The Second Edition of the CNLU-CCI National Moot Court Competition was organized in collaboration with the Competition Commission of India and in association with JSA Advocates & Solicitors and the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM). With the presence of these organisations, CARCIL CNLU aimed to ensure that the students are provided with as realistic an impression of Anti-trust Law as possible.

For ensuring maximum inclusivity to make the competition truly national without losing out on the experience of high-stakes on-campus mooting, the competition was organised in a hybrid format. Pursuant to this, the inaugural ceremony along with the preliminary and quarterfinal rounds were held virtually on the 18th and 19th of March, 2023, while the semi-final and final rounds were held on 8th of April, 2023, on the campus of Chanakya National Law University, Patna.

ABOUT THE ORAL ROUNDS
Preliminary Rounds, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, and Final Rounds were the four phases of the Oral Rounds.
