Mooting - and more widely, advocacy - is becoming an increasingly important part of a well-rounded legal education. No other activity allows you to engage with legal issues so deeply or extensively, in both written and spoken form. Jessup is the perfect example of this; it is a pathway to personal, competitive and academic development, requiring teamwork and critical reasoning to conquer complex questions of international law.
To describe the opportunity to present the fruits of our labours to eminent international lawyers and judges of the International Court as ‘rewarding’ would be an understatement; no experience at law school will ever rival the pursuit of perfection in making submissions at both the national and international levels. If there was ever a greater opportunity to challenge yourself, and discover the type of lawyer you want to be, look no further than Jessup.
