The Düsseldorf Jessup team will start preparation for the German national rounds with a trip to Boston. In Boston, the team members will engage in practice rounds at Boston University and at Suffolk University, with which the Düsseldorf Law Faculty is finalizing an  exchange program that will inter alia permit selected Düsseldorf students to obtain scholarships to Suffolk’s LL.M. program. The special agreement was negotiated by Prof. Stephen C. Hicks, Director of Graduate Law Programs at Suffolk.

The team will be accompanied by their coach, Michael Vetter, Lars Wildhagen (Director of the Friends of the Faculty) and Prof. Alexander Lorz.

As was the case last year, the Düsseldorf moot court team will be invited to Harvard Club by the renowned Prof. Rusty Park of Boston University. Many thanks to Profs. Hicks and Park for these wonderful opportunities!
