NLSIU & Nalsar lawyers pick up Rhodes scholarships this year: NLSIU Bangalore and Nalsar Hyderabad final year LLB students Mansi Sood and Sanya Samtani are, respectively, among nearly 55 scholars selected by the Oxford University, UK for its Rhodes class of 2015. A Delhi University sociology student is the only other Indian selected for the class. The three Indians who have made it to this year’s list are all women. Samtani’s profile on Oxford’s website states: “Her primary area of interest lies at the intersection of public international law, constitutional law and critical theory. Having been a teaching assistant for public international law and constitutional law, she envisages a career in academia. Whilst in NALSAR, she served as senior editor of the NALSAR Student Law Review; editor of the Indian Journal of Intellectual Property Law, having edited a special issue on the Global South, and student editor of ILSAs International and Comparative Law Quarterly. Furthermore, she has been on the organizing committees of the NALSAR Film Festival and the NALSAR Inter Varsity Debating Championship.” Last year law students from NLSIU and NUJS Kolkata won the Rhodes. Hat-tip to Lawctopus for first breaking the news.
