Visakhapatnam: GITAM Deemed to be University School of Law is organising 'Dr M V V S Murthi National Moot Competition on Space Law 2020' from March 5 to 8, informed School Dean and Director R Anita Rao here on Saturday.
GITAM Moot and Advocacy Committee (GMAC) is making all arrangements to conduct the event, she added.
Explaining the rationale for selecting a problem on Space Law, Anita Rao said that more awareness was required on space contests among students, particularly career-focused law students. In India, unsurprisingly, only a handful of law firms were aware of space laws as a practice, she observed.
She briefed about the moot problem and how it will revolve around the kind of agreements needed to regulate the activities of space through creating enforcement mechanisms, addressing liability allocation and other legal and physical realities of space activities considering that objects move, information gathered and transmitted, resources must be discovered, contracts entered into and torts committed. She hoped that the platform will provide an opportunity for participants to engage in more futuristic thinking for challenges they experience.
A panel of judges comprising academicians, policymakers, bar and bench having expertise in the area of Space Law would be judging various rounds.
The finals would be held on March 8 and would be judged by an eminent panel comprising Andhra Pradesh High Court Judge D V S S Somayajulu, Telangana High Court Judge Challa Kodanda Ram and Professor of Law and Registrar NALSAR University of Law Prof V Balakista Reddy.
Teams from leading Law Schools like NUSRL-Ranchi, RGNUL-Patiala, DSNLU-Visakhapatnam, HNLU-Raipur, NLU-Odisha, School of Excellence Chennai, Symbiosis Law School, Drabber Ambedkar College of Law (A.U.), among others, have registered for the moot.
