• UAP Moot Court Club is a forum that helps students of law to learn the art of mooting, researching, and advocacy skills and internalizing the spirit of layering, since 2015. It envisions the making of such legal minds that with the utmost sense of ethics, morality and justice will thrive in every sphere of the legal arena. Legal training requires the capacity to assess the facts rationally and objectively, apply relevant principles of law and legislation, and bring out reasons and arguments to justify one’s stand. We believe that real-life situations in the legal arena can be known only when the students equip themselves fully with the practical knowledge of the law. Legal education through classroom learning and moot court participation stimulates the learning zeal of students.
