Lloyd Law College, Greater Noida, has consistently maintained its pioneering position in legal education within India. The journey from an undergraduate student to a successful professional in today’s competitive landscape is no small feat. At Lloyd, many first-generation aspiring lawyers have discovered their path to realizing their dreams, and our Moot Court Society serves as their guiding force. Mooting holds an esteemed place at Lloyd, where students have garnered accolades and elevated the nation’s pride by outperforming international counterparts in moot courts over recent years.
From initial preparation to personality development, encompassing oration and communication skills, the Lloyd Law College Moot Court Society offers an enriching environment with accomplished mentors. Our expansive, modern library serves as an information hub, housing over 65,000 books alongside research databases like LexisNexis, HEINONLINE, Westlaw India, SSC Online, and JSTOR.
