Review from previous edition This is a splendid book in every way . . . Every law school in the English-speaking world should have at least two copies or, preferably, since there are usually four mooters to a moot, four copies. They will quickly become well thumbed. * Lord Slynn of Hadley * Whether read from cover to cover or used as a work of reference, this book will be indispensable for those coming new to mooting. It also contains much information and ideas from which more experienced mooters will benefit * The Law Teacher * Full of practical guidance and pointers towards all aspects of successful mooting ... of value to both the inexperienced mooter and the experienced mooter or moot organiser * Graham Wright, Senior Lecturer in Law, Birmingham City University * A really great book which has detailed and comprehensive content, covering all the relevant points * Chris Ashford, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Sunderland *More details
