Scholarship has generally represented moot court competitions in one of two ways: either as a beneficial way for students to develop practical skills prior to the Bar, or as a reproducer of hierarchy and exclusion. This review essay attempts to plot a third way of thinking about moots, one that finds critical potential in the exercise of mooting while remaining attentive to its conservative biases. Building out from a critique of the common law focus of Thomas and Cradduck’s The Art of Mooting, the essay reflects on how critical approaches to international law can be used to teach moot skills more effectively. The essay then turns to the limitations such a critical pedagogy must be aware of within the actual practice of the competition, considering how these limits can be navigated and even flipped into teachable moments for critically inclined students. The essay closes with a call for a more nuanced discussion about the use of experiential learning, of which moots are only one example, for fostering critical engagement with international law.

模拟法庭的政治

奖学金通常以两种方式之一代表模拟法庭比赛:要么作为学生在获得律师资格之前培养实践技能的有益方式,要么作为等级制度和排斥的复制品。这篇评论文章试图勾勒出第三种思考模拟辩论的方式,一种在模拟模拟辩论中发现关键潜力,同时保持对其保守偏见的关注。这篇文章基于对 Thomas 和 Cradduck 的 The Art of Mooting 的普通法焦点的批评,反映了如何使用国际法的批判性方法更有效地教授模拟技能。然后,本文转向了这种批判性教学法在竞赛的实际实践中必须意识到的局限性,考虑如何克服这些限制,甚至将其转变为具有批判性倾向的学生的可教时刻。这篇文章最后呼吁对使用体验式学习进行更细致入微的讨论,其中模拟辩论只是一个例子,以促进对国际法的批判性参与。
