The Canada-United States Law Institute administers the Niagara International Moot Court Competition, an international law moot that draws fifteen to thirty teams from law schools in Canada and the United States.

Participating teams address a hypothetical dispute affecting the bi-lateral relationship before the International Court of Justice. The Institute recruits teams, promulgates rules, establishes deadlines, approves the problem, and settles disputes.

This year's competition will be held in Washington, D.C. February 23-25, 2012.

The 2011-12 Niagara Moot Court Problem,
"Case Concerning Intervention in Tangoon," focuses on the responsibilities that private, governmental, and corporate actors face regarding humanitarian intervention in times of natural disaster.
See NIMC Competition Problem.

The competition is open to all
law schools and law faculty in Canada and the United States.
