11th Government Law College International Law Summit by SPIL, Mumbai [Apr 9-11]: Register by Mar 21

Students for the Promotion of International Law (SPIL), Mumbai, as the name suggests, is a student body which cynosures International Law. With an increasing need for awareness in the field of International Law, we maintain that such awareness is put into an impetus through the diverse events we conduct within the versatile subject of International Law. At SPIL, we take a novel approach for Students and Academia alike, to let them be a part of the discourse, to explore the magnificently huge sphere of International Law, while always keeping in mind the grey and equivocal areas of the subject and attempting to abridge the same.

About the International Law Summit

The theme for the 11th Government Law College International Law Summit of the Summit is ‘International Maritime Law’ and the inauguration speech for the Summit will be delivered by Justice G.S. Patel of the Bombay High Court. The Summit will stimulate the minds of attendees through thought-provoking interactions with experts and doyens of the legal fraternity. As we explore the seemingly endless territory of international law, we hope to cater to pertinent issues of the day. The Summit, aside from the Keynote Address, Panel Discussion, and Call for Papers, comprises of the Judgment Deliberation Competition which was conceived within the portals of our institution.

The JDC essentially expects participants to arrive at a judgment, after analysis of facts and arguments presented from both sides.
