Moot FAQs

What is the Collas Crill Moot?

The Collas Crill Moot is an annual inter-school competition that sees students from across the Island competing against each other in a mock-trial setting. There will be three rounds of moots, and every team will participate in each moot. A different legal case will be argued each round and teams will be marked against various criteria by the Judge. The case facts and judging criteria will be made available for review the week before each moot.

When will the Moots take place?

The moots will take place from October-December. Each participating school will rotate hosting the moots and they will all occur after school-hours. The exact dates and times for each Moot can be found below, under Moot Schedule.

Will we receive training?

Absolutely! Prior to each Moot, participants are encouraged to attend the Moot training sessions led by Collas Crill lawyers. There will be three Moot training sessions and a fourth and final Moot training session, which will only need to be attended by the top-scoring teams from each school in preparation for the Final Moot. You will be notified ahead of time if your attendance is required. The exact dates and times for each Training Session can be found below, under Training sessions schedule.

What will we be judged on?

You will be prepped by your dedicated Collas Crill coach before every Moot so you know exactly what the judges will be looking for. Some things that you'll be judged on include: court etiquette, persuasiveness, clarity of speech, body language, legal argument and time keeping. For a full breakdown of judging criteria, please see page 8 of the introductory guide.

Moot cases

A different legal case will be argued in each Moot round. These case facts will be shared for review on this page the week before each Moot.

Training sessions schedule

Before each Moot, students are encouraged to attend a training session. These will be led by your school's dedicated Moot trainers and are an opportunity to ask questions and get feedback on that week's relevant case, as well as learn a little more about mooting.

Date and timings for each school are linked below.
