The Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot (Vis Moot) is a globally recognized competition that promotes the field of international commercial arbitration, with a particular focus on resolving legal issues in international commerce. Each year, the Vis Moot attracts law students from universities across the globe, competing to hone their skills in arbitration and advocacy.
At Rezvanian International, we are committed to advancing international arbitration and fostering the next generation of arbitration professionals. As part of our scholarly activities, we proudly organize the Rezvanian International Vis Pre-Moot. This Pre-Moot is designed to prepare students for the main Vis Moot oral hearings in Vienna and Hong Kong. We provide participants the invaluable opportunity to practice their advocacy skills, develop sound legal arguments, and engage in simulated arbitration hearings judged by experienced international practitioners.
