The UP team finished third in the world’s biggest and most prestigious moot court competition, the Jessup Cup. This year’s competition drew as participants an unprecedented 137 teams from all over the world, from an original 600 schools that competed in the different national and regional rounds held worldwide. While the UP Law team yielded in the semi- final round to the Russian team from the Moscow State University, the same team that would later beat Columbia University to emerge as this year’s champion, the UP feat was nonetheless sweet if only because the stories of those who constituted the team tell the world what a UP education is all about.
Each member of the team represents a section of UP’s student body. It is this kind of a student body, not just financial resources, that will ensure the preeminence of the National University in the years to come.
