This past weekend, Jessica Allen judged the Semi-Final and Final of the North American Regional Round of the 30th Annual Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition hosted by the University of Chicago, Illinois.
The Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition was established in 1996 and is organised each year by the Institute of Biodiversity Law and Policy of Stetson University, Florida. It brings law students across the globe together to contemplate contemporary issues in international environmental law.
The theme of this year’s competition is de-extinction, rewilding and benefit sharing under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol. Jessica has a broad environmental law practice and was the lead author on the article ‘De-extinction, environmental regulation and nature conservation’ which explored the implications of the de-extinction of species on nature conservation frameworks in the EU and the US ((2020) 32(2) JEL 309).

Good luck to those progressing to the next rounds!
