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. Mooting is also useful, of course, for those considering a legal career, either as a solicitor or barrister. Working with FRU or other voluntary work of a similar nature and mooting or public speaking would also be helpful. Mooting is enjoyable and worthwhile.
Many universities now have a mooting course or module available as part of a law degree.
If not, student law societies generally run their own mooting programme, often featuring internal competitions. Contact details for your local mooting organiser may well be listed here . National and international mooting competitions are also run annually, with increasingly large cash prizes.
