UC Law mooting society wins in the national round of another international moot court competition

The UC Law Mooting Team emerged as third place in the recently concluded national round of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition and earned the right to represent the Philippines in the international rounds. UC Law’s oralist, Claire Rojas, also bagged the 8th best speaker award.

This year’s UC Law Mooting Team for Jessup is composed of Shergina Alicando (3L), Claire Rojas (3L), Dianne Pogosa (3L), Al Jay Mejos (3L), and Lord Lawrence Latonio (2L). Their coaches are Atty. Lievj Raoni “Gob” Alimangohan and Atty. Rami Amer Hourani. The team could not have made if not also for the guidance and support of their adviser, Atty. Rose Liza Eisma-Osorio, and UC Law Stetson Team coach Atty. Kristine Joy Argallon.

Jessup is considered the largest and most prestigious moot court competition in the world with over 500 participants from approximately 100 countries competing. 

In January this year, UC Law’s Mooting Team for Stetson also qualified for, and will represent Southeast Asia in, the international rounds of the Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition happening next month. 

At UC Law, we help our students develop global competence and provide them with opportunities that will also prepare them for global law practice in the future.
