Experiences and insights from Allard Law students’ upper-year moots

From left to right, Jessup Moot team members Jaya Scott, Madison McBlain, Shanice Harris, Kevin Doering and Ananya Aravindan. The team was coached by Dionne Liu (Harper Grey), Devin Eeg (Hunter Litigation) and Allard Law Professor Karin Mickelson.

This year, Allard Law students travelled across Canada and the United States to participate in twelve different upper-year moots

Moots, which are simulated court proceedings, give law students an opportunity to work together to hone their skills as advocates. To prepare, students spend months practicing with their teammates and coaches and developing their arguments. Allard spoke with three students who participated this past year in our upper-year moots to find out what they took away from the experience.
