Instruction in advocacy courses and Moot Court activities is essential for developing the practical competencies of law students; however, many students lack a comprehensive understanding of actual court proceedings, particularly regarding judicial roles, procedural stages, and litigation techniques under civil procedure. This challenge is especially evident in inheritance cases, which involve complex factual, evidentiary, and legal issues. Accordingly, this project promotes theory–practice integration through academic seminars and hands-on workshops led by an experienced judge, enabling students to gain insight into court proceedings from a judicial perspective and to apply this knowledge effectively in Moot Court competitions and future legal practice.
Project Coordinator: Asst. Prof. Pimprapai Snitwongse Na Ayudhya
Objectives:
The objectives of this project are to enhance students’ knowledge and understanding of court proceedings, particularly inheritance cases; to develop advocacy skills, including factual and legal argumentation and courtroom strategy; to deepen students’ understanding of the roles and perspectives of judges; to prepare students for Moot Court competitions and legal practice; and to promote experiential and active learning.
Program Activities:
The project is implemented through a combination of a special lecture and practical training. An experienced judge delivers an academic lecture on court procedures and inheritance litigation from a judicial perspective, followed by hands-on workshop sessions in which students practice advocacy skills through simulated court proceedings, allowing them to apply legal theory in realistic courtroom scenarios.
Expected Outcomes (Impacts):
Students acquire systematic knowledge and practical skills in court proceedings that closely reflect real judicial practice, gain greater confidence in advocacy and litigation, and enhance the academic and professional quality of advocacy courses and Moot Court activities. The faculty and program can utilise the project to support the development of CLOs and PLOs, while strengthening academic collaboration between the Faculty of Law and the judiciary.
Date of Implementation: February 21, 2026
