Jindal law school wins v Singapore at NLS Arbitration Moot 2015, now 9th in MPL

JGLS Sonepat has emerged as the winner of 8th NLS Trilegal International Arbitration Moot 2015 defeating National University of Singapore in the finals.

Victor Leong of National University of Singapore was adjudged as the best speaker of the competition. The best claimant memorial went to School of Law, Christ University, Bangalore while the best respondent memorial went to Jindal Global Law School.

The winners and runners-up each received an iPad Mini and Kindle Paperwhite each, courtesy of Trilegal. The Best Oralist, Best Claimant Memorial and Best Respondent Memorial each received book vouchers worth INR 10,000 each.

The final was judged by an illustrious bench comprising Devashish Krishnan (NLSTIAM'15 problem setter, international arbitration specialist), Murali Neelakantan (ex-Global GC, Cipla) and Sitesh Mukherjee (Head of Dispute Resolution, Trilegal).

School of Law, Christ University, Bangalore and GNLU Gandhinagar were the other two semi finalists at the tier 4 moot which saw a participation of 24 teams this year.

The moot proposition, this year, was based on investment treaty arbitration and was inspired by recent developments in the Eurozone and challenges participants to examine how the enactment of laws pursuant to a financial bailout can trigger an investment treaty dispute.

NLU Jodhpur maintains the lead at MPL 6 standings followed by NLSIU. JGLS now stands at the 9th spot in MPL rankings.

Several moots outstanding, to be updated soon.
