Unit 1: The Moot Court and the Moot File (Course Orientation)
1.1 What is a Moot Court?
The moot (the law’s practice-room): the simulated-proceeding (the imaginary-case’s argument (the real-procedure’s discipline (the courtroom’s training-without-the-client’s-risk)))). The mooter’s roles (the advocate’s (the petitioner’s-and-the-respondent’s counsel)); the bench (the judge’s-role (the questioning (the intervention’s art))); the real-vs-the-moot (the real’s-client-and-consequences vs the moot’s-problem-and-marks (the skills’-transfer-the-same)).
1.2 The Course’s Three Components (the Syllabus’s Own Design)
- The moot court (the file-and-the-argument (the civil-case-or-writ’s choice));
- **The hearing preparation (the client-interview (the facts’-gathering (the professional’s-first-meeting))));
- The trial participation (the real-or-simulated court’s-observation (the proceedings’-live-experience)).
1.3 The Evaluation Scheme (40-10-50)
The 100-mark-file: the 40 internal (the class-teacher’s continuous-assessment (the drafts’-and-the-participation)); the 10 viva (the 3-member-committee (the 10-years-experience (the teaching-or-practice-or-judge-or-prosecutor))); the 50 external (the external-examiner’s file-evaluation (the professionalism’s-paper)). The lesson: the file is the course (the marks live in the documents’ quality (the presentation’s discipline (the timeline’s respect (the form’s-submission-with-the-exam-form (the syllabus’s own instruction))))).
