“There was an error with the results,” one student that attended the competition shared with Campus Bee.

Out of the 3 judges that voted, 2 voted in a favor of UCU. The chairman however read out LDC as the winner.

“The individual performance of the UCU speakers was way better than that of the LDC team,” the student continued.

LDC celebrated the announcement of the victory while it still lasted until UCU petitioned to have the error rectified.

Emails were sent out to every institution that participated apologizing for the error and announcing UCU as the winner of the Jessup moot court national rounds.

However, LDC is not willing to cede to UCU. It has since then counter petitioned claiming the change of the results in favor of UCU is unfair.

There has been no official communication from the ILSA about the changes.

However, it is uncertain what impact the LDC petition will have. ILSA may let two teams go for the international rounds; have a rematch of the qualifier rounds; or alter the results.

Philip Jessup International Law Moot Competition

The Jessup Moot is considered the most prestigious moot court competition in the world as it hosts over 80 countries participating in the international rounds. It is always organized by the International Law Students Association (ILSA), and happens every year at Washington D.C. Uganda sends one team every year. LDC represented Uganda last year.

When asked how the UCU team would perform at the moots in the US, one students shared her thoughts.

“I think after the performance of UCU in Arusha last year, anything is possible. We shall face a good performance out there.”

The moots will take place between 9th and 15th April.
