Faculty and students of Kohima Law College during the moot court exercise held in Kohima.
Kohima, May 22 (MExN): Kohima Law College conducted a moot court exercise to bridge the gap between theoretical legal education and practical courtroom experience, reaffirming the institution’s commitment to experiential learning and professional legal training.
As part of the exercise, students were assigned two moot propositions based on Constitutional Law and Contract Law, requiring them to examine complex legal issues, prepare memorials, and present arguments from both the petitioner and respondent sides.
The proceedings provided participants with a simulated courtroom environment where their legal reasoning, advocacy and analytical abilities were tested.
The moot court proceedings were conducted by Assistant Professor Kekhriesilie Richa and advocate Teisozelhou Beio, who guided and evaluated the students on advocacy skills, interpretation of law, courtroom etiquette, clarity of arguments and responsiveness during rebuttals.
The exercise witnessed active participation and intellectual engagement from students, reflecting academic preparation as well as a growing culture of critical legal discourse within the institution.
Through simulated judicial proceedings and rigorous argumentation, students were encouraged to view law not merely as a subject of study but as an instrument of justice, constitutional morality and social responsibility.
The programme underscored the importance of moot court exercises in shaping future legal professionals capable of balancing legal knowledge with ethics, articulation and practical courtroom competence.
