Mooting Workshops

Workshops are held every Monday and Tuesday form 5:30-6:30 in the Moot Court (CBC 2.038 - Feel free to look on our Instagram for directions or to reach out to one of us if you get lost)

What is Mooting?

Mooting is a mock court scenario in which the participants will represent one of the parties involved in a fictional legal case. It usually takes place at an appellate level, meaning the facts have already been established, and your role as a participant is to prepare and present arguments based on points of law and to answer any question you should receive from a judge during your submissions.

What do we do?

We hold regular workshops designed to teach the basics of mooting and to help build our members confidence around public speaking and participating in moots  (competitions). You will also get the opportunity to take place in competitions we’re organising, attend talks with professional speakers, and semi-regular socials.

I don’t want to be a barrister/I’m not a law student, should I still join?

Of course! Even if your main focus isn’t developing your advocacy skills mooting can still provide a valuable space to work on your research skills, learn about legal systems and processes and to meet some of your fellow students.

What if I don’t feel comfortable with public speaking?

That is completely fine. You may be intending to learn about the law or legal processes through mooting, or you may be working on building up the confidence to participate in a moot, either way there will never be any pressure to speak in front of people where you don’t feel comfortable.

If you are looking to build your confidence, we are hosting a workshop on public speaking and we plan to hold semi-regular, casual moots with no judges present.
