We were asked to rethink the funda of keeping Vis Hong Kong in the first tier. Also, many suggested that Stetson North and Red Cross Finals be promoted to the first tier. After much deliberation, we have decided not to make any changes in those Tiers. The moots in the first Tier have international participation of at least more than 60 Teams (Vienna and Jessup unjustifiably have huge participation, Hong Kong has around 80 Teams and in Manfred Lachs, the winners of the three regional rounds compete in the Finals (each regional round sees participation from around 20 teams).

Revision as of 02:01, 27 September 2010
Version 2.04 Stable: This is the third list of Moots and Scoring Criteria for MPL 2. In all likelihood, this is going to be the final List. We have been receiving suggestions from our readers regularly and we thank all of you for sparing time and helping us finalize the List.
This version has incorporated very few changes. We have added three Moots in the fifth tier. Also, we have promoted two Moots from the fifth tier to the fourth tier. The new Moots that have a place in this List are in bold and the Moots that have been promoted up are in italics.
We were asked to rethink the funda of keeping Vis Hong Kong in the first tier. Also, many suggested that Stetson North and Red Cross Finals be promoted to the first tier. After much deliberation, we have decided not to make any changes in those Tiers. The moots in the first Tier have international participation of at least more than 60 Teams (Vienna and Jessup unjustifiably have huge participation, Hong Kong has around 80 Teams and in Manfred Lachs, the winners of the three regional rounds compete in the Finals (each regional round sees participation from around 20 teams). On the other hand, one does not see such huge international participation in the Stetson World Finals or the Red Cross Moot. Hence, they have been retained in the second tier.
Total number of Moots – 53 | Tier 1 – 4 Moots | Tier 2- 4 Moots | Tier 3- 8 Moots | Tier 4- 15 Moots | Tier 5- 22 Moots|
Tier 1 - Global Championships
These include the world finals most prestigious moot court competitions in the world and other world contests involving rigorous competition and wide participation.
- Manfred Lachs Space Moot, World Finals
- Philip C. Jessup, Washington
- Willem C. Vis (East), Hong Kong
- Willem C. Vis, Vienna
Tier 2 - World Class
These are the widely recognised international mooting events where a substantial number of Indian teams participate. These moots enjoy worldwide reputation among law students.
- ICC Trial Moot, The Hague
- Manfred Lachs Space Moot, Sydney rounds
- Red Cross Moot
- Stetson World Rounds
Tier 3 - Elite Class
These mooting events are the best of the elite national contests and some of them are the gateway to the Global Championships/World-class moots in the above tiers.
- Bar Council of India moot
- DM Harish Moot, GLC
- Henry Dunant Moot (India qualification rounds to Red Cross Moot)
- Oxford Media Law Moot
- Philip C. Jessup North India Rounds
- Philip C. Jessup South India Rounds
- Stetson North India Rounds
- Stetson South India Rounds
Tier 4 - National Challengers
Most of the contests in this Tier see participation from the top Indian Law Schools. A large number of them have also carved a niche for themselves in the national mooting scene.
- Amity Moot Court Competition
- Commonwealth Moot
- ELSA WTO Moot
- GNLU International Moot
- IICLAM Competition
- ISRO Manfred Lachs funding rounds
- KK Luthra Criminal Law Moot, Delhi

- Nani Palkhiwala Tax Moot, GLC
- NLS International Arbitration
- NUJS Herbert Smith Corporate Moot
- Oxford Media Law Moot National Qualifiers
- Surana Corporate Moot
- Surana International Technology Moot
Tier 5 - Best of the Rest
A varied tier that includes good domestic competitions that a range of Indian law schools take part, as well as prestigious international competitions that see only little Indian law school participation.
Domestic Moots
- GH Raisoni Moot
- Justice Hidayatullah Memorial Moot
- NFCG-Nalsar Moot on Corporate Governance
- Nalsar BR Sawhney Moot
- NLIU Juris Corp Moot Court Competition
- NLIU Tankha Moot
- NLU Antitrust Moot
- NLU Delhi All India Corporate Moot
- Pro Bono Enviro Moot SOEL Chennai
- Rizvi Moot
- SP Sathe Moot, ILS Pune
- Surana & Surana International Minority Rights Moot
- Surana Trial Advocacy Moot, North India round
- Surana Trial Advocacy Moot, South India round
- ULC Bangalore Moot
International Moots
These moots are internationally prestigious but only currently see limited participation, and are therefore counted on par with Tier 5 moots. This recognises that winning such a competition is noteworthy but that it would not be fair to disadvantage colleges that could not afford to attend these. For example, only three Indian teams participated in ELSA Asian rounds last year, ICC Mediation Paris saw only 4 Indian teams, Frankfurt International Arbitration only three Indian teams, Maritime International Arbitration in Sydney only two Indian teams, and Oxford IPR saw only two to three Indian teams last year.
- ELSA WTO Asian rounds
- Foreign Direct Investment International Moot Competition, California
- ICC Moot, Paris
- John Marshall Law School International Moot Court Competition in Information Technology and Privacy Law, Chicago
- Frankfurt International Arbitration Moot
- Maritime International Arbitration Moot, Sydney
- Oxford IPR Moot
Note: In future, if any other Moot is found to be satisfying the criteria of a given Tier, the Moot shall be included in that Tier. Also, if any of the Moots in the List warrant a change in the Tier due valid reasons, the changes shall be made.
