[VisMoot 2018: A Retrospective]

Another edition of the Vis Moot has passed and we rest with the conviction that 2017-2018 has been an incredible year for the UERJ Team, that left the competition with 8 awards!

Beyond qualifying to the knockout Rounds of the Vis East Moot, and each of our three mooties, Julia FigueiredoLuiza Mattos and Marvio Bonelli receiving honorable mentions, besides the honorable mention for the best Memoranda for Claimant, we achieved even more awards in Vienna!

We ended the oral hearings of the 25th Vis Moot among the 16 best Universities in the world, in a competition disputed by 362 contestants! We also won the award Eric E. Bergsten, for qualifying to the Round of 16, and the award Martin Domke, for the honorable mention received by our mootie Maria Vittoria Regini, one of the best speakers in the competitions.

At last, we also received the award Pieter Sanders, honorable mention for best Memorandum for Claimant. We are proud to be the Brazilian team with the biggest number of awarded Memoranda, a total of 6 until this moment!


The great results in the Vis Moot, Vis East and in many Pre-Moots disputed crowns 8 years of the UERJ Team's participation, reassuring how consistent the academic and professional backgrounds of our students are, confirming the position of the Faculty of Law of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro as a center of international excellence.

We congratulate all the effort and dedication of our mooties: Ana Carolina VillaAnna Cintia XimenesBruna Goldenstein, Daniela Amarante, Daniele NissanGuilherme MonegalhaGiovana CarneiroGustavo Azevedo, Julia Figueiredo, Lucas Prata, Luiza Mattos, Maria Vittoria Regini, Mariana Rezende and Marvio Bonelli!

Winners of the VIII Petronio Muniz Brazilian Arbitration Competition! 🏆

One week ago we were still at the Mackenzie University, in São Paulo, celebrating the news we've been hoping for during six months! WE WERE WINNERS OF THE VIII BRAZILIAN ARBITRATION COMPETITION!

More than 50 Law Schools among the country participated in the competition, considered to be the biggest one in Latin America. 

This result was only possible thanks to all the effort put in the work of our students: Anna Cintia Ximenes, Bruna Goldenstein, Daniela Amarante, Guilherme Monegalha, Ana Carolina Villa, Daniele Nissan, Gabriela Cavalheiro, Giovana Carneiro, Gustavo Azevedo, Letícia Campos, Maria Vittoria Regini, Mariana Rezende, Marvio Bonelli.
We also thank to our coaches for investing their time, knowledge and dedication in our preparation: Daniel Gruenbaum, Isabel Miranda, Bernard Potsch, Stela Hühne Porto, Mariana Campinho.
This result not only demonstrates the excellence of the public education provided by our University, but also gives us hope to overcome the difficult financial moment said institution has been through!
