I am delighted to have been elected Mooting Officer for the MTSA for 2008-09. My background is in Veterinary Medicine and last year I completed the Graduate Diploma in Law at the University of Hertfordshire. I was involved in the mooting there and found it developed very useful skills, like legal research, developing arguments, dealing with the interventions and questions of judges and speaking in public. I would hope to make mooting opportunities available to as many students as possible, because this will help you to develop as advocates (to say nothing of looking good on your CV!)
