Law Centre-II, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, has officially announced the 10th edition of the S.K. Puri Memorial International Moot Court Competition, popularly known as JUSTIFIED 2026. The flagship international moot court competition will be conducted from 20 to 22 November 2026 at Umang Bhawan, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi.
Organised by the Moot Court Society of Law Centre-II, the competition marks a significant milestone as it enters its tenth edition, continuing a legacy that has become a prominent platform for legal advocacy, research, and courtroom simulation for law students across India and abroad.
This year's moot proposition centres on the theme: “Accountability of Judicial and Quasi-Judicial Institutions in Aiding the Commission of Crimes Prohibited under International Law.” The proposition is designed as a simulated trial that will test participants' understanding of international criminal law, advocacy techniques, procedural law, and cross-examination skills.
According to details released by the organisers, the competition will be conducted in an offline format and is expected to attract participation from law schools and universities from multiple jurisdictions. Participants will engage in memorial drafting and oral advocacy rounds before experienced legal professionals and academicians.
The S.K. Puri Memorial Moot Court Competition was instituted in memory of Shri S.K. Puri and has evolved into one of the flagship academic events of Law Centre-II. Over the years, the competition has provided aspiring lawyers with opportunities to develop practical legal skills, engage with complex questions of international law, and interact with members of the legal fraternity.
As legal education increasingly emphasizes experiential learning, competitions such as JUSTIFIED 2026 play an important role in bridging the gap between classroom instruction and courtroom practice. The tenth edition is expected to further strengthen the competition's reputation as a premier platform for nurturing future advocates and legal scholars.
🤖 Key Takeaway
While not a court case, the competition highlights the growing importance of international criminal law and experiential legal education. The moot proposition encourages participants to examine accountability mechanisms for judicial and quasi-judicial institutions in situations involving serious international crimes.
