Developing Advocacy Skills: Moot Court Proficiency Training Workshop

On 30 October 2026, around 40 students from across degree programmes and cohorts came together for the “Moot Court Proficiency Training Workshop – Series I” to explore oral advocacy beyond the classroom.

The session featured Professor Noam ZAMIR, Associate Professor and Director of Mooting at the School of Law, City University of Hong Kong, and Mr Kay CHAN, Chairman of the Alumni Association of the School of Law and Head of Tamar Chambers. Together, they shared practical insights into mooting fundamentals, courtroom etiquette and persuasive legal submissions. Their real-world experience brought advocacy to life, leading to an engaging exchange with participants.

The workshop was organised by the student-led Mooting and Advocacy Association in line with its commitment to build a strong culture of advocacy within the School of Law student community. The session provided participants with the opportunity to learn directly from experienced practitioners and academics while strengthening their public speaking skills.

The School of Law is proud to support student-led initiatives that help our students build confidence, develop essential legal skills, and enrich their university experience.
