• Memorising speeches
• The importance of practise, practise, practise!

Roles within mooting

<movie>file=/video/mootingcomplete/RolesWithinMooting.flv|width=512|height=288</movie> The mooters clarify how the roles of junior and senior pan out (no - the junior is not the senior's whipping boy!).

Big issues covered include:

• Importance of teamwork;
• Consistency wins points;
• Cross-referencing arguments with aplomb

Role of the judge

<movie>file=/video/mootingcomplete/RoleOfJudge.flv|width=512|height=288</movie> This clip sees you introduced to the knee-wobbling horror that is judicial intervention. Hopefully it will reassure you somewhat that everyone is a little daunted (OK terrified) of the judge questioning you and putting you off your stroke.

Our brave mooters cover the following:

• What demeanour to adopt
• Different types of judge (don't forget to see our accompanying guide Know Your Judge for more on this)
• The perils of trying to 'read' judges
• How effective your response to a judge's question can be

Sharing good (and bad!) experiences

<movie>file=/video/mootingcomplete/GoodBadExperiences.flv|width=512|height=288</movie> A warm cuddly 'sharing experiences' clip complete with top tips on:

• Balancing your emotions
• Remembering to conclude - don't just fade out (See our live example of this in Top Tips)
• Not over-thinking

Ahhhh...it's good to share (Thanks ryancr - flickr.com)
