At the Willem C. Vis (East) International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Hong Kong from 11 to 18 March, the China-EU School of Law team continued to perform strongly in one of the world's most prestigious competitions for law students. Team members were Chen Jing, Li Xiaojing, Sun Leimeng, Wang Xiaotong, Yang Sijie, Yang Weiming, Yue Peng and Zheng Yan. The coaches were Professor Susan Wintermuth and Assistant Professor Monika Prusinowska.

The master's students competed with four teams from Sri Lanka, Germany, France and India. The students pled twice as claimants and twice as respondents, demonstrating their skills in the field of promising young lawyers of the future. “All eight team members came back with expansive knowledge of international trade law and dispute resolution,” says Assistant Professor Monika Prusinowska. "They also made new friends and were able to establish professional contacts."
