ABOUT THE CENTRE:

The Moot Court Association (MCA) is a student-run body and is guided by the Faculty In-charge to achieve its objective of inculcating an interest in mooting among the students by developing and honing their research and oratory skills. In order to help over 200 students to excel in various national and international moot court and trial advocacy competitions organized within the country and outside, MCA organizes Zenith, Knockout Rounds and the Challenger Series. To this end, the MCA has adopted a rigorous review process to mentor and guide the students in their preparation for external competitions. The MCA annually conducts Zeal which is a Moot Court Competition mandatorily held for first-years to facilitate the growth of their research and advocacy skills. The MCA also conducts its flagship National Moot Court Competition hosting 30 Law Schools and legal professionals from all over the country.
