About Competition
The moto of the Judgment Writing Competition is to capture the art of decision-making in fledgling Law students and Masters striving to join reputable judicial services, as well as to reveal the dynamic position of Judges in society. The judgement writing competition involves a holistic approach to law in terms of theory and application. The legal arguments based on facts and circumstances, as well as legal precedents and reasoning, set the way for the formulation of judgments. We firmly feel that this competition is an attempt to create a platform for our country’s forthcoming bright legal minds to hone their advocacy abilities and demonstrate their legal expertise. The novelty of this competition is that it allows competitors to hone their drafting abilities and also allowing them to debate the constitutional legality of the laws under which the fact or case was performed.
