Feature Story
Law Students from Moscow State University Win 2012 White & Case
Jessup Cup
A team from Moscow State University won the 2012 White & Case Jessup Cup by finishing first in the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. White & Case is a global partner of the Jessup and sponsors the White & Case International Rounds and 12 national and regional competitions worldwide.

Moscow State University faced Columbia University (US) in the championship round, which was held on March 31 in Washington, DC. The win by the Russian team is only the seventh time in the 53-year history of the Jessup that a non-native English speaking team has won the competition.

White & Case's involvement with the Jessup goes back many years and includes the founding of the first-ever competition in Russia in 2002, now the world's largest national competition with nearly 50 participating universities. In 2012, six Jessup teams advanced to represent Russia in the White & Case International rounds.
