THE University of San Carlos (USC) in Cebu City has proven that it continues to train world-class future lawyers after its moot court team finished among the top four in the 2021 Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.
The moot team from USC’s School of Law and Governance excelled in simulated arbitration proceedings against 570 teams from nearly 100 countries that competed from across different time zones, with team member Rhomeljustein Redoble listed as one of the top 34 best oralists during the online awarding on April 18, 2021.
Chrisha Romano-Weigel and Edward Dominic Emilio teamed up with Redoble, who were coached by lawyer Daryl Bretch M. Largo and assisted by lawyer Rashid V. Pandi, in competing in what is dubbed as the “World Cup of Mooting.”
Lawyer Joan S. Largo, USC assistant vice president for academic affairs, praised the team for its “hard work, brilliance, endurance, and perseverance.”
She took pride in seeing USC “law students from this humble place in Cebu stand toe-to-toe with their peers from all over the world.”
