Court Work.
It is a fiction that lawyers spend most of their time in the Courts but many spend a considerable portion of it there. Actual experience of case preparation, cross examination and procedure is rare or confined to moots which are usually barely attended.
American Universities make a study of this part of the course. Moots are a regular feature of classes and although difficult to arrange and hold are nevertheless persisted in as essential.
