The Hague (PCA) Pre-moot (22-23 March 2010).


On Sunday 21 March, the team boarded the Thalys bright and early (too early!) to Rotterdam, where we would then proceed to our next stop: The Hague.

The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) Pre-Moot was taking place on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 March. We were scheduled to plead against Paris XI and Carlos III Madrid on Monday, and Cologne and IHEID Geneva on Tuesday.

This is the second year that the KCL team participated in the PCA pre-moot. This year the pre-moot was equally welcoming, thanks to Sarah Grimmer, Jara Minguez Almeida and the rest of the PCA team.

One of the attractions (apart from the excellent teams who attend) of mooting in the PCA is the fact that it is held in the Peace Palace, home of the International Court of Justice.

After the pre-moot concluded, we were sent the team rankings...and found out that we had WON the PCA Pre-Moot! Go team go!
