The 20th edition of the D. M. Harish Memorial Government Law College International Moot Court Competition (“DMH”), hosted by Government Law College, Mumbai, India, in association with the D. M. Harish Foundation.

The Competition is scheduled to be held from 8th – 10th February, 2019.  

DMH is India’s first International Moot Court Competition and started in the year 2000 as a National Moot Court Competition. However, it has been open to international entrants since the past thirteen years. The competition is the most acclaimed moot court competition in India and has over the years given an opportunity to law students across the world to develop plenary skills in the area of advocacy.

The case study of the competition deals primarily with issues relating to International Law, highlighting the emerging legal landscape and has been drafted by experts in the field. Judges of the highest regard in India, academicians and experts in the field of International Law arrive in Mumbai to adjudicate the competition.

In the past years, the Final Rounds of Argument have been judged by a bench of five sitting judges of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court.

The participants are made to go through extensive Mooting Rounds, to ensure that only the two best Teams reach the Final Round of Arguments.

All participants are also to present their Written Submissions tentatively a month prior to the Competition. The Moot Court Competition is conducted over 3 days where the participating teams go through two Preliminary Rounds of Argument where they would be arguing each side once, Octo-Final Round of Arguments, Quarter-Final Round of Arguments, the Semi-Final Round of Arguments and finally, the Final Round of Arguments.

A unique feature of our Competition is a Panel Discussion that is held on a topic revolving around the subject of the Statement of Facts which witnesses the representation of eminent personalities from the fields of law, politics, media, etc.
