The average person (first gen) has as much chance of becoming a senior charging 20 lacs per hearing as the possibility of an asteroid colliding with earth in the next 6 months. The starry eyed law students may not like it, but most first gen lit bros are arguing petty consumer disputes at consumer tribunals, or matrimonial disputes at family courts, and getting paid (if at all) 20 bucks per hearing.

Dude just do just a basic linkedin research. I personally knew a lot of people that have left. counsels that have left are: PV and KJ from the Fintech and FSR team. There are no counsels left. RJ, the senior associate has also left. All last year associate (A0) hires have left and no hires from the year previous to that have stayed with the firm. And NO they were not fired, some were but there were alot who chose to resign without even another job at hand because working at SRL was just that miserable. Please have the basic decency to not lie outright - these people are playing with the careers of students and must be called out.

I am from first batch of integrated law programme at IIM Rohtak, despite the high fees and brand name, the entire batch is struggling to get any job offers, getting internships at t1 firms was also rare. No day zero, no recruitment drive, we have been left shattered. I belong to a middle class family and having spend such huge amount to end with no job. I am depressed and feel pathetic.

i.e. low emphasis on research, both faculty and students plagiarising and publishing garbage, and making boastful claims? There is one legendary article by an NUJS prof which has been shared on LI ad nauseum, but it’s not that the other NLUs are miles ahead??? No doubt NLSIU is heading in a good direction post Sudhir, but won’t expansion derail research there as well and turn it into another Jindal? An elite teaching shop rather than an elite university?

What do you think of this career as a whole? As Insurance law is not a well known area of law and is it very niche area to work in as compared to other corporate laws? I find insurance claims and legal very interesting but the career opportunities in this field makes me unsure

symbiosis noida isn't bad, but if you want to try for something better, maybe consider nirma? there are other state govt college exams going on like mhcet, maybe prep for those and take a partial drop if you want to go to an nlu. at 5k you could get into some t3 nlu via vacancies.

Well, for starters, clat is a less known exam, whereas jee is a household name- which contributes to the hype around the result itself.

So, no. Clat toppers are not celebrated the same way JEE toppers are, and while both toppers are meritorious, it's more about awareness and competition. But i feel it's better this way, and there's no need for gimmicks by coachings to drum up more clients in clat, not that there is none currently, but almost negligible in comparison.

i'm a student who has recently given clat, and after reading certain threads on this site, am confused as to where i stand. i would most likely get the following colleges-

nuals

nluo

rmnlu

rgnlu

nlu patna

as per the first round of counselling ive been alloted nlujaa and all of these are subject to spot rounds and vacancies and the availability of seats and cut offs at these colleges

i'm also considering fol, du

some of these more or less fall at the same level.

however, after reading certain threads on this site, i don't understand if any nlus apart from the top 3 or top 5 really even have any standing or any advantage? should i pursue my studies at one? should i take a drop and attempt again?

SYMBI Noida is the choice, because one thing that stands out is getting 1.5 months excuse attendance per semester in 4th year for Internships and in 5th year 2 months per semester. This excludes your 1 month break between each semester. Also NCR has every practise area that one can explore. Mumbai and other cities have less visibility when it comes to options.

So long story short, I completed my LLB and LLM in 2016. I then joined a friend's business and we built a somewhat decent local brand for the last 10 years. We are currently doing really well, the whole thing is coasting smoothly.

In between I did nothing related to law. No litigation, no court, no corporate, no internships, nothing. However, I would read livelaw and legal matters daily since I just couldn't let go of my love for law. I feel I need to get back into the game. However I do not want to get into corporate, so that means NO MBA and NO Law firms. What do I do ?

1. Should I apply for a PhD and get into research since I love legal issues and would have that passion to sustain.

2. Should I pivot to something like socio-legal research and apply at places like TISS.

3. Should I join litigation. There's a ten year gap but that's the most accepting place irrespective of age and money is not an issue.

4. Do I genuinely swallow my pride and join corporate with a MBA/executive MBA. I have a decade of experience in setting up a business from scratch.

It's not for the money. I'm earning enough through our business. It's about the passion and happiness to do something much more than financial satisfaction.

Any suggestions would be thankful.

Both these comments are absolutely bullshit and terribly misinformed. I can’t even begin to refute them because I don’t know where to start. OP- don’t base your opinion on the “assessment” of people who haven’t been to jiggles- especially when their sample size is one person. Create some email ID and I will be happy to chat

I agree. The rapid-fire segment in the Sanya Talwar–Rajshekhar Rao interview is absolute fire. So much wisdom, rooted in rare and rich experience as counsel, with a sprinkle of pop phrases like “kismet.” Watch it without prejudice, and you’ll emerge a wiser human for sure. https://youtu.be/wm7uAPrDbpU

Hi reader, I'm using this platform to get insights on how I can move and find a better position in PE/VC and the corporate field. I have now been working at a boutique law firm run by an ex-Tier 1 partner for 5 months, and now I'm looking to place myself in a bigger firm that has better growth prospects. Preferably BLR.

Do you happen to know any partners - humble and intrested in training a junior? And if you have heard, when does the hiring period start?

Please help me gain insights.

There is no country like that, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday while hearing the bail plea of an accused who said he was a citizen of Vanuatu, a Pacific island nation.

For context, the case involves a close aide of Abhishek Banerjee.

I think 2031 batch will join at the peak of HNLU's comeback - the admin is shit, and there's no denying that, but the students have worked tooth and nail to put HNLU back on the map - be it mooting, internships, or extracurriculars. Make the best out of this place - stay away from drugs, the loser crowd, and actively seek out seniors that can be of help to you. Also, don't judge people too early, HNLU is not linear, not every stoner is a loser by default and not every teetotaller topper is of actual help, make wise judgments for yourself

I second the avoid cells and commitees advice, but if you can hack your way into getting the PDI marks then nothing like it, 10 marks can really shift the bell curve.

Faculties are terrible now, absolutely terrible. Be prepared accordingly

Placements have tanked wrt to firms, it's all on your own in this aspect.

Agreed wrt mooting and symbhav.

While the above response paints quite a rosy picture, it ain’t all that.

The professors who made an attempt to understand the subject allocated to them and thereafter teach it to us, have all left. Most of the teachers half ass it out here coz manpower issues.

Placements are shit. At least they were for BO25. Opportunities for direct recruitment are few and far in between. Mostly you’re out on your own.

That being said, enjoy the city and moot as much as you can. Unless you’re into academia, chuck the papers. Bide your time doing something better / more productive.

Waited enough to build a cash reserve. WLB is better, but still just as boring. Will probably do an MBA sometime soon, but even that seems a different kind of boring tbvh. Litigation might be interesting, but haven't really built that kind of a risk appetite yet.

My advice would be to pivot to litigation if you do really wanna do it - it becomes harder and harder as life goes on and you start a family. Can't let that money go for nothing.

Interesting strategy but I doubt how effective it will be. Might have been more effective to target law students and focus on the lack of jobs.

Does the institution where one completes an undergraduate law degree in India significantly impact admission chances for top LLM programs abroad?

If a student maintains a strong academic record (top rank), secures quality internships, builds research exposure, and obtains strong faculty recommendations, how much weight does the college "tag" actually carry in the admissions process?

not true, AI is not going to cull hiring, humans are the best at fear mongering, tech companies with ai wings themselves dont replace their workforce with AI, less than 3% of job loss worldwide last year was claimed as due to AI, 5% in the US and most of this is also just claim AI so your share price does not take a hit.

Most tech companies are rehiring their workforces so AI is not doing anything.
