Jindal 91ÊÓƵ Law School (JGLS), 91ÊÓƵ (JGU), has announced the launch of the IMAANDAAR Summer Programme in Pre-Law Mooting & Advocacy, a first-of-its-kind residential summer programme for students of Grades 9\u201312. Scheduled to be held from 14 June to 20 June 2026, the programme seeks to introduce high school students to the interdisciplinary foundations of legal education through a rigorous, experiential, and intellectually enriching learning environment.<\/p>\n
The seven-day residential programme will be hosted at IMAANDAAR (International Mooting Academy for Advocacy, Negotiation, Dispute Adjudication, Arbitration & Resolution), home to one of the world\u2019s largest academic moot court facilities, located within the campus of JGU. Conceived as a pioneering initiative in pre-law education in India, the programme combines advocacy, critical thinking, legal reasoning, dispute resolution, public speaking, ethics, and leadership development into a transformative academic experience for young learners.<\/p>\n
Designed and delivered by distinguished faculty members, legal scholars, advocacy trainers, and practitioners, the programme aims to nurture the next generation of legal thinkers, public leaders, and socially conscious citizens. The curriculum moves beyond traditional mooting and courtroom simulations to equip students with analytical, communicative, and problem-solving skills that are increasingly essential across professions and disciplines.<\/p>\n<\/div>
The IMAANDAAR Summer Programme has been carefully curated to combine academic depth with practical engagement. Participants will receive foundational training in:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
