NLIU Juris Corp Moot
GNLU Gandhinagar aced the fourth NLIU Juris Corp Corporate Law moot, winning against JGLS Sonepat in the finals. Shreya Podda, Saptarshi Das and Rajat Gupta made up the winning team.

The moot was live blogged fantastically by NLIU Bhopal.

NLIU Bhopal is currently the leader of the 26-strong MPL 5 pack followed closely by NLU Delhi on the back of its Henry Dunant semi-finalist points.
Upcoming moots: October 24-26 - 7th Foreign Direct Investment International Arbitration Moot, Frankfurt, Germany; October 25-27 - The 7th Pro-Bono Enviro National Moot Court Competition 2013, SOEL Chennai
The 7th Oxford Price Media Law Moot Court , South Asia Rounds New Delhi earlier scheduled to start today has been postponed to 21 November.
Editor’s note: An earlier version of this report wrongly depicted the Amity International moot to be the tier 4 Amity Law School Delhi moot, whereas this moot is conducted by Amity University Noida’s law school. After seeking feedback, Team MPL has included Amity Noida’s moot in tier 5 of the MPL and has accordingly adjusted MPL scores to reflect tier 5 instead of tier 4 wins. An amended version of the full rankings table to follow soon.

The South Asia Regional Rounds will be held in Delhi, India, on 21-24 November 2013. Earlier it was supposedly to be held on October 21st - 24 , 2013 .
I am not really sure about what the procedure is but I do hope that something is done about this.
Thnaks!
This is an older moot, so if the other one is there, it should be in too.. top nationals always take part in it.
Well top teams go to mediocre moots as well, not everyone has the guts to take up the best, right?
Please add points for the Suranna Trail Advocacy North.....RML n GNLU were the finalists...and RML won
You have added EVERYONE else's. WHAT'S THE EXCUSE?
