Reviews for The Practical Guide to Mooting

An excellent book providing good direction to students preparing for mooting activity - both practically and conceptually and clearly written and outlined. -- Dr Alpa Parmar * University of Oxford * There are many things this book does exceptionally well but two stand out: first, it is comprehensive without being over long; second, it is very accessible. -- Per Laleng * University of Kent * A very clear, useful and comprehensive guide to mooting allowing students to develop the necessary skills to excel as advocates. -- Dr Samuel White * University of the West of Scotland * A 'one stop' shop source of information for everything a student needs to know about mooting. -- Stephen Clear * Bangor University * This is a really useful handbook to both introduce students to the concept of mooting and to help them consolidate their spoken and debating skills … it’s an absolute de-mystifier! -- Dr Helen Trouille * York St John University * Long awaited, very pleased with it! -- Catherine Higgins * Manchester Metropolitan University * It is an easy to read, practical book with plenty of tips to help students acquire the skills they need to be successful in mooting and sets them on their way to be the advocates of tomorrow. -- Mitchell C Davies * Cayman Islands Law School * The book is very useful for our students. It covers the basics of mooting but does so in a very purposeful and structured way. -- Ulrike Fleth-Barten * University of Southern Denmark *
