Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Shimla, (HPNLU, Shimla) is delighted to announce the fourth edition of the National Moot Court Competition, 2023. The competition is powered by SCC Online and EBC as knowledge partners. This flagship event has been devised with the aim of creating an opportunity for learning the development of jurisprudence on emerging trends in constitutional law, besides armoring the upcoming generations of the legal fraternity with research and oratory skills. The Moot Proposition of the Competition will revolve around constitutional law and related laws. However, the participants will be expected to explore different dimensions of law and not restrict themselves to the theme of the Competition. In the past, HPNLU has successfully conducted two editions of its National Moot Court Competition in virtual mode, and its maiden offline National Moot Court Competition in 2022, which witnessed significant participation of law students from all over India. Keeping up with the spirit of mooting, this year as well, we are delighted to organize our flagship event in the premises of our campus, surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Shimla.
