Heute berichten wir live aus einem Gerichtsverfahren des Landgerichts Kiel. Na ja, ganz live ist es nicht, es handelt sich nicht um eine „echte“ Verhandlung und in Wirklichkeit fand das Ganze auch nicht in Kiel, sondern in Heidelberg statt, aber genau das ist Sinn und Zweck eines Moot Courts. Dabei handelt es sich nämlich um ein simuliertes Gerichtsverfahren, bei dem Studierende fiktive Fälle bearbeiten und vor Gericht vertreten. Eine praxisnahe Übung, die für die Besten sogar mit einem Auftritt vor dem BGH endet. Wir wünschen ganz viel Erfolg!

Digital Forensics & Moot Court.
Your examiners need it!

What is moot court? Moot court is a learning event where participants take part in simulated court proceedings. For digital forensic examiners they will work a pretend case and analize the related digital media in the same manner they would a real case. Examiner findings will then be scrutinized by others playing the role of defense and prosecuting attorneys, judge, and jury. At the end of the proceeding constructive feedback is provided to the examiner in regards to report content, presentation skills, body language, demeanor, and composure under stress. To make the experience as imersive as possible everyone dresses as they would for court and the room is arranged likewise.

Moot court is one of the most important experiences a new examiner can accrue at the start of their career. Moot court should instill confidence in the examiner that they can present the facts of a case to stakeholders in a clear and consice manner. It should also serve as a way to identify areas to work on.

If possible moot court should be a recurrent event for experienced examiners as well. Everyone benefits by being reminded of how scientific findings suitable for presentation at court is what puts the forensics in digital forensics.
