From source material to a reviewable result

Starting material

Select a practice matter with the facts, dates and documents you want to review.

What to review

Review a preparation pack that brings key issues and case context together.

A study example

Before a moot round, prepare a short chronology, separate admitted and disputed facts, and check which documents support each proposition.

Before relying on the result

A preparation pack does not replace your submissions or a supervisor’s review. Use fictional, public or authorised material for practice.

What is the Hearing Preparation?

Good oral advocacy depends on knowing the record. The hearing preparation tool brings a practice matter’s facts, dates, pleadings and documents into one pack: a chronology, the issues likely to be argued, the propositions each side must establish, and the documents that support or undermine them. It also suggests questions the bench may ask, so you can prepare short, direct answers.

Who it is for

It is aimed at mooters preparing for oral rounds, students in trial advocacy courses, and interns who have been asked to help a senior prepare a brief on a matter they are authorised to work on.

Worked example

Your moot problem concerns termination of a commercial lease. Load the moot proposition and the compromise clause as a practice matter. The pack builds a dated chronology from the notice to the arbitration invocation, separates admitted facts from disputed ones, and lists two issues: validity of the termination notice and arbitrability. For each issue it maps the clauses relied on. You then draft a one-page speaking note and prepare answers to the likely bench question on the notice period.
