Combined Advocacy Club
(Now Part of the Legal Skills Academy)
Practical advocacy training for aspiring lawyers
Advocacy has always been at the heart of Speed Mooting.
Our Advocacy Club has now been integrated into the Legal Skills Academy, a structured programme where members develop the practical speaking, reasoning, and courtroom skills required for mooting, interviews, and legal practice.
Through regular live sessions, members take part in structured advocacy exercises in small groups, delivering submissions, responding to legal arguments, and receiving feedback in a supportive environment.

Practical training trusted by aspiring and junior lawyers

"If you’re serious about a career in law, value building strong relationships with your colleagues and clients, and become a powerful advocate, I strongly recommend joining the Advocacy Club, where you can develop your communication skills and meet like-minded individuals."

"The Advocacy Club allows people to watch other advocates and see how impactful different techniques and styles can be. At this stage of my career, being a trainee barrister, it is incredibly valuable to witness such a variety of skills to learn from and apply.
I would encourage others to join because you can try different styles or methods of advocacy that you may not be able to in other settings. You can get things wrong and learn so much from it, with supportive peers around you"

"I joined the Advocacy Club because I wanted more opportunities to develop my advocacy skills in a safe and supportive environment.
It’s a safe place to receive and implement feedback, or even just observe if you aren’t ready to share yet.
It also gives you the chance to network with other people in similar circumstances as well as legal professionals I would have never met otherwise."
