We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
- District Judges are constitutional functionaries. Article 233 of the Constitution talks about it, and Art. 236 gives an expansive definition of who all are considered as a "district judge".
Now, do you mean they should be constitutional courts in terms of their appointments being made similar to a collegium system (not sure if that's a very good idea).
- District Judges have the power to enforce fundamental rights. Civil Suits for enforcement of fundamental rights are maintainable, though most prefer invoking the writ jurisdiction.
So, anything to do with this? Maybe you want them to wield the power to strike down the laws too (again, not sure if that's a good idea).
I can't believe I've put in more effort just in trying to decipher what the OP intends to say, than the OP made in their post. I'm waiting for my matter to be called out & have nothing better to do at the moment.
Any thoughts on whether one of their lawyers could make it this year? MG? A counsel from the Calcutta High Court? Fox-Mandal? Aquilaw?

PS: I luckily do not have an immediate requirement for money and can be supported by my family so that is not a crucial factor for me although it's good to have a heavy paycheck.
Get back to work, please and make a difference.
Take the entrance for JGLS and see if they offer you a scholarship. Honestly, if you aren't getting a significant fee waiver, it’s probably not worth the massive investment. Instead, I’d suggest giving the MHCET a serious shot. Getting into GLC Mumbai or ILS Pune is totally doable if you prep well. They’re super affordable and the brand value is huge. You won't get much hand-holding for placements, but that brand value opens doors everywhere, from Tier-1 firms to LLMs at IvyLeauge or Oxbridge.
Now, for a controversial take: I’d actually pick GGSIPU Delhi over a Tier-3 NLU. (even more if your home is in delhi) The ROI is great fees are only about 1 LPA. While the faculty and the vibe might not match a top NLU, being in Delhi is advantage. Thanks to the DHC judgment, you can’t really be debarred for attendance (they can at best deduct 5 out of 100 marks), which gives you the freedom to intern for a huge chunk of the semester. If you’re proactive and hungry enough, you can build a killer CV in Delhi that makes up for the lack of a top-tier brand. It might be a bit harder to get your foot in the door initially compared to NLU kids, but if you want it badly enough, GGSIPU gives you the location and the time to actually make it happen. Ultimately, the best attitude to have is that I am going to achieve what I want regardless of which law school I go to; because that’s just what I fucking do. People blame their Law School for their failure. But the highest level of self belief and awareness is to take ownership of your own actions. You can sit around complaining that your college isn't a Tier-1 NLU, or you can decide that your success is is consequence of your actions, not circumstances. If you’re proactive and hungry enough, you can build a killer CV (and truly and conscientiously work towards getting better at the craft ) that makes up for the lack the NLU privilege. Like NF said, "What's achievable depends on the risk." If you believe in yourself, take the risk. I took that risk by choosing this path, and I don't regret it for a second. Decide right now that you’re going to achieve exactly what you want regardless of the institution, because you are the only variable that matters. Good look buddy, may you achieve great heights in life :)

I gave CLAT 2026 with 1 month or so preparation and barely 4 mocks. I managed to secure CNLU with the help of my category and domicile. I'm going to take a drop year this year.
My parents wanted me to focus on boards and score atleast 90%+ but I am starting to doubt I could even score 80%+ now.
Could you guys tell me what's the minimum percentage for boards which puts me in a safe zone as I know that boards grades don't matter much in India however in foreign countries it does and I don't know the safe limit. My elder brother is in a T1 nlu yet I can't ask him as my parents have high hopes from me and so does he. Infact,even I did but now it seems to fade away. And for once I could disappoint everyone around me however disappointing my own self would take a huge mental toll on me which I cannot afford.
Please guide me as to which firms' Corp teams are looking to hire, and don't per se discount experience.
Also, I wanted to ask whether firms, in general, have issues with prior experience that was largely PE/VC rather than M&A, and, if so, whether they would reduce the pay of the lateral hire.
Please help, thank you so much!!! I am extremely grateful!!
Kind of confused if I have broken some etiquette with regards to applying. Additionally, would like to know if there are any good IP firms in Blr that offer assesment internships ( that actually end up converting)
Maybe the managers should consider making juniors and seniors sit down with each other, mandatorily and have the difficult conversation
