Frankfurt Drafting School

This week we took part in the Drafting School in Frankfurt. We came to the IG-Farben building of the Goethe-University and were pleasantly welcomed by the organizers. Teams from different cities participated in the 10^thAnnual Frankfurt Drafting School. On the first day, we have heard a lecture on the  CISG with Prof. Huber from Mainz. He gave us helpful case examples and told us about his experience as arbitrator in Vienna. On the second day, there was a workshop on drafting a memorandum. We got a deep insight on how to write a persuasive memorandum. The lecturers gave us usable hints to effectively structure our arguments to guide the reader. The last day was a practical day. We received the 16^th Moot case and structured our arguments to represent claimant in the case. After it, we discussed two of the results in the plenum.

It was a great experience to participate in the Frankfurt Drafting School. We met other Moot Teams, learned a lot about Arbitration and we came closer as a team.
