Sameer is one of the Mooting Officers for Michaelmas term and has been a member of the Oxford Bar Society since October, 2018. Having participated in a number of Oxford Bar Society moots and being exposed to advocacy in a mooting situation for the first time by the Oxford Bar Society, he has thoroughly enjoyed being immersed into the complex and exciting nature of mooting.
