Welcoming the Jessup Teams

In February, HANEFELD Associates Edward L. Rensmann und Dr Christian Johannes Wahnschaffe, together with our research assistant Niklas Holz, had the pleasure of welcoming the Jessup Teams of the University of Hamburg and the Bucerius Law School to our Hamburg office for two practice rounds.

Congratulations to the students from both teams, who did an outstanding job of offering creative and well-researched answers to complex questions of public international law. Edward, Johannes and Niklas enjoyed the discussion on the ICJ’s jurisdiction, immunities and limitations of the territorial sea, which continued over snacks and drinks after the formal pleadings.

We extend our best wishes to the teams and keep our fingers crossed as the Bucerius Jessup Moot Court team continues its journey to the International Rounds in Washington D.C. as only one of three teams from Germany.
