I think the above posters have answered the question about mooting and moot competitions well. Mooting is currently more of an extra-curricular activity although there are some specialised elective subjects that teach students mooting/trial advocacy skills. Pro bono work is usually something that concerns law firms. They are usually matters run for individuals (who usually do not have enough funds to represent themselves fully) and law firms take them on 'pro bono'. Pro bono is not necessarily free but is at least discounted. Law firms who take on pro bono work do it as a matter of public relations and/or a service to the general/special community. I hope that helps! Regards, David

Torts form probably the most common form of litigation and is a foundation unit in any law course because it is the starting blocks on what our legal system will see as right and wrong, and probably where liabilities exist. Torts is an extensive area and as mentioned before, negligence is the most common form. However, others include: -Defamation; -Nuisance - Private and Public (Crime at Common Law) -Tresspass to the Person, Land and Goods -Injurious Falsehood -Passing Off

I suppose my statement comes from the philosophy that any act or ommission, legal liability or wrong, can be linked back to a tort or a contractual wrong, although a lot of our laws are also statutes which can provide other forms of litigation as seen with Commercial Litigation.

(Even more so now - in NSW, after Bob Carr and friends imposed the Civil Liabilities Act. Personal injuries claims in particular have seen a dramatic decrease.) | |
