International Court of Justice

Additional Information for Justices and Advocates

Introduction:

Welcome to the American Model United Nations International Court of Justice website. On behalf of the staff, I welcome you to this year's Court, whether you are a Justice, an Advocate, or a friend of the Court. On this website you will find the basic documents that will help you prepare for your ICJ experience. Although you may not need all of the available material due to its inapplicability to you or your position, we want all the material to be available for your perusal.

In particular, please be sure to read the letter you received that describes your position (Justice or Advocate). Both the Advocates and the Justices have specialized roles to play. Also, please be sure to read both Chapter IX in the Issues at AMUN handbook and Chapter IV in the AMUN Rules and Procedures handbook. These provide the background for the cases under consideration this year and also provide detailed information on how you can best prepare for your role with the Court. They are available on the AMUN website.

Feel free to e-mail either myself or the AMUN Executive Office if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in November!

Good Luck,

Collin Bockman
Director, AMUN International Court of Justice
