The Leiden Sarin International Air Law Moot Court Competition
The Leiden Sarin International Air Law Moot Court Competition was launched in India in 2010. It is the brainchild of our Managing Partner, Nitin Sarin and Prof. Pablo Mendes de Leon, Director, International Institute of Air & Space Law (IIASL), Leiden University, the Netherlands.
Based on the discussion between Prof. Pablo and Mr. Nitin Sarin, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the IIASL and the Sarin Memorial Legal-Aid Foundation, the legal aid arm of the Firm to organise the Moot Court annually. The first Moot was held in New Delhi, at the National Law University, Delhi (NLUD) and was inaugurated by Mr. Justice S.S. Nijjar, Judge Supreme Court of India and the then Chief Minister of New Delhi, Late Mrs. Shiela Dixit.
Ten years down the line, the Moot has competition has grown from strength to strength and travelled the world over. The Moot has been organised in New Delhi, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bucharest, Istanbul, Jakarta, Beijing, Malta, Seoul, Chandigarh. Not only does the Moot bring the brightest young minds from across the globe together to compete against each other; it also brings the best experts in the field of air law from around the world to judge the competition year after year.
