Summary Statement The European Law Research Center was established in 1991 to solidify and expand Harvard Law School’s position as a leader among American universities in European legal studies. In the ensuing years, we have broadened our mandate to embrace new thinking about the structures of international governance and have strengthened our work in comparative and international economic law. Throughout, we have focused our mission on the work of younger scholars bringing new ideas and perspectives to comparative and international legal study. In 2006-2007, we sponsored an array of workshops, lectures and conferences in the fields of European law, international law, and law and development. We were pleased to host eight Visiting Researchers, as well as nine Visiting Scholars and one Fellow. We were also pleased to have Dr. Surakiart Sathirathai - the former Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, as well the ASEAN candidate for UN Secretary General in 2005-2006 - join us as a Visiting Scholar. We continued to sponsor events bringing leading legal scholars together with interested students, faculty, and other professionals here in Cambridge. The year began with a senior policy workshop on Current Developments in EU and U.S. Anti-Trust Law, organized with our sponsor Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton. The workshop considered comparative aspects of merger control and intellectual property rights and included presentations by leading officials and organizations. During the winter and spring of 2007, we sponsored a workshop and dinner series on Development and The Politics of the Global Economy.

EL APRENDIZAJE A TRAVÉS DE LA SIMULACIÓN EN EL MOOT PRACTICE: UNA ESTRATEGIA DOCENTE PARA LA MEJORA DE LA FORMACIÓN 1 JURÍDICA UNIVERSITARIA EN EL MARCO DEL EEES KATIA FACH GÓMEZ Profesora Titular de Derecho Internacional Privado de la Universidad de Zaragoza [email protected] ALEXANDRA RENGEL Profesora de Derecho Internacional en la Schiller International University, Madrid Campus. [email protected] “Men are men before they are lawyers, or physicians, or merchants, or manufacturers; and if you make them capable and sensible men, they will make themselves capable and sensible lawyers or physicians” John Stuart Mill 2. Resumen: Este artículo examina la relevancia del fenómeno del moot practice –simulación jurídica- en la formación jurídica universitaria y tiene por objetivo reflexionar sobre el grado de implantación de esta práctica en las Facultades de Derecho españolas y sobre la adecuación de su generalización en la educación legal de los estudiantes españoles. Tras exponer el origen terminológico del vocablo moot y explicitar las distintas tipologías de tribunales simulados que tienen cabida actualmente bajo esta nomenclatura genérica, se presenta la evolución histórica del moot practice en países de common law y se muestra asimismo cuáles son las competiciones moot contemporáneas más afamadas a nivel internacional. En relación con España, se describen también las –aún escasas- actividades moot que se han implantado en el país y se perfila cuáles son los elementos que caracterizan actualmente al moot practice en nuestro país. Respecto a la metodología del moot , el presente artículo explicita las fases más relevantes de estos simulacros jurídicos y las actividades que han de desarrollar los estudiantes en cada una de ellas.
