Jagran lakecity University’s School of law is going to organise a national level moot court competition. Forty prestigious law institutes from across the country, including premier private universities as well as National law Universities, will participate in the competition.
It is worth mentioning that the upper limit for participation was kept 40 while over 60 teams from renowned law institutes approached the organisers regarding the same. The winners will get a prize money of Rs 3.25 lakh.
The moot problem, on which teams are going to argue, relates to an orphan (named Pontos) who goes on to become a leading footballer of the country. He authorises the producers to make a film based on his life. After scrutiny by the Censor Board, the film receives ‘A’ certificate. Aggrieved by this, Pontos files a case against the producers in the Supreme Court.
It is for the first time that an institute is offering a prize money of Rs 3.25 lakh. The winning team will get a cash prize of Rs 1.50 lakh while the runners-up will receive Rs 1 lakh. In addition to this, best speaker, best researcher and best memorial will be getting Rs 25,000 each.
Renowned persons from the legal fraternity viz. bar, bench, academia and industry will judge the preliminary, quarter-final, semi-final and the final rounds of the competition. The inaugural and
valedictory sessions will witness the presence of eminent personalities, including justice, senior advocates and academicians.
