Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court
The Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court or Frankfurt Moot is a moot competition organised by the Wilhelm Merton Centre for European Integration and International Economic Order and McDermott Will & Emery.[3] It is the oldest student competition in the area of investment arbitration, with the first edition of the moot taking place in 2008.[4][5] As the class-leading moot in its field (investment arbitration), it is considered one of the grand slam or major moots.[6] With the exception of India, national rounds are not conducted, but each university may only send one team, unlike the Foreign Direct Investment Moot. Like other arbitration moots, pre-moots are also conducted by institutions such as the International Chamber of Commerce and European Court of Arbitration.[7]
