Moot court practice
Argue the appeal, and answer the bench.
Pick a landmark case and a side, then argue before an appellate bench that interrupts, tests your rule and asks the hypothetical you hoped to avoid. At the end the Court rules with a vote, and you get a scorecard on how you answered the bench.

See it in action
An appellate argument, start to finish
- You pick the case and your side. Miranda v. Arizona, for the petitioner, before a hot bench.
- The bench interrupts. Answer the question first, then return to your rule.
- The Court rules. A vote and the reasoning, what the real Court decided, and a scorecard on how you answered the bench.

How a session works
Three steps, a few minutes
- Pick a case, a side and a bench. Choose a landmark appeal such as Miranda v. Arizona, Gideon v. Wainwright or Tinker v. Des Moines, or describe your own problem. Argue for the petitioner or the respondent, in front of a hot, cold or hostile bench.
- Argue and take questions. The bench presses on your rule, your facts and where your argument would lead. Answer the question first, then return to your point. You can speak or type.
- Hear the ruling and the vote. The panel decides: reversed, affirmed or vacated and remanded, with a vote that reflects how well each side argued. You get a scorecard, and for real cases you see what the Court actually decided.
Choose your argument
Argue from either side of the v.
Sample scorecard
What an advocate sees after an oral argument
“I'd like to return to my main point, if I may.”
Deferring a question from the bench reads as evasion and costs credibility.
Try instead: “Yes, Your Honor. On those facts the rule would still apply, and here is why it does not reach further.”
Free sessions show your score, the bars, your #1 priority and one missed moment with a better line. Any pack or plan unlocks every moment and your next drill.
What makes it useful
- Questions, not a lecture. The bench interrupts and follows up on your last answer, which is the skill moot court judges score.
- Three temperaments. Practice with a cold bench to build your argument, a hot one to learn to pivot, and a hostile one to learn to stay calm.
- Real authorities in the file. Each case includes the facts, the question presented and the main authorities each side relies on, so you argue from real law.
- A real result to compare. After a real case, see how the Court actually ruled and where your argument differed.
- Practice, not legal advice. It is a training tool for students and advocates and never advises on a real matter.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Which cases can I argue?
Landmark appeals including Miranda v. Arizona, Gideon v. Wainwright, Tinker v. Des Moines, Mapp v. Ohio, Terry v. Ohio, Texas v. Johnson, New York Times v. Sullivan, Riley v. California and Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad, or your own problem.
Is this good for law school moot court or a mock appellate competition?
It is built for exactly that kind of rehearsal: a fresh bench any hour of the day. It is not coaching on your competition's specific rules, and you should check any citation yourself before using it in a brief or a round.
How does the ruling work?
A panel of appellate judges decides the appeal and states a vote, such as 5-4 or 7-2, tied to how well each side argued. The scorecard then breaks down how you answered the bench.
Can I choose a tough bench?
Yes. Choose a cold bench that lets you argue, a hot bench with constant questions, or a hostile bench that does not let up.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is practice for students and advocates. It never gives legal advice about a real matter.
Can I speak instead of typing?
Yes. Voice input works in Chrome and Edge; in other browsers, type your answers.
