About the Competition
Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Shimla, (HPNLU, Shimla) is delighted to announce the third edition of the National Moot Court Competition, 2022 in association with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). The competition is powered by SCC Online and EBC as knowledge partners. This flagship event has been devised with the aim to create an opportunity for learning the development of jurisprudence on emerging trends in constitutional law and human rights law, besides armoring the upcoming generations of the legal fraternity with research and oratory skills. The Moot Proposition of the Competition will revolve around constitutional law, human rights, and related laws.
However, the participants will be expected to explore different dimensions of law and not restrict themselves to the theme of the Competition. In the past, HPNLU has successfully conducted two editions of its National Moot Court Competition in virtual mode, which witnessed significant participation of law students from all over India. Keeping up with the spirit of mooting, this year as well, we are delighted to organize our flagship event in association with NHRC, in the premises of our campus, surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Shimla. We cordially invite your Law School/ University/ Institution/ College etc. to participate in the Competition.
About the NHRC

The NHRC is an embodiment of India’s concern for the promotion and protection of human rights. Section 2(1)(d) of the PHRA defines Human Rights as the rights relating to life, liberty, equality, and dignity of the individual guaranteed by the Constitution or embodied in the International Covenants and enforceable by courts in India.
