Public Speaking and Debating 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.

"I really enjoy the Advocacy Club.
It's great to practise in a safe environment and is also so interesting to connect with others who are at all different stages of their journey"

"Tonight I had the privilege of taking part in an Advocacy Club debate. This was a brilliant chance to practice my advocacy and to engage with peers in a supportive environment.
I would highly recommend that people do get involved with everything Speed Mooting offers, whether that be the Advocacy Club, their Community Hub or any other of their amazing opportunities"
