The North American Regional Competition selects the winning team that will be funded to travel to the International Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition. It is held in Washington DC, at the Georgetown University Law Center, on a Friday & Saturday, usually the last weekend of March or the first weekend of April.
The Lachs Moot Calendar, available on the Lachs Moot main page, has the entire schedule for this year. The Regional competition is judged by experts in the field of space law and provides an opportunity for student teams to meet many of those judges after the competition is over.
This year the North American Regional Competition will admit teams from Latin American and Caribbean countries.

IISL Young Scholars Awards
The IISL Young Scholars Fund was created in 2011 to support the achievements of students participating in each of the four Regional Rounds of the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition. The Fund grants monetary awards in the following categories:
- Winning Team: 200 Euros
- Team with the Best Memorials: 125 Euros
- Best Oralist of the Regional Round: 100 Euros
The Young Scholars Fund has been formed and is largely maintained by donations from IISL members, to honor the very significant achievement of these students.
