Moot Court Competitions

The Faculty of Law takes pride in its dynamic and successful participation in international moot court competitions. Moot court activities are one of the most developed extracurricular opportunities offered to students, providing them with invaluable practical skills and experiences. Over the past decade, the Faculty has significantly expanded its engagement, growing from a handful of competitions to participation in at least ten European and global events annually. 

Each year, the specific competitions the Faculty participates in are shaped by student interest and opportunities provided by the organizers. The dedication and expertise of the junior academic staff, who serve as team coaches, have been instrumental in driving this program forward. Their enthusiasm has led to remarkable achievements, with the Faculty’s teams frequently earning top honours.

The Faculty of Law organizes the All-European International Humanitarian and Refugee Law Moot Court Competition annually, offering students a unique opportunity to delve into critical issues of international humanitarian and refugee law. The competition, first organized in Ljubljana in 2016, is structured around a carefully crafted case study, developed in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The case study focuses on the most pressing and relevant legal questions, often inspired by ongoing global crises.

This competition aims to deepen students' understanding of fundamental principles in international humanitarian and refugee law by challenging them to solve real-world legal problems. Participants also refine their legal reasoning and advocacy skills, presenting arguments before experienced judges and expert panel members. 

Stay tuned for the 2025 case study!
