ARAB COURT OF JUSTICE
The Arab Court of Justice (ACJ) is a unique experience for new and experienced
delegates to the Model Arab League. Updated rules of procedure for the Court will be found in the upcoming 2008 MAL Handbook.
The ACJ will convene at the Northeast, Southeast, and National University Models in 2007-2008. Every delegate assigned to the Court will present arguments as an Advocate for one of the five cases (this includes drafting and submitting a Memorial or Counter-Memorial before the Model), and sit as a Justice on the Bench to hear, deliberate, and help draft Opinions on the other four cases.
Student must apply to participate in the ACJ, the National Council will assign particular individuals to each case based on their qualifications. Students participate in the ACJ apart and in place of representing their school's delegation on a Council at the Model Arab League.
Students can apply for the ACJ as a single individual or as a pair of students. A single individual will be the sole Advocate for his assigned country's case, and serve as a Justice for each of the other four cases. A pair of students will both serve as Advocates for their assigned country's case, but only one can serve as a speaking and voting Justice on each of the other four cases (the other individual is welcome to provide support to the Justice but cannot participate in the proceedings for that case, pairs are welcome to swap Justice roles for different cases). Pairs should apply separately but clearly indicate they wish to work as a team on their application.
