Moot Court competitions have become an essential feature of Law colleges. Moot Court Competitions groom the students by developing their argumenting, lawyering, analyzing as well as communication skills.

Since 2015 State /National Level Moot Court Competitions have been conducted every year. 3. Context –College’s Moot Court Society has been organizing Fresher’s Intra, Inter & National Moot Court Competitions for shaping professional skills. 4. Practice: A body of students formed by conducting election. A society and Faculty member conduct the said event and encourages the students for maximum participation. Every faculty member allocates a case as well the sides to the students who are interested in participating in this activity. On a scheduled day and time these students present the said case before the concerned faculty. Needed guidance and assistance is given by the faculty members. This activity inculcates a habit of reading judgments and doing research among the students. It also develops their debating, communication and analyzing skills.

During 2018 -19 two Intra-College Moot Competitions, One Fresher’s Moot Court Competition and One National Moot Court Competitions were held in the

Academic year 2018-19. Upon inception of the society, the organization of these events was taken over by a student body under the aegis of the staff, rather than the entire event being a staff organized endeavor. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: – Due to delayed CET Admission fresher’s are unable to participate in the Intra Moot court competition and also it becomes difficult for the students to participate in outside moot court competitions as the semester is short and they are new. But, the problem was solved by conducting different competitions for First Year students. For most of the competitions, faculty members only were made judges and therefore no additional resources were required.
