Alžběta Kubitová, Zuzana Holakovská, Pavlina Krausová and Daniel Askari; coach
Dr. Tymofeyeva) made it to the 4
th
best place (of 79 teams) in the written rounds,
while in the oral rounds that took place in Strasbourg they made it to the 5
th
best
place. It is worth mentioning that during the round with the University of Cambridge
(winner of the whole competition), they scored higher. A fantastic result indeed.
Another amazing success of the Charles University teams occurred this year in
the European Law moot courts as well. The
Central and East European Moot Court
Competition
team (composed of Lucie Škapová, Kateřina Novotová and Ondřej
Dolenský; coach Dr. Kunertová) took place in spring 2016, where our team
won
the
whole competition, despite high competition of teams from both Europe as well as
Asia. The moot panel was presided by the General Advocate Eleanor Sharpston from
the Court of Justice of the European Union, other members included the General
Advocate Michal Bobek. The travelling finals took place in Bratislava, Comenius
University this year.
The private international law issues were dealt with in the
Willem C. Vis Interna-
tional Commercial Arbitration Moot
. The Charles University team (composed of
Bára Bečvářová, Mariam Gulbani, Tadeáš Matys, Mikoláš Růžek and Ekaterina
Semenkova; coaches dr. Kordač, Mgr. Vošahlík and Mgr. Čech) for the first time in
history made it to the selection rounds, i.e. among 64 best teams and also won over
the last year winner, the University of Ottawa. The team has made it to the best 32
teams and Mariam Gulbani was also awarded with the Honorable Mention for the
Best Oralist.
Let me congratulate all our team members for their fantastic results. I hope
they enjoyed the experience of competing in prestigious competitions and will
remember it for their whole lives. And hopefully, such results will go on for the
Charles University teams.
