CARLETON MOOT TEAM
MOOTING?
The Carleton Moot Team is an arm of the Carleton Law and Legal Studies Society. The goal of the Moot Team is to enable members in developing their oral advocacy and legal argumentation skills by preparing for and participating in mooting tournaments. Senior members serve as leaders and mentors for newer mooters. The Carleton Moot Team has had tremendous success, winning multiple national undergraduate mooting titles in recent years. The Carleton Moot Team continues this tradition of excellence in order to best prepare our members for further legal education and employment, as well as represent our school throughout the country in undergraduate tournaments.
