Mooting

UTS Faculty of Law supports an extensive national and international mooting program that enables students to gain an international perspective on their courses and careers. Mooting is an exciting way to gain high level courtroom skills and research experience. Moreover, the Faculty program is fully funded by the faculty (incl. airfares, accommodation and competition expenses).

Applications are open to all students who meet the requisites. Short listed applicants will be interviewed by an academic panel who assess each applicant on the basis of academic merit, research skills and/or oral advocacy skills. Successful applicants will then be invited to join a moot team.

Several months of preparation is required to participate in a mooting competition. The team members are required to prepare written memorials that consist of submissions for the applicant and the respondent. They are also expected to participate in intensive advocacy training prior to the oral rounds of the competition.

Participation in some mooting teams may be counted as a credit towards your degree. Where credit has not been undertaken, the UTS Law Mooting Program is added to your AHEG statement upon graduation. 

Opportunities to apply for mooting competition programs are advertised via the law website and noticeboards.

Each year the faculty recognises the achievements of the mooting teams at the annual awards ceremony.
