KAZGUU has a very rich student life! Students organize and participate in concerts and other social events. Our annual 'Student Initiation Ceremony' is now a legend.
For two and a half months, first-year students, under the supervision of senior students, have been preparing an unforgettable show, which takes place in the best halls of the country. The Congress Hall, the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation, and many others are happy to open their doors for us because they know that one cannot see such a performance every day.
The 'Best Performance' Cup is the main goal of long days of training. Daily training exhausts students, but they believe in victory and are steadfast in their purpose. When they go on stage they are full of ambition, energy, and desire to do more of what they can.
The light, the curtain opens, and your School is announced. At this moment, you do not know what would be better – to sit in the hall or stand on the stage – because fear prevails at this moment, and your heart beats so hard. It feels like you are at the stadium, the fans are cheering and no music is heard, but already being in the initiation team, you just have no right to make a mistake. Having no idea how, but you perform in a way that you have never done at rehearsals, and you also could not imagine that result. The Hall bursts into applause. At the very least, these 10-15 minutes on stage fly by like a second, or maybe you were in ecstasy and didn't understand what happened. 'You did your job, you did well,' you think to yourself and cheer about as if you had already won. But deep down you realize that the most important thing is yet to come.
It is time for the results. Every School knows, no one has performed better than them on that day. But there is only one winner for the jury.
On the day of the Initiation Ceremony, they choose Themis. Representatives of each School compete for the title of being the face of the best university in the country. The elected Themis takes charge of the KAZGUU Court of Honor until the next election, which is responsible for the discipline of students and contributes to the social life of the university.
Regardless of winning or losing, students are happy for each other. With hugs and glad hands, they sincerely congratulate each initiated student. Here it is, a friendly KAZGUU family! The key to a successful friendship throughout your life!

The competition's essence is that teams should prepare written arguments of the plaintiff and the defendant (memorials), as well as oral presentations based on the resolution of a dispute between states in the International Court of Justice of the United Nations.
The team of KAZGUU University received the right to represent Kazakhstan following the results of two rounds against KIMEP University, becoming the champion of the national stage of the competition. In the international rounds, the KAZGUU University team was opposed by teams of such prestigious educational institutions as the University of Toronto (Canada), Case Western Reserve University (USA), BRAC University (Bangladesh), and Hena e Plote (BEDER) University (Albania).
As a result, the team of KAZGUU University took 49th place, scoring 3050 points. In the competition's ranking, KAZGUU University has gone around such famous universities of the world as the University of California — Berkeley (USA, 60th place), Universität Wien (Austria, 53rd place), University of Ottawa Faculty of Law — Common Law Section (Canada, 57th place), Fordham University (USA, 62nd place), Case Western Reserve University (USA, 64th place) and many others.

In this regard, it takes more than 6 months to solve it, and the competition begins annually in mid-September of the year preceding the international rounds.
Conducting weekly training, a thorough analysis of the dispute, and developing the legal positions of the parties provide students with the opportunity to compete effectively with experienced lawyers in the future and perform the most difficult practical tasks.
