The University of San Diego School of Law would like to thank all competitors at the 2016 Michael Thorsnes International Arbitration Competition.

The Michael Thorsnes International Arbitration Competition is a pre-moot competition open to all teams seeking to participate in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot competitions in Vienna and Hong Kong. We offer participants a chance to hone their skills against teams from all over the globe. All teams will argue at least three rounds, with the top team's continuing on to the finals.

In addition to the competitions, teams will be able to attend a number of social events and have a chance to explore sunny 
San Diego. This year, the University of San Diego School of Law has arranged discounts at two local hotels for our competitors. You may read more about those deals on our official team invitation, here.
