Each year, the International Institute of Space Law organises the Asia Pacific Regional Rounds of the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition. The Asia Pacific Regional Rounds have been held annually since 2000 and have always been the largest region in the Lachs Moot.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (I.S.R.O.) organise and fund the annual Indian National Funding Rounds in India to assist teams to compete in the Asia Pacific Regional Round each year.
The 2010 Asia Pacific Regional Rounds will be held in Sydney, Australia. In addition to the Alexis Goh Memorial Trophy for the Regional Champions, awards are also given for the Best Memorials, Best Oralist of the Preliminary Rounds and Best Oralist of the Final Rounds. Since 2006, the Judge Vereshchetin Award is presented to an individual who has contributed substantially over the years to the success of the Asia Pacific Regional Rounds, and the Final Frontier Award is presented to a team that, in the opinion of the Regional Organiser, best embodies the spirit of the Lachs Moot in the Asia Pacific Regional Rounds.
The regional winner will compete at the world finals to be held in October 2010 in Prague, Czech Republic.
