CMCT is one of the moot court training platforms at FH UNUD that focuses on constitutional justice. CMCT was initiated by Udayana Moot Court Community (UMCC). CMCT 2023 activities consisted of 4 series of events attended by 20 active students of FH UNUD, which were then divided into 4 delegations. This activity was opened in mid-May with a Seminar filled by 3 speakers who are lecturers of FH UNUD. 

Then continued with a series of events in the form of Small Class, Focus Group Discussion, Filing Activities, and Trial Practice. The activity ended with Internal Mooting which took place at the Denpasar District Court of Corruption on June 24-25, 2023. The Internal Mooting activity is an event where the results of the trial practice of the participants are displayed, which this time uses the scheme of testing the Law against the 1945 Constitution or Judicial Review in the Constitutional Court.

A total of 4 delegations were confronted with each other in a trial that was held for 2 days. In each trial, 2 delegates met and argued their case as the Petitioner and as the Government/DPR RI who were the testifying parties. Meanwhile, the judges in this trial were taken from FH UNUD lecturers and alumni, along with active FH UNUD students who have experience in national level competitions (CMCC).
