1. Competition Introduction

The Beijing University Student Moot Court Competition is a pioneering public welfare initiative and practical exercise for university students, designed to advance the pedagogical transformation of legal education in higher institutions. This event nurtures a spirit of collaboration among future legal professionals, expands their academic perspectives, and enhances their practical and innovative skills. The competition embraces the philosophy of "government-supported, expert-guided, student-focused, and community-engaged." It strictly follows the formal court trial process, with competition cases drawn directly from real-life legal scenarios. The adjudicating panel for each round consists of esteemed professionals from the judicial sector, including members of the judiciary, prosecution services, and the legal profession.
