ELSA Moot Court Competition
The ELSA Moot Court Competition (EMC²) is a simulated hearing in the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement system. Competitor teams represent both the Complainant and Respondent parties to the Case by presenting oral submissions in front of a Panel. EMC² Panels consist of WTO law experts and are referred to as Panellist. The Competition provides students with the opportunity to put theory into practice, thereby complementing their formal legal education. Further information can be found at www.elsamootcourt.org
World Trade Organisation - Technical Partner
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only international organization dealing with the global rules of trade between nations. Its main function is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible.The WTO currently consists of 153 member nations. Essentially, the WTO is a place where member governments go, to try to sort out the trade problems they face with each other. The WTO was born out of negotiations, and everything the WTO does is the result of negotiations. The goal of the WTO is to improve the welfare of the people of the member countries.
The ELSA Moot Court Competition on WTO law therefore supports WTO’s enforcement of the rules via the Dispute Settlement Understanding system.
