The team consisted of Judith Zellmer, Marie Theresa Schmid, Mähriban Aydogdyyeva, and Clariber Marisa Mamani Torrez, coached by Dr. Nicholas Mouttotos. This year's competition brought together 34 universities from across the globe, offering students an exceptional forum to develop and demonstrate their skills in legal analysis, written advocacy, and oral argumentation before distinguished panels of judges.

The University of Bremen team competed with dedication and professionalism throughout the oral phase of the competition, facing teams from Maastricht University, the National Law School of India University, the University of Barcelona, and University College Roosevelt. Out of four oral rounds, the team secured two victories demonstrating strong command of the legal issues and impressive advocacy skills before the bench. The competition tested students on complex questions of international sales law, private international law, and cross-border dispute resolution, requiring both rigorous legal preparation and the ability to perform under pressure. This year's overall winner was the University of Ljubljana, who triumphed in a highly competitive final against Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski. The final round is available in the competition’s youtube channel.
Alongside their oral performance, the team submitted a written memorial that reflected careful research, well-structured legal argumentation, and thorough engagement with the relevant authorities. The memorial formed an important part of the team's overall preparation and competitive standing.

We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided through the PAX Moot’s co-funding by the European Union, which makes this competition and the participation of teams like ours possible. Apart from that, the team's participation at PAX Moot 2026 would not have been possible without the generous financial and institutional support of the University of Bremen. The University's commitment to supporting students in pursuing opportunities of this kind — both intellectually and practically — is deeply appreciated, and this competition stands as a direct expression of Bremen's investment in the next generation of international lawyers. The team extends its sincere gratitude to the University for making this experience possible.

The University of Bremen is already looking ahead to PAX Moot 2027. Students who are interested in joining next year's team and representing the University at this prestigious competition are warmly encouraged to express their interest by contacting:
