About the Institute and Moot
National Law University and Judicial Academy Assam is a premier law institute in Guwahati, Assam. It is the only NLU in entire North East Region, thus has an inherent responsibility to bring to the light the prominent legal issues of North-East India. The “Vox Anatolis” NMCC was conceptualised in this regard.
“Vox Anatolis” means the voice of the east. National Law University and Judicial Academy Assam had organised the first edition of this Moot Court Competition back in March 2019. Back then, the subject of the Moot was the constitutionality of the Citizenship Amendment Act. When India was oblivion to CAA, we had made it the subject matter of our moot court competition.
This time around the subject of their moot is NRC and the rights of detained foreigners, which is perhaps the next big conundrum that is going to appear in the legal and political horizon of India.
