The Australian Jessup Moot controversy of 2013 was a series of events affecting the results of the Australian round of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. The incident involved a series of scoring errors which rendered erroneous the declaration that the University of Sydney had won the competition, and resulted in the administrators sending additional teams to compete in the international round in Washington, DC.〔(Survive Law blog, 19 March 2013 )〕〔(Letter from the Executive Director of ILSA to Australian teams, 20 February 2013 )〕 ==Errors in scoring== On 6 February 2013, the team from Murdoch University was informed by the competition administrators that the team had progressed to the quarter-finals. The team from the University of New South Wales was informed that the team had not broken into the quarter-finals. The next morning on 7 February 2013, the day of the quarter-finals, the UNSW team was told that there had been a scoring error, and in fact the team from UNSW should have been placed in the quarter-finals, seeded eighth (although it was subsequently discovered it should have been seeded fourth).〔(Letter from the Executive Director of ILSA to Australian teams, 20 February 2013 )〕 The team from Murdoch was told that in fact it had not progressed to the quarter-finals, and was knocked-out of the competition.〔(University of Queensland Jessup Moot Team Newsletter, February 2013 )〕〔(Survive Law blog, 19 March 2013 )〕〔(Letter from the Executive Director of ILSA to Australian teams, 20 February 2013 )〕 On the afternoon of 7 February 2013, despite short notice and not having had the benefit of the previous day to prepare, the team from UNSW competed in a quarter-final moot against the team from the University of Sydney. Two of the three judges awarded the moot to UNSW, but the third judge awarded the moot to Sydney by one mark. However, because Sydney had a higher memorial score (it was then thought), pursuant to the Jessup rules Sydney won the moot. Sydney then progressed to the semi-final round against the team from the University of Melbourne. The semi finals took place on 8 February 2013. In its semi-final moot, the team from the University of Sydney beat the team from Melbourne, sending Sydney to the grand final. In the other semi-final, the team from Bond University won against the team from the University of Western Australia. This sent Bond to the grand final. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Jessup Moot controversy of 2013」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
