The Law Moot Society is a student-led structure, a laboratory of innovative legal ideas, a launchpad for academic and professional excellence, and a platform through which you will meet peers and engage in an environment where legal rigour intertwines with critical thinking, international collaboration, and academic ethics.

Starting with this academic year, the Society will organise:

1. internal and international moot court competitions;

2. training sessions on drafting legal documents and oral pleadings;

3. participation in national and international competitions;

4. partnerships with courts, bar associations, embassies, NGOs, and universities both in Romania and abroad;

5. academic events and multi-, trans-, and interdisciplinary debates.

The word “moot” originally meant a deliberative assembly, council, court, or judicial gathering. From the fifteenth century onwards, the term “moot” was adopted within the academic legal environment in England—particularly within the Inns of Court, the professional training institutions for barristers—to designate student legal simulations. These exercises were designed to develop students’ advocacy, legal reasoning, and interpretative skills.

Today, in both academic and legal contexts, the term “moot court” has spread internationally and refers to an academic simulation of judicial proceedings, in which students prepare written submissions and deliver oral pleadings before a panel acting as a court.

I wholeheartedly encourage you to take an active part in the Society’s activities—as members, competitors, researchers, or volunteers. The Law Moot Society is the place where passion for the law is transformed into competence, courage, and a global vision.

Let us build together a strong, internationalised, and forward-looking academic community, capable of shaping the next generation of legal professionals.
