0 points * Full-year subject * Clayton
A moot is an exercise in presenting legal argument, on behalf of fictitious parties, before a moot master sitting as judge. Each party is usually represented by two students who must lodge with the moot court secretary, before their moot, a memorandum of their intended argument. Students must: (a) attend a course of four lectures; (b) attend a full sitting of the moot court as an observer and make a written report on the conduct of the case; and (c) participate in a moot as counsel and obtain not less than a pass mark. Requirements (a) and (b) must be fulfilled before requirement (c), but (b) may precede (a). Enrolment must be effected, separately from enrolment in other subjects, with the moot court secretary in room 225 of the Law building. Enrolment is restricted to students in the last two years of their course for the LLB degree. They will be assigned to a moot in an area of law related to a subject which they have completed or for which they are currently enrolled.
