Key Points to Keep in Mind
• Carefully review the Rules of Procedure for formatting and submission guidelines
• Ensure that all arguments are clearly structured and supported with relevant authorities
• Double-check citations, formatting, and compliance requirements
• Submit the memorials well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues
The memorial stage is a critical component of the competition, reflecting not only legal research and drafting skills but also a team’s ability to present persuasive and well-structured arguments in international criminal law.
As teams prepare to submit their work, this is the final opportunity to refine arguments, strengthen analysis, and ensure that submissions meet the highest standards expected at an international moot.
Wishing all participating teams the very best as they complete their memorials and move forward in the competition.
