On March 22 and 23, 2010, the PCA will host practice moots to prepare students for the annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Vienna from March 26 to April 1, 2010. The practice moots will be held at the PCA’s facilities in the Peace Palace.

Over the two days, each team will have the opportunity to plead twice as Claimant and twice as Respondent. Highly qualified international arbitration specialists from a wide variety of jurisdictions will serve as arbitrators. At the end of the practice rounds, the teams will be ranked and each team will receive separately the scores of its individual oralists.
