moot court judge

A moot court judge is a person who evaluates and provides feedback on simulated legal arguments presented by law students or aspiring lawyers. In these exercises, students argue both sides of a hypothetical or real legal issue as if in an actual court. The judge's role is to assess the quality of their reasoning, communication, and understanding of legal principles, much like a real judge would do in court. This experience helps students develop their advocacy skills and deepens their understanding of the law.
