The four-member team comprising Petra Stojnic, Claire Garrand, Ameer Ismail, and Indian graduate Rahul Bajaj, came second out of 68 teams hailing from 33 countries. The final round of the ELSA moot was held on June 4.

Bajaj, a former Associate at Trilegal and graduate of Nagpur University, also bagged the Best Orator award for the grand finals, the semi-finals and the quarter-finals.
