About IRCCL:
The Indian Review of Corporate and Commercial Laws (IRCCL) is a blog that publishes articles on current issues relating to corporate law, dispute resolution, trade & investment law, taxation law, labour law, competition law and insolvency & bankruptcy law.
The blog aims to create a writing community, consisting of students, research scholars and practitioners, to generate debate and discussion in the areas mentioned above.
About the Competition:
The 1st IRCCL Blog Writing Competition 2020 is being organised to foster and cultivate a calibrated approach to academic research and writing. What makes this competition particularly unique is its upper word limit of 2,500 words, through which we hope to have a premier focus on novel content. To this effect, the themes of this edition have been designed to promote the conversation around certain key contemporary issues in the commercial law space.
Rules of the Competition:
- There is no registration fee for this competition.
- This competition is open to all students enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate programme in law (B.C.L., J.D., LL.B., LL.M., or their local equivalent) in any recognised university across the world.
- To participate in the competition, interested students must e-mail their submission to [email protected] by 2359 hours on 31 October 2020 (Indian Standard Time, GMT +5:30). Late submissions shall not be accepted under any circumstances whatsoever.
- No part of the blog should contain any form of identification of the participant, and any such information, if detected, would lead to disqualification.

Footnotes are permitted to the extent that they are absolutely necessary, and the same shall be included in the word limit. In any event, speaking footnotes are not allowed.
