The Vis Moot Program - Written Arguments Training is an interactive workshop for students participating in the Willem C. Vis International Arbitration Moot. This event, organized in collaboration with the IUS Faculty of Law (FLW) and Association ARBITRI, will take place at the International University of Sarajevo (IUS) from October 24-27, 2024. In many legal education systems, students often lack comprehensive training in persuasive legal writing and effective legal research. This training aims to address those gaps, offering students a series of exercises and lessons that will help them craft well-structured legal arguments. The Vis Moot not only prepares students for the competition but also equips them for an international legal career. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance their skills and provide them with the tools they need both for the competition and their future professional endeavors. The training will cover key areas such as persuasive legal writing, reviewing legal questions from the Vis Moot Problem, structuring legal arguments, and conducting legal research with a focus on the use of case law in persuasive legal writing. This program is sponsored by the US Department of Commerce, Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) and the US Embassy in Sarajevo, with funding provided by the US Department of State.
