EVENTS OF JUSTA CAUSA


1. NATIONAL MOOT COURT COMPETITION

To moot means to bring something to a discussion. In a figurative sense,


Moot Court means Hypothetical case or hearing/ trial. The aim of Moot Court
activity is to groom the budding lawyers. It trains the students of law to create
links between theory and practice. Moot court competition provides a platform to
the law students to show case their mooting talent. It also is a way for the students
to learn from their peer group. Taking into consideration this significance of moot
court competition, we include this competition in the Law Festival. The judges for
the preliminary and semi-final rounds of the competitions are eminent practicing
lawyers. The final round of the moot court competition will be judged by sitting
Honble Judges of the Bombay High Court, Nagpur Bench, Nagpur.

2. NATIONAL SEMINAR

Seminars have unique characteristics of bringing several people to share


their knowledge and experiences and views on a chosen topic. It inspires the
delegates to view the topics from various angles and give their observations based
on their scientific study. Since the seminar provides an opportunity to the students
also to express their views on the selected topic before the elite and educated
audience it helps them to develop the confidence for public speaking.
In view of the above mentioned significance of the seminar, our JUSTA
CAUSA festival has national seminar as an integral event for last several years.
This year since we have chosen the topic of Health Laws as a theme of the JUSTA
CAUSA festival, the choice of Health Laws in India-Issues and Challenges as
the theme of National Seminar, was the natural and obvious choice.

3. NATIONAL LEGAL DRAFTING COMPETITION

The legal drafting competition provides an opportunity to the students to


develop their drafting skill which is hallmark of a successful lawyer. In this
competition, a legal problem will be given to the participants along with the
research material. The participants will have to draft the case within the stipulated
time. These written submissions will then be judged by a panel of judges. The
National Drafting Competition shall be conducted by Moot Court Association.

4. NATIONAL LAW QUIZ COMPETITION

A quiz is a form of game or mind sport in which the participants attempt


to answer the questions correctly. Quiz competitions are very beneficial for the
students to improve and expand their breadth of knowledge. Such competitions
also aid in team building process and provoke discussion and healthy debate
amongst the participants. Therefore, for the aspiring and inquiring minds of the
law students, the college has organized a national level quiz competition called
Justa Quizza. It shall be a brain storming session where workable questions
shall be asked to test the in depth knowledge of the participants.

5. NATIONAL DEBATE COMPETITION

Every law student must be a good communicator. Good communication


requires critical thinking and creativity. These skills are enhanced by social
interaction and personal expression. Therefore, for the very first time, the college
is providing a platform of a National Level Debate Competition to the budding
lawyers to develop their skills of communication and public speaking.

RULES FOR THE NATIONAL SEMINAR


TWO -DAYS NATIONAL SEMINAR (21st& 22nd Jan, 2016)
THEME- HEALTH LAWS IN INDIA: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
I.

ABOUT THE SEMINAR:

Health and well being are deeply personal matters but being on the
receiving end of it is what gives us new awareness on various aspects related to
health. Every human has a right to highest attainable standard of physical and
mental health. This right to health has thus evolved a whole system for protection
of health. It ensures that every human has equal access to good quality of services
for maintenance of sound health. Indian judiciary has recognized right to health as
an indispensable part of right to life under article 21. Right to Life does not
connote merely animal existence rather it has a much wider meaning which
includes right to health and medical care being essential for making the life of
every person meaningful and purposeful with dignity of person. It is a basic
human and fundamental right, as recognized in landmark cases like State Of
Punjab Vs. Mohinder Singh Chawla; Parmanand Katara Vs. Union Of India, etc.
Thus right to health was held as an as integral part of right to life and government
has constitutional obligations to provide health facilities and medical services. At
the same time, implementation of right to health has its own highest challenges.
Access to healthcare is compromised with poor services, deficient resources, lack
of effective policies and legislations and similar hurdles. The role of local
authorities thus arises to ensure creation and maintenance of appropriate
conditions for protection and promotion of health of citizens. Being a mediatory
between government and society as a whole, the local bodies, municipal
corporations, health departments, etc play a vital role in safeguarding right to
health of public. Science and technology being synonymous to progress, also have
an important role to play in promoting and protecting health of people. Recent
trends like organ transplantation, medical research, patenting, etc have raised
many issues of ethics, morality quality, affordability and accessibility. Intellectual
Property Rights acts as an incentive to innovators whereas on the other hand, the
beneficiaries of technologies feel economically exploited. The IPR laws,
therefore, must strike a balance between these conflicting and competing values.
Apart from this, there is a need to have other legislations also to address the
ethical, moral and social issues arising out of technological advances and thus we
have legislations like The Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1994;
Biomedical Waste Management and Handling Rules, 1998; Drugs And Cosmetics
Act, 1940, etc. Being directly related to the well being of an individual,
JUSTA CAUSA BROCHURE

maintenance of specific standards of nutrition, safe disposal of bio medical waste,
