16th Annual Middle East Willem C. Vis Pre-Moot

The Middle East Vis Pre-Moot seeks to bolster the inclusion and competitiveness of MENA teams in the annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. Organized by BCDR, the Middle East Vis Pre-Moot is an unmissable seedbed for budding dispute resolution leaders in the region. At the event, teams of law students test their skills in simulations of real-life cases and are assessed by renowned specialists in the field, whose advice and encouragement are invaluable to the students’ future development. The moot provides essential training for the annual Vis Moot in Vienna, Austria and Hong Kong.

The 16th Annual Middle East Willem C. Vis Pre-Moot will be taking place from February 8-12, 2026, at the Royal University for Women (RUW) in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
