Applications for this year's team have now closed.  Details of our new team will be released shortly.

In 2018-19, the University of Glasgow participated in the Vis Moot for the second time. The University was represented by a team of five students:

• Chantal Batz (LLM)
• Martin Clement (Scots Law LLB, Graduate entry)
• Tereza Duchonova (Scots Law LLB)
• Bethan Jones (Diploma)
• Samuli Kiviranta (Scots Law LLB)

The team was coached by Dr Javier Solana, Grace Cameron (Diploma 2018), Christy Foster (Diploma 2019), Nicolas Jaberg (LLM 2019) and Julien Wylenzek (LLM 2019). They are all proud Vis Moot alumni.

In the oral arguments in Vienna, the team came 202^nd out of a total of 372 teams. In preparation for the oral arguments, the team participated in the Madrid, Edinburgh and Prague pre-moots. 

Thanks

The team’s participation in the 26^th edition of the Vis Moot would not have been possible without the financial support provided by Herbert Smith Freehills, the Chancellor’s Fund at the University of Glasgow, and Mr John Taylor. We are deeply grateful for their support.

We would also like to express our gratitude to Kay Munro for her support with legal research skills and to Rona Cameron for her administrative support. We would also like to thank Dr Bobby Lindsay, Mr Donny Mackinnon and Dr Antonio Marzal for hearing the team’s arguments in internal mock moots and providing the team with helpful feedback, and the organisers of the pre-moots in Madrid, Edinburgh and Prague for the opportunity to broaden the Vis Moot experience beyond Vienna.
