This latest update should now put Legally India's Mooting Premier League up to date with all MPL moots of the 2009-10 academic year.

We are grateful for everyone's enthusiasm but please bear with us if it takes a little while to update the results. We always try to confirm the results of  competitions directly with the organizers or respective moot court committees so we can publish accurate information.

This weekend, we have the Stetson North India rounds which would decide as to which two colleges from the North would accompany KLA, Thiruvanthapuram and New Law College, Bharti Vidyapeeth, Pune all the way to the Stetson world finals in Florida, USA.

Update on included moots:
After discussions, Surana Trial Advocacy moots will remain unchanged.

We have also now included the K.K. Luthra Criminal Law Moot Court Competition, New Delhi as a Tier 4 moot.

"The national rounds of the Surana Trial Advocacy moot were held at NUALS, Kochi after NALSAR and UILS, Punjab had won the South India and North India rounds respectively."
Is this statement correct?
To my knowledge there is no national round for this moot as of now. There are the North and South India rounds. NALSAR did indeed win the South India round and UILS, Punjab was placed second in the South India rounds held at NUALS, Kochi. UILS, Punjab could not participate in the North India rounds because it was the host for that rounds.
