universities participated. Among them, BUP and Brac University qualified for
the final round. In the grand finale, BUP crowned the champion and Brac
University became the 2nd runner-up.
Hon’ble Chief Justice in his speech said that a career in law
often provides situations in which professionals are required to use their wits
and research to come up with a solution to navigate through the complexities of
the legal challenges they face. A moot court competition sets the groundwork
for that process from the beginning. Therefore, the law students are entitled
to this experience. He also said that the endeavor of BUPLMCC to organize a
national-level competition is so appreciable. He hoped that law students have
had the opportunity to interact with judges and academics from across the
country and they surely gained a unique experience of learning how courtroom
proceedings do play out in real life. He specifically alluded that one needs to
have some qualities like honesty in mind, hardworking, a lot of study,
adherence to religious rules, and good human behavior to all in order to be a
good judge.
Among others, BUP high officials, invited
guests, judges, BUP faculty members and students were present in the programme.
