Taking full advantage of the Law School new ‘state of the art’ Moot Courtroom, James has developed the School’s first Advocacy and Mooting module. In this module students engage in authentic learning and assessment activities designed to develop their advocacy and oral presentation skills in a courtroom setting. Outside of the module, James helps to select and coach teams for external mooting competitions and has played a key role in establishing UCD as the most successful university in the country in mooting and other advocacy based competitions.
