Apply to judge
Academics, practising lawyers and arbitrators are invited to sit as the tribunal of the first edition. Applications close on 30 November 2026, 23:59 Tashkent time.
What judges do
- Mark memorials anonymously and online, from the 15 December 2026 deadline.
- Sit as the tribunal in the oral rounds, in person in Tashkent, on 15 and 16 January 2027. The Final is on 17 January.
- Question counsel and score each round against the published evaluation criteria.
Judges serve on a voluntary basis. The Organising Committee confirms each judge and decides which rounds they sit in and how many memorials they mark. Confirmed judges receive the judging guidelines, the evaluation criteria and a short briefing before the competition.
A judge with any connection to a team, one of its members or its coach tells the Organising Committee in advance and does not judge that team.
