About the Competition
Nyayavlokan, the flagship event of PGCL, is renowned as a one-of-a-kind competition in the country. PGCL was among the first institutions in India to introduce the National Trial Advocacy Competition, offering students a unique opportunity to gain exposure and hands-on experience in realistic criminal trial proceedings. Our goal is to create an environment that closely mirrors the dynamics of an actual criminal trial, providing participants with an immersive and experiential learning platform.

Over the course of the 3-day event, participants undergo five intensive rounds of evaluation. The preliminary rounds are overseen by 48 Criminal advocates, while 12 distinguished senior counsels judge the quarterfinals and semifinals. The final round is presided over by a retired Justice of the Bombay High Court, ensuring the highest standard of assessment by experienced criminal advocates.
