About Organisation
JuristQuest is India’s premier moot court competition, offering law students a platform to sharpen their advocacy, legal research, and courtroom skills. Conceptualized by Crosby Law Associates in association with the Secretary of Madras High Court Advocates Association, bridges academic learning with real-world legal practice through high-level competitions, workshops, and interactions with global legal experts. JuristQuest not only nurtures national talent but also provides international exposure, connecting students with judges, legal professionals, and global legal issues. The JuristQuest 2025 edition marks a special milestone, celebrating the completion of 75 years of the Constitution of India by honouring the trophy in the name of legendary “Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer.”
