Moots Involvement
There is no better way to acquire the fundamental skills of analysis, research, writing, and advocacy required for legal practice, and there is also no better way to be connected to the vast network of junior and senior lawyers that SMU’s pool of coaches and judges now comprise, than to do an international moot in SMU.
