This elective encourages participation in the Jessup International Moot. The moot is organised by the Association of Student International Law Societies, which operates under the auspices of the American Society of International Law in Washington.

The workload involved is particularly demanding: the problems circulated are on complex and current issues of international law. Detailed research into both international and comparative law is essential to prepare complex pleadings for both sides with a maximum size prescribed. The work involved is certainly no less than that for a large research project. The memorials are assessed by memorial judges, often including distinguished teachers of international law. In addition, there is the opportunity to present oral submissions in the four preliminary rounds. The top eight teams move on to the final rounds.

Because of the rules of the Jessup Moot, no assessment is available until after the conclusion of the Australian finals of the Jessup Moot each year.
