Philip C Jessup
Four Indian teams have made it into the last 64 out of 342 teams at the Willem C Vis Moot in Vienna, according to an update on its Facebook page.
NALSAR, NLU Jodhpur, JGLS and NLSIU, which represented India at the world rounds of the 56th Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot, made the country proud with two teams breaking into the last sixteen (one finishing as quarterfinalist), seven speakers finishing in the top 100 oralists and three teams winning top memorandum awards.
The team from Jindal Global Law School bested Nalsar Hyderabad to win the national rounds of 56th Philip C Jessup Moot Court Competition held at Christ University Bangalore.
Authoritative sources have confirmed that Nalsar Hyderabad is the only Indian team remaining in the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.
NLSIU Bangalore and Nalsar Hyderabad will join NUJS Kolkata and NLU Delhi in the race for the 55th Philip C Jessup international moot trophy among 550 law schools from 80 countries at Chicago in April.
NLU Delhi disturbed NLIU Bhopal’s status quo as leader at the Herbert Smith Freehills Mooting Premier League season 5 and qualified for 55th world rounds of the Philip C Jessup moot, after winning the moot’s North India qualifiers this weekend.
The intra-university mooting season has started at many colleges this month, with a select few hoping to qualify for the most prestigious domestic and international moot courts. And judging by track records and past performance, Indian mooters stand a good chance of going far and wide.
