Rules and regulations for the judgment writing competition

This competition has been launched with the objective of inculcating among law students the art of writing lucid judgments. This would not only help them think clearer and write better; but also, would develop their critical thinking abilities. Since the participants would assume the role of a judge, they would be able to look at both sides of a problem and come out with a balanced outcome. Since the competition is focused on third-world issues, the students are required to view the problem at hand from a third-world perspective and come up with their judgments, though references to foreign case laws aren’t prohibited.

The problem for the judgment writing competition would be the same as that of the moot court competition.

  • Last date for registration- 10th April 2023.
