Mooting grabs a law student’s imagination perhaps like no other co-curricular activity.
Mooting is an extremely valuable, competitive exercise. It assists you in building the essential skills of research and writing, argumentation and presentation, and working in teams.
Numerous top-quality mooters end up with great internships and job offers based solely on their mooting skills.
Much more importantly, an excellent moot court competition is a path to self-improvement.
Lawctopus Law Schools offers an innovative COURSE (& Competition) which will guide you through learning the basics and the intricacies of mooting.
If you are new to mooting, this course will equip you with all the knowledge, information, skills, and experience to join and do well at different national and international moot courts.
If you have mooted previously, this course (and the competition built into it) will assist you in improving your skills.
This course includes everything regarding mooting. As part of this course, the students actually conduct a moot competition as well! You will be provided with a moot problem, be required to write a memo, receive a critique on that, and then we’ll take you through the oral rounds where you get to argue in front of a judge! And yes, you will receive feedback even during the oral rounds.
New mooters can look forward to a friendly environment. Seasoned mooters can look forward to being grilled by the judges!
Our Moot COURSE (& Competition) has been crafted and constructed by award-winning mooters from India who have won high-quality national and international moots. More significantly, they share are true enthusiasm and passion for mooting, which they would love to impart to you!
