Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Grades will be based on both the final submission and the assessment of research and drafting efforts made be the students.
Examination topics
The subject matters examined depend to a large extent on the subject matters addressed in the Moot Court case. They generally come from general public international law and have a focus on international space law as contained in the five United Nations treaties on outer space. Questions on the law of treaties, sources of international law, international liability, and state responsibility appear in almost every case.
Reading list
Will be announced on Moodle.

Regional pre-selections take place in five world regions: Europe, North Amerika, South America, Africa and Asia. The European Rounds are annually organised by the European Centre for Space Law (ECSL) in cooperation with a European university. The winner team of each pre-selection will go through to the World Finals, where three acting judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will be in the jury.
During the winter semester, written memorials for the claimant and for the respondent will be prepared. The summer semester will be dedicated to the preparation and training of oral pleadings. The language of the competition and the language of instruction of the course are English.
