At the end of last year, HSE University invited several leading higher education organizations of the BRICS countries to bring together efforts to develop legal science and practice for the benefit of BRICS and join the Consortium of BRICS Law Schools. The initiative to create the Consortium was launched by Vadim Vinogradov, the Dean of the Faculty of Law.

The qualifying oral rounds took place from 25 to 26 November 2023, and already on 23 and 24 December the semi-final and final rounds of the EAEU Dispute Resolution international competition were held.

The HSE Faculty of Law team has successfully taken part in the Russian rounds of the prestigious competition in international law named after F. Jessup (International Law Philip C. Jessup Moot Court Competition), held from February 1 to 5 in in-person format.

A monograph ‘Sovereign Immunity Under Pressure. Norms, Values and Interests’ has been published by 'Springer' on January, 21 . Two professors of the HSE Faculty of Law – Vladislav Starzhenetsky and Vera Rusinova– co-edited the book together with Professors Regis Bismuth (SciencePo) and Geir Ulfstein (PluriCourts, University of Copenhagen). The book is written by a unique team of authors representing all main legal systems of the world.

HSE’s memorials at the Jessup rank among the top 10 internationally for the third year in a row.
