Inferences from the Compromis: Corfu Channel Case (UK v Albania) [1949] ICJ 6, 18: "The Court must examine therefore whether it has been established by means of indirect evidence that Albania has knowledge of mine-laying in her territorial waters independently of any connivance on her part of this operation. The proof may be drawn from inferences of fact, provided that they leave no room for reasonable doubt. The elements of fact on which these inferences can be based may differ from those which are relevant to the question of connivance.”

** "... When we have to argue, we develop our own local strategy. We call it the 1-2-3 strategy or facts, law and policy. When you have to argue, which one you should say first? Facts, law or policy? We say that no, we will go for the facts first because the agreed first or facts or whatever the facts are there, it's very important and we can show them first. The we can use the law, and then the policy is the last argument we can do. So these are the strategy we try to use in our roadmap and everything. ...": Rajesh Sharma, 'The Aer and Science of Advocacy' (Legal English in Hong Kong, Video Transcript, 2017) <https://legalenglish.hk/wp-content/uploads/Dr-Rajesh-Sharma-The-art-and-science-of-advocacy-transcript-20170803.pdf>, archived at <https://web.archive.org/web/20240615180456/https://legalenglish.hk/wp-content/uploads/Dr-Rajesh-Sharma-The-art-and-science-of-advocacy-transcript-20170803.pdf>; video: <https://legalenglish.hk/dr-rajesh-sharma-the-art-and-science-of-advocacy/>.

> "The book is a very useful guide for both new and experienced coaches, as we explore below. In the competitive, practice-oriented way in which it frames mooting, however, it also represents some tensions we have found latent in the structure of moot court competitions – tensions we think it is high time for international law scholarship to take seriously. ... We write this review from two perspectives. In pedagogical terms, we have a deep investment in mooting. We have between us over 15 years of mooting experience, predominantly with the Jessup, participating first as competitors and then going on to serve as coaches, judges and teachers of moot skills courses. In terms of our research, however, we approach international law from a decidedly critical perspective, one that would be uneasy with, even hostile towards, the kind of doctrinal view espoused by moot court practices. In our own experience, we have found mooting to both support and trouble our critical approach to international law, and we want to explore that tension here, in contrast with the way in which mooting is presented by Thomas and Cradduck."
