Learning outcomes

This seminar is aimed at introducing students to the topics which the Pax Moot competition deals with (transnational litigation at the European level). At the end of the seminar, students will have a basic understanding of the main subject matters necessary to take part in the competition and they will be able to decide whether to apply to participate in the competition.

Course contents

As the Pax Moot website recites, the PAX Moot Court is a specialized moot court competition focused on Transnational Law and Private International Law issues. In this competition, participants will be able to learn and apply first-hand the complexities and nuances of how international Conventions and EU Regulations interact in the context of globalization.
