Meet our first Mootie: Chiara Bender ⚖️✨
The Vis Moot Court is not a sprint, but a marathon. Through running, I’ve learned how to pace myself, stay focused even when facing headwinds, and successfully cross the finish
line in the end. My name is Chiara Bender, and I’m currently in my fourth semester studying law at the University of Jena. During my studies, I’ve discovered that my particular strength lies in in-depth research. This skill has helped me not only in my studies but also in my part-time job as a student employee at a leading, globally active technology and photonics corporation in the Compliance & Risk Management department, where I regularly deal with
new laws and guidelines as well as their potential impact on the company. This helps me quickly familiarize myself with new subject areas and precisely analyze legal contexts. I
intend to bring these skills to the Vis Moot Court and further develop them together with my team members. Participating in the competition offers me an exciting opportunity to
develop a deeper understanding of international sales law and arbitration while gaining experience in legal research, drafting briefs, and oral arguments. I look forward to working
with a dedicated team and further developing both my personal and legal skills throughout the competition.
