A team of students from American University of Sharjah (AUS) won top honors at the first annual Gulf Cooperation Council “Jessup Friendly” Moot Court Competition held recently in Kuwait. The competition, hosted by Kuwait International Law School, saw the winning AUS team address a variety of topics including litigation of an interstate dispute over the law of refugees, the use of transnational common-pool resources, the regulation of cultural property, evidence in international litigation, and the sources of binding international law before a mock International Court of Justice .

This victory comes on the heels of other recent successes. For the seventh consecutive year, the AUS team is the highest ranked GCC team participating in the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, known simply as “the Jessup” to international lawyers. At last year’s Jessup International Rounds in Washington, DC the AUS Moot Court Team won fifth place in the octo-finals.
