The award recognizes the team that best exemplifies the Jessup spirit of competitiveness, friendship, sportsmanship, and professionalism.

The team received a plaque, two enormous banners signed by every team in the competition, and a cheque for 1000 USD from the International Bar Association.

Bhutan competed against teams from Moscow, China, Slovenia and Nigeria.

While in Washington, D.C, the Bhutanese team also received an audience with Senator John McCain, a senior member of the US Senate.

With more than 2,000 law students from over 600 law schools in 90 countries competing for the coveted Jessup Cup each year, the Jessup is the largest moot court competition in the world.
