The 18th annual DUS Moot took place from the 04.02.2026 until the 06.02.2026. We had the pleasure of welcoming 20 national and international teams to Düsseldorf for the 18th Annual DUS Moot – or little Vienna. 

With around 150 mooties and coaches participating, this year marked our largest edition to date and once again demonstrated the international spirit and academic excellence of the Vis Moot community. Across five rounds, teams impressed with outstanding advocacy, sharp analysis & true Vis Moot spirit.

We would like to especially honor the following participants for their outstanding achievements at the Pre-Moot:

Best Team Orals

Best Team Orals:	University of Freiburg
1st Runner Up:	University of Mainz
2nd Runner Up:	University of Düsseldorf

Best Individual Speaker

Best Individual Oralist:	Franziska Leithäuser (University of Bielefeld)

2nd Runner Up:	Lilli Petirsch (University of Heidelberg)

TO OUR SPONSORS!

We would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors for making this year’s DUS Moot possible. Our primary objective is to provide a comprehensive Pre-Moot experience for as many teams as possible, while also striving to avoid imposing an attendance fee.  Without the continued support of our sponsors this event would not be possible!

The DMA would also like to express its sincere thanks to Melina Sharifipour Moghadam,Rene Degen and Eren Senyurt for the planning and organization of this event.
