VIII National Moot Court on Arbitration of Corporate Disputes named after Professor V.P. Mozolin

In 2024, the teams and arbitrators were tasked with resolving a conflict arising from the distribution of profits within the company and untangling the web of business interests of the parties involved in the corporate contract.

More than 50 teams from different regions of Russia participated in the Mozolin Moot Court, including teams from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm, Yekaterinburg, Irkutsk, Kazan, Crimea, and Saratov. As last year, students from Belarus also took part in the Moot Court. In total, the Mozolin Moot Court brought together over 300 students and 180 arbitrators.

In September, the preliminary rounds of the Mozolin Moot Court were held. This year, for the first time, the in-person preliminary rounds took place at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA). Participation in the preliminary rounds allowed teams to perform before the qualifying rounds of the Moot Court, and the winners of the preliminary rounds received five additional points.
