The University of Zurich team continued its strong performance from previous years in this year's competition. At the Vis East Moot 2024/2025 in Hong Kong, they were among the best of a total of 159 teams worldwide and received an honourable mention for the best written submission on both the claimant and respondent sides. The team continued this success at the subsequent Vis Moot 2024/2025 in Vienna, where it also received an Honourable Mention for the best written submission on the claimant side.
Their performance in the oral rounds is also worth highlighting. The team won the ASA Swiss Day, as well as the Homburger, BG-Partner and Eversheds-Sutherland Pre Moot. In Hong Kong, they ranked 34th in the oral rounds, while in Vienna they reached the Round of 64 out of 384 universities. We offer our sincere congratulations!

Triple victory for Zurich moot team
At the Vis East Moot 2023/2024 in Hong Kong, the RWF student team - out of a total of 150 teams worldwide - won first place for the best written submission on both the plaintiff and defendant side.
At the subsequent Vis Moot 2023/2024 in Vienna, our team successfully defended its first place - this time against 373 teams around the world - for the best written submission on the defendant's side.
This triple victory among hundreds of teams with the best students is cause for great joy. Although the Zurich teams can look back on a long history of success in the private law moot courts (since 2018 under the academic leadership of Prof Loacker and Prof Heiss), the triple is a remarkable first. Our warmest congratulations.
