About the Competition:
The Brown Mosten International Client Consultation Competition (ICCC) is a prestigious annual event that began in 1969 with Louis M. Brown’s pioneering initiative in client counselling. Recognized by the American Bar Association in 1972 and expanded internationally in 1985, the competition was renamed in 1993 to honor Brown’s legacy.
In 2026, the International Rounds will be held in Zagreb, Croatia (15–18 April 2026), focusing on the theme “Use of Land.”
The ICCC provides law students with a unique platform to sharpen interviewing and counselling skills, simulate real‑world client interactions, and engage in cross‑cultural exchange. Over the years, participants from more than 30 countries have joined, including India, Australia, Germany, England & Wales, China, and the United States.
