In 1999 , five senior students from the University of Latvia Faculty of Law initiated the idea of organizing a national-level moot court competition for law students in Latvia, inviting all universities offering legal studies to participate. The competition was structured into two phases : a written and an oral round . A moot problem was developed, presenting a specific legal issue, allowing participants to construct well-reasoned arguments for both sides of the dispute. Each student team, consisting of 3–4 members , prepared written submissions advocating for both the claimant and the respondent. These submissions were evaluated by experienced legal professionals. The teams with the highest scores in the written round advanced to the oral round, where they had to present their arguments before a panel of judges in a simulated court hearing , representing both the claimant and the respondent . The first moot court problem did not focus on constitutional law
