The Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition is a professional legal debate competition organized by the International Law Students Association (ILSA) of the United States. It is currently the largest, oldest, and most recognized mock court competition in the international community, and is known as the "Olympic competition" in the international legal community. Since the first time the competition was held in the Chinese competition zone in 2003, the Peking University team has won the Chinese competition zone championship five times in 2006, 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2018, respectively. This time, they have won the Chinese competition zone championship again, demonstrating the profound foundation and strong strength of Peking University Law School in the long-term development of domestic and foreign legal talent. In April 2023, the Peking University team will participate in the 64th Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition International Tournament. I wish the Peking University team another great success in the international competition!
