SOCIETIES & COMMITTIES
A number of Committees, each comprising an elected/nominated convener, elected/nominated members of the teaching faculty and student volunteers are functioning in the Centre to promote co-curricular activities, such as mooting, debating, legal aid etc.

xiv. Ms. Arti Aneja

The Moot Court Committee is engaged in the co-curricular activity of organizing inter and intra college moot court competitions where the participants take part in simulated court proceedings, usually to include drafting briefs and participating in oral argument.
The basic structure of a moot court competition roughly parallels what would happen in actual appellate practice. Participants will typically receive a problem ahead of time, which includes the facts of the underlying case, and often an opinion from a lower court that is being challenged in the problem. Students must then research and prepare for that case as if they were lawyers or advocates for one or sometimes both of the parties. Depending on the competition, participants will be required to submit written briefs, participate in oral argument, or both. The case or problem is often one of current interest, sometimes mimicking an actual case, and sometimes fabricated to address difficult legal issues.
The Committee ensures that the students seek participation in moot courts for their all-round professional development, as mooting is often a significant factor that employers look for in hiring graduating law students.
