ABOUT THE MOOT COURT

Moot courts have been around since the late 1700s. They're a law school activity and competition during which students participate in preparing and arguing cases in front of judges. The case and sides are selected beforehand, and students are given a set amount of time to prepare for the eventual trial. Moot court involves appellate cases as opposed to those at the trial level, which are often called "mock trials."
When you have moot court on your resume, a prospective employer knows that you've been learning to form and communicate legal arguments for a year or more. If you've already spent a lot of time in law school on these tasks, that's less time the firm will have to invest in training you and more time you can spend practicing law
