About the Competition

NALSAR hosts its annual Constitutional Law Moot, Justice B.R.

Rao, Dr Aditya Sondhi, Adv. Gautam Bhatia and many other dignitaries as judges in the previous editions of the competition and have witnessed the participation of the brightest brains in law schools around the country.

The 16th edition of the BR Sawhny Moot Court Competition is scheduled to be held from 13th - 15th October 2023 in an offline format on the university campus. In an attempt to outdo ourselves this time, we have the Vidhi Centre for Policy and Legal Research as our associate sponsor. The teams participating in the final rounds of the moot will be given Internships at VIDHI Centre for Legal Policy. This year's moot proposition has been drafted by Adv. Rishabh Sancheti, Supreme Court of India, which revolves around the issue of the rights of the children and scope of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution along with the issue of legalisation of prostitution.
