2012 UK 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 2012 UK Jessup will take place on 16-19 February at The Honourable Gray's Inn in London.

The UK Jessup is 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 25-31 March 2012.

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 04 November 2011. Contact Edward Phillips (UK National Administrator) for further information.
