The competition, which started on 26 May, aimed to increase the ability of law students to develop legal argument skills in the field in practical work.
BRAC University became the 2nd runner-up in the competition.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Justice Hasan said a career in law often provides situations in which professionals are required to use their wits and research to come up with a solution to navigate through the complexities of the legal challenges they face.
"A moot court competition sets the groundwork for that process from the beginning. Therefore, the law students are entitled to this enrichment experience," he said.
He hoped that law students have gained a unique experience of learning how courtroom proceedings do play out in real life through the competition.
