10th K. R. Ramamani Memorial Taxation Moot Court [March 8-9]: Preliminary Rounds will be Conducted Online, Register by Jan 15

ABOUT THE ORGANISATION AND EVENT

Taxation is often perceived as a vast & highly complicated subject requiring considerable expertise and many law graduates are seen to be reluctant in taking up taxation as their area of practice. Consequently, the practice of taxation is restricted to a limited set of advocates though taxation laws are one of the most extensively applicable laws in India. In order to develop the next generation of taxation practitioners, it is imperative that law students are given a practical legal platform and this Taxation Moot by SOEL, Chennai aims to do just that.

Late. Shri. K. R. Ramamani was a legal giant in the field of taxation and was well known throughout India, especially in the south, for his legal acumen and expertise in the field of taxation. He was sought after by people from all walks of life for his expertise and was often referred to as “Palkhivala of the South”. He led the prestigious Subbaraya Aiyar, Padmanabhan & Ramamani (S.A.P.R) Advocates firm to great heights. There can be no better way of remembering the memory of perhaps one of the most eminent taxation lawyers in India than by conducting a National Tax Moot Court Competition in his name.

So, in a fitting tribute to Late.Shri.K.R.Ramamani, the TNDALU School of Excellence in Law in association with S.A.P.R. Advocates started a National level Taxation Moot Court Competition back in 2010 with an aim of providing the participants a high-quality moot experience focused on taxation. They now take immense pleasure in announcing the 10th edition of the K.R.Ramamani Taxation Moot Court Competition & V.S.Sundaram Research Paper Competition, 2020.

Preliminary rounds of this Moot Court Competition will be conducted in an online platform and the top 8 teams who advance the qualifying/online preliminary rounds will be facing head-to-head knock out rounds in the campus of School of Excellence in Law at Chennai on March 7 & 8, 2020.
