LAWASIA Moot

The LAWASIA International Moot Competition ("LAWASIA Moot") is an annual international moot court competition that is organised by LAWASIA, an international organisation mainly comprising bar associations, lawyers, judges, and academics.

The moot problem ranges from international human rights to international commercial arbitration, and the venue of the competition rotates between LAWASIA member states as it is usually held in conjunction with the annual LAWASIA Conference.

Up to 40 law schools from around the world take part in the moot each year, with Malaysia and India being the only jurisdictions thus far to conduct national rounds.

The first edition of the moot was in 2005 and took place in Gold Coast, Australia.

The 2021 competition retained the online format due to continued travel restrictions.
