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?
Maybe not many of the super senior partners but considering the amount of gossip and conjecture that is shared here on a daily basis, even Partners (especially newer ones) might find it hard to stay away and avoid Legally.
Seriously, just be tenacious (unlike the SJA) in getting those papers, connect the dots and just follow the trail. You will be surprised how far and wide it goes.
Sure GOP and others abused power and made CBI etc toothless etc. What stupendous leaps have these sterling agencies taken since 2014?
Just consider the record in Bengal. Zilch with Ponzi scam cases. RG Kar buried. Sandeshkhali and many other cases saw prime PWs getting offed. All that CBI and Co could was whine as if they have an inherent right to get a free pass.
Dig deep and join the dots.
Suggest that you replay Anirban B song to really understand (and accept) the irrelevance of Red at least in Bengal.
This woman is in pain and I feel for her. Losing a child is the most painful thing imaginable. But instead of coping with that pain and loss in a healthy way, she is attacking her daughter's friend. It sounds like he is irresponsible yes, but he needs counselling not prison. Can you imagine going through your life knowing you killed two of your friends? How many people here have been drunk and how many more have done things they shouldn't have while drunk? Did anyone imagine it would go so far?
I don't know the specifics but ideally they should be grieving the deaths together and helping this young man with his problems together. This anger and lashing out is going to do nothing for a scared, grieving student body that is turning to substance abuse because the adults are failing it. They need counselling and care not accusations. Good luck trying to run a law school like a prison. Oxbridge is full of drunken students. Most turn out just fine and some do not and do have catastrophic tragedies like this one. That is human behaviour and young people in universities. Stop trying to attack them for being human. It has nothing to do with their studies or future.
nujs vc changed so thats a plus point but if u are a girl hostels will be a problem
nluj seats increased last year and lmty it is getting crowded, but otherwise college is nice but no college life because it is hectic but gnlu on other hand will become boring over time and some peopel do like or prefer the pressure that nluj has , hostels will be a problem here as well because 5th year 100 students will go and 196 will come so think for yourself
baki top 3 ki chul hai toh nujs jao varna nluj , gnlu idts should even be a question
2- Of course it is. SLSP has been barely managing 5-10% placements, not even half of which are t-1s. A T-1 will always give you the edge. 1 year of dropping out opposed to an alma you can count on, and a uni that puts you an advantage by simply existing.
3- Not quite. If you have a home bias, then that's a different story. Else, the preference always is and will be NUJS>NLUJ>GNLU.

If any seniors have any tips or anything to keep in mind while calculating stamp duty, please help a junior out. I want to learn from here and from my mistakes so that I don’t repeat it.
I checked last year's merit lists and saw that the rank cutoff for BSc LLB was 2015.
But I really can't rest easy; so please, can anyone in the fraternity let me know about my chances?
I'm sorry if I come off as entitled, I'm trying to cling onto hope whatever I have.
Thank you!
the real 'mapping' would start now, we expect that about 2-3 lakhs fake voters would be identified in the next stage

The names they come up with....jeez!!
Gave CLAT this year and got a shitty rank (32XX). I won’t blame the consortium at all. It was me who messed it up.
Keeping that aside, I’ve researched myself down to this deep rabbit hole about Indian law education. There are no good private collages apparently? Jindal and Symbiosis are too expensive. GLC and ILS are gatekept by Marathis. NMIMS and Nirma are death sentences, if I go by their students’ accounts. Christ is just a catholic jail.
Then what’s the point even? I don’t even have any law-godfathers. I just wanted to get into the profession because I loved debating and had an argumentative personality. Was it my naivety? I just wanted a stable career which would feed me and won’t eat up my soul. Is that too much to ask for?
I don’t know what to do anymore. Not sure where to go next. If any of you could give me any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I don’t have anyone to guide me.
ISB, however, has a lot of money. So just like Jindal, it manages to maintain its PR, and does serve as the next best option when you don't land at one of the best. It also does manage to attract a few good hirers owing to the institutional ties. Has good faculty and infra because money. But none of that places it above a t-1 B school. However, none of this is a reason to not opt for it- it's still very much a decent option.
A celebrity law firm from Okhla—still very much one—publicly committed to meritocracy and zero tolerance for incompetence, filed two or three affidavits before the Erstwhile Company Law Board that were improperly notarised and bore false signatures. This was not a trivial defect. It went to the basic integrity of representations made to a judicial body.
The response that followed was revealing.
The notaries involved were prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Their names were recorded. Their professional lives ended. The system demonstrated that it could act decisively—provided the targets were suitably peripheral.
Within this firm, accountability became more selective. The Principal Associate responsible—an NLS graduate, insulated by privilege—was quietly removed. His name appeared in the order, but misspelt. A minor clerical error, one might say. Yet a curiously convenient one: sufficient to gesture at responsibility, insufficient to anchor it. Responsibility was present in theory and absent in practice.
The junior associate—a NALSAR graduate—was treated differently. His name was spelled correctly. It was fixed in the record. When blame needed a home, and it found one!
More than a decade later, the outcome speaks for itself. The misspelt Principal Associate has not merely survived; he has prospered—occupying media space, dispensing opinions, and being routinely projected on this very website as senior-advocate material. The past has not followed him. It has been quietly edited out.
The Indian legal system does not lack standards; it lacks equal application of them. It does not deny failure; it reallocates its consequences. Discipline flows downward. Rehabilitation flows upward. And meritocracy survives—not as a fact, but as a comforting story maintained by omission, discretion, and selective memory.
