CONCOURS PICTET/PICTET COMPETITION
2014 NYU TEAM
NYU School of Law will select one team of three law students to compete in the 2014
Jean-Pictet Competition which is expected to be held in Sintra, Portugal, from March 1
to March 8, 2014. It will be the responsibility of the NYU Team to apply for admission to
the Competition; work with the Hauser Global Law School Program for funding needs;
prepare for the Competition; and otherwise organize itself.
Students should consult the Competition website before completing this application;
please include only information relevant to the Competition in the application. See
http://www.concourspictet.org/index_en.htm. It should be noted that selection for the
NYU Team does not guarantee participation in the Competition; the Team must
complete a separate, substantive application for submission to the Pictet organizers,
who ultimately decide which teams are invited to compete.
Students wishing to be considered for inclusion on the NYU team should complete the
attached application cover sheet with relevant documents, and e-mail a complete copy
in one PDF document to tish.armstrong@nyu.edu by 12 noon on Monday, September
30. (Please put “Jean-Pictet NYU Team Application” in the subject line.) Late
applications will not be accepted.
After a review of the applications, finalists will be selected and interviewed during the
week of October 7, with selection of the members of the NYU Team thereafter.
Please contact Tish Armstrong at the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice with any
questions about the application or the process: tish.armstrong@nyu.edu.
