Three Crowns is proud to have sponsored the Harvard Law School team’s participation in this year’s Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, the world’s largest and oldest international law moot court. The 2026 iteration brought together over 800 teams globally to advocate in a fictional dispute before the International Court of Justice.
The HLS team claimed the US national championship in February, competing against a record 92 teams. At the international rounds in Washington, DC, they advanced to the elimination stages among 173 qualifying teams, earning the Best Respondent Team award and, for the second consecutive year, the prestigious Richard R. Baxter Award for the top written memorials worldwide.
Reflecting on the experience, team member Yasna Haghdoost shared:
“To say that Jessup has been a large part of my international law journey for the past two years would be an understatement. Having the support and sponsorship of Three Crowns through this journey meant a great deal. It helped us to participate in the international rounds, where we won some awards that I’m incredibly proud of.”
Congratulations to team members Abigail Judge, Riya Jain, Luciano Kwon, Yasna Haghdoost, and Dania Alqarawi, and to coaches Omid Yeganeh, Luca Geary, and Michael McArdle on this remarkable achievement.
