WHAT'S INVOLVED IN A MOOTING COMPETITION?

A moot is a simulated appeal in a superior court, based on a mock fact scenario and judgment from a lower court. No witnesses, just good old fashioned legal argument about whether or not the lower court decision was correct.

​

Based on the facts presented you will argue your clients position in a simulated real-life court proceeding where you will compose and submit a Memorandum of Argument in the form of written submissions and participate in oral arguments using appropriate court etiquette.

​

Expect to be queried and questioned by the judges as they test you to see just how well you know your facts and the cases surrounding a particular point of law.
