Background to the Programme
The QUB School of Law Mooting Programme involves undergraduate and postgraduate law students in the exercise of arguing disputed points of law against an opposing counsel and before a judge. It is perhaps the closest experience that a student can have whilst at university to appearing in court. Mooting involves a number of skills, including legal research, the drafting of written arguments, and oral presentation. In recent years, teams from the School have performed with distinction in external mooting competitions, and we also have a raft of competitive and training activities within the School. Our overall aims are to develop students’ skills in legal research and legal argument and to maintain and build up the reputation of the School in mooting skills.
