The event
Advocacy, tested in a real hearing room
Since 2018 the Ciarb Australia Pre Moot has given teams two days of hearings before three-member tribunals of practising arbitrators, with written and oral feedback after every round.
Two days of hearings
Every team argues both claimant and respondent, four times across the weekend.
Practising tribunals
Three-member tribunals drawn from the Ciarb Australia membership and the Sydney bar.
Feedback, not just scores
Oral reasons after each hearing and a written scoresheet for every speaker.
Pre Moot 2026
Forty-eight teams, ten host chambers, one hearing room at a time.
