The Informals’ Moot Court is back after a near-decade hiatus. The return of the Moot Court, will be hosted at the CIPA student conference in the afternoon. If you’re already planning on attending, then why not join in? If you’re not planning on attending, you won’t be excluded from the Moot Court, you can turn up just for that.
So what is the Moot Court?
Opposing teams will argue an infringement and validity case based on a past FD4/P6 paper. Participants will have an opportunity to develop skills in presenting oral arguments and will get feedback on infringement and validity analysis from Chris Mercer, and a junior barrister (who will be judging the case).
The moot is a relatively informal event, and it is no problem at all if you have no prior experience of mooting. If you have never looked at a FD4 paper before (I’m guilty of that!), then this is a good an opportunity to do so, especially if you are planning on sitting FD4 this year!
