This chapter deals with the moot judge and judgment. It addresses the following questions: How is the moot judge's assessment divided between the moot and the law? Is it possible to lose on the law and win on the moot? What actions should be taken if the moot judge has misunderstood a point? What actions should be taken if a moot judge's manner is rude? Can the moot judge and my opponents be interrupted or corrected? What actions should be taken if the moot judge's question is misunderstood? How can judicial questions be turned to an advantage? Will a moot judge make a ruling on the arguments before the conclusion of the moot?

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
