NLIU Bhopal

NLIU Bhopal and NLSIU Bangalore made it to the world rounds of the 18th Stetson International Environmental Law Moot Court Competition

The mooting bonanza weekend starting 17 October and ending yesterday saw 17 law schools creating a flutter in the season 5 rankings.

NLSIU Bangalore, Delhi University (DU), GLC Mumbai and ILS Pune have given India’s biggest law firms more than three times as many partners than most other younger law schools since 2009.

NLIU Bhopal won the 13^th edition of the Raj Anand moot court competition and GNLU Gandhinagar won the fourth edition of the SLCU National Moot.

NLIU Bhopal started its Day Zero recruitment efforts today to low turnout, around four months after other top law schools.

NLIU Bhopal awaits the appointment of its new director and registrar after outgoing director Prof SS Singh’s term ended on 31 May and former registrar SC Pande was transferred to a different high court in May.

139 students from 6 national law schools find 87 new homes.

At least 50 CLAT 2013 candidates were reshuffled to different colleges two weeks after the first results were first released.

Nuals Kochi drops behind RMLNLU Lucknow and CNLU Patna but seven oldest national law schools stay top.

Amarchand has emerged as the most aggressive Indian early recruiter hiring 36 fourth-year law students across 10 colleges.

RMLNLU Lucknow vice chancellor (VC) Balraj Chauhan will finish his five-year tenure as VC at the university on 2 January. The university has formed a search committee to appoint the new VC, and has invited applications for the post latest by Monday.

Students of NLIU Bhopal organised a run to show support for the victims of year 1984’s Bhopal Gas Tragedy on 2 December, through their student-run organisation People United for Law, Education and Rehabilitation (PULER).

PULER partnered with rehabilitation organisation Rajeev Smriti Gas Peedit Punarwaas Kendra (RSGPP) to organise the event a day before the anniversary on which citizens of the city commemorate the victims of the tragedy.

The 7 km run saw around 1000 participants mostly from Bhopal schools and colleges. Another part to the event included a poster-making competition for school-going children on 25 November. All activities were arranged by over 100 student volunteers of the law school, according to a press statement from the organisers.

Nuals Kochi and NLU Orissa climbed in the traditional college preferences of Common Law Admissions Test (CLAT) at the expense of RMLNLU Lucknow and CNLU Patna, while other CLAT preferences remained unchanged in the corrected university allotment list, with NLSIU Bangalore coming top followed by Nalsar Hyderabad, NUJS Kolkata, NLIU Bhopal and NLU Jodhpur.

The 2012 Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) university allotment list, which ranks NLIU Bhopal ahead of NUJS Kolkata according to Legally India analysis, has been disputed by several students, with one claiming on Facebook that the convenors have confirmed a new list would be published within days.

Exclusive: Around 50 out of 82 NLIU Bhopal students graduating this year participated in the campus recruitment activities, out of whom 31 found employment with recruiters led by Amarchand Mangaldas, two legal process outsourcing (LPO) units, a public sector undertaking, a private company and ICICI Bank.

Exclusive: Around 40 fourth-year students at Nalsar Hyderabad, GNLU Gandhinagar and NLIU Bhopal have been hired by law firms led by Amarchand Mangaldas and Trilegal, after the three colleges held their so-called recruitment “day zero” events weeks ahead of traditional first mover NLSIU Bangalore.

Almost 18 mooting colleges agreed to judge moots on a common scale, make quarter- and octa-finals compulsory for larger moots, team power matching, although law schools could did not agree to make moots majority ruled by judges of at least High Court level.
