Moot Court Training
Full course description
A moot court is a simulated court session, for which teams of students, first, prepare written pleadings with respect to a legal problem and, second, present their arguments in oral proceedings before a mock court. The course is based on fictitious cases involving issues of international law, ECHR, and European Union law.
Course objectives
The course is intended to train students’ written and oral communication skills in the form of written and oral pleadings. Students will be required to apply the law to the facts of a particular case and to argue in favour of their client. This course is also designed to develop students’ ability to work as part of a team.
Prerequisites
This course is part of the programme of the second year of European Law School. It is not available for students not registered in the European Law School programme.
