Moot - Grand Moot Competition (LAW430H1F)

The Grand Moot is an exhibition moot that is scheduled during the middle of the fall term. The Faculty invites a Supreme Court of Canada Justice, an Ontario Court of Appeal Justice, and a third justice to question four excellent oral advocates in front of a large Faculty of Law audience.

Selection: Students in first or second year must try out in the spring in order to be selected for the Grand Mooting Team the following fall.

Option A: Two credits, on an Honours/Pass/Fail basis, for the written component of the Grand Moot. A mark will be assigned by the Faculty Advisor of the Grand Moot. The grading may include an evaluation of the oral as well as the written component of the competition

Option B: With notice to the Records Office and the approval of the Grand Moot Faculty Advisor, two credits, with full academic grading, for the written component of the competitive moot plus another writing project. The additional writing project is to be 10 to 15 pages and related in subject matter to the moot. For grading purposes, the Faculty Advisor will consider the written factum or memorial prepared for the moot and the added written component for grading and may consider the oral presentation as well.
