About Moot Court

Moot court is one of the most productive activities for law students. The proceedings in a moot court mirror real-life court proceedings. The purpose of the activity is to help law students understand how real courts work and their proper code of conduct, the importance of dress code, and the use of formal language. Mooting is a great way to develop one’s confidence, speaking, writing skills, and research acumen. Participating in moot courts is not just great for budding advocates but also for future Judges and arbitrators. Most universities hold inter-college or intra-college mooting sessions which gives students a chance to create a network and work with their future competitors.

A moot court is a replica of real court proceedings. The purpose of moot court competitions is to make students aware of the court proceedings related to disputes between parties. These competitions are organized mostly in law schools for students who wish to pursue their careers as Lawyers, Judges, and Arbitrators. This practice helps in the development of legal skills, research acumen, and speaking skills. The process of mooting is not the same as public speaking or debating, moot courts are more interactive in nature and there is a scope for cross-questioning.
