The International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot (IMLAM) involves a dispute relating to commercial maritime law and the controversy is determined before an arbitral tribunal. Students need not have previously studied maritime law (though it is an advantage) and in fact, several past winning teams have had no prior knowledge of maritime law before undertaking the moot. The moot is exceptionally well supported by the maritime industry and maritime law firms. The competition enables students to forge contacts with students from other law schools and meet with senior members of the profession and the maritime industry.

The 2025 IMLAM Competition will be hosted in person by The University of Sydney Law School between the 6th and 11th July 2025.

Applications for the 2025 competition have now closed.

Please note that trials and interviews will be conducted in person, where possible.

Note: Students may apply to more than one moot without prejudice to their applications. For those students applying for more than one international moot, please email your preferences to mooting@law.uq.edu.au for consideration.

Students interested in applying should upload the following documents:

  • Curriculum Vitae (no more than two pages)
  • An expression of interest explaining their motivation for applying (one page)
  • Academic transcript
  1. Competitors will need to ensure they are available to travel to Sydney in July to attend the competition
  2. The Law School will cover the cost of accommodation in Sydney, for the duration of the competition

Students participating in IMLAM will be automatically eligible for 2# of course credit.

Applications for the 2025 competition have now closed.
