Jessup and Moot Court competition collections on HeinOnline
Among HeinOnline’s outstanding collection of databases, there are two that law students might find particularly interesting. The databases are the National Moot Court Competition and the Philip C. Jessup Library.
The National Moot Court Competition database includes current information and archives on the annual law student competition. Hein has collected the records and briefs back to the first national competition held in 1950 between teams of law students from Georgetown University Law School and Kansas School of Law. The competition is sponsored by the Young Lawyers Committee of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and the American College of Trial Lawyers.
In the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition Compendium, part of the Philip C. Jessup Library, Hein includes the Problem of the year, the Judges’ Bench Memorandum, the official rules of the competition, the list of schools competing, and the results. The International law Students Association organizes the annual competition. You can find more information about the competition on the ILSA website.
To access these HeinOnline databases, go to the Law Library homepage and select HeinOnline from the “Research Resources� under Quick Links on the left column. Browse down the list of databases on the HeinOnline welcome page. There are links to the National Moot Court Competition and the Philip C. Jessup Library.
