In the Amity Moot Court Competition, GLC Mumbai got the better of NLU Jodhpur, but the best speaker and the best researcher awards in the moot took NLU Jodhpur 18 points ahead of NLU Delhi into second position.
NLSIU Bangalore is 104 points ahead and continues to lead the MPL 3 standings.
The Amity moot ensured that GLC made a century in this MPL as it ended with 106 points in fourth place, just three short of NLU Delhi. This is a marked improvement from last season’s rankings where GLC ended up with just 45 points.

Thanks to the semifinal finish and the best memorandum award at the Amity moot, RGNUL Patiala jumped five places from the 15th to the 10th position with 51 points.
Campus Law Centre Delhi also finished in the semis. Saransh Kumar from NLU Jodhpur won the best speaker award and RGNUL Patiala took home the best memorandum award. NLU Jodhpur researcher Suman Meena won the best researcher award.
Speakers Tushad Kakalia and Ayushi Anandpara and researcher Bhrigu Sharma formed the GLC team. Anandpara said that the team had a brilliant experience and were happy with the quality of judging. “Till the quarters, we had great judges who asked basic fundamental questions. In the semis and the finals we had exceptional High Court judges.” She also praised the moot’s organisation.
Anandpara said that the eight teams that broke into the quarters were equally good. “We were not really worried about reaching the quarters, but once we did break into the quarters, we faced ILS Pune and that was the toughest round for us. All the eight teams were really good.”
Sudipto Sircar, an organiser from Amity Law School, Delhi confirmed the results and said that even though 18 teams had registered for the moot, only 14 turned up. “This may be because of the complexity of the problem, which was primarily on private international law, conflict of laws and law of contracts.”
Amity was awarded organiser points as it did not participate in the moot.

that is rgnul...
'
congratulatins nlu-j and glc
If you scrutinize the results of NLU-J's recent performances you would see that they have never won a respectable national or international moot. So before u think about striking down the moot, think of NLU-J! Talk to their mooters and you will be ashamed to call yourself one.
Cheers.
First - We don't actually spend our time plotting our path up the MPL rankings, as you seem to imply. We don't 'go for' any particular kind of moot. We attempt to win every moot we go for and happen to win some of those we participate in. That those wins garner points on the MPL is a happy coincidence.
Second - Your point on indiscriminate participation is correct. In recent years our moot committees have consciously attempted to send kids to as many moots as they can identify - even newer, less reputed moots- simply to encourage an enthusiasm for it. Not every moot is Jessup and not every mooter will care to do Jessup. Some people would simply like to try the experience and we attempt to offer it without making crass judgments about the respectability of those moots or expecting other students to take our word on such as law.
Third - There is no singleminded obsession with mooting at as activity here. We pursue it with the same benign interest with which we also write papers, play the guitar, take up photography and debate. Certainly our mooters aren't the best, but they're reasonably articulate, well-adjusted and fantastically employed. We like this compromise.
It's so difficult to address you while you're up on that high horse of yours.. do you mind getting off so it's easier for us to see what a jackass you are? Thanks!
firstly, we go for all the moots. and the best teams go for the best moots. as a college we have done very well at those moots too.we've gone to jessup more number of years than many colleges have existed. we made it through stetson this year, like we always do. GIMC, IICLAM are not small moots. and by no measure is Amity too, it is perhaps the only moot to be judged by SITTING judges of the high court and supreme court.
if you think that we've never won an international moot. see our wiki page the next time you go there to make your project.
The idea is not to only go for the best moots but win them too. I think barring NLSIU, NALSAR and NUJS to some extent no other college in India has even remotely come close to winning a moot. Your claim to fame has been mere participation at the international moots. Look at NALSAR and NUJS, which were established around the same time and have achieved much more. Moots in India are no comparison to Stetson, Jessup, Commonwealth, Vienna and Hongkong. Mere participation in the moots after clearing an internal round of selection is not indicative how good one's college is in mooting. Considering the number of national moots that take place so frequently, i think its unfair that colleges like yours manage to stay in the top tier of the table by winning such mediocre moots. Winning this moot does not reflect the excellent mooting standards. So please all u people should get out of that bubble of yours and after u are done doing that even think of competing with NLSIU, NALSAR and NUJS. Till then keep shut and learn law first.
NUJS is poor, NALSAR all pomp and show like NLU-D. only NLSIU and NLU-J seems to have substance.
Look at the lame response of the convenor.. he thinks the problem was so tuff that only 14 teams registered.. funny... VIS vienna sets probably the tuffest problem and gets a participation of 300 teams
its because of the poor reputation and quality of Amity moot that students refrain from going there...
The amity moot should be retained in tier 4. It's been there for a while, and no one's complained about the judging. About the only good consti moot in the country, with supreme court senior counsel judging. Don't disturb its place in the MPL.
Nlu j's been around for quite time..do u remember it's performaces at jessup, vienna and the icc moot.
Nls won the jessup in 1999, meaning, 10 years post-inception..would this mean nls did not have excellent mooting standards till then ?
get your facts straight before you say whatever you want.
we got a special mention in vis last year and do well in stetson and hague all the time.
you talk as if winning an international moot is the only criteria for judging a college's mooting standards. we've gotten best memo in HS for two years in a row too. which goes to show that the average mooter in our college is also pretty good. nobodys comparing nluj to nls or nalsar or nujs. i just think its absurd that someone should think that we plot and go to these 'low' moots to win them. the fact that we participate in all these moots just goes to show that there is no arrogance attached to learning and that the average student is more enthusiastic about it than any other law school that either send loser teams to national moots or dont send them at all.
check the oxford bcl admissions for this year,if you want to remove our national law school tag. we'll talk after that.
whats your contact number?
why no update on BCI delhi and ELSA WTO Moot- Asian Rounds!!!
