Hello, are there any blogs/journals of NLUs or other colleges that publish student made content? I need something that could be helpful for 1st and 2nd year students.
Please refrain from mentioning those 1000rs publication journals that publishes chatgpt content.
The Proof of Guilt, Indconlawphil, LAOT, NLUJ's criminal law blog etc are good bets. Of course, you will get published only if you write something decent.
Btw, which are these scam journals which you are referring to? Just curious.
Btw the journal is "LusPorpus Law Journal", IJL______ (insert anything here) These journals on LinkedIn are ruining first years by making them delusional. The students just copy-paste things from ChatGPT then add some citations from JSTOR or other sources, paraphrase the plagiarized text shown by Turnitin using quillBot and poof! you're getting published in a "peer reviewed journal".
Bhai 2nd Year law students k pas clients nahi hote hai. Recruiters don't have the time to go and read every post when they open a CV. If a student has published on a good blog/journal then recruiters assume that the research and writing skills would be good. A LinkedIn post has zero value for recruiters.
Nobody will open your CV and check publications and then give an internship
This is fantasy
If you are active on social media you will end up getting to know lawyers who can recommend you
People who write regularly on ipleaders blog have more footprint, its easier to publish (because they have an active team that responds in reasonable amount of time) and then you showcase that article on your social media - people will read it and it increases your face value
Publishing one article in some academic journal that nobody will read will not get you placed
This is about the most delusional thing that I have ever read. Do you think that law firm recruiters are going to be impressed by articles in iPleaders? Even keeping aside law firms, no person in academia is going to be impressed by such a publication. When it comes to litigation, there might be some lawyers who think highly of iPleaders. However, you are better off staying far away from them.
Not really. Never had to use it myself throughout law school, found the few pieces that I did come across on Google search to be outdated and containing incorrect legal position. Don't have anything against them though, whatever works for them they are free to do.
Both of these are not known for the quality of the pieces which they publish. LiveLaw might be a stellar legal news website, but it is very poor when it comes to the quality of opinion pieces. The less said about the articles on iPleaders the better.
Their only requirement is that the article has to be most exhaustive on a given topic, not AI generated or plagiarised content, no long intros that blabber on - dive direct to the point
I am not going to think that a person is smart or that they know how to build their CV if they have published on iPleaders. Most, if not all, articles on iPleaders lack any sort of novel argument. No thought or substantive research goes into the articles published on that website. Most articles are nothing but descriptive drivel which even a first year can cook up in one day. If someone has written a decent article, then there are much much better places to publish it.
Extremely narrow in terms of what they are willing to publish - if you write on new developments in corp law, governance or a new judgement they will consider

Whatever you write, it’s important that it gets in front of people
Unless you are an academic
If you want to be a successful lawyer don’t listen to academics
Write on platforms where your potential clients or recruiters will read your content
That includes popular blogs and LinkedIn
Even twitter

All lawyers grow up and get through college reading iPleaders blog, people love and respect it
livelaw used to publish unsolicited articles but now very hard - still worth a shot
It ranks on google on almost all legal topics
2.5 million monthly readers, gets you in front of potential clients as well
Don’t be myopic and elitist at the same time, bad for your career :)
Their only requirement is that the article has to be most exhaustive on a given topic, not AI generated or plagiarised content, no long intros that blabber on - dive direct to the point
And they pay you if you submit such content
Law firms also need to blog
And get traffic - it’s increasingly an important strategy to have inbound traffic
You don’t need “novel argument” or “novel research” - you need traffic more than everything else
