Moot Courts

In cooperation with the ICWC, students from various disciplines are sent each year to participate in so-called Moot Courts. These involve the simulation of one or more court proceedings. Students usually take on the roles of the prosecution or the defense, and in some cases also of the judges. This allows them to apply and practice the theoretical knowledge they have acquired during their studies in a practical setting. Participants are supported by mentors who provide guidance and training.

The Nuremberg Moot Court in International Criminal Law takes place annually in the historic Courtroom 600 in Nuremberg – the venue of the Nuremberg Main War Crimes Trial – and enjoys international recognition and popularity. Marburg teams have successfully participated in recent years.

The Model International Criminal Court (MICC) is held every spring in Krzyżowa (Kreisau), Poland. Here, students not only assume the roles of prosecution and defense, but also have the opportunity to serve as judges. Additionally, the MICC includes a press team, making this Moot Court particularly attractive for students from non-law disciplines.
