That makes it completely unusable for any real legal work, and a SA proudly announcing their breach of confidentiality is shameful and reckless.
- The Antitrust Concern: The FTC argued that coordination among law firms on standardized DEI hiring metrics, demographic hiring pools, and candidate-sharing agreements violated competition laws, specifically Section 1 of the Sherman Act and Section 5 of the FTC Act.
- The Outcome: Under immense regulatory pressure, Diversity Lab dissolved and permanently ceased operations to avoid continued FTC antitrust investigations
The Two Sides of the Argument
- The Anti-DEI Argument: Opponents argue that if a law firm sets a quota, uses a diversity scorecard, or gives a hiring preference based on race or gender, it is no longer hiring purely on talent. They view this as illegal discrimination against highly qualified candidates who do not fit those specific diversity criteria.
- The Pro-DEI Argument: Supporters argue that the traditional legal system was never a true meritocracy to begin with. They believe that systemic biases, exclusive networking, and elite university pipelines naturally lock out talented people. In their view, DEI programs level the playing field so that actual merit can be spotted and rewarded, regardless of a person's background.

As an A0, it is one of your primary jobs to make the partner's life easier. Formatting the document would give him/her one less thing to worry about. This will help you in your current setup as well as any future places.
There is no 'right' answer for these things, follow your workplace's style guide.
Always had a liking for legal education but given some family crisis, it looked impossible back then that's why went with physics ( science background and I was much more comfortable with it)
This year gave my first attempt and got into nalsar
1)What can I expect?
2)Will my age be a hindrance?
3)I still can pass for 19-20 so I am more concerned about intership chances and other job oriented oppurtunities.
4) which exams can I keep as a backup of I am not accepted in T1, T2 firms , ( no UPSC) given most exams have a age barrier like sebi or some psus
It would be really helpful to get some valuable advice
Please
Lala firms are always penny wise and pound foolish.
I am looking for guidance. I want to pursue corporate law in future and as of now I have secured admission at NUALS and Nirma. NUALS is on basis of nri seat so the fees is thrice the usual.
Should I opt for nuals or nirma, considering i want to do corporate?
