The competition involves a fictitious case study of a conflict and participating students take part in role-plays, simulations, and moot courts to explore key elements of IHL (e.g. use of autonomous weapons, urban warfare, protection of women and children, and healthcare). Their performance is evaluated by a judging panel composed of highly experienced persons in the field of international law.

The Corn Adomnáin offers students a rich and stimulating experience that allows them to develop their understanding of IHL and its application. The competition is for those currently studying law in Ireland at any level. Students will need to form teams of three.

Multiple teams from a University/Institution can apply and we ask each Institution to rank these applications in the event that the competition is oversubscribed.
