junior moot.

The RMIT LSS Junior Moot is the perfect introduction to mooting for the first year students (both post- graduate and undergraduate level) whether they decide to consider a career in advocacy or not. It is a chance to enhance their legal skills, advocacy skills, debating and public speaking skills. It is a highly recommended opportunity and a stepping stone to senior national and international competitions. 

Vis moot.

The purpose of the Vis Moot is to foster the study of international commercial law and arbitration and provide a practical training to students for resolving international business disputes.
