Jessup Judges
The Jessup Competition is judged by an elite corps of volunteer attorneys. Judges are needed at all levels of the Competition (National, Friendly, and International) to evaluate and score the written and oral pleadings of the competitors. In most jurisdictions, study or practice in the field of international law, or prior experience in the Jessup Competition, is preferred, but not required.
Feel free to email [email protected] with any questions.
Judge Registration
If you are new to judging the Jessup, then you will need to create a new account. Once you have created an account, please register your preferences as soon as possible.
If you are interested in judging Jessup 2024, we encourage new and returning judges to begin registering their preferences in the Fall of every year.
If you register your interest in judging National and Friendly Rounds, we will share your contact information with the National Administrators in the locations in which you indicated your interest in judging. The National Administrators will be communicating with and scheduling judges for National Rounds.
