NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, proudly announces the 18th edition of the Justice Bodh Raj Sawhny Memorial Moot Court Competition, scheduled to be held offline from 26th to 28th September 2025 at the NALSAR campus. The competition is organized in collaboration with the Justice Bodh Raj Sawhny Memorial Trust and supported by the Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy. Over the years, the BRS Moot has gained recognition as one of India's most prestigious constitutional law moots, attracting teams from premier law schools across the country. It offers students an opportunity to enhance their advocacy skills, research abilities, and understanding of constitutional law through rigorous rounds of oral and written submissions.
