As part of the activities marking the Gregory University College of Law Week, held from 23rd June to 29th June, 2025, the College hosted a Moot Court trial aimed at enhancing practical learning by helping students apply legal theories to real-life scenarios.
The fictional court proceedings featured two parties, with a total of ten counsels; five representing the Prosecution and five representing the Defense, in a mock murder trial.
During the event, the Dean of the College, A’Prof Angela Ngozi Chioke encouraged the scholars to take the Moot Court trial seriously, emphasizing that it is, first and foremost, an academic exercise meant to build competence and confidence. She noted that the experience would significantly contribute to their legal knowledge and better prepare them for effective practice beyond the university walls.
She also urged the students to be diligent and to seize every opportunity to learn, stating that consistent effort and dedication would enable the College to attain its rightful place of pride both nationally and globally.
Earlier, A’Prof Chioke presented certificates to a group of scholars who had represented the university at the Wahab Egbewole National Disability Rights Moot Competition held at the University of Ilorin.
Gregory University Uturu College of Law were among the top five universities at the end of the competition, highlighting the institution’s growing reputation in legal education.
