Moot Court Association

What is Moot Court?

  • It is a mock court at which law students argue imaginary cases for practice. Proceedings in the Moot Court follow a set pattern of conduct which is similar to the actual courts. From language to attire, students are required to follow set norms and argue the case with zeal and enthusiasm.
  • Mooting is not the same as public speaking or debating, although it shares some common elements with these activities. It is a specialized application of the art of persuasive advocacy. It has been part of the process of training lawyers for centuries and plays an important role in legal education.
