About Kourtology: “Kourtology” which refers to “the study of courts” aims at providing
budding lawyers with a platform to learn the practical insights to working of a court.

Model Trial Court Competition: With the help of “Model Trial Virtual Court Competition”
Kourtology brings a new method for law students to get an in-depth knowledge on how the
courts proceedings transpire. It aims to provide law students with the opportunity to draft
pleadings similar to what is filed in actual courts. Similarly, it gives an opportunity to
students to present their cases as they are presented before a court. Given the situation during
the on-going pandemic, the functioning of the courts had a paradigm shift, introducing the
concepts of E-courts, which is another prospect that Model Trial Virtual Court Competition
desires to fulfill.

environment of professionalism and maintaining the court etiquettes. In short, the aim is to
unleash the lawyer within you.
