Such moots constitute excellent opportunities for getting to know and comparing the level of legal education and the quality of arguments made by representatives of other universities, perhaps also to control and shape (for better mutual understanding but also for dominance?) the use of sources and arguments in dispute resolution.

The teams of this Moot come from: Ankara Bar Association-Ankara University, Belarusian State University, Boston University, School of Law, Charles University, Faculty of Law, City University of Hong Kong, School of Law, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Georgetown University Law Center, Gujarat National Law University, Kaplan Law School, King’s College London, Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University, Lagos State University, Faculty of Law, Masaryk University, Faculty of Law, MGIMO University, Mykolas Romeris University, National University of Juridical Sciences, New York University School of Law, Novosibirsk State University, Paris Dauphine University, Pepperdine University School of Law.

While I applaud the students for getting to the London round , help me understand this.

They came 34th out of the 35 schools in the London round. How does that translate to 14th in the World?  Also how do you extrapolate performance in a Moot competition to ranking of the Law school?  So next time students from UNAAB win a Fluid Mechanics competition (or come 34th out of 35 schools), they automatically become best Engineering school in Africa and 14th in the world?

Am I missing some part of the story?

Ejiné:

Jeez. Easy guys. No need for hateful insults, please.

To make things clear, my statements still remain valid, because:

1. The list you posted there is from a competition attended by some students from some universities who volunteered to attend. This does not in any way signify 'World's best', because the grading is only by universities which featured in it.

2. The claims made by 'The Nation' still remain false, because, even after voluntarily attending the competition, the team finished 34th out of 35, and not 14th best in the World, like the poster bluntly claims.

Please, let us be objective and leave tribal sentiments. Let us discuss like normal humans for once, because I do not like the direction this whole thing is going.

Please, just respect yourselves and try to be civil, or you will leave me with no options than to report to mods (can't believe I even said that).

Guys, google it. There's no other news body affirming this story except Bola Tinubu's 'The Nation'.
What is going on?

Kobojunkie:


So out of a team of 35, LASU came 34th? Not bad!

realchange:

abeg helep me ask o.  

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.

hehahaa! na amala paper write am!

Please stop the bait and
switching.
You insinuated in the quote
below that the news itself was
false simply because you were
too lazy to google properly

or
that other news papers did not
publish the same thing as if
that's any indication of anything.
Now it's about who attended or
didn't attend.

Stick to your initial argument and
quit trying to hang on to what
was never your point. The only
falsity I see here is you.

luvola:

@ gbawe - they are bad belle people . out of 200 sch ,they stil made it to the last 16 and the organiser rated them as the best team in afri2 and 14th in the world,  pls paste the content of the nation link for them to see

luvola:

@ ejine - what they mean was that the sch law faculty is currently the best in africa and 14th in thew world and not the  overall best  

Ejiné:

Too funny! The one advise I'd give you is to not try outrunning your shadow. The poster's title insinuates LASU Law Faculty is the best in Africa, does it not? So, naturally, if this is true, the only google keywords it would require to reveal the story would be "LASU Law faculty best in Africa", should it not? Or do I now have to start aimlessly ransacking the internet for some Moot score sheet to reveal this so called list? You're a very funny character. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons.

Of course it goes a very long way to say so. You can't stage a competition from a handful teams and then call the winner the best in the World. You're never to be taken seriously with that.


Quite frankly, I think it is you who needs to drop the childish ad hominem attacks and focus on the crux of the argument, which is all about the falsity of the tabloid, because:
1. Nowhere does the message from the FDI moot competition name LASU as best in Africa,

2. The message there shows they came 34th and NOT even 14th. But you conveniently skipped that part only to write me an anger-filled sob story about how we should be proud, and yet you have the NERVE to say someone else is switching arguments?
