Mooting
Mooting is the art of presenting a legal argument to a Judge in a mock court case; in a moot teams of students act as advocates and represent opposing parties in the case.
The University of Nottingham Mooting Society runs two internal Mooting competitions each year, enters external competitions against Universities from around the world, provides the necessary training to its members and holds 'friendly' moots and other events throughout the year.
We aim to equip our members with skills, such as an ability to speak in public and carry out legal research, that will be useful tools in their future careers, in a stimulating way, as well as providing opportunities for them to talk to and receive advice from members of the legal profession over refreshments paid for by us.
Our internal competition winners also receive generous CASH PRIZES and a mini-pupillage is offered, courtesy of Ropewalk Chambers, to the winner of the second/third year Mooting competition.
