Moot Court
Moot court exercises are mandated by the course requirements to equip students with the skills of language, writing, argument and legal etiquette that apply across a wide variety of legal situations. At St. Joseph’s College of Law, these exercises are regularly conducted in a Moot Court Hall specially designed for the purpose, giving students the experience of arguing in a courtroom setting.
The Moot Court Hall is home to the activities of the Moot Court Society, including internal ranking rounds, the Arche Moot Court Competition for first-year students, and the annual SJCL National Moot Court Competition, now in its sixth edition. The hall is also used for trial advocacy and client counselling exercises.
