Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is the biggest international competition for law students in the world. It is annually held in Vienna since 1994 and happens entirely in English, allowing law students to play the role of attorneys in an international commercial arbitration.
The competition always concerns a dispute arising out of a sales contract between two parties from different Contracting States of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The goal of the competition is to provide students the opportunity to get familiar with the international commercial law practice, as well as getting to know other students from numerous legal cultures.
In 2018, GEArb attended Vis Moot for the first time, taking a pioneering position in the state of Santa Catarina in relation to the study of international commercial arbitration and the participation in the competition. Even though it was its first participation, the UFSC team reached the 116° position among 362 teams. Among these other teams were distinguished universities in national and international level, such as Harvard, Sorbonne and Cambridge. This position demonstrates the UFSC students’ potential to stand out in the next editions.
Pre-moots are preparatory competitions that occur before the oral hearings in Vienna. The main pre-moots in Brazil are organized by CAM-CCBC in Sao Paulo and by Universidade Positivo in Curitiba. Internationally speaking, the Hamburg Pre-Moot is the one that stands out, it is also organized by CAM-CCBC and many brazilian teams participate in it.
