New Team is starting its work on the 2021/2022 Compromis of the Philip C. Jessup Moot Court:

Rika Behn

Rika is currently in her 4th semester. It has been her goal to study law for a long time as she considers this the best way to contribute to the development of our country’s sense of justice. In particular, she is interested in comparing contrasting legal systems, for instance in aspects of history, culture or national values. Hence, International Law caught Rikas attention, especially Public International Law. She chose to join the Jessup Moot Court Competition to broaden her legal knowledge and be part of an exchange of students and lawyers from all over the world.

Franziska Bachmann

Franziska just completed her specialisation in European and International Law. Her passion for International Law stems primarily from her involvment in Model United Nations as well as her participation in an intensive seminar on International Law in at Macquarie University in Sydney. Franziska became acquainted with the Jessup Moot Court through her work as a student assistant to the Chair of Public Law, European Law, and International Law at the University of Hamburg. In this context she had conversations with former Jessup participants which sparked her motivation for participating in the Jessup Moot Court.

Marie Siegemund

Marie is currently specialising in European and Public International Law. She has always been eager to learn about international affairs and in addition, has been part of several international projects. This furthered her interest in International Law and politics which is why she decided to specialise in European and Public International Law. Marie considers the Jessup Moot Court to be an opportunity for practical implication of Public International Law as well as overall personal developement. In addition, she is excited about solving problems while working in a team as well as networking with Jessup participants across the globe.

Alma Brahimaj

Alma is currently in her 4th semester. Justice and equality are matters close to Almas heart. This eventually lead to her moving to Germany from Albania three years ago to pursue law studies at the University of Hamburg. She became interested in Public International Law due to its influence on global matters and its congruence with fundamental goals such as advancing peace, prosperity, human rights and environmental protection. Due to her curiosity in this legal field, she has attended various online courses on Public International Law. Alma wished to join the Jessup Moot Court to deepen her understanding of International Law and experience practicing it.
