No descubro que es un libro dedicado a aquellos que se preparan para una competencia de argumentaciones (mooting).
Fue un desconcierto para mi (eso me pasa por no leer las solapas!).
Lejos de ser un concierto de apuntes, checklists o meramente un rejunte de recetas, es correcto el desarrollo de las estrategias en esta clase de competencias.
Los adoradores de las discusiones (y salir siempre airosos e indemnes) festejarán porque existen esta clase de competencias.
Los abogados, bien, a un lado, se verán al espejo.
Se mirarán.
Y se preguntarán.
Porque estoy defendiendo esta verdad... si las verdades son mayormente temporales?

This was a solid book about mooting, perhaps best for those starting out in mooting. Given the scope of this book, it lacks the finer points of mooting and strategy that are best learnt through mooting and experience. With its focus on international mooting competitions, there is still enough for other mooters for this to be a useful guide.
