Mooting is appeal-court style advocacy. We run several mooting competitions every year allowing our students to develop their legal research and advocacy skills, with the 'cases' often being judged by local solicitors, barristers, and judges. Our students also participate in a number of inter-varsity national and international mooting competitions, including the Vis Moot, one of the largest mooting competitions in the world.

Our Student Law Society runs an annual negotiating competition, judged by local solicitors and barristers, for those students with a more commercial focus. Negotiation skills are fundamental for students who wish to work in law, as well as those who are considering working in business.

Practising lawyers run the School's careers clinic which provides one-to-one assistance for students developing their professional skills, including writing CVs and job applications, and mock interviews. General careers guidance and advice is also provided at the weekly clinic.

This annual event welcomes practising solicitors and barristers from around the country to the Law School to give a series of talks on life in legal practice. Students are able to gain real insight into life in the professions and establish links with practitioners.

This fair, organised in partnership with the Student Law Society, takes place annually and is aimed specifically at those students seeking to enter legal practice. Representatives from Law firms across the country attend and provide students with the opportunity to network and learn more about firms they are considering applying to.

Our annual Careers Dinner, organised with the Student Law Society, allows students to dine with partners and trainees from Law firms. The dinner is a unique opportunity for students to chat informally about their chosen career path, network with key contacts, and receive tips on the application process from the firms themselves.

This university scheme assigns students with a mentor who is an established professional in the students' career of choice and who provides them with advice and guidance in relation to their future career. Students are given the opportunity to spend time with their mentor, developing a relationship with them and getting an insight into what they do and how they got there.

For students interested in a career at the Bar, the Law School runs an annual trip to the Inns of Court where students can talk with current BPTC students as well as practising barristers about life at the Bar.
