ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book deals with a range of preliminary issues and covers an introduction to mooting and key aspects of the English legal system, with specific emphasis on how it relates to mooting. It also deals with oral submissions. This is arguably the most important part of the moot, and it is often said that a good performance on the day will go a long way to winning the moot. The book sets out a number of moot problems covering a range of different law subjects. It provides a host of useful resources that will prove invaluable to any serious mooter or mooting organiser. A moot is an argument on points of law that aims to simulate an appeal court hearing before a judge or panel of judges. Mooting is one of the original forms of legal education.
