Moot court is a simulated court proceeding where students argue fictional legal cases, honing their advocacy, research, and presentation skills.
The Moot Court Hall is designed to replicate a real courtroom environment, providing students with a platform to practice and develop their courtroom skills. It typically features seating for judges, spectators, and the opposing teams, a podium for presenting arguments, and the necessary technology for audio-visual presentations.

They also help students improve their critical thinking, oral communication, and legal research skills. These competitions often involve preparing written briefs and presenting oral arguments based on a fictional case. Judges, who may be professors, legal practitioners, or even actual judges, evaluate the students' performance and provide feedback.
Overall, the LCIT Department of Legal Studies Moot Court Hall is a valuable resource for law students to enhance their practical legal skills and gain hands-on experience in a controlled and supportive environment.
