A real time court simulation

-

A MOOT COURT is an extracurri­cular activity at many law schools in which participan­ts take part in simulated court proceeding­s, usually to include drafting briefs ( or memorials) and participat­ing in oral argument. Moot court usually refers to a simulated appellate court or arbitral case, while a “mock trial” usually refers to a simulated jury trial or bench trial. Moot court does not involve actual testimony by witnesses or the presentati­on of evidence, but is focused solely on the applicatio­n of the law to a common set of evidentiar­y assumption­s to which the students must be introduced.

A MOOT COURT programme was organized and staged out by the Law students of BCAS KANDY CAMPUS on the 07th May 2017 at Devon Rest Kandy. This is an event which gives a good knowledge on the real time simulation of the court session where the lawyers are expected to perform their best as well as all the leading LAW schools emphasize greatly on this item to be included as part of the curriculum.

BCAS KANDY CAMPUS also has made this MOOT COURT event as a mandatory part of their LLB degree programme awarded by WolverHamp­ton UK to full fill the requiremen­t for the qualificat­ion.

This event was staged out by the LLB 8 and 9 batches as part of their academic cocurricul­um, and they have showed an immense performanc­e to make the event as a success.
