Mooting at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½
Mooting is a mock court exercise where students argue a legal case in front of a judge. It is a great way to develop advocacy, legal research, critical thinking and public speaking skills in a courtroom environment.
As a smaller Law school, Bangor can offer students more opportunities to take part in mooting and advocacy activities. Using our dedicated Moot Courtroom, you'll present legal arguments, respond to questions and build the confidence needed for careers in the legal profession and beyond.
Our lecturers always asking us questions on what we think about the law. We're able to talk about reforms and the way the law should change and develop. There are so many things I love about Bangor!
