About the Competition

The SJCL National Memorandum Drafting Competition is designed to enhance drafting, research and analytical skills among aspiring lawyers. Drafting, an indispensable skill, is the ‘opus’/ ‘Il faut’ for a law student.

Couched in a legal scenario, participants are required to be prudent and employ their legal acumen. In a nutshell, the competition seeks to bring forth the ‘legisperitus’ in each student.

Participants of the National Memorial Drafting Competition are expected to analyze the facts of the proposition, where key arguments must be rooted in the facts along with apposite legal sources. This will
test the participants’ ability to build logical arguments backed by legal sources and citations.
