Workshop on Moot Court based on Contract-I@IMSNOIDA.IN

Moot court is a law school activity. It is competition during which students participate in the

preparation of memorials and arguing of cases in front of judges. Students have to select their side whether they are arguing on behalf of petitioner/plaintiff or respondent/defendant and given a set amount of time to prepare for the eventual trial. Moot court members have to research their respective sides, write appellate briefs, and present oral arguments in front of the judges. Judges are free to ask any questions at the time during the presentation, and students must respond accordingly; therefore, a profound understanding of the facts of the case, their arguments, and their opponents' arguments is required. Moot court practices help the students for overall development in the form of communication skills, presentation skills, research, mannerism and courtesy.
