The competition was hosted by CLDP in coordination with the Bahrain Center of Disputes & Resolutions, the Royal University for Women, Mena Chambers & the University of Pittsburg, bringing together student teams from across the region to compete.

Global's Managing Partner Ali Al Hashimi and Legal Consultant Hana Al Khatib sat as moot arbitrators during the competition and offered encouragement and advice to the students participating.

As a student, Hana had been part of the first team from the University of Jordan to compete in the competition and her participation was heralded as an inspiration to the students - from “mootee” to law graduate to being moot arbitrator.
