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. It is the oldest student competition in the area of investment arbitration, with the first edition of the moot taking place in 2008. As the class-leading moot in its field, it is considered one of the grand slam or major moots. 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.
