Description
A must-read for students involved in mooting, this new edition of Jeffrey Hill's textbook has been fully updated and revised, and provides students with clear and compelling advice on every aspect of mooting.
The book covers:
- key aspects of the legal system;
- the way in which moots are assessed;
- what the judges are looking for;
- how to structure a legal argument; and
- how to prepare a skeleton argument and bundles.
The text is accompanied by a companion website with videos of Supreme Court hearings so that students can learn from, and emulate, the advocacy skills of some of the most eminent advocates and lawyers:

An excellent book providing good direction to students preparing for mooting activity - both practically and conceptually and clearly written and outlined.
Dr Alpa Parmar, University of Oxford

There are many things this book does exceptionally well but two stand out: first, it is comprehensive without being over long; second, it is very accessible.

A 'one stop' shop source of information for everything a student needs to know about mooting.

This is a really useful handbook to both introduce students to the concept of mooting and to help them consolidate their spoken and debating skills … it's an absolute de-mystifier!
