Oral argumentPractice bench
May it please the Court.
Upload your briefs and argue out loud before a practice bench that interrupts, tests your premises and presses on the weak points. Then see what to tighten.
10 free minutes. No card needed.
The Court
Counsel, where in the statute do you find that limit?
Oral argument
A practice round, start to finish.
I
Upload your briefs
Add the opening and response briefs, and a reply if you have one. MootWise reads them and lays out the issues.
II
Argue out loud
Present your argument as you would in court. The bench interrupts, tests your premises and asks you to answer directly.
III
Review and drill
See where your answers held and where they slipped, then drill the issues that need another pass.
The bench
A bench that has read your brief.
Choose how hard it presses.
Argue before a lenient bench, a moderate one or a hostile one. Raise the pressure as the day gets closer.
Questions from your briefs.
The bench reads your briefs before you begin, then asks about your authorities, your weak points and the limits of your rule.
One judge or a panel of three.
Argue before a single judge, or before a panel of three that questions you from more than one direction.
Drill what slipped.
After a round, drill the issues that need another pass, and see how each attempt went.

By invitation
Depose a witness who pushes back.
Question a simulated witness out loud, or take the chair yourself and answer opposing counsel. Deposition practice is open by invitation for now.
Either side of the table
Sit as the witness and answer opposing counsel, or take the deposition yourself and work a difficult witness toward admissions.
Prepared from your case file
Add the pleadings, the discovery record and the exhibits. The questioning follows the documents you provide rather than a generic script.
Read the record afterward
See where an answer volunteered more than it needed to, or where a question left the record incomplete, then run the hard stretches again.
Practice with a fact witness, an expert, a corporate designee or a hostile witness. As the witness, you choose how hard opposing counsel presses. Taking the deposition, you choose a cooperative, well-coached or evasive witness.
Questions
Before you start.
What do I need to start an oral argument?
Your briefs. Upload the opening and response briefs, plus a reply if you have one, and MootWise prepares the bench from them.
Can I argue before a panel?
Yes. You can argue before a single judge or a panel of three. A panel uses minutes 3 times as fast.
How do I get deposition practice?
Deposition practice is available by invitation. Email support@mootwise.ai to request access.
Is this legal advice?
No. MootWise is a practice tool. It doesn’t give legal advice or replace preparing with your team.
How does pricing work?
Law practice uses the same plans and minutes as interview practice. Your first 10 minutes are free, once.
Victory favors the prepared.
