Arbitration Moot Court Competition - Some Tips for the Oral Part

Record your pleadings with colleagues or alone. If necessary, use lots of video. 

If you have a tendency to develop a strong blush in the area of your neck and below while speaking publicly, cover it with collar, scarf etc. (before you speak). Rapid intense blush looks like you’re terribly nervous or at least very emotional about your argument. Even it you’re not, this can affect how the panel perceives you, and the spirit of other people in the team.

Don’t be mean to the other team. Arbiters are smart people -- of course! ;) -- and they will notice, even if it’s subtle. And many of them won’t like that. Instead, show class.

Panels appreciate if you show to have time under control.

Besides, NEVER watch My Cousin Vinny before the competition. Haha!

Good luck! ###YOUTUBEVIDEO###
