Debate in Session

This very famous quote by the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was the bone of contention as the fresher’s took to the floor to express themselves in the debate organised on the 22nd of August, 2014. The topic of discussion was “Voters, and not Political parties are responsible for the Criminalisation of parties."

The event was opened by Prof. S.K. Singh, Dean Faculty of Law, Amity Law School, Noida with very positive words which helped in boosting the confidence of the young padawan's of the college.

The Chair

In the preliminary round of selection held on the 12th and 13th of August, a total of 62 students turned up for the trials, the largest number since 2011. 18 great minds made it to the final rounds. 9 for the motion and 9 against the motion. Nervousness showed very clearly as each participant came forward to share his views but then managed to put up a brilliant show. This was the original intention behind the event, of removing the stage fear of the participants and helping them express their views effectively and convincingly. Even though all performed commendably there could only have been three winners.
