The Unisa Moot Court Competition provides law students with practice in legal advocacy through a simulated court session. Students get to argue legal cases just like they would in court.

The Unisa Tshwane Region team, which participated, included four students led by Prince Mphuthi, Tshwane Regional Student Representative Council Secretary. They were required to prepare and present arguments on a complex legal issue before a panel of judges.
