MOOT COURT

Class: 10 & 12 & Date: 05 July 2024

“Knowing law is understanding the difference between knowing what is right to do, and what you have to right to do”-Potter Stewart

The Humanities Association of National Public School, Yeshwanthpur organized ‘MOOT COURT’ on 05 July 2024 for the students of classes 10 to 12. A moot court is an event simulating real courtroom environment, allowing students to associate themselves as a lawyer, by arguing about either hypothetical or real-world cases. It involves identifying legal issues out of a complex factual scenario, followed by doing exhaustive research on those issues to advance arguments with authorities and finally the gruelling orals before a bench of eminent judges. In a nutshell, it is everything a lawyer is expected to do once he starts practising law.  
The students exhibited strong legal reasoning and argumentative skills in an exhilarating courtroom simulation where teams presented and defended a case. They had to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of legal principles, articulate their arguments convincingly and respond adeptly to counter arguments. It provided a valuable learning experience that bridged theoretical knowledge with practical application, enhancing the participant’s understanding of the legal system and their analytical abilities.
