The Moot Court Committee of Asian Law College organized the Judgment Analysis Competition on the 26th and 27th of November 2024, in honor of Constitution Day (Samvidhan Diwas). This event was designed to cultivate critical thinking and legal research skills among students by encouraging them to explore judicial reasoning and its societal implications. Serving as a dynamic platform for aspiring legal professionals, the competition enabled participants to sharpen their advocacy abilities, present well-structured arguments, and engage in meaningful academic discussions. Over the course of two days, the event not only celebrated the essence of the Constitution but also promoted analytical excellence and legal scholarship, leaving a profound impact on all who participated.
The Preliminary Round, held on 26th November 2024, witnessed participation from a large number of students across the B.A. LL. B. and LL. B. Batches, the participants were divided into four rooms for the initial assessment, where each presented their analysis of a recent landmark judgment, the judgment selected by the students out of 5 judgments given as options, focusing on critical elements such as the facts of the case, issues raised, the ratio decidendi, and the judgment’s societal impact. The students also offered their interpretations of how the judgment contributed to the evolution of constitutional jurisprudence. The Preliminary Round showcased high levels of intellectual rigor, as participants demonstrated their ability to dissect complex legal principles and present their insights cohesively. Based on their performance, Top-8 students were advanced for the final round.
The Final Round of the competition, held on 27th November 2024, showcased the Top 8 finalists presenting their judgment analyses to a distinguished panel of academic experts, including Ashish Bhardawaj (Associate Dean, Asian Law College) and Dr. Md. Khalid (Professor, Asian Law College). Participants were assessed on multiple criteria, such as the articulation of legal arguments, depth of research, clarity of presentation, and their ability to connect their analyses to broader constitutional principles. The judges engaged the finalists in a rigorous Q&A session, further challenging their understanding and reasoning. The competition concluded with the announcement of the Best Judgment Analyst, who was honored with a trophy, a mini Bare Act of the Constitution of India, and a certificate.
