Moot Court Association
Government Law College, Mumbai
The Moot Court Association (MCA) of Government Law College was
inaugurated in February 1955 by the then Hon’ble Education
Minister, Mr. Dinkar R. Desai, under the aegis of Principal Mr.
K. R. Mehta.
For a Lawyer to be truly proficient theoretical knowledge does
not suffice and he must acquire exceptional oratory skills. Moot
Courts are thus an effective tool to hone the latter. Moot
Courts provide a perfect platform for law students to delve into
the intricacies of law and avail of an excellent opportunity to
sharpen their advocacy skills. They also enhance a students’
research and analytical abilities. Moots thus enable students to
gain exposure into the practical aspect of the legal
profession.
In
pursuance of its primary objective- to promote and encourage
the activity of Mooting in Government Law College, the Moot
Court Association singularly co-ordinates all the mooting
activities at Government Law College.
In
recognition of Mooting as an imperative co- curricular
activity, the members of the Moot Court Association work
unstintingly to promote and encourage mooting in Government Law
College. This vibrant students’ association hosts the following
