UM MOOT CLUB
UM Moot Club is a student organization dedicated to promoting and enhancing the skills of mooting among law students at the University of Malaya. Mooting involves simulated court proceedings, where students argue cases in front of judges, honing their legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills. The club organizes auditions, workshops, training sessions, and internal competitions to prepare students for national and international moot court competitions.
The UM Moot Club operates under the umbrella of the University of Malaya Law Society (UMLS), the principal student body representing law students at the university. The UMLS oversees various student activities, aiming to provide a holistic educational experience that complements the academic curriculum. UM Moot Club, as a specialized arm of the UMLS, focuses specifically on developing litigation and advocacy skills, which are crucial for future legal practitioners.
The correlation between the UM Moot Club and the UMLS is synergistic. UM Moot Club benefits from the resources, support, and broader platform provided by the UMLS, while the UMLS leverages the club's activities to enhance its overall mission of fostering a dynamic and engaging legal education environment. Together, they work to ensure that law students at the University of Malaya have ample opportunities to excel in mooting and other co-curricular pursuits, ultimately preparing them for successful careers in the legal field.
