  "term": "Moot court",
  "field": "Law",
  "definition": "A simulated appellate court proceeding conducted by law students for training in legal argumentation and procedure. Participants analyze a hypothetical case, prepare written briefs, and present oral arguments before a panel of judges, who are typically professors, attorneys, or actual judges. Unlike mock trial, which simulates a trial-level proceeding with witnesses and evidence, moot court focuses exclusively on the application of law to a settled set of facts.",
