About the third world moot court and judgement writing competition

The third-world moot court and judgement writing competition, launched by Kshitizz NGO is a first-of-its-kind competition, where the third world issues would be focused on. It would enable the participants to learn the nuances of different legal subjects and their practical applications, which would help them in refining their skills. The competition would also provide them with a platform to interact with dynamic professionals from the field, as well; thus, enhancing their exposure, further.

While learning the laws would be the primary focus of the competition, it would also strive towards sensitizing the participants on third-world issues so as to enable them in coming up with more sensitive and unique solutions, which would befit the third-world problems.
