Who may be a Team Advisor (coach or faculty advisor)?
A team advisor is anyone who is responsible for organizing, advising, or training a Jessup team, such as coaches and faculty advisors. Anyone may act as a team advisor, including professors, lawyers, graduate students, and former Jessup Competitors. Team advisors are allowed to provide general advice and instruction regarding the basic principles of international law, but they are prohibited from doing any work for the team. Jessup teams are not required to have a team advisor, and as a general rule a team should not have more team advisors than necessary to adequately prepare them for fair competition. For more information, please see the Official Rules, which are released each August.
