Sofia University has won the Bulgarian National Rounds of the Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.  They will represent Bulgaria at the international rounds in Washington D.C. in April.

The Philip C. Jessup Competition is organized by the International Law Students Association (ILSA).  It is the world's largest moot court competition, with over 550 law schools in more than 80 countries around the world.  Thousands of law students from around the world have worked on this year's Jessup Problem, which for 2014 concerns the conflict between maritime development and environmental conservation, criminal jurisdiction, and maritime salvage rights for underwater cultural heritage.  More information about the Jessup Competition and the International Law Students Association is available by clicking here.
