When starting out, mooting can be a bewildering art. Many students feel that they need some extra guidance and practice in order to enter competitions. As such, the Inner Temple Mooting Society provides opportunities for members to develop their advocacy and legal research skills in a supportive and relaxed environment. This year, our October, November and January training sessions introduced over 100 novice students to the basics of mooting. Sessions included ‘An Introduction to Mooting’, ‘Legal Research for Beginners’ and ‘Oral Presentation Tips’. Students have appreciated the opportunity to practise their oral and written advocacy skills in an informal setting, and receive detailed feedback from junior barristers, KCs and Benchers.

If you wish to participate in future novice training sessions from September 2023, follow our Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram pages to stay up to date with sign-up details. In the meantime we will be running more advanced specific sessions - so please keep an eye on our social media.
