Judging at the Jessup
The Jessup Competition is judged by volunteer academics, attorneys, judges and, more broadly, selected individuals with knowledge and interest in public international law.
We are very grateful to all volunteers who generously contribute their time and expertise as Jessup judges. Please note that judging the Jessup is a voluntary engagement, and any costs or expenses associated with participation are borne by the individual volunteer. While we greatly appreciate your contribution, Jessup Italy is unfortunately unable to provide financial support or reimburse expenses.
Judges Registration
Below are helpful resources and guides made available by ILSA for both returning and new judges. The materials are divided based on resources for oral rounds scoring and grading of the written memorial submissions.
