The Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition is organised every year by the International Law Students Association in Washington, D.C., USA and is supported by the American Society of International Law and the law firm White & Case.  It was organised for the first time in 1960 at Harvard University under the name International Law Moot Court. Later it was renamed honouring Philip C. Jessup, esteemed diplomat and scholar, who served as a Judge at the International Court of Justice from 1961 until 1970.

Nowadays, it is the biggest and most important international law competition for students, in which the biggest and most esteemed universities participate.

Participation in the competition requires the submission of two written memorials to ILSA and oral argument before three-judges panels who consist of international law professors and practitioners. including the former President of the ICJ, Dame Rosalyn Higgins and other Judges, such as Brunno Simma, Hisashi Owada and others such as Professor James Crawford, James Carter, former ASIL President and many others. The International Rounds take place in Washington, D.C., USA and more than 500 teams from more than 90 States Participate.

Since 2008 they have been organised in Greece with the co-operation of the participating teams and ILSA (Athens).
