This course provides students with credit for participation in a range of suitably challenging mooting, advocacy, negotiation and policymaking competitions and programs. Participation in competitions and programs may also be credited by consultation with the course convenor.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Plan and conduct legal and/or policy research on a range of contemporary problems to produce compelling written legal arguments and/or policy documents.
- Synthesise and evaluate related complex problems of law and/or policy in a national and/or international context.
- Engage in oral advocacy as an individual and team member in adversarial and/or collaborative formats.
- Build collegial and constructive relationships with teammates, other competitors/participants and external observers/stakeholders.
Work Integrated Learning
Simulation/Virtual
Mooting is an excellent way for students to apply learned legal knowledge and analysis. The simulated scenarios allow students to select and apply a range of communication skills and apply critical thinking in order to moot as if an advocate at an international justice arbitration. Students are provided with the opportunity to demonstrate adaptability in moots by taking a range of positions within the advocacy team and on either side of the legal dispute and are required to analyse, consolidate and synthesise knowledge to identify and provide solutions to complex problems in a practical way.
Other Information
Each topic offered in this course will have an application process that will be located on the ANU College of Law Website.
