Moot Courts and Legal Clinics
Each year, students of the Faculty of Law and Criminology participate in a range of national and international moot court competitions. This page provides an overview of the competitions, teams and relevant information.
Why participate in a moot court?
Moot courts are simulated legal proceedings in which students work on complex legal cases and present written and oral arguments before a panel of judges. They offer a unique opportunity to apply legal knowledge in practice and to engage with challenging legal questions beyond the classroom.
Participating in a moot court helps students develop a range of skills, including legal research, legal writing, oral advocacy, teamwork and critical thinking. Students work closely with fellow team members, academic coaches and legal practitioners, gaining valuable experience in an international and competitive environment.
Many former participants have gone on to pursue careers in legal practice, academia, international organisations and public institutions.
Below, you will find more information about the moot court competitions in which the Faculty of Law and Criminology participates.
