About the Society for Debating and Mooting

The Society for Debating and Mooting (SDM) emerged in 2023, succeeding the Moot Court Society, and operates within our institution with a focus on scholarly pursuit and student-driven initiatives. Guided by faculty mentors, notably Mr. Mudassir Rasool Wani, it cultivates students’ mastery of mooting, a vital aspect of legal education.

SDM’s mission is to instil a deep passion for mooting among students, equipping them with essential skills in legal research and argumentation. Through initiatives like Juriscare, a recent donation drive benefiting an orphanage, and the publication of “Lex Eloquentia,” a newsletter highlighting student achievements, SDM exemplifies its dedication to excellence and community engagement.
