Registration for Pax Moot 2020 is now open!
Teams are invited to register for the PAX Moot, Asser Round 2020. Registration will be possible until March 30th. However we do advise teams to register as soon as possible. The registration fee is 100 Euros per team.
The moot court competition comprises a written round and oral round. For the written round each team will be required to submit a written assignment as requested by the case (for details, see Rules and Procedures). The oral round will be scheduled as a 2 full-day event on 28-29 May 2020, preceded by a welcoming event for all teams on 27 May (evening). The first day of the competition (general rounds) will be held at the University of Antwerp. On the second day, the participating teams will be invited to the EU Commission in Brussels, where the semi-finals and final rounds will be held.
This year, we have invited Alex Layton QC, a leading specialist in private international law, to draft the case and be a member of the final panel of the oral round.
The organising team hopes that this year’s competition will attract many teams from EU Member States and beyond! Besides the collective prizes for best team and best written submission, one member of the final winning team will be given the “Best Speaker Award” of the moot, and our partner, Herbert Smith Freehills, has graciously invited the next recipient of that award for an internship in its Paris office!

Sincerely,
PAX Moot Team
