About Trial Advocacy Committee
TNNLU’s Trial Advocacy Committee (“TAC”) was established in 2019, out of the hope of making students more invested in and knowledgeable about criminal law and the complex procedures involved in criminal trials.
The committee’s strong dedication to its goals is shown in the diverse range of activities it has organized in the past and the aim of continuing to do so in the future. The Intra-University Trial Advocacy Competitions are at the heart of these efforts, giving students a chance to demonstrate their proficiency in the art of legal reasoning and strategic articulation. Alongside these competitions, the committee also holds workshops at which legal experts share their practical knowledge of trial dynamics with students, helping them make the transition from theory to practice. The committee also conducts Inter-University competitions to enable other colleges and universities to participate and expose themselves to the art of trial advocacy.
Details of the Event
The 2nd National Tamil Trial Advocacy Competition, 2024 (“2nd NTTAC, 2024”) is TNNLU’s flagship event, building on the success of its first edition.
