Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court (FIAMC) is one of the oldest and most prestigious moot court competitions in the field of international investment arbitration. The competition questions combine investment protection law with real historical events and are famous in the industry for the complexity of the factual background and the difficulty of legal analysis. This session takes the "Black Tom Island bombing" in the United States during World War I as the historical background and covers as many as 9 core legal disputes. Before the start of each game, the organizer randomly determines three core controversial points for competition, which places high demands on the debaters' breadth of knowledge reserve, on-the-spot adaptability and stress-resistant psychological quality.
The current International w88 casino delegation is composed of Chen Tianqi (captain) and Wang Yiting (vice president), 2024 students of the undergraduate "Experimental Class for Outstanding Foreign-related Economic and w88 Legal Talents" ("Excellent Experimental Class") Captain) and Lu Zican, a 2023 undergraduate student with a double bachelor’s degree in data and law, served as the main debaters. Huang Junhan and Yang Fuzi, a 2024 law undergraduate student, and Wu Qingyu, a 2025 excellent experimental class student, served as researchers. The student coaching team consists of Qi Hetong and Yu Xinhui, 2025 international law master’s students, and Zhang Yingxuan, a 2022 excellent experimental class student.

After three rounds of fierce debate, it stood out from 39 teams and ranked third in the country in terms of total points. It successfully locked in the semi-finals and successfully advanced to the international competition.
In the semi-finals, the University of w88 and Economic Cooperation faced the Fudan University team (runner-up in the previous domestic competition). Facing strong opponents and a high-pressure competition environment, Chen Tianqi and Wang Yiting were calm, well-argued, and well-organized. They won high recognition from all the judges with their mature and stable performance, and successfully advanced to the finals to face the Peking University team.
In the final stage, Chen Tianqi and Lu Zican made clear arguments, fully explained and argued forcefully, demonstrating their profound professionalism and meticulous and comprehensive research skills. The opposing team’s court argument style was mature and their expressions were relaxed and smooth. After fierce competition, the USIM team finally won the national runner-up. Chen Tianqi won the only title of "Best Debator in the Final" with his outstanding performance throughout the game.
The pioneering achievements of the International w88 Law Team in the FIAMC domestic competition are inseparable from w88 casino’s long-term support for the international mock court competition, as well as the tradition of helping, guiding and supporting the Moot Court culture of the University of International w88 and Economics. Professor Chi Manjiao gave careful guidance in professional training. Barrister Lai Yixuan of Des Voeux Law Firm in Hong Kong coordinated and brought together barristers such as Wu Jiaxin, Liu Zhuoqi, Luo Junpei, He Shuying and lawyer Guo Lite to carefully guide this year's court defense training.(Written by: w88 casino 2026 FIAMC Team Reviewed by: Gong Hongliu)
