  3. Why Moot Mooting is useful for developing legal skills of analysis and interpretation, but also personal skills of argument and public speaking. Most importantly of all, it is great fun. There is nothing quite like the feeling of driving home a crucial point, or defeating your opponents' arguments with irrefutable authority. To get the most out of mooting, a lot of work is required, but as many experienced mooters will tell you, it is well worth it!
