From late January to mid-March, PRIO’s Nobuo Hayashi organised a series of oral pleading practice sessions for the competitors where they refined their skills.
On 30 April 2011, Nobuo Hayashi was named Best Judge of the semi-final rounds for the 34th Telders International Law Moot Court Competition held at the Peace Palace in The Hague.
