Students of MNU Once Again Became the Best at the Central Asian Moot Court Competition

Students of the MNU Law School became champions of the Central Asian moot court competition Asia Zangeri 2026. The final round of the competition was held at Coventry University Kazakhstan.

Following the results of the competition, MNU teams won first and third places in the Kazakh league, as well as first place in the Russian league. In the final stage, they outperformed teams from Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, SDU University, and Sarsen Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University. In addition, students Yelnaz Kumar and Adilkhan Ondassynov were recognized as the best speakers of the final round.

It should be noted that the moot court competition was conducted in accordance with the rules of administrative legal proceedings. Participants’ performances were evaluated by judges of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court, representatives of international law firms, and legal experts. The event was organized by the consulting company Fortune Partners with the support of the Supreme Court, the OSCE Programme Office in Astana, and the Judicial Administration.

The competition took place over three months in Astana and Almaty. The project is aimed at promoting national law, advancing legal scholarship and practical legal skills, strengthening interaction between students and potential employers, and training highly qualified legal professionals. Around 100 participants took part in the competition.

It is worth noting that last year MNU students also won prize places at Asia Zangeri.
