What are moot courts and how important are they?

Moot Courts are, in simple terms, mock courts that are usually a part of the curriculum of a college. The students are given a fictitious problem (the 'case') and they have to prepare arguments from both the sides of the case, I.e. for both the parties. A usual team comprises of three people - two speakers (who argue) and one researcher (who looks for case laws to support your argument, legislation involved, etc.). Advantages of taking part in a Moot Court: 1. One develops the art of analytical thinking. 2. The experience of presenting your arguments, the practical aspect of litigation, is a good learning experience. 3. National and International Moots help in building a strong CV.

Moot means gathering of people at same place and argue at the same topic. Moot Courts are the court like demo prepared in almost all colleges of law in India for practices and practical done by students. This is an activity in which students take part as an oral argument just like what is happening really in the Indian court. This setup is organized just to see the application of all the law which student studied in their courses. Many colleges offer this practice for two to three month in which they discuss on various possible topic which is discussed in original court. In each moot practice, there are two students from each side and each of them has time of 20 min in which student has to clear their arguments and a teacher who saw all these activities.
