ABSTRACT
Verbal reasoning is a key transferable skill, which can be used in numerous situations; you could be giving a presentation in class, putting yourself across well at an interview, networking, or in a formal setting taking the form of a debate or moot competition. Tutorials are the perfect environment to allow people to engage in discussion and debate with your fellow students and your lecturer. Aside from engaging in daily verbal reasoning in tutorials, competing in moot competitions is the most effective way to improve your verbal reasoning skills. A moot is a fictitious case, which is being appealed and will be heard in an appellate court. With regard to networking; moots are presided over by a moot judge - a role played generally by a barrister, a solicitor, a law academic or sometimes by an actual judge. Undergraduate students in London have the great London Universities Moot Shield (LUMS) to get involved with.
