1. Competition Introduction

The Beijing University Student Moot Court Competition is an innovative public welfare initiative and practical learning experience for higher education students. It is designed to advance the pedagogical transformation of legal education in universities, foster a spirit of collaboration among future legal professionals, expand their academic perspectives, and enhance their practical and creative skills. This competition embraces the philosophy of being "government-supported, expert-guided, student-focused, and community-involved." It follows the rigorous protocols of actual courtroom proceedings, with competition cases drawn directly from real-life legal scenarios. The adjudicating panel for each round features distinguished members from the judicial community, including representatives from the courts, procuratorates, and the legal profession.

II. Historical Achievements

The representative team from the BNU Law School has consistently engaged in this competition over multiple sessions, achieving exemplary outcomes. Over the past six years of the Beijing University Student Moot Court Competition, our team has secured the first-place trophy on four occasions, and several of our distinguished team members have been honored with the title of best debater.

III. Schedule
