Mozolin Moot Court

V National Annual Moot Court on Arbitration of Corporate Disputes named after Professor Mozolin

In 2021 the Moot Court attracted attention of more than 600 people, namely, 315 students, 67 coaches, 180 arbitrators, 55 volunteers and 22 organisers took part in the event. While our innovative and convenient online Mozolin platform allowed us to hold about 100 rounds. And we are happy that each year these figures are only growing.

Remarkably, this year we held first-ever pre-moots together with Ural State Law University (Yekaterinburg), Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (Kaliningrad), Bashkir State University (Ufa) and National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow). The latter pre-moot was held in-person, allowing the participants to feel the full spectrum of emotions before the final rounds.

Also, traditionally on the eve of the offline rounds top Russian professionals spoke at the Fifth Conference, elaborating on the issues of the Moot Court’s Case. The Conference opened with a mini-lecture by Dmitry Zaikin, PhD, on “Hereditary Foundations in Russia: Evolution and Legal Nature”, that was followed by two separate sessions. The first session, “Mortis Causa: Arbitration and Hereditary Foundations” was organized by the Petrol Chilikov law firm, and the speakers were Egor Chilikov (Partner at Petrol Chilikov) and Alexander Yagelnitskiy (Counsel at Petrol Chilikov, Associate Professor at the Civil Law Department of the Faculty of Law of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, PhD), with Yulia Mullina (Executive Administrator at the RAC) moderating. During the second session “IPO: Legal Regulation and Practical Advice”, the speakers were the leading IPO specialists Arthur Iliev (Partner at Clifford Chance), Sergey Volkov (Counsel at LECAP), Alexandra Karachurina (Partner at BALAYAN I GROUP), with Marina Akchurina (FCIArb, private practitioner) as the moderator.
