It was quiet good :) this is what we got from judges. We didn't expect much from the match today since it was so tough to compete with Columbia University like them. But finally, we did it, and it's just like a miracle. The brief, the writing memo is too good enough to scare us before the match but we were just so lucky to have very lovely judges. They just keep asking questions, and looking us in eyes of ...what should i say...he think of us just a kid, and he is just smile at us all time while we proceed our speech. We know already that we couldn't win the awesome Columbia team but we are so proud enough to get a word excellent from judges. "It is very honor to die under the name of hero :) " this is what we say before the match. We will have a final match tomorrow but not my turn with Brazil the...

Q: What are you doing here? A: we're representing Cambodia to join the world largest competition of Phillip C. Jessup moot court. Q:Who does send you here? A: No one exactly, but we are making history to lead our own team to be here. In order to have USAID to lead or make project something like this they have to write a proposal which would take years, and it would not be able to happy too since they never thought that we have ability to join such a big competition like this because lack material of internation laws, professors and stuffs like that. So, he finally got what we are trying to explain him. Q: ....more questions shall be posted next time :D

DSC03217 , originally uploaded by Nearirath Sreng . Before the hearing we were so nervous but things had turn to be okay after we did a pretty good job, but we still need more time to read and do more research on new questions from judge :s so thousand more things has to do.

I'm sorry being quiet a big while since i'm so struggling with preparation and the public performance today. Big thanks to all donors who have helped, government of Cambodia, the RULE, Our coaches (Zach and Shona), Local Law Firms ( Scaiirony law firm and a law firm from Australia). Big thanks to Margareth, the school representative. Good News is that we got the hotel scholarship and the free dinner of 50th of anni. of jessup competition. We believe in Marciles that we have been started from -1000 to 100 level. Without people who has donor, help with physically and spiritually we couldn't reach to stand in the international competition of jessup moot court.
