Legal Studies, was held
between November 4 and 6
at the Kings College, London.
LASU representatives were

Dr. Gbadebo Olagunju,
lecturer, Department of
International Law and

among the 36 invited for the
finals. The LASU team
competed against teams from
Pepperdine University (US),
Russian Academy of Justice
(Russia), Buenos Aires
University (Argentina) and
Gujarat University (India).
Though the team lost at
Round 16, just before the
quarter finals, LASULAWS was
crowned "The Best Team in
Africa" and "14th" in the
world. The counsel made the
university, Nigeria and Africa
proud by beating their
American, Asian and
European counterparts. Kings
College, London won the
competition.
The founder of the
competition, Prof Martin
Hunter, whose book on
International Investment
Arbitration is widely regarded
in Europe as the "Bible" of
this unique area of law,
praised the LASU students.

Daniel, 78th out of 107
students.

he was happy to fly the
Nigerian flag. He called for
more funding of such
competitions.
"Weare calling on the
government, organisations
and individuals to put more
into competitions like this so
as to help wake law students
from slumber and propel
them to legal research".
