Participated in 24th Annual International Commercial Arbitration Moot on behalf of the University of Lapland. This competition includes two parts: writing memoranda and oral pleadings.During first part of the competition I built excellent writing skills in legal English. Furthermore, I developed strong skills of a team work in the international environment, as our team included representatives of three countries: Finland, Italy and Russia.I strengthened my skills at oral argument during second part of the competition. Additionally, oral pleadings revealed to me practical insights of the international commercial arbitration and, therefore, I gained practical experience of resolving commercial disputes through arbitration.
