The CUHK LAW team performed with excellence in the 27th Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot (Vis Vienna moot) held virtually on 4-9 April 2020.

The virtual Vis Vienna moot attracted over 240 teams from top institutions around the world, including King’s College London, New York University, University of Heidelberg, etc. The CUHK LAW team mooted against the teams from Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia, and then defeated the teams from Czechia (former Czech Republic), Germany and Switzerland and advanced to the quarter final.
