About the Competition
Moot courts originated centuries ago in English Inns of Court, where law students practiced advocacy before real judges. Today, mooting is a respected academic exercise across top law schools worldwide training students in legal analysis, courtroom etiquette, and persuasive speaking.
PS Moot Masters is a distinctive, intellectually stimulating platform that brings together students from various schools, engaging them in real-time legal debates and argumentation judged by esteemed law professors, advocates, and judicial officers.
At P.S. Senior Secondary School, we proudly bring this tradition to the school level, creating a dynamic platform where young minds simulate real court proceedings and argue constitutional questions with clarity and conviction.
