Vis Moot is one of the world’s most prestigious competitions in the field of international commercial arbitration. Vis Moot unfolds in two phases: a written stage running from October to January, and an oral stage from February to April. During the written stage, teams submit memoranda on behalf of both the claimant and the respondent. In the oral rounds, they present their arguments before panels of arbitrators in a series of hearings held during pre-moots and the main competition.

The Academy provides advanced summer courses in Paris to young practitioners interested in international arbitration. The curriculum is conceived by international arbitration academics and practitioners to cover all aspects of international arbitration, and the courses are taught by the most renowned experts in the fields of international commercial arbitration and investment treaty arbitration.

The Programme trains the next generation of qualified tribunal secretaries around the world and is taught by a world-class faculty. The training typically takes two and a half days, during which part of the participants work will be assessed.
