This places huge emphasis on succinct, powerful arguments and avoiding verbosity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the day participants will be asked to present the case for either the Appellant or the Respondent and this will vary for participants from round to round. Judgments will be given at the end of each moot and some judges may even give feedback, which will allow participants to hone their advocacy skills throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When and where:<\/strong> BPP Manchester on <strong>Saturday 5 April 2025<\/strong>. The competition will run from 9am until 6pm. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Speed Mooting Competition is designed to replicate the scenario in practice when a barrister or solicitor advocate receives instructions at short notice to appear in court the following day. No legal research or drafting is required; you will be judged purely on your oral advocacy. The moot problem and accompanying brief will be sent out the day before the competition by email. All authorities and pre-drafted skeleton arguments will be included in the brief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in participating this competition, please email the Mooting Inbox (<a href=\"mailto:mooting@exeter.ac.uk\">mooting@exeter.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0) with your expression of interest.\u00a0<em> In accordance with the Competitions Policy, please include in your email details of any previous external competitions where you have represented the Law School.<\/em> Please note that expressions of interest must be submitted by close of business on <strong>27 January 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expressions of interest must be submitted by close of business on 27 January 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":263,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[565,255,51],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
