As in previous years, 20 students from the FernUniversität Hagen (Germany), the Open Universiteit (Netherlands), UNED (Spain), the Open University (UK) and the University of Wroclaw (Poland) will meet at a wonderful location in the EU and have the opportunity to work together as international litigating teams in a moot court simulation designed to offer a high quality learning experience and insight into real lawyering work. In addition, participants will get a valuable chance to have a meaningful exchange with students and instructors from other European jurisdictions in an institutionally supportive and intellectually challenging environment.

The programme begins with an online preparatory phase in April during which participants are expected to take a few short online courses. In the course of the programme you will receive well-structured and intensive training not only in legal matters, but also in soft skills such as academic debate, legal English, intercultural communication and team work. This year again we are running two parallel moot court simulations, one dealing with private legal problems, the other with Public International Law. In order for us to better process your applications, we kindly ask you to indicate in which of the two moot courts you would like to participate (Private International Law or PubIic International Law).

Successful applicants are expected to:

• be registered as LLM students at one of the organizing institutions and
• have a good command of English.

The following basic information must be observed for the course:

Accommodation and travel expenses will not be covered by the EDELNet Partnership although we will try to organize some funding within the PROMOS program and organize a suitable accommodation for everybody in one of the dormitories of Madrid University.
