ABOUT
The undergraduate mooting program is devoted to the practice of oral legal advocacy through moot competitions. The Moot Board at UofT is responsible for selecting a team of mooters at the beginning of each academic year, who then compete on behalf of UofT at national and international moot competitions. Students are prepared for competitions through workshops, seminars, and practice sessions, where mooters can receive direct feedback on their arguments and style. The UofT Moot Team is proud to have won many awards at competitions nationwide. More information on UofT’s rankings at national competitions can be found at Competition Information.
