About us

For over 11 years, we have been helping aspiring lawyers gain experience to enter the legal profession. It started with the revolutionary National Speed Mooting Competition that was initially founded by criminal barrister, John Dove, in the 2012/2013 academic year. Since then, we have expanded and now host various advocacy and mooting competitions throughout the year. Some of our competitions take place online and some in person. All competitions are judged by practitioners who normally give constructive feedback to competitors. 

The philosophy of our competitions is to create a level playing field for all competitors, regardless of experience. There is no drafting or research involved in any of our competitions. You are tested on oral advocacy alone. The speedy format of our competitions makes them fun and engaging. Keep an eye on our website for details of the next competitions. 

Participants enter as individuals rather than teams and represent themselves and not their university. There is therefore no limit on the number of students that can enter from any given institution.

Our competitions take place across the course of a single day with a knockout format. This means that the time commitment required from competitors is limited.
