2011 White & Case United Kingdom Jessup Competition

A team from the United Kingdom first competed in the Jessup in 1970 and since then the UK National Competition has grown in size and quality. The UK Jessup represents both the beginning and the end of different aspects of the competition. They mark the conclusion of many months of preparation by the competing teams filled with research, legal arguments and countless hours of perfecting mooting skills. They are also the beginning of what many will regard as the pinnacle of the competition - the demanding oral rounds of the UK National Competition.

The White & Case UK Jessup is also an important stepping-stone for the Jessup teams who advance to represent the UK at the White & Case International Rounds, or Jessup World Championships, to be held in Washington DC from 20-26 March 2011.

The UK Jessup teams perform exceptionally well at the International Rounds. The UK teams have received memorial and oralist awards and in recent years almost always place in the top 24 teams in the Preliminary Rounds.

Please note that the registration deadline is 15 November 2010. Contact Anne Holliday (UK National Administrator) for further information.
