Spott Law Office law clerk Emily Spott has been selected to compete in an international moot court competition in Vienna, Austria this upcoming April. Ms. Spott is a second year law student at Hamline University School of Law where she has also been awarded a Dean's Scholarship and Bakken Fellowship. She is one of four Hamline students to compete on behalf of Hamline in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court Competition. Ms. Spott will compete as an oralist in Vienna and the team's written briefs will be judged in Hong Kong. Prior to traveling to Vienna, Spott will also compete at a pre-moot court competition in Chicago hosted by Loyola University.
The Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court Competition was designed to foster the study of international commercial law and arbitration for resolution of international business disputes through its application to a concrete problem of a client and to train law leaders of tomorrow in methods of alternative dispute resolution. The business community's marked preference for resolving international commercial disputes by arbitration is the reason this method of dispute resolution was selected as the clinical tool to train law students through two crucial phases: the writing of memorandums for claimant and respondent and the hearing of oral argument based upon the memorandums -- both settled by arbitral experts in the issues considered. |
