King & Wood Mallesons Open Mooting Competition
Mooting is a prestigious competition in which UWA has a long history of excellence at national and international levels. The competition aims to provide students with an opportunity to develop their legal research and analytical skills, as well as their skills of persuasive argument, in the formal environment of an appellate court.
The Open Mooting Competition involves a simulated hearing before an appellate court in which individual counsel argue particular points of law that are unsettled or the subject of recent development. The focus of the competition is the research and preparation of a List of Authorities and a brief Outline of Submissions, and the presentation of a persuasive oral argument. Mooters tend to devote themselves to preparation three days before the moot.
