A delegation from the Faculty of Law at Gadjah Mada University (UGM), under the auspices of the Satria Paramartha (SPARTA) Moot Court Organization, has once again achieved a proud accomplishment on the national stage. At the 10th Prof. Soedarto Cup National Moot Court Competition (NMCC) in 2025, the UGM Law School delegation secured third place, demonstrating the academic capabilities and litigation skills of UGM Law School students in a highly competitive mock trial.
NMCC Piala Prof. Soedarto X organized by the Faculty of Law at Diponegoro University, consisted of two stages. The first stage was the preliminary round, featuring 16 university delegations from across Indonesia, which focused on a case involving criminal acts of corruption. The second stage was the final round, featuring four selected teams that advanced from the preliminary round, with a case involving the criminal act of human trafficking. The entire competition took place in person in Semarang from October 31 to November 3, 2025.
The UGM Faculty of Law delegation for this competition consisted of 20 people, including 18 contestants, namely: Eugenia Graceinka Simbolon (2023), Adrian Pratama Nasution (2023), Benedict Yordan Ezekiel Siregar (2023), Betty Situmorang (2023), Bondan Gandhini Purbosari Sekarjati (2023), Delila Kristin Sormin (2023), Febiela Adistyani (2023), Muhammadi Adji Syahadatain (2023), Novita Dwi Nurhidayati (2023), Salsabila Nayla Paramitha (2023), Ramzy Oansa Ilham (2023), Sri Juwita Arisanti (2023), Theresia Anggiani Siahaan (2023), Zahra Fahira (2023), Naura Nasya Benita (2024), As Shoffie Mufida (2024), Gom Gom Bryan Parasian Siburian (2024), and James Matthew Samuel (2024). In addition, there are two officials: Ana Aulia (2024) and Nayza Barika Dewi (2024). During the preparation period, the delegation received intensive guidance from Dr. Muhammad Fatahillah Akbar, S.H., LL.M., as their faculty advisor.
This achievement also reflects the UGM Faculty of Law’s commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. Through participation in a moot court competition that requires a deep understanding of criminal acts of corruption, human trafficking, and fair judicial governance, the UGM Faculty of Law delegation contributes to strengthening legal culture, the ethics of law enforcement, and the institutional capacity for administering justice in the future. Furthermore, the training, legal research, and academic collaboration involved in this competition support SDG 4: Quality Education, particularly in the development of analytical skills, legal professionalism, and real-world experiential learning.
Last but not least, all members of the UGM Faculty of Law delegation expressed their gratitude and thanks to the various parties who provided support throughout the preparation process and the competition itself. It is hoped that this achievement will motivate UGM Faculty of Law students to continue working hard, excelling, and bringing honor to their alma mater at both the national and international levels.
