Same achievements? Proofread LI. Please don't go the TOI way.
keep going guys
Can we please have some investigative as opposed to yellow journalism to explore the nexus.
Its just too much to be a mere coincidence.
it might be that NLS bangalore is relying on there so called brand name to win moots.. but that's not how moots are won .. see NlU delhi.. they are new but they are still winning prestigious moots .. its all hard work that counts at the end of the day
Honestly, I (and mind you I'm a non-nls, national law school kid) have found that with NLS they're really not that anal about mooting. A. They have the reputation to bank on, so they're not scurrying after jobs; B. The culture is one where spending three months working hard on something other than course work seems daft, because classes in a trimester system put a lot of pressure on the students; and while this is a minor reason, C. At NLS I've always seen debating to be taken a lot more seriously and competitively.
You know nothing about NLS. Shut up.
Because points B and C make a complete mockery of those people who sacrifice blood and body for months to represent NLS at the top moots.
Also, 21 is an NLS student who does not respect mooting. It's very clear.
We just had to confirm the results authoritative from the organisers which took a little while this time.
Best wishes,
Kian
