Welcome

Welcome to the 2013 White & Case Russian National Championship of the Jessup Competition. It is a fantastic privilege to welcome so many talented and enthusiastic students from all over the country to Moscow to take part in what promises to be a hectic but thrilling few days.

This year, 42 universities and over 200 students from all over Russia will compete in the Championship. The Russian National Championship is now officially recognized as the largest national competition in the world and is even larger than the equivalent regional rounds held in the United States.

Over the course of the competition, students will present complex legal arguments during oral pleadings to experienced professional lawyers and legal scholars in what, for most of them, is a foreign language. Needless to say, this is an incredibly demanding task, and we—the organizers of the Russian National Championship here at White & Case—are extremely impressed by the effort and commitment these gifted young people have shown in taking on this challenge, and we look forward to seeing them grow into the next generation of top legal professionals in the future.

We are extremely lucky that each year as part of the Russian rounds we welcome such a high caliber of judges from all over the world. The competition would not be what it is, were these people not prepared to give up this time in their busy schedules. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the judges and all the other volunteers who have so generously donated their time and energy to make the competition a success.

I wish all the teams the best of luck at the at the competition.

The Jessup Competition

The Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court CompetitionThe Jessup Competition was the brainchild of Professor Richard R. Baxter at Harvard Law School, who worked with Professor Stephen M. Schwebel (later President of the International Court of Justice) to create a courtroom simulation experience grounded in international law.

For those of you not familiar with “mooting,” it is an exercise in which students make written legal arguments to a court based on a set of facts and plead their case orally before a panel of judges. The Jessup is argued on the basis of public international law as if before the International Court of Justice—two students from a team represent an Applicant country, and the other two students represent the Respondent country. It is a difficult and time-consuming process, and requires a dedicated team of students (especially since the competition is conducted entirely in English).

Originally named the “International Law Moot,” the Jessup Competition held its first round at Harvard University on 8 May 1960. The round, comprised only of Harvard Law students, involved a team of two American law students, Thomas J. Farer and William Zabel, and a team of two foreign LLM students, Ivan L. Head of Canada and Bernard H. Clark of New Zealand. The first Jessup problem was titled, “Cuban Agrarian Reform Case,” and was written by then Professor Schwebel. Since then, the impact of the Jessup Competition has increased dramatically. This year’s Jessup Competition involves more than 600 schools from over 90 countries, making it still by far the largest moot court competition in the world.

From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and from the United States to the Congo, former Jessup participants and judges are now entering foreign, finance, and justice ministries in increasing numbers. They can also be found in the world’s finest law firms, corporations, universities, parliaments, and international organizations. Jessup participants worldwide continue to contribute their efforts to the development of international legal education as well as international law itself.

More than a competition, the Jessup is a fraternity of legal professionals, new and old, converging to build bonds and share an invaluable cultural and academic exchange.

The Honorable Philip C. JessupThe Jessup Competition is named after the Honorable Philip C. Jessup. Born in 1897 in New York, Judge Jessup received his bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College and his LLB from Yale. (He also earned a Master’s degree and PhD from Columbia and later, an LLD from Hamilton).

Judge Jessup had a long and distinguished academic, judicial, and diplomatic career. From 1961 to 1970 he was a member of the International Court of Justice.

He practiced law and taught at several American universities until 1961. Jessup was an assistant to Elihu Root during the 1929 Conference of Jurists on the Permanent Court of International Justice. He attended both the Bretton Woods and San Francisco conferences, and played a key role in the formation of the International Law Commission (ILC).

Jessup served as American ambassador to the United Nations from 1948 to 1953. He was President of The American Society of International Law from 1954 to 1955, and a member of the Curatorium of the Hague Academy of International Law from 1957 to 1968.

Judge Jessup’s publications include: The United States and the World Court (1929); International Security (1935); Elihu Root (1938); International Problems of Governing Mankind (1947); A Modern Law of Nations (1948); and Transnational Law (1956). In 1964, he was awarded The American Society of International Law’s Manley O. Hudson Medal for preeminent scholarship and achievement in international law and for the promotion of the establishment and maintenance of international relations on the basis of law and justice. Judge Jessup continued to lecture and teach until his death in 1986.

15Jessup 2013

Friends of the JessupThe Jessup is supported by a worldwide volunteer network of thousands of lawyers, judges, legal scholars, and volunteers devoted to the competition. The network, known as the Friends of the Jessup (FOJ), offers support through monetary contributions and legal expertise, without which the success of the competition would be impossible. ILSA is grateful to all the FOJs for their continuing support at all levels of the Competition.

The Jessup Competition in RussiaIn 2002 White & Case launched the first Russian National Championship of the Philip C. Jessup Competition, one of the firm’s many contributions to legal education in Russia. The 2013 Russian National Championship is the twelfth annual competition that White & Case has organized and sponsored.

Over the past ten years, the Russian National Championship has grown significantly. Fourteen teams from across the country participated in the first National Championship in 2002. By 2008 the competition had grown to about 50 teams and was recognized by the International Law Students Association – the worldwide organizer of the Jessup Competition – as the largest national round in the world. Forty two teams will compete in the Russian National Championship in 2013.

The 2012 Jessup was marked by an unprecedented achievement: a team of law students from Moscow State University won the 2012 White & Case Jessup Cup in Washington DC. The win by Moscow State University is only the seventh time in the 53-year history of Jessup that a non-native English speaking team has won the competition. Moscow State University faced Columbia University (US) in the championship round, which was held on March 31. Judges Joan Donoghue, Kenneth Keith and Hisashi Owada judged the final round representing the first time in Jessup history that three judges from

16

the International Court of Justice served on the Final Bench. Winning contestant Grigory Vaypan stated: “This is the third time that we’ve participated in the competition which really is an ‘Olympic Games’ for law students. Each year we’ve learnt and improved our overall performance. Winning this year means so much to the team, and is a really positive statement for law students from all over Russia. Experience, hard work and commitment have made this victory possible.”

Particularly noteworthy is the performance of the 2003 Russian National Championship team from Mari State University, who placed second at the World Championship in Washington, DC. Mari State’s success was unprecedented in Jessup history; no university had previously advanced to the final round of the Jessup World Championship within two years of the establishment of a national competition.

The Jessup offers Russian law students a rare opportunity to interact with international legal professionals who come to Moscow to participate as judges from all over the world.

The competition helps students put their legal skills into practice: researching current issues of public international law, preparing written memorials, and presenting their arguments orally before a simulated court. By taking part in the Jessup, students can make a huge jump in their professional development.

International Law Students AssociationThe idea of an organization to serve the needs of students interested in international law first arose shortly after the first Jessup Competition. In 1962, students from a number of campuses founded the Association of Student International Law Societies (ASILS). The Association evolved over the years and, in 1987, reconstituted itself as the International Law Students Association (ILSA). ILSA’s purpose is to promote awareness, study, and understanding of international law and related issues; to

17Jessup 2013

encourage communication and cooperation among law students and lawyers internationally; to contribute to legal education; to promote social responsibility in the field of law; to increase opportunities to learn about other cultures and legal systems worldwide; and to publicize career opportunities in international law.

ILSA is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 15 members. The Executive Office, staffed by the Executive Director and Executive Assistant, is headquartered in Chicago, IL.

Each year, the ILSA Congress elects the student officers and the ILSA Director. ILSA serves as an umbrella organization for its member chapters (known as International Law Societies) at individual law schools. Chapters exist as independent entities as well as members of the larger Association. ILSA’s structure grants autonomy to its chapters to meet their unique needs locally while making available to them an international network of pooled academic and organizational resources.

Individual membership is available to chapter members, pre-law and post-law students, and all others with an interest in international law and international legal education.

ILSA is now comprised of chapters and individual members from around the world. Local ILSA chapters have found that working under the scope of a larger organization has allowed them to enhance the quality of their local programming and to tap the larger network of global resources. ILSA supports student international law journals through the Conference of International Law Journals, advises students on opportunities in international law, and provides other general education programs and support to ILSA Chapters and individual members.

In addition to administering the Jessup Competition, ILSA produces several publications, including the ILSA Quarterly, the ILSA Journal of International and Comparative Law, and the FOJ Newsletter.

MGIMOThe Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) is one of the oldest universities in Russia preparing specialists in various aspects of international relations. MGIMO is believed to have been founded on October 14, 1944, when the USSR Council of People’s Commissars reorganized the School of International Relations of the Lomonosov Moscow State University into an autonomous Institute. After more than six decades of development, MGIMO is a well-known university and research center offering a variety of courses in 12 fields: International Relations and Diplomacy, Regional Studies and World Politics, World Economy and Commerce, International Public, Private and Finance Law, EU Law, Political Science, Governmental and Municipal Government, Journalism and Public Relations. The University’s structure comprises eight Schools and four Institutes. Fifty-three languages are taught at MGIMO.

Many prominent officials, political leaders, diplomats, scholars (20 Members and Corresponding Members of the Russian Academy of Sciences), businessmen and journalists graduated from MGIMO. More than two-thirds of the Russian diplomatic corps received their training at the University.

MGUAFounded in 1931, today the Moscow State Law Academy (MGUA) is one of the top law schools in Russia. As well as offering top-quality teaching, the Academy is highly active in research, with an academic staff (many of whom are well-known in the international community) each year publishing dozens of articles and textbooks, in addition to participating in national and international debate and policymaking. The Academy is also one of Russia’s largest law schools, with a student body of 17,000 across its six branches, including over 500 postgraduate students working towards Candidate (PhD) and Doctor of Law Degrees.

Law Firms Support Regional Jessup Teams

Lizunov, Belyanko & Partners is one of the leading law firms in Western Siberia due to its business turnover, level of service and customer-oriented approach. The firm provides legal services to medium and large businesses in five areas of legal practice: capital maintenance and movement, corporate practice and M&A, dispute resolution, real estate and land, tax disputes. Since its formation the company has gained experience in projects of high complexity in the field of capital investment and protection of the owners’ interests in unusual legal, financial and investment projects.

Why is our firm so actively engaged in working with students?

“We are convinced that mentoring law students by successful legal professionals is the key to improving the legal services quality on the Russian market in the future. Our goal is not only to share the experience in legal aspects with the next generation of lawyers, but also to develop in young lawyers a culture of social responsibility and professional ethics. In this context my colleagues and I are happy to coach the student team of Tomsk State University participating in the Jessup Competition – the world’s largest competition for law students.

It is nice to see that in recent years the paradigm about law schools has changed. Previously, if asked about law schools, you would name 3 to 5 universities, mostly located in Moscow. Today graduates of leading regional universities are among the successful partners of national and international law firms. I would especially like to single out our school – Tomsk State University. Founded in 1878, it is the strongest university in Western Siberia. We hope that some day our university’s name will be among the winners of the Jessup and other international competitions of this kind.”

S&K Vertical is one of the largest Russian law firms and owes its reputation mostly to its specialization in litigation and arbitration, bankruptcy and criminal law. S&K Vertical has held leading positions in the ranking of the most authoritative Russian web portal Pravo.ru over the past three years.

Konstantin Krutilnikov, senior partner of S&K Vertical, considers it necessary to support students’ moot court competitions as an essential element of future lawyers’ training. Such contests promote competitiveness, form necessary social skills and an ability to make decisions in stressful situations. “Students with such experience will undoubtedly become excellent professionals and team players”, thinks Konstantin.
