School Activity

Law Clinic

We operate a free and confidential Law Clinic so our students can develop practical legal skills.

The Law Clinic allows our students to hone their knowledge and skills by advising real people facing real legal problems. Students interview clients to obtain all the legally relevant information, research legal issues and solutions, and write letters of advice to make it easy for clients to understand and act on.

Our Law Clinic Partners – who are drawn from a variety of law firms – supervise the process throughout, ensuring both our students and clients get the best support possible.

Mooting Competitions

We hold an annual mooting competition which all our students are invited to participate in. In teams of two, students prepare and deliver a legal argument against an opponent. Argument and advocacy skills will be scored by a judge or panel of judges and you will be asked questions during your submissions. Depending on the number of participants, several rounds are hosted with winners moving on to the semi-finals and final to crown our Leeds Trinity University Mooting Champions.

Mooting is a great way to develop legal research and argumentation skills and learn how to use legal provisions to support your arguments. The final is judged by a local legal professional. We also support you to participate in external mooting and other skills-based competitions.
