The Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Team will be having tryouts next Monday (September 30) and Tuesday (October 1) from 6 pm – 9 pmin WCC 5046. Please let me know if you are incapable of attending during any or all of those time periods.

In preparation for tryouts, please review the problem [https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/u/0/?ui=2&ik=67a5629de7&view=att&th=1415d50d8da91206&attid=0.1&disp=inline&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P9BIighxcTtYfDoATxQAC5M&sadet=1380488805653&sads=fxPIJXawAvVGp6gI4LRpfkamFwc&sadssc=1] and, following the instructions at the beginning, formulate a brief response to one of the included claims.

In addition, please provide a sample of your written work. This sample should, if possible, be of an argumentative, rather than academic, nature. For JDs, your 1L Ames Moot Court Brief would fit the bill, as would any memorial or brief prepared for another moot court team/competition. For LLMs, if you have no writing sample that matches this description, please submit any writing sample of approximately 10-20 pages. If you have produced this writing sample in conjunction with (an)other student(s), please indicate which section(s) you were responsible for.
