Wildlife Protection Government Law College National Moot Court Competition, 2019 is India’s first wildlife conservation-focused Moot Court Competition. This event marks its first edition this year with the view of creating awareness on the challenges faced by wildlife among law students.
The Moot Proposition of the competition deals primarily with issues relating to wildlife and forest law, highlighting the emerging legal landscape, and has been drafted by experts in the field. The participants will be made to go through extensive Mooting Rounds, to ensure that only the two best teams reach the Final Round of Arguments. All participants are also to present their Written Submissions a month prior to the Competition.
The Moot Court Competition will be conducted over three days where the participating teams will go through two Preliminary Rounds of Argument, Quarter-Final Rounds of Argument, the Semi-Final Rounds of Argument and ultimately, the Final Round of Arguments. Eminent lawyers and Judges of the highest standing in India, academicians and experts in the field of wildlife and forest law shall converge to adjudicate the various rounds of the Competition. The Final Rounds of Arguments will be judged by a distinguished bench of sitting Judges of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court who will grill the participants and evaluate their performances in a somber real-life setting.
