Price Media Law Moot Court Competition - South Asia Regional Rounds
The Price Media Law Moot Court - South Asia Regional Rounds will be held in collaboration with the Centre for Media Governance, NLU Delhi in Delhi, India from 23th -26th November, 2012.
As part of the expansion of the Price Moot Court Programme in South Asia, this year's competition will see teams from the region traveling to Delhi for the South Asia Round. Victory for NALSAR University of Law, Hyderbad in the International Round of the Competition in March 2012 was a testament to the quality of mooting in India and we are sure that the competition for places in the International Rounds will intensify this year.
The extremely high quality of judging has become a feature of the South Asia Regional Rounds and this year's competition will see a fantastic line-up of judges as well. Teams from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and India interested in participating in the International Rounds in Oxford must necessarily qualify through the South Asia Regional Rounds.
