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 2025.
