Indonesians shine in Jessup contest

NEW YORK: Indonesia, represented by the University of
Indonesia's law school, improved its ranking in the Philip C.
Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition (The Jessup
Competition) in the United States capital of Washington D.C.
recently.

Dede Fikry, Haghia Sophia Lubis, Leonardo Bernard, Sari Aziz
and Dewi Savitri Reni were ranked 24th out of hundreds of
participants worldwide.

The Jessup Competition is a role-playing competition where the
participants must act as the judges of an International Court to
solve global disputes and problems.

Indonesia sent representatives for the first time in 2001 to
the competition, which uses English as its medium. Last year,
Indonesia finished 58th. -- Antara
