“Mooting enabled us to practice a skill essential to furthering our ambitions to become barristers – oral advocacy. And by reaching the Commonwealth finals we had the extremely rare opportunity of mooting in the presence of three of the world’s most eminent judges – the Chief Justices of the Falklands, New Zealand and Trinidad and Tobago. There can’t be many other people able to put that experience on their CV. And, vitally, it has given an enormous boost to our confidence to become effective lawyers in the future.”
Matthew Sellwood, graduate of the Brookes Diploma in Law, and winners of the highly prestigious Commonwealth mooting competition representing Brookes in Cape Town, South Africa, in May 2013.
