A HUGE congratulations to the RMIT Vis team who have just returned from the Willem C. Vis East Moot - an intensive 7 day moot competition in Hong Kong! They competed against 137 international teams, representing fictitious clients in a multi-million dollar international commercial arbitration. The team not only received an Honourable Mention award for Best Claimant Submissions, but one of our own speakers, Lauren Meath, was awarded an Honourable Mention for Best Oral Advocate. Congratulations!!! |

We really want to congratulate our VIS team for their participation in the CiArb Moot, which we hosted alongside DLA Piper. This year's team was made up of Karim Ibrahim, Cassandra Knight-grull, Paul Sutton, Artemis Wilkinson and Lauren Meath. We would also really like to extend a special thank you to the team's coach Jonathan Kolieb and volunteer Emma Collard for all their work. This is an important pre-moot before they go to the VIS in Hong Kong! Good luck! |
