What mooting had taught me?
Salam!
dan nak argue bukan boleh main petik je. kena tackle issue by issue. dan bila jadi respondent, kena respon apa yang ditanya, bukan main terjahhhhhh je berhujah kang kena dengan judge "ade kiteorang tanyaa???!!?!"
eh jap logik tu ya, but support with facts (statute&case). tu paling vital sekali.
2. Statute/Akta.
Statute kena banyak cross-refer from one section to another. Sebab kadang-kadang dia boleh jadi contradict sebab banyak word 'subject to blablabla' which hella confusing taubat mak. That why it is wrong untuk refer to only one particular section je huhuhu.
takda cara lain, memang kena well-versed dengan semua kandungan akta tu (exaggerate but yeah)
3. Also, A LOT of cases to be read, obviously.
Lepas dah baca dan faham basic dia ('basic' lah sangat), dah get the idea nak guna law mana, kena go thorugh cases pulak untuk faham cemana counsel tu apply specific section and how they argue. kalau dia tak pihak kepada kita or argument dia kalah kena cari case lain pulak yang support case client kita.
tapi, penting jugak ambik nota kat sini (hahaha direct translation) argument yang kalah tu jangan tolak mentah-mentah dan buang jauh-jauh. macam aku buat. salah.
sepatutnya baca jugak case yang tak menangkan client jugak, and tengok how both parties argue. on what and which point yang counsel slack in presenting their argument. kat sini kena kreatif dan kritis kalau nak pusing-pusing ayat. reference kena ingat still tak boleh lari dari the law/statute yang termaktub just cara interpret tu might be differ, case to case basis which yeah case lagi.
never ending cycle diaaaaaaaaa 😭😭
ala comel.
Tanyalah bebudak law mana-mana pun, mooting is da shit. Hahahahah, crucial gila. Bizi dia satu sem tu.
Anyway, aku tak berhajat pun nak cerita apa susahnya dan lecehnya mooting sebab no matter how much u tell a story even how detailed it is, others that were not in your shoes/boat would never know and would never boleh relate.
which explains why aku tak banyak cerita kat orang. paham tak pls?
but since ini blog dan bukannye orang, so aku ceritalah, boleh kan? hshshshaja (conflicting w my own principle ke camne ni)
1. Research requires A LOT of reading. Just in case, someone did'nt know abt this, just to highlight. macam aku, aku represent the respondent so mostly i'm doing a research that support my argument.
Which is wrong. Macam Dr. cakap, as a respondent you supposedly responded to what the counsel from the appellant argue, so still kena well-equiped with general knowledge first, only then you know how to argue, which point yang lemah dan boleh tackle.

Which i wish knew it sooner.
dan research ni memang kena banyak baca, bukan kau ingat kau tahu dasar, fikir logik dia dah cukup. nope, law ni bukan logik ye kawan-kawan. nak argue guna otak jangan amik law hshshshsjksa. that's why politician tak amik law eh

4. BOA (Bundle of Authorities)
Part ni teknikal sket. semua authorities statute/case kena photostet dan buat jadi macam buku scrap jadilah dia 'bundle of authorities'.
macam senang kan? eh memang senang je. case dengan statute tu print je semua. satu case around 50-60 pg, kalau nasib baik adelah yang 30 pg. pastu kena buat dua copies. satu untuk counsel refer lagi satu untuk judge. part aku haritu adelah 600 pg total which 1200 total pg. tak campur part farhah lagi.
duit habis buat benda alah BOA ni je 💸

kena letak paging manual okay, gigih lah tulis muka surat satu per satu make sure tak terskip. tagging pulak which basically macam letak sticky note tanda mana part yang kita quote argument daripada case yang dah diprint tadi untuk senang judge dan counsel refer.
kesilapan kiteorang ialah 2 hari sebelum submission baru nak print semua benda alah autoriti. menyesal weh padahal Dr. dah pesan awal-awal jangan buat last minute kelakor je bila dengar balik audio yang direcord waktu lecture sebab Dr. knew her students VERY well haiz.
tak tido semalaman buat BOA, dia punya gila dah siap hantar balik bilik tido sampai termimpi-mimpi ingatkan belum hantar, berhantu.

5. Written submission.
Dia quite simple tapi tuhari written dengan BOA kena submit pada hari dan waktu yang sama sebabtu cam tak waras sket but basically written submission is summarization of research yang ko dah buat dapatlah dalam 20 pages.
ada format, benda-benda teknikal camtu.
6. Oral submission.
Mooting itself. Submit secara oral depan judge. All these research you have done for the past 4 mths, bentangkan secara konfiden depan judge. Macam debat, tapi kau boleh refer BOA untuk present.
bahasa-bahasa court kena tahu. "May I quote in verbatim Yang Arif?" "Much obliged." blablabla ni more to court etiquette la. Praktis mek perfek gituh (ei rempit)

Bila dah habis mooting ni lega dia tu sungguh lah sebagai hamba yang bersyukur ko patutnya sujud syukur banyak-banyak :') walaupun CAM dan result tak dapat lagi pun (doakan mirza dan rakan-rakan ye)
tapi, bad news aha
macam aku cakap, never-ending. tak boleh escape sebab ia adalah process ko nak bawak case ke court. ramai budak-budak lepas mooting terus terkedu dan merenung kembali ape pasal dia gi isi upu law dulu aha ha ha ha *cries in latin*
despite allllllllllllll the hardship, mooting had undoubtedly has taught me MAAAANNNYYYYY things.
one thing for sho', hardwork will never betray you.
ok bye!
good job geng!
kepada co-counsel saya, terima kasih 💞
