Mini Moot Court Presentations

Welcome, LEG122L

This semester, we’re putting your legal argument and persuasion skills to the test with our Mini Moot Court Presentations. In your small groups, you’ll research, develop arguments, and present a mock oral argument based on a fictional case scenario. This exercise is designed to give you hands-on experience in legal reasoning, teamwork, and public speaking.

Purpose

Critical Thinking: Apply legal principles and analysis to a complex, evolving scenario.

Practical Skills: Learn to construct and present legal arguments both for and against a position.

Collaboration: Build teamwork skills as you work together to plan, assign roles, and refine your arguments.
