Vis Moot - Pre-Moots
As part of the preparation activities, the CEU team traditionally participates in several Pre-Moot rehearsals with other universities, and team members are also expected to participate in try-out rounds organized in Vienna prior to the Moot, with different teams, depending on organization varying from one year to another.
In addition, since 2009 CEU hosts the only International Pre-Moot in Hungary which is an excellent opportunity to practice with teams from the region (and not only) in front of high level arbitrators, legal professionals and academics, coming to this successful event both from Hungary and abroad.
2012 Pre-Moot
Following the success the team of the Central European University achieved in previous years at the 16th and 17th Vis Moot Competition in Vienna and also following the recommendations to create a permanent practice with the CEU Pre-Moot rounds, we therefore proudly announce the
19th Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Pre-Moot
at the Central European University
aimed at preparation to the oral pleadings of the 19th Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Vienna, and at promoting international arbitration education.
Student teams are welcome to participate and practice for the Vienna competition, while legal practitioners and academics are invited to attend as moot arbitrators. Sponsors or potential hosts of social events are also welcome.
2011 Pre-Moot
In preparation for the 18th Vis Moot, the CEU team participated at the practice rounds organized at the University of Warsaw, and at the Catholic University of Leuven. In addition, it has several friendly rehearsal rounds with the team of ELTE University.
In March 2010 CEU hosted the 3nd HUNGARIAN PRE-MOOT. The two-day long event hosted 12 teams from 8 countries - a total of approximately 65 students, 16 coaches, and 25 arbitrators, who once again confirmed that the pre-moot is an excellent academic and professional event. Based on the scoring (identical with the one used in Vienna), the Best Oralist Award was offered to Mr. Per Speyer Mellemgaard from the University of Copenhagen.
2010 Pre-Moot
For the 17th Vis Moot, the CEU team participated at the practice rounds organized at the University of Warsaw, at the ICC in Paris, and at the Catholic University of Leuven.
In addition, in 2010 CEU hosted the 2nd HUNGARIAN PRE-MOOT on March 12 and 13, 2010. The two-day long event hosted 16 teams from 8 countries - a total of approximately 90 students, 17 coaches, and 30 arbitrators who all appreciated the pre-moot as being an excellent academic and professional event. Based on the scoring (identical with the one used in Vienna), the Best Oralist Award was offered to James Osun-Sanmi from the London College of Law.
