Mysuru: Inaugurating the National Corporate Law Moot Competition, former judge of the high court of Karnataka Justice Jawad Rahim said, “it is need of the hour that youngsters must come into the system rather than being a spectator. Opting to enter the law field will not put anyone inside the system, it is the amount of involvement which makes you as part of system.”
Earlier, law was taken as the last choice, but today with immense scope, it has emerged as one of the prominent fields of society. The importance of advocates in the society is very vital and also they should have knowledge about all aspects of law though they are masters of a specific field. It is because every field is inter-connected.”
Speaking on the occasion, Karnataka State Open University vice chancellor professor M G Krishnan said, “Corporate companies are absorbing national law schools students. But every law student has to ensure that they should not give up ethics for the interests of corporate world.”
Communication plays a vital role in an advocates life he said, “Communication skills is one of the prominent aspect of the advocacy. A person. had immense law knowledge,but was not able to deliver it appropriately, due to lack of communication skills. He started to practice to speak in front of a mirror, and he was none other than former attorney general of India Soli Sorabjee. Improvising communication skills is also a constant process of learning.”
Members of state bar council C M Jagadeesh, Appaji Gowda, president of bar association B N Chandramouli, executive secretary of JSS university B N Betkerur, principal of JSS law college Suresh, and many others were present.
34 colleges across the country including Amity law school of Delhi, Pune, Noida participated in the 5th national corporate law moot competition organised by JSS law college and Surana and Surana International Attorneys, Chennai
What is moot court?
Mooting is the oral presentation of a legal issue or problem against an opposing counsel and before a judge. It is perhaps the closest experience that a student can have whilst at university to appearing in court. A typical moot problem is concerned solely with a point (or points) of law. Normally it will take the form of a case heard on appeal from a lower court with the grounds of appeal clearly stated.
