The USD Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot team (“VICAM”) competes against over 300 international teams from over 80 countries across the world. As part of the perks, most of the team travels to either Vienna or Hong Kong towards the end of the year for tournaments known as the “Olympics of International Trade.”
Sound Interesting? Ask any current member or alumni of the team. Being a member of VICAM is hands-down the best experience that a law student can have in terms of developing oral advocacy skills, research skills, writing skills, and developing friendships around the world.
Each year the competition features an international sales contract dispute governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
VICAM begins their training in October for the March competitions. In preparation, the USD competes in practice competitions, we host our own practice competition, and we practice arguing under foreign laws and international trade agreements.
USD has performed extremely well at the international competitions winning advocacy, brief awards, and on multiple occasions, have advanced to the final elimination rounds of competition.
