CityU Law School Wins Entrance Ticket to World Prestigious Jessup Mooting Competition
28 February 2011
Mr Rajesh Sharma, Scarlette Cheung
On 26 February 2011, CityU School of Law hit the triumph bell at the Hong Kong Regional Round of Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition (Jessup Moot). The CityU team was comprised of Louie Chan, Michelle Chen, Jenny Hui, Kenneth Ip, and Winnie Wat.
This year, the teams argued two contemporary issues, one on the use of missile strikes to combat terrorism and the other on the freedom to manifest one’s religion. At the Hong Kong regional round, teams from CUHK, HKU and CityU took part. The HK regional round was held in a traditional courtroom in the High Court building in Admiralty on 25 and 26 February 2011. The three teams argued against each other separately to determine the regional champion. The judges score both the written and oral arguments for a combined total score in the General Round. The top two scoring team then advanced in the Championship round. In the Championship round, CityU faced off with HKU and emerged as the winner by the unanimous of votes of the three judges on the panel, chaired by the Honorable Justice Kamal Bokhary. Now CityU will represent the Hong Kong SAR in Washington D.C. for the international rounds competition.
Named after a prominent judge of the International Court of Justice, the Jessup Moot is the most prestigious mooting competition in the world. In 2011, more than 600 teams from over 80 countries participate with a view to compete in the final stages in Washington D.C.
In addition to the championship, the CityU team also won other awards for the Best Memorial for Applicant; and the Best Memorial for Respondent.
Louie Chan was ranked the Second Best Oralist and Winnie Wat received the award as the Third Best Oralist (ranked 3rd).
The achievement attained shows that each team member of the CityU Jessup Moot is equally capable and each was an invaluable strong link on the team.
