Global law firm White & Case LLP announced its sponsorship of 12 Jessup competitions as part of the 52nd annual Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. 

The Firm’s sponsorship includes competitions in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Georgia, Poland, Russia, South Africa and the United Kingdom, as well as the US Mid-Atlantic Regional and the White & Case International Rounds.
