NLU Jodhpur second year student Vatsal Vasudev wins a place among the top three out of 230 entries from colleges across 70 countries that participated in a speech writing contest. The contest was organised by the United Nations Academic Impact in association with Brookings Institution. The challenge was to write a speech for the UN secretary general.

“The message is clear: no country is completely immune from the consequences of ills prevalent in other countries. In such a scenario, we must realize that not just for the sake of upholding human values, but also for the maintenance of socio-economic equilibrium in the world do we need to begin thinking of the earth as a composite whole,” he wrote.

Vasudev won a trip to New York to meet the UN secretary general and the leadership of the Brookings institution.

“I will make the U.N. chief aware of the problems existing around me,” he says of his plans of the trip adding that he would also seek suggestions and approval for a journalism-activism campaign that he envisions with a couple of friends from college. [The Hindu][Speech]

The Common Law Admissions Test (CLAT) committee has published an updated university allotment list, after candidates complained about the previous list, which contained errors.

Candidates’ university allocation in the 2012 Common Law Admissions Test (CLAT) would be reshuffled in June as human error may have caused mistakes and around 125 future students have submitted complaints, said Justice NN Mathur, vice chancellor of NLU Jodhpur and convenor of the 2012 CLAT, adding that the process would be carried out “judiciously”.

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.

The first writ against Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2012 convener NLU Jodhpur was dismissed by the Delhi high court which refrained from hearing the matter which was listed for the first time yesterday. The court refused to interfere stating that the CLAT committee was already considering the petitioners’ grievances.
