Moot court is the mock trial all first-year law students must partake in. In a moot, you have two teams of law students competing against each other in front of a panel of judges. As arguably the most stressful part of their first-year law school experience, we wanted to create a tool to allow students to prepare themselves for the intimidating situation and practice their oral presentation in a simulated environment. This allows students to practice on their own and connect with their peers from wherever, whenever. We've designed a simulated courtroom with judges who simulate the questioning section while the students present their arguments and practice their delivery to the court.

Our simulated courtroom allows for much customization, tailored to the student's specific needs. Whether they want the following 3D scene to take place during the daytime or nighttime, whether they wish to have a long or short time period for their oral arguments, or position themselves as appellant or defendant - they can choose to customize any of the settings that are integral to their mooting experience on the setup page. We have also designed an online mooting resource bank that can be updated by professors and students alike to best prepare themselves and their peers for the moot.
