JGLS Sonepat has emerged as the winner of 8th NLS Trilegal International Arbitration Moot 2015 defeating National University of Singapore in the finals.
Victor Leong of National University of Singapore was adjudged as the best speaker of the competition. The best claimant memorial went to School of Law, Christ University, Bangalore while the best respondent memorial went to Jindal Global Law School.
The winners and runners-up each received an iPad Mini and Kindle Paperwhite each, courtesy of Trilegal. The Best Oralist, Best Claimant Memorial and Best Respondent Memorial each received book vouchers worth INR 10,000 each.
The final was judged by an illustrious bench comprising Devashish Krishnan (NLSTIAM’15 problem setter, international arbitration specialist), Murali Neelakantan (ex-Global GC, Cipla) and Sitesh Mukherjee (Head of Dispute Resolution, Trilegal).
School of Law, Christ University, Bangalore and GNLU Gandhinagar were the other two semi finalists at the tier 4 moot which saw a participation of 24 teams this year.
The moot proposition, this year, was based on investment treaty arbitration and was inspired by recent developments in the Eurozone and challenges participants to examine how the enactment of laws pursuant to a financial bailout can trigger an investment treaty dispute.
NLU Jodhpur maintains the lead at MPL 6 standings followed by NLSIU. JGLS now stands at the 9th spot in MPL rankings.
Several moots outstanding, to be updated soon.

Comments
Hopefully you shall soon add up the points for:
1. Second NLUO Maritime Law Moot [the first edition was part of MPL. Given no changes were advertised I am guessing it is again a part of it]: won by NALSAR; and
2. Manfred Lachs Asia-Pacific Rounds: again won by NALSAR - with good performances by NLU-D & NLS (both defeated by NALSAR on the way. The same NALSAR team had made it to round of 16 at Jessup in 2014.
NLU-D & NALSAR shall both jump up a position to third and fourth respectively; with NUJS getting the drop to five.
FYI CLEA is better known as the Commonwealth Moot
On the CLEA/Commonwealth thingie, here you go: http://www.clea-web.com/events-conferences/glasgow-2015/2015-moot/
Commonwealth Moot is organized by Commonwealth Legal Education Association (CLEA)
How long is it going to take? I think I have done all the research for you right here. Update the table already?
NLUJ reached the finals this year. No love for them?
The Shield is waiting and watching
