Sarah L. Cooper – författare

The ideal guide for the first-time mooter, Preparing to Moot provides an accessible, student-led and pragmatic approach which demystifies the process. Now in its second edition, this book focuses on analysis, research and argument construction as the foundations for successful advocacy, and provides students with a working guide to use alongside moot problems.

Through careful use of annotated examples generated by real students, and expert tips and advice from the authors, the book shows students how to individually analyse, research and construct arguments for various advocate positions. It provides a practical and easy-to-follow overview of how to tackle a moot from analysing a problem initially, right up to beginning to advocate. This second edition features five new problem questions and includes a new chapter on moot problems involving international law.

Mooting is an increasingly important activity in UK law schools, offering students the opportunity to develop advanced analytical, research, drafting and advocacy based skills, which help to improve their general academic achievement and employability profiles in a progressively competitive job market. With the aim of showing that there is no single right way to prepare for a moot, this book will be invaluable for anyone studying mooting at university.
