Mooting: An Introduction to Mock Trials

from £78.00

What is Mooting?

A moot is a contest in which opposing pairs of counsel argue a fictitious appeal case in front of a ‘judge’ (normally a lecturer or postgraduate student). To win, you do not necessarily have to win the legal case, but must make the best presentation of your legal arguments. Moot problems are typically set in areas of law that are unsettled or that have been subject to recent developments. They usually involve two grounds of appeal, argued by each side.

Why practise mooting?

Mooting or ‘mock trials’ is one of the quickest and most effective ways for you to develop the competencies you need to be a successful lawyer. It is useful for developing legal skills of research, analysis and interpretation, but also personal skills of argument and public speaking. Most importantly, it is great fun!

MU Law Experts

Many of MU’s mentors are experienced with mooting, have undertaken contests throughout school and university and are well-placed to enable you to develop your analytical, advocacy and communication skills.

  • Host: Emma graduated from Oxford University in 2017, in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. She then graduated from City, University of London, with a Distinction in her Graduate Diploma in Law, and is training to become a barrister. Alongside her own success in mooting competitions, Emma has attended a mooting workshop run by a high end London barristers' chambers (4 New Square), both of which aid her in teaching mooting to prospective lawyers.

  • Duration: Suggested 1-2 hours, dependent on the level of detail desired. Multiple sessions could be undertake should the student wish to have further practice. 10th session free!
