your intellectual standard is revealed by the absurd nature of your post...i wont be surprised if you are from one of those sidey law schools who come on forums like these to vent out their frustration...so frankly, your opinion hardly matters...

by the way, congratulations to NLUD..good to see them up and running in this season's MPL...but I doubt if they will be able to keep up with the likes of NALSAR and NLS..as most of the big moots are yet to take place...and it takes a lot of experience to win such moots, which NLUD surely lack....

The adjudication was quite dodgy I hear. But NLU D I hear was absolutely brilliant and deserving winners

Another good news from CLCians. It seems mooting is in the air for the very first time at arguably India's best 3 year LL.B. college.....

Keep it up CLC team. Let you people start a great mooting tradition ahead.

MOoting has always been a tradition here in Delhi university. its all about the perception of the industry here. We hardly get funds from university, and sponsors hardly understand our needs and capabilities.

NLU Delhi is just 3 years old and it heart warming to see d way it has progressed....

Yes, being a CLC alumni, I know there is almost NIL funds at Law Faculty for Mooting activities and almost NIL faculty support. Students bear all the expenses and pains involved and even face administrative hurdles in arranging for the trips.

In such circumstances, your achievements simply becomes much bigger!
Keep it up.
