Moot Court

THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL AIR LAW MOOT COURT – ISTANBUL 15 – 18 MARCH 2012

The second edition of the International Air Law Moot Court Competition which took place in Dubai, UAE, from 12-14 March 2011 was a very successful event with ten teams participating who presented fascinating pleas while our Dubai hosts generously and graciously received their guests.

This time, the Sarin Memorial Legal Aid Foundation from India and the International Institute of Air and Space Law of Leiden University in the Netherlands join forces with Istanbul University with the purpose of organising the third edition of the International Air Law Moot Court Competition. The International Air Law Moot Court Competition is a unique opportunity for students seeking to gain experience in the development of arguments in the field of international law and international air law, while also establishing contacts around the world.
