Pune Law Students Win National Moot Court Competition

Law students Bhavika Sikka and Urja Mihir Nagda just proved that hard work and sharp legal minds can take you to the top. The duo from Symbiosis Law School, Pune, won the National Moot Court Competition, beating teams from law schools across India.

The competition was organized by the All India Lawyers Union, Ernakulam District Committee, and the National University of Advanced Legal Studies. Moot court competitions simulate real courtroom scenarios, giving students a chance to argue cases before actual judges and sharpen their advocacy skills.

Kerala Law Academy Law College came in second place, represented by Mathew George K. and Vaishnavi Nagaraj. The competition was fierce, with law schools from across the country sending their best students to compete.

Nagda earned double recognition by winning the Best Speaker award in the finals. Anvita Tripathi took home the Best Speaker award for the preliminary rounds, showing that strong individual performances came from multiple schools.

NUALS and O.P. Jindal Global University shared the award for Best Argument Note in the preliminaries. High Court Judge Justice Easwaran S. inaugurated the valedictory session, recognizing the students' achievements.

Why This Inspires

These competitions do more than just hand out trophies. They prepare the next generation of lawyers, judges, and legal advocates who will shape India's justice system for decades to come.

The students spent months researching legal precedents, crafting arguments, and practicing their courtroom presence. Their dedication shows that young people are investing serious energy into making our legal system better and more effective.

These future lawyers are already learning to think critically, argue persuasively, and stand up for what's right. That's the kind of preparation our country needs.
