Olia: “Moot Court is the best way to study law from the “out-of-class” perspective. Thanks to this competition I learned a lot on a subject which was completely new for me and I had to use this newly obtained knowledge in a practical context. I really enjoyed the educational aspect of this Moot. Although I am not planning a career in international arbitration, I am grateful for practical skills I obtained in this competition.”

Wojtek: ‘Willem C. Vis Moot was a wonderful way to study the complexity of international corporate and trade law. Additionally it allowed me to test strengths and weaknesses of my advocacy skills. The Moot is a perfect supplement to the Polish legal education which is more theoretically oriented than e.g. common law legal training”

After six months of working on the problem I realized this is what I want to do in the future. In Vienna, I also had a chance to meet some great people and to learn from the best teams. I am sure this experience will pay off.”

Marcin: “Since the beginning of my studies I have been interested in private law, particularly in its international aspects and in comparative law. No wonder that last autumn I decided to join the JU team in the Sixteenth Annual of Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. It was an excellent choice – I have deepened my knowledge and developed my interests in comparative law as well as improved my skills concerning legal writing in English and reading in German and French. Apart from my legal interests, I am interested in history, architecture and classical music – so I enjoyed the trip to Vienna also from that point of view. In the future, I hope to become a legal advisor for business and I am sure that great experience from Vis Moot will help me in my career.”
