The Jessup Moot Court Competition is organized by the International Law Students Association in conjunction with the American Society of International Law. Over 600 law schools in approximately 100 countries participate in the competition annually. Through moot court competition, law students from Qatar University will learn practical skills that are conducive to the effective administration of legal matters required of law graduates who will become judges and legal practitioners in the Arabian Peninsula.
