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.

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).
