65 66 MOOT COURT

A method of teaching law and legal skills that requires students to analyze and argue both sides of a hypothetical legal issue using procedures modeled after those employed in state and federal appellate courts.

Moot court requirements at School of law, Jagran Lakecity University, Bhopal mandates that students participate at least once in a moot court argument before receiving their law degree. School of law schools offer right from the ﬁrst year a series of moot court opportunities for students of differing skill levels and legal interests. The activity is competitive by nature, and students vie for honors within their school and in regional and national moot court competitions featuring teams of students from several law schools. Moot Court helps students learn to analyze legal issues; its larger purpose is to teach students the practical side of practicing law. Typically, law students are given a detailed hypothetical fact scenario that raises one or more legal issues. Often these fact patterns are based on real cases on appeal to a state's highest court or the Supreme Court. Students choose or are assigned the position on the issue to be argued. They then conduct legal research, ﬁnding statutes, regulations, and case law that both support their position and detract from it. An important part of the moot court process is to teach students to overcome legal authority (statutes, regulations, and cases) that cuts against their position.
