@ kobo - the writer of the article may have made some errors by rating it 7th in the world but be inform that 200 universities actually started the competition in which lasu opted out in the 2nd round of 16. i believe some univ in africa are among the 200 univ that started the competition but couldnt make it to the 2nd round of the remaining 16 which prompted the organiser to rate lasu law as the best in africa. hope u get the point

u guys should stop this hatred and appreciate the performance of these two guys,the story would have been different if unilag or any other fed universities had represented nig, am highly dissapointed

@ saga - lasu was rated best in law faculty in africa base on d competition, gbam, 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.
Remarkably, in the World Student
Arbitrator Rankings, Geoffrey
was listed 41st and Daniel, 78th
out of 107 students.

@ ejine - i later said it was a mistake. the article did not say lasu is 7th best sch in the what i said was that lasu was rank the best team in africa which was based on the sch performance in the competition because they lost in the round of 16. at least we should appreciate these guys because they indirectly represent nig. gbam

@ kobo - i think u should read the article again and see for your self where the organiser ranked lasu team as the best in africa. u are really stressing me here. why do u peeps hate hearing the word LASU

i am not the writer.i believe the publisher was making reference to what the organiser of the moot competition assert that based on the outcome of the competition ,lasu team was place the best in africa and ranked 14th in the world

@ kobo - i assume lasu rep nig univ since it is the only nig univ participating in the competition , @ manny - the organiser according to the nation news said the lasu team emerged the best in africa since no african university participate in d competition. i believe some schools in africa were part of the 200 participants that started the competition but they couldnt scale through in the group stage

@ manny - the publisher of the the nation actually base his or her statement on the organiser's statement.the univ rep nig as a whole

@ kobo - quote frm thenation news - ''The build-up to the oral finals
included a written submission by
more than 200 universities
across the world. LASU was
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,

@ kobo ' -read carefully what the writer said , ,, - 16, just before the quarter finals,
LASULAWS was crowned “The
Best Team in Africa” and “14th”
in the world. The counsel made

proud by beating their American,

@ manny - i think d organisers actually mean the lasu team in the competition was rated 14th position since they lost in the round of remaining 16 contestants

@Ejine : your story would have been d/f if it was a fed univ like unilorin or unilag .i give kudos to them for making it to round 16 out of 200 schools. A new competition will hold again april next year and i belive lasu will still represent nig since they are currently the best law faculty in the country
