The John H Jackson WTO Moot is the pre-eminent international trade law moot in the world. There are 5 regional rounds, from which the top 20 teams go to the WTO Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland to compete in the finals in June 2019. In 2018, the ANU team won the Asia-Pacific Regional Round and made it to the quarterfinals in Geneva.
