Man. Idk what to say. I have been bashing law firms and now this. Well this is also one of the reasons i say that one does not have a future there. Its a pyramid like structure, onepartner, one or two counsels, then maybe a few Pa/Sas, then the Associates. Of the 170, how many will make partner? Even if they do become partner, most of them will face the same issue as the ones salaried partners face - no bringing in business.

Mods, please publish this comment. I genuinely want to know how someone who wants to work in a firm can even accept this. This is true for most of the big shot law firms.

Has CAM gotten insane? Hired everyone and anyone who interned with them.

170 is a big number https://www.barandbench.com/amp/story/Law-School/recruitment-tracker/rectracker-how-indian-law-firms-are-hiring-from-the-batch-of-2025-across-law-schools

Economy is not exactly growing at a decent pace. What is CAM doing?

Keep hearing whispers about VK. But no one from NLU Assam or MNLU-N are willing to share actual evidence of wrongdoing. He was quite a character at NALSAR and his name did come up in an inquiry report (Kian had reported on it). But Tau took care of it and VK never went back to NALSAR. Goodness knows which NLU will get him this time.

NLS not only developed the bench strength to pick VCs from its faculty and alumni pools but also fill up VC positions elsewhere too. NLU Ranchi, NLU Trichy etc. Ofc the recent ones are looking to get a reprieve from SKY.

Interesting that Sarasu who had replaced OVN went to Manipal but did not even apply for NUJS or other NLUs.

SKC, SKB, AG and someone from Forensic Sc resigned from EC following a complaint by KS that NKC had been capricious in making these appointments. But SKB had been appointed earlier. Why complain only now? SKB consistently batted for NKC and that too when KS was in the EC along with SB.

By the time AG, SKC and Forensic fellow were brought into the EC, NKC was already on his way out, technically. Don't understand what happened.

Hey, you said 4 faculty members resigned. May I know who were they?

I have a reason to ask. I was interviewed for an Asst. Prof. post and I met one of my old friends (who's now at NUJS) when I visited for physical interview. They said "why did you waste money to come here, the post was already promised under the table for one of NKC's stooges, who's been around here for a while doing everything to please NKC". My 7-Panel interview went extremely well, yet the person who my friend named, was selected. Also informal yet very trust-worthy another friend's source, that I was ranked next to this selected person in the merit list.

If the resigned is one among those you named, I can think of writing an email to consider me for the position! It'll be helpful! Whether my request is considered or not. Whether my email makes sense or not, I worked hard for this post, and I believe I deserve a chance at this!

you should know what you have got https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/controversial-registrar-of-nlsiu-resigns-764808.html

OVN got the HAL Chair when VR was the VC. It was basically a chunk of money to train HAL folks in contract management. Don't know what it did later. After Sudhir came in many VR loyalists got shunted or scooted elsewhere. Some immediately and others whenever transfers got arranged.

OVN was later placed on the Ness Wadia Chair something that even NLS had forgotten about. Maybe some initial batches knew abt it because it had an endowment kitty of less than 30 lacs and that came in when either NRM or NLM were heading the law school.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I would suggest that you focus on buying bare acts and getting a subscription to a good legal database like SCC Online instead of buying commentaries. The libraries of most litigators serve no function other than to give of an aura of being "learned" to clients. Physical copies of bare acts see a lot of use unlike commentaries. If you are good at using legal databases, which I would assume you are since you are in litigation, then most commentaries lose their value. A lot of good books can anyway be digitally pirated.

You mean this?

1. Great move, absolutely should be done.

2. This is not as "huge" as you seem to think it is. Somesh Taori, the guy who left NLSIU BALLB for Oxford BA in Jurisprudence a couple of years ago, said that CLAT preparation was useful for his LNAT preparation. So there are already some encouraging potential signs and similarities that can be built upon.

3. Therefore, the correct adjective (or descriptive phrase) might be "hugely encouraging".

4. My personal suggestions:

(a) Absolutely model the CLAT on the foreign tests mentioned. Perhaps the LNAT more than the LSAT, because the LSAT has been known to have issues in terms of disability unfriendlyness - being potentially disproportionately bad for blind test takers.

(b) Abolish the PG CLAT. Stupid exam. No credible country in the world I know of recruits to master's type degrees with a generic admission test like CLAT. Undergraduate performance and CV material is a far better indicator, IMV.

UPDATE: Nalsar Queer Collective has given a statement condemning Rohin and supporting Raghavi. You guys should realise that people in the queer community have all been corroborating Raghavi. They are not coming out in public because of the stigma attached. Not everyone has Raghavi's courage.

Had this firm on a opposite side in a matter before the DHC. Their drafting skills is outstanding and of course because of the family background involved in the firm their client base is top tier.

I have no idea about their work culture, but you would get to brief top seniors of the country like Geeta Luthra and Siddharth Luthra on a regular basis which is a plus point if one intends to make their base in SC and DHC.

If you want to do a PhD in Delhi. The options I would suggest are JNU>NLUD>Jamia>GGSIPU and then DU. DU is a cesspool of connections and a**-licking. Nothing more and nothing less. You would barely find professors, let alone decent experts. I suggest you apply some place else.

The sad truth is NLUs are molding kids to be corporate paper pushers. They are book smart, project smart, seminar papers smart and grade smart. But not street smart. They have no access to real political party influence. The only politics they have seen is small student body politics for SBCs, which is more a popularity contest for a small group of elites. They don't know what politics really is, forget about how it's played.

On the other hand visit JNU, DU or BHU. Not a day goes by when some or the other socio-political BS-ing is happening. The class work is negligible, but the street work is aplenty. The kids may not be book smart, but they're street smart. These kids will not make it to corporate, because even corporate knows they'd question everything in the internal structures. That's why they make better lawyers, judges and civil servants.

So, if you want to live a simple salaried life, then join NLUs, where you'll be taught to be a paper pushing corporate slave.

Or, get your hands dirty in the real nitty gritty streets by joining DU, JNU or BHU.

Yeah LSAT doesn't work like our entrance exams. It is only one factor. A bad score can create problems but a monkey can score well. I understand if these exams are so hard for you that you feel very special when you do well though. US schools look at much more than test scores. They openly accept legacy students, which you would know if you weren't trying so hard to tell yourself that NLUs are ivy leagues.

"can anyone tell me that it really wants any preparation?

"What was the level of questions of legal english and maths logical one can pass or it’s difficult and needs a preparation before attempting it ?

"Please tell me the level of questions with an example if can please"

Anyone who writes English like this after having studied law at university for at least a couple of years, seemingly, would need a lot more than "a preparation [sic]". I, unfortunately, am unqualified to give guidance on this subject.

Therefore, I will quote a very old man who was a U.S. attorney I used to correspond with at one point of time - he and I belonged to an email list-serve. He had this pet phrase which he used all the time which I love, "Please advise as you like", which he'd use to end every message. Can't help but feel that that's most appropriate here.

Is PETA using scientific logic or being performatively woke? They are saying:

- "Mumbai’s skies wouldn’t be the same without pigeons. With feeding bans, these gentle birds face starvation. "

- "Fears around pigeon-related health risks are exaggerated."
