Konrad Paul Niedeggen, Isa Wenxi Große-Ruyken, Carina Danisch, Silvie Kleinwächter, Sandra Werther (coach)
Carina Danisch

Carina Danisch is a fifth-semester law student at the University of Bonn and a student assistant at the Chair of German and European Constitutional and Administrative Law under Prof. Dr. Heiko Sauer. She gained international experience through a voluntary service at the Goethe-Institut Brussels and recently interned at the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf. Alongside her studies, Carina actively engages in ELSA Bonn, the UNICEF University Group, and contributes as an Editorial Member of the Bonner Rechtsjournal. Driven by the considerable significance of global conflicts, she views participating in the Jessup Moot Court as a unique opportunity to obtain practical international law experience and work together with a motivated team.
Isa Wenxi Große-Ruyken

Isa Wenxi Große-Ruyken is 20 years old and currently studying law in her sixth semester at the University of Bonn. She grew up in Shanghai, a very multicultural environment, participating in Model United Nations for multiple years and doing internships at international law firms while in school. She has always held a great interest in international conflict resolution, and it was clear to her that she wanted to pursue law, to evaluate different interests, values and rights from a more structured point of view. The Jessup Moot Court is to her the perfect opportunity to pursue this further, exchange ideas, and learn to represent party interests in peaceful resolution.
Silvie Kleinwächter

Silvie Kleinwächter is a fifth-semester law student at the University of Bonn. She works as a student assistant at the Chair of Prof. Dr. Christian Hillgruber, where she gained valuable experience in legal research. Her voluntary service in Greece in the field of refugee aid deepened her interest in international relations and human rights, turning it into a true passion. As a member of this year’s Jessup Team, she looks forward to engaging with like-minded peers and expanding her knowledge of public international law. She views the Jessup Moot Court as an outstanding opportunity for academic and professional development as well as personal growth.
Konrad Paul Niedeggen

Konrad Paul Niedeggen is 21 years old and studying law in his fifth semester at the University of Bonn. To enhance his academic studies, he pursues specialised language training (UNIcert® Level III), elevating his legal English skills. This year, he published his criminal law intermediate examination solution in the Bonner Rechtsjournal. Engagement with European and international court decisions at 2 BAdvice GmbH deepened his knowledge of international law. An internship at the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf offered further practical experience. His interest in Moot Courts reflects his strong commitment to teamwork and advocacy, with the Jessup Moot offering an opportunity to refine skills for a future career in international law.
The Jessup 2026 Problem will present the following issues:
(1) Who has the right to intervene in proceedings before the International Court of Justice?
(2) What are the rights of indigenous peoples relating to rare earth minerals found in their land?
(3) What are “the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations”? and
(4) When is a state immune from the domestic jurisdiction of another state when it has caused economic harm to citizens of that state?
