International Court of Justice

Delegates in the International Court of Justice serve as either the prosecution or defense for their team’s case. Delegates will also participate in a jury, asking questions and deliberating the cases they are not representing. Delegates will be grouped into teams of four by delegation, and will work together to research their case, develop their arguments, and write a case brief, a legal document with a written argument submitted to the court. The research and brief will serve as a tool for the team to use to organize their arguments and win the jury’s votes.
