Abstract
This paper originated in my own experience of when students have had the most academic benefit (learn the most), and that was when they were on competitive moot teams. Over the past 12 years, I have coached more than 25 teams for competitions. I also draw on my background as a practitioner, a teacher of Priestley
11 and elective law subjects, and my current role as Associate Dean, which provides the bigger picture perspectives of academic law school administration and the role of law schools.
Over the years, students who have completed a competitive moot, have reported how much they have learned, that after the moot, law school was so much easier, that it changed everything for them. My personal anecdotal evidence is also supported by the literature on the benefits of mooting, and by the continued
increase in popularity of moot competitions.
