About The Moot

Vox Anatolis, or “The Voice of the East”, organised by NLUJAA, uniquely focuses on legal issues pertinent to Northeast India. The subject matter of the competition is dedicated to drawing attention to the rich and complex issues of the Northeast, ensuring that the region's unique perspectives are represented in broader legal discourse. By concentrating on pressing legal questions specific to this part of India, the competition not only fills a significant gap in the moot court circuit but also provides participants with an unparalleled opportunity to engage with matters of critical regional importance.
