The Law Society of Ireland has triumphed in the Irish national rounds of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.

The Law Society team of Alysha Hoare, Bessy Zhu, Cormac Bergin and Megan Fanning bested their opponents from the King’s Inns and will now move on to the international rounds beginning later in March.

Organised by the International Law Students Association (ILSA), the Jessup is the world’s largest moot court competition, with participants from roughly 700 law schools in 100 countries and jurisdictions.

The competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the judicial organ of the United Nations.
