ABOUT SURANA & SURANA ACADEMIC INITIATIVES
For over 28 years, the firm has hosted, administered, and supported a dozen moot court events each year. It is crucial to understand the larger picture of this mammoth initiative, which is now the world’s largest moot court program. Hon’ble Justice Krishna Iyer, during one of his stay with the Surana Family in the late 1980s spoke at length with the firm’s Founder, Mr. P.S Surana on the need & importance of developing young advocates with strong advocacy abilities. He was particularly concerned that talented young law graduates were leaving the Bar to join the corporate sector, thereby depriving the Bar of strong talent. Inspired by this interaction, Mr. P.S. Surana designed a well-structured and transparent moot court competition platform to provide law students with an opportunity to hone their talents in oral and written advocacy, as well as legal research. Surana & Surana has conducted more than 350 Moot Court competitions with more than a dozen every year besides judgment writing, arbitral award, and essay competitions. The moot court advisory board has over the years had about 50 members at various points in the journey from Chief Patron (Late) Fali S Nariman to designated Senior Advocates and distinguished Academicians.
