Mooting is a mock court competition where students argue a fictional legal case before a judge, or panel of judges. Working in teams of 2-4, you'll research the law, prepare skeleton arguments, deliver persuasive oral submissions, and respond to judicial intervention.
If you're hoping to become a barrister, mooting is one of the best extracurriculars to get involved in from the very start of your degree. But it's not just for aspiring barristers. Whether you're planning on becoming a solicitor, exploring another legal career, or you're still deciding, mooting develops skills every employer values, including legal research, advocacy, public speaking, critical thinking, teamwork, and the ability to think on your feet. It's also a fantastic way to strengthen your CV and stand out in applications and interviews.
Early in the 2026/27 academic year, our fabulous Master and Mistress of Mooting will run workshops, practice moots, and training sessions to help everyone get started, whether you're a complete beginner or looking for a refresher. They will also be hosting debate nights and other advocacy events throughout the year, so there'll be plenty of opportunities to build your confidence, develop your skills, and get involved. If you have any questions or would like to know more about mooting, feel free to get in touch with our Master and Mistress of Mooting via the Mooting email - we're always happy to help and look forward to welcoming you!
