Educational Programs

For students who are new to competitions or want some extra support, we strongly encourage you to get involved with our education programmes throughout the year. These include our Introductory Programs: run for moots and all the skills competitions; our Intermediate Programs: for those looking to step into the Intervarsity sphere; and our First Year Crash Courses: an intensive day exclusively for first years to develop skills and socialise.

Our Introductory and Intermediate Programs run for 2-4 weeks and only require a few hours of commitment each week. As they run before or alongside the start of internal competitions, this is a great way to learn how to compete before actually starting a new competition.

Registration for education programmes normally open at the beginning of each semester.

Opportunities in 2024

Introductory Programs

Our Introductory Programs are held in both Semester 1 and 2, and are run for mooting, negotiations, client interviewing and witness examination. Mentees will attend weekly mentoring sessions run by an experienced senior competitor, and will learn the foundations of each skill. 

The Introductory Skills Programs generally run for 2 weeks, whilst the Introductory Mooting Program runs for around 4 weeks and includes an optional final moot.

Registrations generally open at the beginning of each Semester. There will be opt-in streams for each Program to cater for LLB I, JD I, ESL and Beginners. We will try our best to accommodate your preferences!

Intermediate Programs

Our Intermediate Programs are held in the Winter Break and are run for mooting and negotiations. It is aimed at students who have participated in a couple moots or negotiations competitions and want to prepare for intervarsity competitions. Mentoring sessions are run by experienced competitors with intervarsity and international experience, and are a great way to up-skill.

Registrations generally open at the end of Semester 1 / start of the Winter Break.

First Year Crash Course

Our First Year Crash Courses are a new initiative in 2024 and will focus on Negotiations in Semester 1 and Mooting in Semester 2. These are only for LLB I and JD I students, and offer the opportunity to both develop skills and socialise over an intensive day.

Registrations generally open at the beginning of each Semester.

This is a four-week program run in Semester 2. The WMP is open to all female- and non-binary- identifying Sydney Law School students and caters to all levels of mooting experience. Registrations open at the end of Semester 1. More information on the Women’s Mooting Program can be found here.
