    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Bioethics
    • Legal Medicine

    Background:

    • Ethical decision-making is a critical competency for nurses.
    • Traditional pedagogical methods may not fully develop this nebulous ability.
    • There is a need for innovative teaching strategies in nursing ethics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the Moot Court as an innovative pedagogical tool for nursing education.
    • To explore the effectiveness of simulated legal cases in teaching ethical decision-making to nursing students.
    • To provide a practical framework for implementing Moot Court in nursing curricula.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a Moot Court (mock trial) program at the Newfoundland School of Nursing.
    • Students engaged in analyzing and debating legal and ethical dilemmas within a simulated court setting.
    • Facilitation of discussions on the intersection of law, ethics, and nursing practice.

    Main Results:

    • The Moot Court effectively engaged students in exploring complex ethical scenarios.
    • Participants demonstrated enhanced understanding of legal implications in nursing practice.
    • The activity fostered critical thinking and ethical reasoning skills.

    Conclusions:

    • The Moot Court serves as a valuable and unique method for teaching ethical decision-making in nursing.
    • This experiential learning approach can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application of ethics.
    • Nursing schools should consider adopting Moot Court to enhance ethical competency in future nurses.
