The Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is an annual international moot court competition held inVienna, Austria. The object of the Vis Arbitral Moot is to foster study in the areas of international commercial and arbitration laws and encourage the resolution of business disputes by arbitration. The problem for the moot is always based on an international sales transaction subjected to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Intenational Sale of Goods, 1980 (also referred to as CISG) and also involves procedural issues of arbitration. The moot consists of submitting written memoranda prior to the moot on designated dates for both sides of the dispute (Claimant and Respondent in legal terminology). The oral arguments phase of the moot is held in Vienna.

This year, 233 Universities from 58 Countries are participating. The Team representing King's College London, one of the 10 teams from United Kingdom, consists of four members: Camille Fléchet, Katherine Lim, Bram van Eeckhout and Basile Zajdela.
