We know that mooting can be very intimidating, especially when you're in your first year. So we're running this moot to encourage as many people as possible to give mooting a go. There will be a drop in at 11am on March 5th before the moot, where we will help with any questions about mooting or the problem. The moot itself will then take place from 6pm on Tuesday 8th March. If you have any questions about taking part, please contact us.
