Over the years, KIU has been hosting moot competitions to encourage students to appreciate competition and always involve themselves in court processions taking place in the moot court because this elevates and builds the lawyers of tomorrow who will not theorize, but act the law.

Having conducted the moot court sessions on Saturday and Monday, the winning competitors classified in various groups have proceeded from the High Court to the Constitutional court and will proceed to the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

As the competitions carry on till Wednesday, all eyes are on the prize as the KIU Law community awaits the final winner of the competitions come Wednesday, May 26th.

Besides KIU, other universities and institutions hold moot Court competitions all over the world.
