About the Birla School of Law Moot Court Competition
The Birla School of Law (BSOL), under Birla Global University, Bhubaneswar, was established in 2018. The school aims to provide legal education for aspiring new-generation lawyers.
The Birla School of Law Moot Court Competition is now entering its third edition. The organisers have designed this national-level competition to provide law students with an opportunity to develop practical advocacy, legal research and courtroom presentation skills.
The 2026 edition will be conducted on 9, 10 and 24 October 2026. It will begin with online rounds and later move to the university campus in Bhubaneswar for the final stages.
The competition also gives participants the chance to compete for awards in categories such as Best Speaker, Best Researcher and Best Memorial.
