Delving into the history and archive of New Inn, one the now dissolved Inns of Chancery that acted as preparatory schools for the Inns of Court.
The Inn requires volunteers to act as timekeepers for the Rosamund Smith mooting competition which runs from January through to October every year.
Undergraduates are welcome to volunteer for the role. This can be a great way to get first hand experience of moots and an opportunity to interact with (often very senior!) members of the profession.
Moots are scheduled for 17:30 and last approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. There is no formal dress code required for the timekeeper. Early rounds will be held online, so you can timekeep from home!

The Inn is always striving for excellence in what we do, including our catering offering. If you have anything to share, good or bad, on your experience at Inn lunch, please do let us know using this link
