NLU-J lead in MPL widens as it & NLIU Bhopal get to semis of ICC trial & Commonwealth moot Glasgow

NLIU Bhopal and NLU Jodhpur both performed well in international moots, with Jodhpur extending its lead considerably in the Mooting Premier League (MPL) 6, sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills.

Commonwealth Moot Court

The team from NLIU Bhopal comprising of Aparna Raturi, Praharsh Johorey and Nayan Jain reached the semi finals of the World Rounds of Commonwealth Legal Education Association Moot Court Competition, 2015.

The fourteenth Commonwealth Moot was held in Glasgow, Scotland, from 12th April to 15th April 2015. The tier 2 moot court competition, which was started in 1983 and is held on a bi-annual basis, has never seen an Indian team emerging as the winners.

The team had earlier bested NLSIU to win the South Asia Rounds of the Commonwealth Legal Education Association Moot Court Competition, 2014 held from 14th November to 16th November at CNLU Patna.

ICC Trial Moot Court

NLU Jodhpur emerged as the 2nd runners up at the ICC trial moot held in Hague. The team comprised of Amrita Shivprasad, Arushi Nargus, Sanjana Rao, Varun Manasingha and Karun Pawha. Also, the team from GNLU, Gandhinagar reached the semi finals of the tier 2 moot.

Jindal Global Law School was the other Indian team at the moot apart from GNLU Gandhinagar and NLU Jodhpur. Singapore Management University emerged as the winners of the competition besting Leiden University.

This year, 55 teams comprising a total of 330 participants from 38 countries worldwide participated in the moot court on the applicable law and jurisprudence of the ICC. Before a bench composed of ICC Judge Howard Morrison and ICC Legal Officers Philipp Ambach and Savina Savidis, the teams presented oral and written arguments during an appeals hearing in the roles of Prosecution, Legal Representatives of Victims and Legal Representatives of a Government.

While GNLU now stands at the 12th rank in the MPL standing, there have been no significant changes in the standing with NLU-J fortifying its top spot with a massive 88 points lead from the number 2 NLSIU.
