Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.

During the tournament, they competed with 91 other teams, and will now advance to the international tier of the competition in Washington, D.C. later this month. Georgia Law student Marion Kronauge (J.D. ’26) served as a student coach, while Caleb Grant (J.D. ’23) served as the alumni coach. Taher Benany, Associate Director of the Dean Rusk International Law Center, also served as a coach for the team.

The Jessup competition is the world’s largest moot court tournament that typically fields teams from roughly 700 law schools in 100 countries and jurisdictions around the globe. Georgia Law’s past performances in Jessup competitions can be found here.
