Novice Moot Competition - Applications Closing Soon

Mooting

A moot is a mock trial of a legal issue. Mooting provides students with the opportunity to argue a fictional case as if representing a client. With our very own Moot Court, the School of Law takes part in national and international competitions, allowing students to meet members of the judiciary as well as giving students the chance to win mini-pupillages.



Develop Transferable Skills

Mooting is a key legal skill, but one that’s transferable to many other professions outside of the traditional legal career path. Mooting allows you to develop skills and confidence in:

• Presenting a legal argument in a court setting
• Advocacy and public speaking
• Teamwork
• Organisation
• Assimilating facts into succinct points and arguments
• Putting legal issues into context
• Legal writing and legal research
• Critical analysis

Skills gained through mooting can help to improve overall understanding and knowledge of certain areas of law useful for your academic study.

You'll work toward to SGAs and to populate your mySkills portfolio. Keeping your MySkills profile up-to-date by reflecting on your developmental experiences will really benefit you now, and in the future when applying for jobs and work placements.
