The Annual CCJ International Law Moot is an activity in which law students take part in a simulated court proceeding. To bring the proceeding to life, each law faculty or institution represents the claimant or defendant in an Original Jurisdiction case before Judges of the CCJ at the seat of the Court in Trinidad and Tobago. The CCJ views the Moot as an excellent way to introduce regional law students to the tenets of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas and raise awareness of the Court’s Original Jurisdiction.
This year, the Court will host the 14th Annual CCJ International Law Moot on 21 and 22 of March 2024 at the Court’s headquarters in Port of Spain. Seven (7) regional teams will compete in this year’s event:
- Eugene Dupuch Law School
