MOOT COURT.

A Moot Court, with its accompanying instruction, tends to perfect the
student in the details of practice. Under the immediate supervision of the
Professors, he is required to write opinions upon supposed cases; to draw
wills, contracts, conveyances, and other assurances; to devise and institute
remedies by suit or otherwise; to conduct actions at law and suits in equity;

to argue questions of law and of fact; and, in short, to perform most of the
functions of practising counsel.
