Congratulations to every member of the team. Do keep it up, may we witness a brilliant mooting tradition at CLC too...
Sadly, I myself hardly attended a dozen classes in three years and later when I finally decided law was to be my career and went to the LSE to do an LLM, I was pleasantly surprised that one of the CLC facutly members was heavily quoted in several prestigious legal journals. (I later checked again and realised the professor had done a PhD from Harvard!)
The Lawyer magazine was once interviewing a leading barrister and he was asked who had the biggest influence on his legal career, and promptly he took the name of a professor who had taught him for some time in Oxford. The don later taught at CLC and I believe even became the PIC/Dean.
Apart from the faculty, the CLC had some extremely smart students. Many of them, I recall got the top ranks in the IAS, and several managed to get prestigious scholarships like Rhodes, Inlaks etc.
The impoverished library, though no great shakes by any means, still managed to stock the most popular textbooks. The grand auditorium building I remember was built entirely through donations from the legal fraternity (and the enthusiasm of the professor in charge). Yes, lawyers actually contributed! And handsomely.
on another note, DU may have been a good college 30 years ago, but it sucks now. and no one tales the sawhny moot seriously anyway
and in fact yes... korbo, lorbo, jeetbo (and we will, unlike KKR)
hate to repeat. But - 2003: Vienna, 2005: Hong Kong, 2010: ELSA
The only team to have won NLS arbitration moot ever (all the three times that it was held)..
Overrated, huh? what college are you from? Harvard? Or National Law College of Utopia?
and why not? you could try throwing us out... but if you cant manage enough points to keep us out, then shut up and try doing something worthwhile
