At US competition, Iranian law students 'surprised' by reception
With the visa ban on hold, a moot court competition brought seven Iranian law students to Washington to debate topical issues, sharpen their skills and meet real Americans.
WASHINGTON — For seven young Iranians participating in an international moot court competition April 9-15 in Washington, success consisted of simply getting here.
Even though their team didn’t make it into the finals, the Iranians — five who made arguments, a coach and one former participant who served as a judge — told Al-Monitor they were thrilled just to have gotten visas.
