Moot Court Toolkit

Plan, time, and rehearse your own oral submissions.

This is a browser-only planning and rehearsal workspace. It does not generate legal arguments, authorities, answers, questions, script, or advocacy. Everything you enter lives in the browser and is lost on refresh or reset. Official moot rules and the timekeeper always control.

How to use this tool

  1. Use the tabs to move between Timer, Outline, Bench questions, and Authorities.
  2. On Timer, set total time, any reply time, and warning checkpoints (for example, 2 minutes remaining). Press Start. Overtime shows in red with a plus sign.
  3. On Outline, plan each section with a target time. The panel compares planned time to your total allotment.
  4. On Bench questions and Authorities, log entries during rehearsal. Nothing is saved after refresh or reset.
  5. Use Copy full plan or Print to export. Reset all clears every module and asks for confirmation.

Official moot rules and the timekeeper always control. This tool is a rehearsal aid only.
