The IEMCC The annual International Environmental Moot Court Competition (IEMCC) held at Stetson University near Tampa, Florida, is the most prestigious international environmental law moot court competition in the world. Soongsil University is Stetson's new partner in bringing the prestigious IEMCC to East Asia. (http://www.law.stetson.edu/international/iemcc/) Every year the IEMCC raises exciting international environmental law issues, bringing awareness and educational opportunities to law students around the world. This year's competition focuses on trans-boundary pollution and the preservation of endangered species. The IEMCC provides an excellent educational opportunity. Students will have the opportunity to perform legal research in international law, to write formal legal memorials, and to present adversarial oral arguments in competition. Stetson and Soongsil are united in their hopes to improve access to learning and moot experiences by bringing the IEMCC to Seoul. They hope this location in the heart of East Asia will make travel and other costs more affordable for students from East Asia. Soongsil and Stetson hope that by bringing students from all over East Asia together to discuss these important environmental legal issues that a partnership can be built for a future greener East Asia. Soongsil is also inviting professors of environmental law to come and share their research at a conference held during the East Asia Regional week of competition.
