Synopsis

Mooting offers a comprehensive examination of mooting and advocacy, combining both theoretical and practical aspects. This definitive guide will equip you with a complete grasp of mooting from the initial preparatory stages through to advocacy in the moot itself.

The second edition has been comprehensively revised and updated, reflecting changes brought about by the evolving digital landscape, as well as addressing how mooting can benefit SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) students. Changes and updates include new ‘thinking points’ throughout the book, end-of-chapter questions to reinforce learning and understanding, a new section on how to read the book, additional material for students participating in International moots, new material on electronic bundles, and an expanded section on lawyers’ skills including more on building confidence and countering nerves.

Online video footage of an actual moot brings the practical nature of mooting alive and will give you expert advice and analysis of successful mooting technique as well as tips for improvement. Mooting is essential reading for Law students at all levels.
