ABSTRACT
Moot court, or simulated Supreme Court argument, is a flexible, challenging exercise that provides students an opportunity to learn both substantive law and legal reasoning, all while improving their public speaking skills. Moot court is almost universal in law schools, and is very common in undergraduate constitutional law programs; but it can be used in a much broader array of courses. This chapter discusses how to incorporate a moot court simulation into an introductory law course, including why to do a moot court; how to design the problem; and suggestions and cautions for properly assessing student performance.
