In a moot court, participants will typically receive a problem ahead of time. They will research and prepare for that case as if they are lawyers or advocates for one or both of the parties. Participants will then write briefs, participate in oral arguments, or both. The case involved is often chosen to highlight a fine point of law or legal procedures. Moot court competitions are typically sponsored by organizations with interest in particular areas of law. The "case" or problem is often one of current interest, sometimes mimicking an actual case, and sometimes fabricated to address difficult legal issues. Because of the practical experience moot court participants gain, Law Firm s that engage in litigation often look to hire students who have engaged in this activity. In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, the phrase "a moot court" may be shorted to simply "a moot". SEE ALSO
