With the objective of getting more people from the legal community interested in conservation and environmental law, the Wildlife Conservation Trust partnered with the Government Law College, Mumbai, to host India’s first ever wildlife conservation-focused moot court competition.
The first edition of the ‘Wildlife Protection Government Law College National Moot Court Competition’ was held from October 11 to 13, 2019. The Moot Proposition of the competition deals primarily with issues relating to wildlife and forest law, highlighting the emerging legal landscape, and has been drafted by experts in the field. The theme of the Moot Proposition this year was ‘Linear Infrastructure and its Impact on Wildlife’.
The participants were made to go through extensive Mooting Rounds to ensure that only the two best teams reached the Final Round of Arguments. All participants were also required to present their Written Submissions a month prior to the Competition.
The Moot Court competition was conducted over three days where the participating teams went through quarter-final, semi-final, and final round of arguments. Eminent lawyers and judges of the highest standing in India, academicians, and experts in the field of wildlife and forest law converged to adjudicate the various rounds of the competition. The Final Rounds of Arguments were judged by a distinguished bench of sitting judges of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court, who grilled the participants and evaluated their performances in a real-life setting.
A unique feature of this competition was a panel discussion which witnessed the representation of eminent personalities from the field of environmental law, wildlife conservation, media, etc.
