Summary/Abstract: Vis Moot is the leader moot court in international commercial arbitration, by teaching of doctrine and advocacy skills through participation, devoted to the education of ‘practice-ready’ lawyers. Vis Moot is actually a moot court in which participants attend several arbitration hearings of a commercial dispute governed by UN Convention on Contracts on the International Sales of Goods (CISG), based on a specific set of Arbitration Rules, which involves learning experience relevant to professional practice for all the actors involved, such as students, judges, arbitrators, trainers, lawyers and other practitioners. The moot ensures the teaching of substantive law through the written and oral process. The first one is writing the memoranda, both for Claimant and Respondent. The oral arguments are addressing the jurisdictional issues and then the merits of the case and are prepared in advance by law students, selected for their oral advocacy skills, together with their trainer team. The students are rewarded in the end on several topics, Best Memorandum for Claimant, for Respondent, Best team in oral hearings and Best oralist. The Vis Moot has a remarkable value for students, teachers, coaches, law schools and all those participating as arbitrators for educational opportunities and international visibility that can provide better position in the international educational network and in the legal world generally.
