By the provision of sample moots and examples of all phases of the moot, from research to the final critique, it provides both students and supervisors with models and guidelines for establishing a successful mooting program. For the student, the LexisNexis Skills Series Mooting Manual provides a practical guide to all phases of preparation and presentation, including research, court etiquette, the summary of argument, the role of each team member, opening and closing of argument, presentation skills and responding to questions from the bench. By the use if examples, the manual gives students models which can be followed in their own presentations. For the supervisor, the LexisNexis Skills Series Mooting Manual provides a number of sample moot problems, teaching materials, administrative instructions, marking guides and guidance on effective feedback to participants. A unique section of the manual is designed to provide high school teachers with all the particular information and resources needed to establish a lively mooting program at their school.
