International and European Tax Moot Court

The International & European Tax Moot Court competition, organized by the Institute of Tax Law of KU Leuven and the IBFD in cooperation with Deloitte, is a direct response to this challenge of globalization. Our main goal is to allow students from around the world, specializing in taxation, to sharpen their skills of oral presentation and written argumentation in a competitive international environment. We aim to incorporate this competition as a regular fixture of all major international tax programmes, so that participants obtain academic credit for their achievements in their home universities.

This International & European Tax Moot Court is a unique learning experience. Participants will receive feedback on their memoranda from professors, judges and lawyers with a worldwide reputation in taxation. They will work with judges at the highest courts during the oral pleading sessions. During a week they will participate in an intense sharing of knowledge, experience and a huge variety of human contacts in the hallowed environment of an international academic community. Is this program for you? There is only one way to find out: take the plunge and join the club.
