You will activate your legal knowledge and be challenged to produce rational arguments through our practical week-long moot trial. You will simultaneously build your teamworking skills while also constructing a convincing argument for prosecution or defence referring to real cases and precedents, before participating in a full mock trial at the end of the week in front of an audience of your peers, tutors and college mentors.
Industry Experiences visits have previously included a trip to the famous Old Bailey and the Oxford Crown Courts to attend a live trial, followed by exclusive access to a real courtroom in which you can take to the stand and sit in the jury box during a questions and answers session with a legal professional.
Coaching workshops will empower you to use your legal knowledge with influence and authority by building confident and persuasive spoken skills, effective teamworking, and logical and incisive thinking skills. You will enhance your university application with guidance from our expert tutors who have extensive experience in career counselling and application support.
