What is mooting, and what does our society offer?
Mooting is where participants act as barristers and argue over points of law in front of a judge. It's great for aspiring barristers or solicitors, as well as for anyone getting to grips with the law.
Legal Advocacy Training
We train our mooters to develop strong advocacy skills through our workshops and internal competitions.
Competitions for All Levels
We offer many mooting opportunities: informal/formal, external/internal, catering to all levels.
Networking and Social Events
We also regularly host external speakers and social events for you to expand your legal networks.
