International Roman Law Moot Court

The first five competitions from 2008 to 2012 were organized under the auspices of the Mohamed Ali Institute for the Study of Eastern Tradition (IMARET).

This non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting the common heritage of the Mediterranean countries is based in Kavala in northern Greece and is now known as the MOHA Research Center.

The initial case for the competition typically falls during the reign of Emperor Justinian the Great (527-565 AD).

The Moot Court takes place in a different location every year, such as Trier in 2017, Liège in 2018 (Heidberg Monastery)[6][7] and Cambridge in 2019.
