AFRICAN MOOT follows four law student teams from across Africa as they travel to Botswana to compete in the largest mock court competition on the continent.

Every year, over a hundred of the most talented law students from across the African continent gather in a different capital city to compete at the prestigious African Human Rights Moot Competition, the largest mock court competition in Africa. At the competition, these young aspirant lawyers act as both prosecution and defense in a cutting-edge human rights fictional court case, each hoping to win the case and bring back the trophy to their home country. This year’s case focuses on the rights of refugees.
