Nalsar's built up its strong Mooting Premier League lead this weekend at NUJS Kolkata when it won the NUJS Herbert Smith National Corporate Law Moot Court Competition held between 19 to 21 February.

Nalsar (pictured) also won the best memorial in the moot. This gives Nalsar 11 points in the league thereby giving them an enviable 31 point advantage over the second place NLS.

NLU Jodhpur, close on heels of NLS for the second spot was the runners up. This gives it 3 crucial points thereby reducing the margin from NLS. NLU Jodhpur trails NLS by only 14 points now.

{/ppgallery}Nikhil Chawla of ILS Law College, Pune bagged the best orator. This gives ILS 5 points. Although ILS stays in eighth place, the 5 points came in handy to pull further ahead of the previous joint eighth placed Law Centre-1, Delhi University.

The moot problem was based on cross border insolvency laws and was before the Calcutta High Court.

This was the second edition of the moot competition and Nalsar won the first edition also. This win of Nalsar comes in after two moot court wins over the last weekend and strong performance in the other two.

NUJS moot court convenor Amrita Biswas said: "We saw two senior partners from Herbert Smith coming down along with Professor James Edelman from Oxford. Having these people there who are experts in corporate law, we were able to ensure a good judging standards, which is one of teh most important things for any moot."

Next week, there are two more Tier 4 competitions; ULC Bangalore moot Competition and Surana and Surana International tech moot. Will NLS Bangalore be able to bounce back to make up in the losses of the past two weeks to Nalsar?
