Following the success of the inaugural ACJA National Moot Competition—which concluded on 9th April, 2026, after taking law students from nineteen universities through rigorous brief-writing and oral moot proceedings stages and seeing the University of Calabar lift the first trophy—Juritrust Centre is excited to announce the upcoming return of the tournament for its 2nd Edition.
The first edition demonstrated the high standard of practical legal advocacy among Nigerian law students and reinforced the importance of mastering the Administration of Criminal Justice framework. Building on that momentum, the next edition will offer an even more engaging platform for students to test their skills in criminal procedure, litigation strategy, and professional ethics.
Planning is actively underway behind the scenes to expand the reach and impact of the tournament. Please note that official registration for the 2nd Edition opens on 2nd October 2026 and closes on 20th November 2026. Full competition guidelines and timelines will be released alongside the launch.
