Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot (Vis Moot) Competition. On February 14-15, CLDP held a training on the fundamentals of international arbitration and oral advocacy. Following the training on February 16, CLDP hosted a one-day conference on current issues in commercial arbitration. On February 17-18, CLDP conducted a pre-moot competition with teams of law students and coaches from 10 universities across the South Caucasus and Europe.
