Are you the one interested for Jessup 2026?

If you weren’t able to attend the Final Rounds of the 2025 White & Case International Rounds or watch it on YouTube, you are probably wondering what next year’s topic will be.

The Problem will present the following issues: (1) Who has the right to intervene in proceedings before the International Court of Justice? (2) What are the rights of indigenous peoples relating to rare earth minerals found in their land? (3) What are “the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations”? and (4) When is a state immune from the domestic jurisdiction of another state when it has caused economic harm to citizens of that state?

We expect the problem to be released in September 2025.
