Our Team
2017–2018 USD VICAM Team
The USD Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot (VICAM) team competes in the area of international commercial law and arbitration, also known as alternative dispute resolution. We are a student-run organization that enjoys the support of our faculty coaches and the University of San Diego School of Law.
The study of international law is an exciting and relatively new field, offering amazing opportunities for those considering a career that can be practiced pretty much anywhere in the world. Each member of USD VICAM takes a course titled International Asia-Pacific Commercial Arbitration, which introduces them to the field of international commercial arbitration and prepares them for the Vis Moots in Vienna and Hong Kong.
The mission of our team is to foster the development of international legal writing, arbitration, and oral advocacy skills among its members; to promote professionalism and academic excellence; to employ the talent and coaching of the faculty; to maintain the school’s outstanding reputation through international competitions; work in conjunction with other student organizations who have similar goals and interests, such that each member will be prepared to keep pace with the advancements of international law and commerce.
Each spring, students from more than 300 law schools from over 75 different countries participate in the Vienna and Hong Kong Vis Moot competitions. Our team strives to hone our international arbitration skills as we prepare to compete against talented students from all over the world. Many of our current and former VICAM team members find the research, writing, and oral advocacy components of Vis Moot extremely rewarding. In addition, the opportunity to represent USD while competing overseas proves to be one of the most memorable and meaningful experiences a law student can have.
