Mooting

Sharpen your advocacy skills and prepare for the courtroom

As an undergraduate student, you are invited to join in legal advocacy competitions as an extra-curricular activity.  Moot competitions are a tradition in law schools – they provide the opportunity for you to learn from experienced legal professionals and bring out the best advocate in you.

As a mooter, you will join a team that will argue a hypothetical case on appeal in a simulated courtroom against another student team. Each team researches their case and presents written and oral submissions, with feedback and advice from your coach along the way. Other arbitral and negotiation experiences are also available to students.
