This institution is known for its teaching methodology and offers UG, PG, and Ph.D. programmes. This school also encourages the students to participate in academic events like moot courts, debates, quizzes, seminars, conferences, workshops, etc. in inter-university and intra-college competitions.

About Vidhi Mahotsava

Maharishi Law School, Maharishi University of Information Technology, Noida, is organising its first ever Law Festival- “Vidhi Mahotsava,” from May 17–20, 2023. The School of Law at our university is hosting this festival to support its objective of expanding the legal arena beyond its confines. The Fest seeks to provide a vibrant arena for students to demonstrate their socio-legal abilities and level of knowledge to provide a platform for students to connect, ponder, and socialize to foster and expose their passion and skills.

The festival will include various cultural performances, events, and various legal competitions, namely a Moot Court Competition, Client Counselling, Legislative Drafting and Judgment Writing. Each of the competitions will have a specific objective and motive to nurture the young minds. For instance, the main purpose of moot court and client counselling is to prepare budding legal minds and give them an opportunity to face the real dilemmas of the legal arena. On the other hand, judgement writing will enhance the practical and theoretical aspects of legal knowledge. It will also help the student’s drafting skills and prepare them for future life challenges.

The university hopes that through this festival, inter-personal interaction, exchange of ideas, and knowledge escalation will be implemented, which will eventually lead to the growth and expansion of dynamic individuals. We hope that this festival provides a fruitful platform and concrete stage for many more years to come.

About Client Counselling

The Client Counselling Competition encourages better awareness and interest among law students in the counselling and preventative law aspects of legal practice. At the lawyer-client interaction in the legal office, it also pushes students to develop interviewing, planning, and analytical abilities. The majority of lawyers’ practice involves both interviewing and counselling clients. Students, law professors, and legal professionals get the chance to exchange knowledge and ideas throughout the Competition in a very beneficial way. This competition aims to improve abilities in areas such as conducting an initial interview with a person who will play the client, attending to the client’s legal and non-legal needs, developing a rapport with the client, identifying the client’s goals, and taking into account any relevant laws.

Eligibility

Students of three-year and five-year law degree courses from any University/Law School/College/Department are eligible to participate in the competition.
