Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Law Faculty of the Leibniz University of Hanover. The Institute for Procedural Law and Attorney Regulations (IPA) and the Institue for International Law is honored to host the 4th Hanover Premoot and to continue a tradition.
The Willem C. Vis Moot is designed to be an educational program with many facets of real Legal Profession in the form of a competition. Hopefully, this Premoot will similarly be an educational and beneficial experience for everyone.
Therefore, all team-members and coaches are encouraged to watch other pleadings when not scheduled to argue or to arbitrate (and if not forbidden by the rules of the Willem C. Vis Moot). We hope that the day’s events will allow not only teams to further refine their arguments and oral presentation but also to get in contact with each other. May the Hanover PreMoot be one herold for the spirit of the Willem C. Vis Moot in Hong Kong and Vienna.
Sincerely yours,
Professor Dr. Christian Wolf
- Executive director of the Institute forProcedural Law and Attorney Regulations (IPA)-
ForewordProfessor Dr. Christian Wolf

lässig Rechnung.
