IBC16’s Monthly Blog Writing Competition: Submit by July 15, 2021

About the Organization

IBC16 is a newly launched blog focused on the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. It aims to be the premier Indian platform for all things IBC. 

About the Blog Writing Competition

IBC16 invites submissions from students for blog posts exclusively covering the NCLT and NCLAT judgments from the months of May & June 2021. 

For the first time, we are trying to introduce a bottom-up approach to scholarship on judicial decisions. The judgments from the higher judiciary tend to attract most of the media and scholarly attention, and for good reason. But we believe that a more rigorous examination of the NCLT and NCLAT decisions could pre-emptively highlight tricky legal areas.

• Tackle new questions of law
• Spot judicial trends
• Incorporate cross-domain analysis

Section X, IBC16’s judgment search portal, has got your case law research covered – the only place online where you can find and download any NCLT/NCLAT judgment with just a click.
