Moot courts teach the art of advocacy and enhance the ability to convince the judge in an effective way, said Andhra Pradesh High Court judge Justice R. Raghunandan Rao on Saturday,
Speaking after inaugurating a three-day National Moot Court competition, organised by the VIT-AP University School of Law (VSL), in association with Competition Commission of India (CCI), on the campus, Justice Rao said law graduates should also be tech savvy with changing trends in the domain of law. ‘Precision is the hallmark of an advocate.
