Solan, October
Shoolini University Law students Anwesha, Riya and Prakriti won the Intra Moot Court Competition 3.0 at Shoolini University on Wednesday. They topped the competition after two days of mock court hearings organised by the Faculty of Legal Sciences to give students hands-on courtroom training.
Teams were tested on legal research, drafting, argument and how well they handled questions from the bench.
The preliminary and semi-final rounds took place on the first day, with faculty members acting as judges. Students presented their arguments on the moot problem, interpreted the law and defended their positions under questioning.
Advocate Kuldeep Thakur and Advocate Deepali Thakur of the Himachal Pradesh High Court judged the final. They also shared practical advice with the students on the realities of legal practice.
The team of Silveria, Divya and Pridhi finished as runners-up. Prince was named Best Speaker, while the award for Best Memorial went to Saransh, Shivina and Harshita. The winners received their awards at the closing ceremony.
The event was convened by Mr Vineet Kumar, Assistant Professor, with Ms Yugasha Gargey, Assistant Professor, as co-convenor. It was organised under the guidance of Prof (Dr) Kamaljeet Singh, Professor Emeritus and Dean, and Prof Renu Pal Sood.
Mr Vinit Kumar thanked the university leadership, the visiting advocates, the faculty judges and the student volunteers for their support in organising the event.
Prof (Dr) Kamaljeet Singh, said Moot courts allow law students to practise what they learn in the classroom in a setting close to a real court. The competition is an effort to build students’ confidence, reasoning and teamwork.
