Mooting Competition

Hah! Despite my oath not to join the mooting competition this year, I was dragged into it by two very subtle teachers. I thrashed. I struggled. I squirmed. I writhed. But still I was Instructing Solicitor for Lodge International School Mooting Team A.

So for a month or so I skipped classes and stayed back after school for mooting meetings (oh look! an alliteration!) and came unwelcomed to Miss Donna's house and polished off her stock of earl grey tea.

This one night, Team A and Team B were at Miss Donna's house. Bianca was reciting her speech while Ash and Fang and me were at her dining table. I was making a cover page for our summation when I turned to my two awesome teammates for opinions.

Me: Hey Ash, what do you think of this? *shows laptop to Ash*
Ash: Ok, except i think the team name should be something better.
Me: Like what?
Ash: Oh i dunno, how bout *poses* Super hyper monkey team alpha force Go!!!!
Me: Ahahahahaha ahahahahahaha.....oh...you're serious....ah no!!! no Ash!!! hekh-stop-strangling-meeeeeee....

Moving on, we mooted on the 9th of May at Holiday Inn, which as a bummer cause last year I got to do it in a real court room. Guess what? WE WON!!!!!

OMG!

WTF!!

HOLY *%#$!!!!
and...and...

WE'RE GOING TO BRIZZIE FOR THE GRAND FINALS AGAINST THE OZZIES...WHOOOO!!
Congratz to Ash for getting the Overall Outstanding Advocate Award and Fang for Outstanding Advocate Award. Don't ask me what's the difference.

And thanks for all the people who cared enough to drag their asses to Holiday Inn to watch us in the finals against St Thres. I know it was boring, I can hear yur sighs when it was over. I was yawning too.

For those who have better things to do than to know:
a moot is a legal argument submitted by advocates to the Court.
a mooting competition is when students come together and take the roles of lawyers before a court and deliver their respective submissions in a moot against or for a ground of appeal.
