“When I first joined, I’d never mooted before and found the whole idea intimidating, but the society made it completely accessible. The taster sessions, weekly training and competitions created such a supportive space to learn. The committee broke down complex advocacy skills into something manageable and fun, and the workshops with practising barristers were a huge confidence boost. From crash courses to the check‑in programme, I developed a strong foundation in advocacy.”
Best society for mooting
We started the academic year off with a goal: to ensure mooting is accessible to all regardless of status, finances or experience. Our external team auditions were opened to all students with just one grading criteria: potential. This was a strategic step to develop confidence among members and, as a result, the majority of the mooting team is made up of first-year students.
