The university recognizes the importance of all round development of students by giving them the requisite exposure. This batch has succeeded in availing the opportunities with a positive outlook. They have shown immense hard work and sincerity towards mooting, debating, publications, seminars, conferences, clinical legal education and legal aid. This has set a benchmark for the upcoming batches to pursue the same with more determination and enthusiasm.

Research &

Publications

NLUO, right from its inception, has focused on the critical evaluation of existing notions of society on a wide array of issues ranging from complexities in the International sphere in WTO to the dismal living conditions of riverside settlers in Cuttack. In order to channelize the efforts and research activities undertaken, NLUO has housed a number of research centers, a majority of which are funded by the United Nations Development Project (UNDP) Access to Justice Project. Some of these centers are the Centre for Banking & Insurance Laws, Centre for Corporate & Commercial Laws, Intellectual Property Analysis and Advocacy Centre and Centre for Outreach & Research in Agricultural Law.

Centres and their work apart, NLUO has actively fostered a culture of curiosity and emphasized on generating significant levels of research outputs. Several academic journals and publications, backed and nurtured by the finest legal minds of India, and a result of the dedication and perseverance of the students of NLUO have come to be published in the recent past. Some of these are the NLUO Law Journal, Journal of Banking and Insurance Laws, Colloquium Opus Law Journal & NLUO Student Law Review.

Mooting

Culture NLUO has been able to achieve remarkably high level of consistency in its moot court performances. This has been possible only through the hard work of students

The Moot Society (TMS) of NLUO is managed by the students under the guidance of a faculty advisor. It enjoys the mandate to coordinate all aspects of the University’s involvement with Mooting. TMS has taken huge strides in providing impetus for the development of mooting culture in the University by organization of intra-college and inter college Moot Court Competitions. NLUO has had the privilege of hosting India (South) rounds of the prestigious Stetson Environmental Law Moot Court Competition for two consecutive years. In the year 2014, NLUO came up with its flagship moot event, The NLUO Maritime Law Moot Court Competition

in conjunction with the Paradip Port Trust. The Moot was host to more than 20 teams across the country and was a huge success. In addition, the Intra-University Moot Court Competition (IUMCC) is organized every year by the TMS for the purposes of inculcating a culture of mooting among students. NLUO has been able to achieve remarkably high level of consistency in its moot court performances. This has been possible only through the hard work of students, TMS and NLUO’s policy of extending financial assistance to students for participating in national and international moot court competitions.
