Mooting Masterclass

The Mooting Masterclass will be led by Dr Paolo Cavaliere, Senior Lecturer in Media Law at the University of Edinburgh Law School, Associate Research Fellow at the University of Oxford’s Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy, who has been a judge at this competition since 2011.  

During this Masterclass, Paolo will provide participants of the Price Media Law Moot Court Competition 2025 with tips and insights on how to prepare for the upcoming competition. Participants will therefore receive advice on oral advocacy and presentation skills, on how to effectively answer judges’ questions, and on tips for rebuttals and surrebuttals.
