Included With All-AccessMoot Court Simulator
Practice appellate oral argument across 18 original cases — fourth amendment, statutory interpretation, civil rights / § 1983, first amendment, contract law, evidence, property law, family law, business law, criminal procedure, tort law, constitutional law, intellectual property, equity & trusts, civil procedure, employment law, and contracts. Before each one, choose which judge temperament is on the bench (Textualist, Policy-Focused, or Procedural Stickler). The same answer can land very differently depending on who’s asking, judges cut in mid-answer, opposing counsel makes their best argument before your rebuttal, and conceding too much ground pushes the panel to press you with a harder recovery question before you reach your close. Every question, answer choice, and piece of feedback here is written in advance, so the guidance is consistent and reviewable, not improvised.
2 cases are free to try, no account needed. The rest unlock below: on their own for a one-time introductory price, or included in an All-Access Membership.

Unlock this case below →Oral Argument: Marlowe Ridge Owners v. County of Tallis

Unlock this case below →Oral Argument: In re Custody of Ibarra-Lindqvist
A parent moves a child across state lines and two states both claim the custody case: home-state priority under the UCCJEA, and why a judge's view of the child's best interests is not the jurisdictional test.

An out-of-state kiln maker sells through a distributor and is sued where a user was injured: purposeful availment, whether a used unit's claim relates to forum contacts, and where the limit on jurisdiction lies.
Unlock this case below →Oral Argument: Whitlock v. Marden County Housing Authority
A tenant loses her housing subsidy on an anonymous call, with a hearing offered only afterwards: what makes a subsidy property, how the court balances the interest, the risk of error and the government's cost, and what must happen before termination.
Unlock this case below →Oral Argument: Deshpande v. Calder Logistics
A trucker is fired after refusing to drive past the legal hours limit: the at-will rule, the narrow public-policy exception, what makes a policy clearly mandated, the employer's stated reason, and whether a regulator's complaint process displaces the claim.
