Unit 4 of Practical Training – III: Moot Court Exercise and Internship (syllabus: Module IV — the viva voce and oral submissions in a moot). Below: what the unit covers, the provisions it turns on, and the cases an examiner expects you to name.
What this unit covers
- How should counsel address the court in an Indian moot?
- How should oral submissions be structured, and why announce the structure?
- How should a question from the bench be answered?
- What rules commonly govern the oral round, and on what four criteria is it evaluated?
- Why must an oral submission not be read, and what should the speaking notes contain?
- How should authorities be used orally before the bench?
- What does the viva voce test, and how is a viva answer built?
- What standards of voice, conduct and presence are expected of counsel in the round?
Treat that list as a self-test: recite each topic's rule from memory before you open its cases.
