ABOUT NLIU

The National Law Institute University is a premier university in the field of legal education,
established in 1997. The vision of NLIU is to become one of the best centres of legal education,
training and research in the world. In furtherance of this, the University organizes two moot
court competitions & one client counselling competition annually, namely NLIU-Justice R.K.
Tankha International Moot Court Competition, NLIU National Corporate Law Moot Court
Competition and NLIU-Link Legal National Client Counselling Competition.
ABOUT MOOT

In December 2019, the University organised the 8th edition of the IBBI-NLIU National
Corporate Law Moot in collaboration with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India. This
Moot is the successor of the erstwhile NLIU Juris Corp National Corporate Law Moot. The 2019
edition witnessed participation from leading law schools of the country. The highlight of the
Moot was the high quality of judging throughout all rounds.

The final rounds of the competition was presided by Hon’ble (Mrs.) Suchitra Kanuparthy –
Judicial Member, NCLT, accompanied by Dr. (Ms.) Mamta Suri (Chief General Manager,
IRDA); Mr. P.K. Malhotra (Former Secretary in Ministry of Law and Justice), Dr. (Ms.)
Mukulita Vijayawargiya (Whole-time member, IBBI).

Despite the unprecedented pandemic, we strive to make the 6th edition of the moot a memorable
and excellent learning experience for all the participating teams through virtual mode.
