Jessup...April 12, 2014 in Washington DC (USA) 55th Anniversary international round of Philip Jessup Competition was finished. Philip Jessup Competition is the largest and the most prestigious competition on public international law in the world. Over 500 university teams from around the world took part in the competition this year. As the result of the national rounds 126 best teams in the world have been awarded the right to represent their country on the international stage of the competition. Russia was presented by 5 teams, which have become the best teams among 39 teams participating in the national stage of the competition.

The SFU’s team took 24th place and reached 1/16 finals of the international phase of the competition for the first time in the Law Institute’s history. (http://www.ilsa.org/jessup/jessup14/2014%20Advanced%20Rounds.pdf).

Our team defeated teams from the United States (State University of New York at Buffalo), Turkey (Galatasaray University) and Brazil (Federal University of Santa Maria), but in 1/16 finals lost to the Slovenian team (University of Ljubljana), which took the 9th place in the overall ranking after the qualifying rounds. Thus, the Law Institute of the SFU confirmed that it deserves to be among the best law schools in the world.

The Memorial (written positions of the parties in the case) of our team were highly appreciated by the judges of the competition and awarded 14th place in the global rankings (http://www.ilsa.org/jessup/jessup14/2014%20Top%2030%20Team% 20Memorial% 20Rankings.pdf). The SFU team memorials were rated even higher than works of teams from the UK (Oxford University) and the USA (University of Denver and Columbia University).

Moreover, an assessment of our team’s memorials was higher than rating of written work of this year winner – the team from Australia (University of Queensland). 

It should be noted that there were only three Russian teams among the top 32 teams qualified to participate in the last rounds of the competition in Washington: the Moscow State University team (17th place), the Siberian Federal University team (24th place) and Moscow State Institute of International Relations (31th). 

This year, the team of the Law Institute of the SFU was represented by the students of the Comparative Law Department – Kseniya Gulyaeva, Anastasiya Kachanova, Olga Koroleva (5th year) and Irina Balaganskaya (3rd year).
