reasonable time to represent its side in
its favour.

and legal journals to support their points of view. The law-
students will enable themselves to find out the ratio decidendi of
the case and examine its validity. Thereby the law-students will
derive conclusions for correct decisions.

The mooters will criticise the judgment of the case in a decent
manner and on reasonable grounds. The mooters will be required
to use soft and decent language during arguments. The criticism
of the judge should be limited to his decision only but not about
his conduct, otherwise it will amount to be a case of contempt of
court.
