The judges of the competition are world-class specialists in the field of investment arbitration. The competition assesses both the skills of written argumentation, legal research and rhetorical skills.

According to the Jagiellonian University, in the oral finals of the competition, attended by 77 teams from all over the world, the representatives of the Jagiellonian University appeared in a total of 9 matches, in which they defeated in direct matches some of the best universities in the world, including National University of Singapore or the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.
