Overview

Moot court is a simulation of a real court in both civil and criminal cases. It is usually presented in a hall equipped like a court of law. The relevant cases are carefully selected. Students play different judicial roles (judges, members of the public prosecution, defense, etc.) and are graded according to what is practiced in regular courts.

MOOT COURT SERVICES AT AAUP

The presence of the moot court in the Faculty of Law is considered a qualitative leap in the faculty, complementing the theoretical aspect. Especially since the moot court is an unconventional method that needs to be consolidated and activated in a way that leads to achieving the purposes assigned to it. The presence of a moot court in an emerging Faculty of Law gives a strong boost to this faculty, and develops the level of its students in the practical aspects that are indispensable for future lawyers. Since the faculty's study plan includes an important course, which is the course (Judicial Applications), the presence of the moot court is considered a basic support for teaching this course in a way that achieves the desired benefit from it.
