least like having a pretty demanding part-time job. This team has pulled together over the course of a year under pressure, and the way they have pulled together and stuck up for each other has been nothing short of inspiring.
