About the Event

The inaugural National Young Lawyers Moot 2024, hosted by Saveetha School of Law in collaboration with the Asian School of Cyber Laws, is poised to redefine legal competitions in India. This pioneering event is scheduled to run from the 31st of May to the 2nd of June, 2024, and aims to establish a new benchmark in the sphere of legal contests across the nation.

The National Young Lawyers Moot is designed as an exceptional platform for young legal practitioners with less than five years of post-qualification experience (PQE) to exhibit their legal expertise and rhetorical skills. Eligibility for the competition is limited to teams of two young lawyers who are officially registered with the Bar Council and have been actively practicing law for no more than five years of PQE. This criterion ensures that the moot court is a battleground of equals, where young lawyers from across the country can measure their legal acumen against their peers.

Centered on criminal law, with a special focus on Cyber law, this event presents a unique challenge for participants to tackle the intricacies of law in the digital era. It encourages them to address and solve contemporary legal dilemmas that hold significant importance in today's global legal framework. Through this event, Saveetha School of Law and the Asian School of Cyber Laws aspire to inspire a new generation of legal professionals who are not only adept at handling the complexities of the law but are also ready to lead the charge in the dynamic field of Cyber law.

Beyond the lure of attractive prize money, the National Young Lawyers Moot stands out as an invaluable opportunity for networking, mentorship, and the exchange of knowledge. Participants will have the chance to connect with seasoned professionals and peers from leading law firms nationwide, facilitating a rich environment for professional growth and collaboration. This aspect of the event underscores its role not just as a competition, but as a catalyst for building a community of young legal practitioners who are well-equipped to navigate the challenges of the legal profession in the 21st century.

Hence, the National Young Lawyers Moot 2024 promises to be more than just a legal competition; it is a comprehensive professional development experience. It offers young lawyers a rare platform to showcase their talents, refine their skills, and engage with the broader legal community.
