Advocacy beyond borders.
An international opportunity to research complex legal questions, develop written arguments and advocate before an international moot court bench.
The Leiden-Sarin International Air Law Moot Court Competition brings together law students from around the world to engage with issues at the intersection of international law and aviation.
Competing teams undertake substantive legal research, prepare written memorials and present oral arguments. The competition provides an opportunity to strengthen legal reasoning, persuasive advocacy and collaborative problem-solving in a specialised international field.
