Hello and welcome to the King's College London 17th Willem C. Vis Moot blog!
Following on from a tradition started last year of blogging about the Vis moot (http://kclvismootteam.blogspot.com/), this year the KCL Vis team is back to recount its journey to Vindobona (Vienna to you and me) and its amazing and memorable adventures on the way.
The Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is an annual international moot court competition held in Vienna, Austria. The object of the Vis Arbitral Moot is to foster study in the areas of international commercial and arbitration laws and encourage the resolution of business disputes by arbitration. The problem for the moot is always based on an international sales transaction subjected to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Intenational Sale of Goods, 1980 (also referred to as CISG) and also involves procedural issues of arbitration. The moot consists of submitting written memoranda prior to the moot on designated dates for both sides of the dispute (Claimant and Respondent in legal terminology). The oral argument phase of the moot is held in Vienna.This year, 253 Universities from 62 Countries are participating.
The Team representing King's College London, one of the 12 teams from the United Kingdom, consists of six members: Bhavna Gokaldas, Oliver Coddington, Ben Waidhofer, Heloise Robinson, Scheherazade Dubash, and Shingirirai Chaza.
The coaches are Greg Travaini, Katherine Lim, Ziva Filipic, and Gabriel Olearnik.
