India hosts first aviation law moot; NLU beat Nalsar in Amity Moot

India has the distinct honour of playing host to the world’s first aviation law moot. The moot was organised jointly by the Sarin Memorial Legal Aid Foundation with the International Institute of Air and Space Law, Leiden University (IIASL) at the Dutch Embassy in New Delhi.
The Sarin-Leiden moot, held between March 2 and 6 saw the Leiden University team comprising Mildred Trogeler, Tridev Budia and Michel Adam, emerge eventual winners from a pool of 11 teams. McGill University, Canada stood runner-ups while National Law University, Delhi stood third in the overall standings. Following them were Bangalore’s Christ University and Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar. The 5 Indian universities that participated were earlier selected from a national level moot which saw 9 teams competing.
The moot is a brainchild of Chandigarh based Nitin Sarin, a lawyer and son of Senior Counsel, M.L. Sarin. Nitin completed his masters in the Air & Space law program offered by IIASL in 2009.
Bangalore based Christ University’s Anu Lisa Jose won the best oralist award. Hardeep Singh, a 2nd year student from National Law University, Delhi was awarded the scholarship for an LL.M in Air & Space Law from IIASL for having presented the best oral arguments. This scholarship is awarded to a student from the host country.
