NOTE BY PRINCIPAL

Mooting is an attempt to engage the students with the real process of court functioning, this is made possible through the 4th SJCL National Moot Court Competition, 2024. At St. Joseph’s College of Law, we believe in equipping our students with the key skills of advocacy. We are keen to produce young lawyers who not only cater to the requirements of the corporate world but are committed to the cause of producing lawyers who may be engineers of social change.

The mooting process helps the student to engage with and think deeply about interesting legal issues. It also enhances their advocacy, legal research, and writing skills. Mooting provides students with a platform to demonstrate their interest in advocacy.

The vision statement of St. Joseph’s College of Law aptly titled “Practice law, Promote Justice, Transform Society” captures our efforts in this direction. I am sure that with all our efforts together we can dream of a better world, an equal society that embraces all. I extend a warm welcome to students to participate in the 4th SJCL National Moot Court Competition, 2024.

Warm Regards,
Dr. Pauline Priya S.
Principal
