Prof GS Bajpai, Vice-Chancellor, RGNUL, said that moot court competitions were an effective way to prepare law students for appellate advocacy. “Mooting is not only about presenting propositions of law but also is about applying proposition to argue for required results,” he added. He said, “Mooting enhances legal drafting, writing, researching and speaking skills. It also improves the spirit of teamwork.”
