NLU Jodhpur has won the Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition in Florida for a massive 30 point bump in the Mooting Premier League rankings.
NLU Jodhpur moot court committee convenor Pranay Bagdi confirmed that the college had won at Stetsons late yesterday (31 March).
He added that the winning team would return to India in one week.
The Stetson moot website has not yet been updated. It is the world's most prestigious moot on environmental law, which was won by Law Society of Ireland in 2011, and by University of Maryland School of Law in 2010.
NUJS Kolkata was the only other Indian team to have won the moot in 2005. [Correction: NLSIU Bangalore also won the Stetson world rounds in 2001]
The BCI also announced late yesterday that it would start a National Mooting Academy with two NLSIU Bangalore grads, which would become an obligatory part of the syllabus. [This sentence is part of an April Fools’ Day joke story, which was not true. The rest of the article stands, however.]
Full story to follow.

Yeh hai "April FOOL"
ask NLS who they lost to ...
may be that will confirm it.
Nlu-J with such brilliant teams..
it is taking me aback...
Oooo this dudes fascination about there being just 3 law schools just went for a toss!! Don't worry we will continue to surprise you. Just because we dont blow our own trumpet does not mean we are not good enough!!!
are you serious ?
you think they see which college you're from and hand out the trophies ?
you do know that its called a 'competition' for a reason ?
I was only half-serious. But its amazing that NLS has sunck to an extent where they lose to NLU Jodhpur!? These new kids put too much emphasis on the drinks and the smokes. In my time (nearly 10 yrs back), the blokes used to drink and practice oral arguments for a month. Now they just drink. If it goes this way, next year they will lose to even GNLU and what-not!? Prof Venkat - are you listening??
People who have graduated from NLSIU long back seem to have a rather dismissive view of every college under the sun other than their own alma mater, that’s quite disappointing since people in law school right now don’t share the sentiment (most of us don’t).
It’s ridiculous that they should be allowed to spread this bs on public forums like this.
All law schools produce graduates who are more or less at par with each other, all NLS has for itself now is its early movers advantage of being one of the first law schools in the country , the same is not bound to last.
Their performance in the final rounds of the India south rounds was bad.
Till date NLSIu has not won stetson ,for that matter i don't think any indian team has. And now that NLU Jodhpur has done it , it is only because the NLISU chap were too busy 'drikinng and smoking' or becuse their moot court committe scerwed up in allotting it.
There is exceptional talent in some colleges....just be waiting they will all do so well...and u will still end up commenting on 2016 stetson and jessup win...while we at NLU enjoy our moment of success.....plz go ahead commenting on other success stories....hhahahah
when we won amity, snobs told us that we win only small moots.
when we won stetson, snobs tell us its because somewhere down the line nls is going wrong.
just be happy for once. its an indian team that beat the University of California in stetson finals.
And if it doesnt go down well with you, try harder next year.
but please, try not to look like a sore loser in public.
start living in present NLSIU ain't winning anything in International level now....
"took help from professional lawyers"... bahahahah, "professional"/ "lawyers" in india who practice International, Environmental Law... bahahahah
jeez, "drink and smoke" so much? even years after graduating?
sigh !
come, shine.. Jodhpur ! the Sun City guys have done INDIA proud !
share happiness, moron, stop being suspicious ...
these folks seem to be level headed and smart at the same time, unlike what we get to see of the more recent junta from the tier-1 law schools..
Keep it up... Great show!!
F***
Thats how its done people. Like a boss.
we are more balanced than nalsarites, which is what makes us better and a lot more well rounded lawyers.
