Details

The Thomson Reuters’ Guide to Mooting is an expert guide to mooting and related forms of oral and written legal advocacy, designed specifically for law students and the legal academics who guide them.  Building on decades of experience and success in national and international legal advocacy competitions, the authors guide the reader through all major forms of legal advocacy that can be undertaken within a university setting: advocacy before courts, tribunals and arbitral bodies; advocacy and alternative dispute resolution; national and international advocacy competitions.  The authors analyse and offer practical guidance on all major types of legal advocacy, reflecting on the pedagogical foundations and immense potential of this traditional and yet dynamic form of legal education.
