Best Advocate General in the European Law Moot Court Competition – Another Victory for Leiden Law School
Moritz Jesse holds a Jean Monnet Chair at the Europa Institute Leiden. His Jean Monnet Project deals with Migration, Integration, and Non-Discrimination in the EU [MIND EU]. The project researches and provides bachelor and master level courses on how, from the perspective of the Law, migration, inclusion, and non-discrimination are dealt with by the EU and its Member States. Moritz is also the director of the LL.M. on Governance of Migration and Diversity [GMD] offerd at Leiden Law School. This LL.M. is embedded in the multidisciplinary masters organized by the Centre of Migration and Diversity, a cooperation of the Universities of Leiden, Delft, and Erasmus Rotterdam.
Moritz joined Leiden Law School in October 2010. His teaching and research focuses on (EU) migration law, (EU) non-discrimination law, the EU’s internal market including free movement of persons and European Citizenship. In 2014/2015 Moritz was awarded the NWO VENI research grant for his project “The ‘Others’ amongst ‘Us’ – Western societies, otherness, and the law”. The project focused on the junction of regulation of immigration and identity politics.
Moritz obtained his PhD in European Union Law at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. His thesis and first monograph bears the title “The Civic Citizens of Europe – Legal Realities for Immigrants in Europe and the Legal Potential for their Integration”. The work analyses the law of the EU, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom with regard to its influence on the integration of immigrants.
Moritz represents Leiden Law School in the management board of the GMD centre. He is a board member of the Dutch Association for Migration Research (DAMR), and member of the editorial boars of Springer’s Studies in European Economic Law and Regulation book series. He regularly volunteers to serve as judge at the international rounds of the Jessup International Law Moot Court. He also coached Leiden Law Schools’ successful teams in the European Law Moot Court Competition [ELMC].
Moritz studied Dutch, Comparative, International and European Law at the University of Maastricht’s European Law School between 2002 and 2006.
