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?
You guess it.
Regardless, its a mystery why the dual system was not there in Madras.
Sidenote: Does one need to be an AOR to file cases on the Appellate side as well ?
Nobody, not even any old boys club would look down upon anyone, whether from a nlu or not, 1st gen or not, deserving good person who got a silk.
So know your facts before you say that some old boy's club has been shattered by an objective process. The old boys club has long been shattered and its got nothing to do with them or their offsprings crying. It has to do with the quality of the ones getting the silk. Pray tell me, if the old boy's club is crying, which you have no proof of, why is the bar in general, which has far too many 1st gen lawyers as well, unhappy with the same? Please don't come here and bark uncessarily with whatever is trendy. Get your facts straight first.
So you havent actually, worked?

Why won't you be able to??
Will it have any negative repercussions? Can i write it again??
1. like in 2025 the physical infra is actually quite good than what I expected seeing all the YouTube videos. There are trees all over the campus, well equipped classes (Bose speakers and 2 mics for classes, even if the strength is 35 students), mess is 2 storeys, library is big with comfortable chairs, for sports there is football ground, lawn tennis, 2 basketball courts, gym, indoor badminton court, outdoor badminton court (every hostel gets one of those), etc, hostels might be little cramped but after 1-2 weeks it actually might feel normal (bathroom and toilet sucks). Apart from that overall the campus infra is solid 8.
2. Teaching quality is overall good with great external and internal faculty. We had lecturers from nlu delhi and other ones too (can’t remember all but there were handful of them). I mean till now I didn’t encounter a bad faculty but yeah, you are expected to study and research on your own (cause it’s bare minimum if you are in this career).
3. Well student quality here is okish, let’s say 65-75%.
4. Uh forget about that, I mean they have functions for festivals, but university is very strict, discipline is their motto. I heard there is a fest but yeah, I am not keeping any expectations.
5. There are two over equipped moot courts.
6. Apart from a big library to sit in, they give you a e-library access where you get access to everything you need. Like I never encountered a time when I need access to read something and I didn’t have access to. Of course list is too vast so can’t list them all here.
7. Apart from international faculty, I don’t think so we have international programs. Mostly they are for postgraduates who are doing mba.
8. Shockingly there are placement opportunities. All my seniors have interned in top law firms. There is a very strong and big placement committee, who starts working on you from the day you join. We are getting prepared to be ready for internships from the day we joined.

I’m a recent law graduate (batch of 2020-2025 from a Non-NLU). I have two publications under consideration right now but no official writing experience.
How can I become a columnist or hold an editorial position in a newspaper? Any insights on this?
If you ask such a blanket question, how can anyone guide you here?
Questions for each team will obviously differ.
I interned in march and i had my interview in july.
Also don't forget JHK loss earlier.
Did the saffron brotherhood do anything when serious allegations of financial skullduggery surfaced in MNLU Nagpur? Nothing was done at a "political level" when inquiries by judicial authorities confirmed scams at NLIU Bhopal.
And why should we expect things will change with regime exits. Scamming and killing off inquiries and follow up action is common to all political parties.
LI readers are clueless and the voting is totally biased.
Please just wear a normal black suit - not a trench coat. Wear a thermal under your shirt if you have to.
If they had a book, they’d be watering it, pruning it, and whispering sweet nothings to it. In our profession, a book isn’t leverage — it’s the last thing keeping you from being mistaken for support staff.
And talent? We have it in excess. We’re drowning in bright graduates — eager, obedient, hopeful. Half of them were elevated before they even learned how to fake cynicism properly.
But rainmakers? Actual generators of revenue and relevance? That’s where the tragedy lights come on. The S&R exits didn’t surprise anyone — they simply confirmed the obvious. Most who left weren’t making it rain. They weren’t even causing a light fog. Maybe Uday or Bhakta or Divyanshu had a passing shower in them.
The rest? Drought. Biblical drought.
In India, if you’re a law firm partner without a book, you are support staff. Replaceable. Even if you’re good at execution, the in-house conveyor belt will pick you up eventually. It’s like ageing — slow, predictable, and completely unavoidable.
And to the Sherlock who thinks I’ve revealed my identity — congratulations.
You solved a mystery no one was investigating, in a book no one was reading, for a prize no one was offering. Take a bow. Just don’t take any more time from people who actually have work.
Now smell the coffee ☕️ and get back to billing.
However, you won't understand.
Any leads regarding -
1. Renting Chambers - are there any clerks who are acting as brokers who can help find one; any other way to find a chamber; expected rent; any other information worth knowing.
2. Panel vacancies for Del HC - how does one find out about the vacancies, are they regularly posted - alternative ways of being on panel ( apart from the recommendations / references of course)
3. Any forums or portals or posts which share DHC (grape-wine) info. - that is to stay, stories, lores, gossips, Bar traditions et al.
Any other good to know, need to know info! TIA
Quite effective in tax and commercial matters
