There is no greater skill for a law student than constructing a logical and compelling argument. The Art of Argument: A guide to Mooting guides the reader through the process of developing, presenting and defending a convincing argument in an international mooting competition - a setting where students from around the world come together to argue a hypothetical case and hone their skills as advocates. The book explains the secrets of success in mooting, in sample, step-by-step style. It describes:
•    What to do when you first get the moot problem
•    How to begin researching the subject matter
•    How to build an Argument
•    How to present written and oral submissions
•    The value of practice moots
•    How to handle yourself at the competition
The books is primarily aimed at students who are preparing to participate in an international mooting competition. However, other students will find the techniques applicable all areas of their study and exam preparation, and coaches of moot teams will find it an invaluable source of hints, tips and useful advice.
