NUB becomes champion of 7th Henry Dunant Moot
The Moot Court is a simulation of a real court room, where Law students can practice the art of Mooting by arguing legal problems in the form of imaginary cases. It makes a tremendous platform for law students to learn the way of putting a case precisely and intelligibly. Considering this, the Faculty of Law, Dhaka University organised the Seventh Henry Dunant National Memorial Moot Court Competition 2011 in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). ICRC initiated the Henry Dunant Memorial Moot Court Competition, with the aim of promoting better awareness of International Humanitarian Law among law students at different universities from national and regional area. Henry Dunant Moot is contributing significantly in creating a mooting culture amongst the novice legal learners of the region including Bangladesh. This year's National competition [Bangladesh Round] was held on 29 Sept. to 1 Oct. 2011 at Dhaka University with 10 public and private universities attending it. Judges of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh and eminent lawyers adjudged the competition. The final session was held on October 1 presided over by Justice M. A. Wahhab Mia who was also the chief guest at the prize distribution ceremony.
