ILS won the best female speaker.
Shouldn't the points of best speaker be shared?
Just clarified with the organizers of the Moot. They have the overall best speaker award called the 'best advocate award'. And in addition to that, they have the best lady advocate award to promote the participation of women. Hence, it is not the best male speaker award which was won by NLIU Bhopal, but the best overall speaker award. Currently, the MPL rulebook does not envisage points for best female speaker.
Hope that makes sense!
Cheers,
Prashanth
Yeah, I spoke to the KLA organizers this evening. They said the same thing. I am now rectifying the errors. Adding 4 points to NUJS and subtracting 4 from NLU Delhi.
Cheers,
Prashanth
Congratulations to all other law schools too which performed well over this weekend.

Jessup and stetson india rounds are definitely not in the same league as dm harish, especially in view of recent criticism.
