A moot court is an extracurricular activity at CNLU in which students take part in simulated court proceedings, which usually involves drafting memorials or memoranda and participating in oral argument. The term “moot” traces its origins to Anglo-Saxon times, when a moot (gmot or emot) was a gathering of prominent men in a locality to discuss matters of local importance. The modern activity differs from a mock trial, as moot court usually refers to a simulated appellate court or arbitral case, while a mock trial usually refers to a simulated jury trial or bench trial.

Moot court does not involve actual testimony by witnesses, cross-examination, or the presentation of evidence, but is focused solely on the application of the law to a common set of evidentiary assumptions to which the competitors must be introduced. In most countries, the phrase “a moot court” may be shortened to simply “a moot” and the activity may be called “mooting”. Participants are either referred to as “mooters” or “mooties”.
