NLU Jodhpur bags MPL 4th post-ELSA as Dr. Ambedkar Chennai wins Amity moot

NLU Jodhpur sneaks ahead of NLSIU Bangalore to fourth place in the Mooting Premier League 2 sponsored by Allen & Overy, following outstanding memorials at WTO-ELSA Asia alongside GNLU Gandhinagar. Meanwhile, new entrant Dr Ambedkar Chennai wins the Amity Moot.

Amity Moot

Dr. Ambedkar Government Law College, Chennai entered the MPL Season 2 with a win against NLU Jodhpur in the finals of the Amity Moot Court Competition. It now stands at the joint 20th position.

Nalsar Hyderabad and Army Institute of Law, Mohali were the semi-finalists. Nalsar also won the best memorandum award, grabbing a total of 12 points from the competition.

With 148 points, Nalsar continues to lead the MPL Standings while NUJS Kolkata is at second position with 119 points.

NLU-J’s Aparna Gaur earned her college 8 more points (taking the tally to 16) by winning the best researcher award. The best speaker award was won by Urvashi Mishra of ILS Law College Pune.

Gunjan Arora and Surabhi Iyer, student organizers of the moot, confirmed the results and said that 24 teams participated in the moot. The problem was based on public international law, they added.

ELSA-WTO

Although no Indian team advanced to the later rounds of the ELSA Moot Asia, which is a Tier 5 international moot, NLU-J earned 10 big points at the competition with two prestigious awards: the Shing-yi Peng award for Best Overall Written Submissions and the award for Best Written Submissions for the Complainant.

GNLU Gandhinagar was the other college to earn MPL points at the competition, receiving 3 points with an honourable mention in the Best Overall Written Submissions.

Earning a total of 26 points during the last week, NLU-J has jumped from 9th to 4th position in the MPL Standings with 86.5 points, only half a point ahead of NLSIU Bangalore with 86 points.

The ELSA-WTO organisers were not available for comment.

Allen & Overy is the sponsor of the MPL 2 and is hosting an international finance and corporate course at Nalsar Hyderabad between 4 and 8 July.
