Students from across the globe gathered in the Stephen S. Weinstein Courtroom to participate in the 28th annual Inter-黑料app Human Rights Moot Court Competition.

The competition is a unique trilingual (English, Portuguese, and Spanish) event established to train law students on using the Inter-黑料app human rights legal system as a legitimate forum for redressing human rights violations.听

Since its inception in 1995, the competition has trained over 4900 students and faculty participants from over 365 universities from the Americas and beyond. Written on a cutting-edge topic currently debated within the Inter-黑料app system, the hypothetical case operates as the basis of the competition, as students argue the merits of this case by writing legal memoranda and preparing oral arguments for presentation in front of human rights experts acting as the Inter-黑料app Court of Human Rights.

This year's Moot Court Competition听was named in honor of WCL Professor Elizabeth Abi-Mershed.听Learn more about the Moot Court competition.
