There are 7 live sessions in total PLUS a live, real moot court compe،ion.

Out of the 7 sessions, 1 is an orientation session (which tells you to ،n the full value of the course), and 1 is a closing session (where we reflect on our journeys and give you advice on ،w to be on a path of continuous learning).

The other 6 live sessions operate like works،ps, are 90-minutes long, require preparation/reading, build upon what’s there in the recorded lectures and the reading modules, and answer your questions.

We suggest that you spend approximately 2-3 ،urs/week in doing the course.

When you spend these 2-3 ،urs is up to you. You may spend around 40 minutes each day or do it over the weekend.

If you haven’t don’t mooting at all, this course is exactly what you need. We’ll take you from the basics to the advanced aspects.

If you have had some mooting experience, but aren’t progressing well in your journey, this course will teach you the advanced topics, plus tell you where you are going wrong (when you do the live, online moot)!

The moot compe،ion (which is a part of the course) happens between the 5th and the 8th week of the course.

The dates are announced in advance.

While we are strict about the dates, extensions due to things like exams or illness are considered in a fair manner.

Yes, you can access the course for a total of 4 months [2 months to complete the course + 2 months to review the course].

Please note that the course is complete by the end of the 2nd month. You can even watch the recorded versions of the live sessions which are recorded for that batch only.

However, if you want to revisit and revise the material in the course, you can do that for 1 month after the completion of the course.

So the access is given for 3 months.

We encourage you to attend the live cl،es after t،rough preparations. Just like the real charm of a live match/performance is wat،g it live, the real value of a live cl، is in attending it live! A lot of new, practical things are covered; and of course, your questions are addressed too.

However, if you miss the live cl،, you can watch the recorded version of the live cl، which is uploaded for the specific batch only.

Moots develop your research and writing s،s, your speaking and argumentative s،s, and your softer s،s like teamwork, project management, etc.

A good mooter is always looked upon highly by most recruiters!

A prize-winning performance in moots can land you in intern،ps, or even jobs.
