<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I want to invite you to participate in an interest meeting next Thursday, September 4, at noon, in room 303, to learn about a moot court competition I strongly encourage you
to consider trying out for next year, when you will be 2Ls (or in your 3L year). Participating in the interest meeting will also be a way for you to find out more generally about business/commercial/corporate offerings at Campbell, with or without an international
flavor. I teach Business Organizations and Sales & Leases at Campbell.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The competition is called the Willem Vis Moot Court and the final rounds take place in Hong Kong and/or Vienna (Austria) each year. Students selected on the team and then assigned
as oralists in the final round get to travel, for free, to Hong Kong or to Austria and network with students from other law schools all over the world. We typically also attend a number of preliminary rounds, called pre-moots, in the US (New York, Chicago,
Atlanta, etc). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Participation in the Vis Moot Court Competition involves writing two briefs, practicing moot court argument, participating in pre-moots, and traveling to the final rounds to
argue before international judges and against law students from around the world. I coach the team this year, with the help of the ever expanding network of Campbell Vis alumni, who are now practictioners throughout North Carolina. The problem involves contract
law ad there is also a procedural side to it, where there is some sort of issue (a conflict of interest, lack of jurisdiction, untimely filings, etc). It does last 6 monhs (October – March) but it is rewarded with 3 credits through a class taught during the
Spring semester.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
