Moot court is a term you may have read about or heard of in your research on law schools. You can tell from the name that a courtroom is somehow involved, right? But what is moot court exactly and why would you want this on your resume?

What Is Moot Court?

Moot courts have been around since the late 1700s. They're a law school activity and competition during which students participate in preparing and arguing cases in front of judges.

The case and sides are selected beforehand, and students are given a set amount of time to prepare for the eventual trial.

Moot court involves appellate cases as opposed to those at the trial level, which are often called "mock trials." Moot court experience on a resume is typically considered to be more stellar than mock trial experience, although mock trial experience is better than none. The judges are usually law professors and attorneys from the community, but sometimes they're actually members of the judiciary.

Students can join moot court in their first, second or third years of law school, depending on the school. The process for selecting moot court members varies at different schools. Competition is quite fierce to join at some schools, especially those that regularly send winning teams to national moot court competitions.

Very interesting. The FBI has gotten into all kinds of problems using informants and having them turn out to be monsters. Whitey Bulger is a prime example. The case in question here, though, did not get upended over this withholding of information. I suppose if you are trying a major criminal conspiracy/murder/criminal family case you would be loathe to turn over anything the slimbags could use to get away. Sounds like Trump should be very worried about these guys coming after him.

The last line.

 

The White House believes Mueller is primarily interested in information Gates can provide about his long business history with Manafort rather than activities related to the presidential campaign or transition.:lol:

Rick Gates appears to be another cooperating witness. The ring is closing and the rats are making the best deals they can.

Green's involvement suggests that there is an ongoing negotiation between the defendant's team and the prosecutors. At this stage, with Gates' charges filed and bail set, talks could concern the charges and Gates' plea. The defense and prosecution are currently working together on discovery of evidence.
Gates pleaded not guilty in October to eight charges of money laundering and failing to register foreign lobbying and other business. His longtime business partner, former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, pleaded not guilty to nine counts in the same case as Gates.

 

Great call by CNN! Thanks for posting this, Tibs.

The idiots pushing this still don't realize that their whole "guilt by association" rationalization still indicts the Clintons in FAR more bull **** than they'd ever catch Trump on.  

 

It's the wackiest of cognitive dissonance.

Obviously they’re big W. C. Fields fans and view the world in black and white. :ph34r:

When Fields found others stole his jokes he would beat them with his cane and tell them not to steal his jokes
