About the Event
Lawctopus Law School is organising the Moot Course & Competition, a structured programme designed to teach both the fundamentals and advanced aspects of mooting.
Mooting is a competitive academic exercise that simulates real court proceedings. It involves legal research, drafting memorials (memos), presenting oral arguments, and responding to questions from judges. The course is designed for both beginners and experienced mooters.
Participants will learn how to:
- Understand and analyse moot problems
- Conduct effective legal research
- Draft structured and well-formatted memorials
- Present oral arguments before judges
- Develop courtroom etiquette and advocacy skills
The course also includes a live moot court competition where participants draft memorials, receive feedback, and present oral arguments before experienced judges.
Date and Venue
The programme will be conducted online, with live lectures, recorded resources, and a live online moot court competition.
