The Ukrainian office of Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners is sponsoring the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court team from the Institute of International Relations at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev (IIRTSNU) in the upcoming White & Case International Rounds of the 2014 competition.

The International Rounds will be held on April 6-12 2014, at the Capitol Hilton Hotel, in Washington, D.C.

The Ukrainian National Round took place on February 14-16, 2014, at the Higher Commercial Court of Ukraine. In the final round, the team from the IIRTSNU won, in the process qualifying to represent Ukraine in the prestigious International Rounds.

This year will be the 55th year of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. Jessup is the world's largest moot court competition, with participants from over 600 law schools in more than 90 countries. The Competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations. One team is allowed to participate from every eligible school. Teams prepare oral and written pleadings arguing both the applicant and respondent positions of the case. Thousands of law students from around the world participate on the assigned problem, which for 2014 concerns the conflict between maritime development and conservation, criminal jurisdiction, and maritime salvage rights. The winning team will be awarded the White & Case Jessup Cup.
