    Tutorial 1 (answer)

    1. Briefly describe what is moot or mooting

    Mooting is the oral presentation of a legal issue or problem against an opposing counsel and
    before a judge. It is perhaps the closest experience that a student can have whilst at
    university to appear in court. The argument follows the conventions of argument used in
    real court. There are 5 or more participant in a moot which are a judge and 4 mooters in two
    teams. The hypothetical case argued in court is referred to as the moot problem which is
    devised in order to highlight particular issues of doubt in the law. The issues of doubt may
    arise from the case law or statute. They are referred to as ground of appeal. Most moot
    problems contain 2 grounds of appeal and each member of each team argues one side of
    each ground of appeal.

    Once the argument is completed then the moot judge will give a short judgement.  Mooting
    experience can have a positive impact on your future career. The legal profession is an
    increasingly difficult one to enter, and some application forms even demand that a
    candidate can provide evidence of their advocacy or mooting experience. Mooting will also
    help you to build confidence in public speaking, general research, and presentation skills,
    which are useful skills you can transfer to most careers.

    2. Briefly differentiate between Moot & Mock trial

    Mooting differs as it assumes that the evidence has already been tested and focuses on practising
    speech and the ability to argue the question of law, whereas mock trials exist to ‘test the evidence’
    and establish the case’s facts before presenting them in a real court of law. Mooting is actually a part
    of mock trial.
