3. Assume the best intention of others.

My question is WHY that is the case. Moots don’t matter much for placements and I don’t think they carry much weight for LLM admits, unless you win Jessup or something. Also, many other committees also have power and influence. Look at Legal Aid. They host judges for conferences and they too get attendance exemptions and become close to the VC. But they don’t have any glamour and are not considered prestigious! Then look at Sports. They organise fests which are the talk of the town. But MCS reps are still higher in the hierarchy. Only Recruitment has equal glam and prestige. Why??? Why do we place this committee on a pedestal?
