NLU Jodhpur replaced NUJS Kolkata in third place of the Mooting Premier League this weekend after the NUJS Herbert Smith Freehills Corporate Law Moot that was won by CLC Delhi, while Nuals Kochi emerged victorious from Amity Delhi’s 12th flagship moot.
Nuals triumphs at Amity Delhi
Nuals Kochi beat Symbiosis Pune to win the 12th Amity Moot Court Competition at Amity Law School Delhi from 1 to 3 March 2013.
Symbiosis Noida and NLUO Cuttack made it to the semi-finals out of 32 teams, including Amity Delhi.
HNLU Raipur’s Ritu Nichani won best orator, while RGNUL Patiala took home MPL points for best memorial and best researcher with Omkareshwar Pathak securing the highest score in the researcher interview.
The Nuals Kochi winning team were speakers Neha Miriam Kurian and Sachin Sathyarajan and researcher Ruben George Rock. “It feels great to taste our first cup of victory at the Amity moot,” said Sathyarajan. “We began our work by January and the moot really had a balanced problem such that we could garner matter for both the sides.”
“We had a very jovial atmosphere to work over because apart from teammates, all three of us are classmates and friends. Hence the team bonding we had was a supportive element in the moot. Our teachers and friends at Nuals indeed deserve a special mention as they were always ready with a helping hand for us.”
“We were a bit grilled in the prelims. But I’m happy to say that the quality of judging we had each round was excellent and a great experience. The interesting part was that, in the finals, we were actually quoting the judgments before those judges who authored them,” Sathyarajan observed with a giggle, and added: “The final battle against Symbiosis Pune was the toughest round we went through in the entire moot.”
NUJS Herbert Smith Freehills: CLC bests NLU-J
The CLC Delhi of speakers Prithvi Kapur, Payal Chandra and researcher Bharath Gangadharan defeated NLU Jodhpur in the finals of the NUJS Herbert Smith Freehills National Corporate Law Moot held at the NUJS campus in Kolkata last weekend.
NUJS had liveblogged the event on Legally India.

Priyadarshini Rao of NLU Jodhpur won the best speaker citation while the best memorial was won by NLSIU Bangalore. NLU Delhi and HNLU Raipur made it to the semi-finals.
“There were a total of 20 teams, all of them invitation only”, said CLC’s Prithvi. “The problem this year was regarding securities fraud, insider trading and the SEBI regulations dealing with these issues. It was drafted by Prof V Umakanth of NUS Singapore.”
“It was great. We had an interesting panel of judges. They were well-aware of the complex factual matrix. Herbert Smith partners, a sitting judge of the Calcutta High Court and the general counsel for ITC were the judges for the finals; we felt it was appropriate that they had judges with a strong corporate and commercial law background “
Second CLC speaker Chandra added that the team from NLU Jodhpur was “by far the best team” they faced. “The final match was really close. Till the end, we couldn’t be sure.”
Scoring
Although NUJS won 2 points for organising the NUJS Herbert Smith Freehills Moot this weekend, NLU Jodhpur hauled in a total of 16 points this weekend to replace NUJS Kolkata in third place in the rankings of the Mooting Premier League (MPL) 4 sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills.

International law firm Herbert Smith is sponsoring the Mooting Premier League (MPL) and will contribute a prize pool of Rs 60,000 for the top three winning colleges.
