National Law University Odisha, one of the crown jewels amongst eminent legal institutions in India, had its inception back in 2009. It is situated in the Millennium City of Odisha - Cuttack, an ancient seat of trade, and the present seat of the High Court - a potent mix of legal lineage and cultural heritage. A multitude of legal luminaries of the finest acumen, from both the bar and bench, thus trace their origins back to this city, including three former CJIs.
For the last eight years, NLUO has successfully organized its flagship moot, the "International Maritime Arbitration Moot (IMAM)," attracting some of the brightest minds and sharpening their advocacy abilities in the burgeoning fields of maritime law and arbitration.
The International Maritime Arbitration Moot (IMAM) is the first first in India and the third in the world to have maritime law as its principal subject area. The moot aimed to enhance research and advocacy skills of students in the area of Maritime Law and International Commercial Arbitration. So far, the moot has witnessed eight successful editions with the enthusiastic participation of teams from all across the country. With each new edition, the University strives to present a more demanding debate for its participants in order to reach new heights.

Vice-Chancellor, NLUO

At the outset, I take this opportunity to welcome you all, as we at National Law University Odisha, embark on our journey towards maintaining a conducive environment of academic ambience aiding in the enhancement of professional knowledge of the law. It is my consideration that NLUO Bose & Mitra & Co. International Maritime Arbitration Moot will aid its participants in exploring contemporary, niche areas of Maritime and Arbitration Law. Participants are faced with the daunting task of understanding grey areas of law and respond to them analytically. It will, in turn, hone their advocacy skills, preparing them for practical challenges of their competitive professional life. I have full faith, that the organising team will leave no stone unturned to make IMAM, a thrilling and unforgettable learning experience for you. I convey my best wishes to all the participants and we earnestly look forward to having you at Cuttack this March for IMAM 2023.
