You speak as if only one set of rights are rights. As if conflicts in the real world never involve the rights of one group being balanced against the rights of others.Do you think women don’t have rights ? Is that it ? Or do you think that people who differ from you politically shouldn’t have rights ?

Hi, I am from BO'27 since we are left with only 6 months. I just wanted to know from people in the field... should I take any assessment I am getting irrespective of what practice area I wanted, or should I be selective?
I currently don't have any offer or assessment going on but have applied to different places. I am currently looking for corporate or transactional space; however, with some follow-ups, I might be getting an assessment in dispute resolution and litigation space instead... so I just wanted to know your outlook on the market, opportunities etc in general and whether I should take any practice area, as long as there is a hope for PPO conversion.

Would really appreciate a genuine answer and reality checks on this.

Hi everyone, just wanted to know how Keystone is? Do they have different teams for disputes and litigation? What is the work of an assessment intern? Do they pay a stipend?
Like any insights on the place would be really appreciated... especially if yk about banglore office. Thanks!

To build a successful career in the aviation field, a blend of educational qualifications, practical experience, communication skills, and professional training is essential. Students can undertake aviation studies after the completion of their 12th standard education for the purpose of taking up careers in airport management, airlines, ground operations, and aviation management.

An aviation professional should possess effective communication, customer service, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Opting for the Best Aviation Course in Tamil Nadu will allow students to gain knowledge that will help them succeed in varied career paths. V.M.N Institute is an institute that offers aviation studies with emphasis on practical knowledge.

Very unlikely.. No political party likes their top counsels going beyond the brief/instruction/expectation. GS has gone on record to say that he believes that top govt counsels should keep a 2 arm distance from the govt. and owe their first duty to the people of India - not the govt. He is a undoubtedly a titan with unimpeachable integrity. I believe that the he did not even appear before the Apex Court until the then top 5 judges of the collegium who had recommended his elevation retired from office.

Firstly, please calm down. You are not going to ruin anyone's career, except for your own, in this state of mind.

Secondly, imbibe one lesson, toxicity of some kind is EVERYWHERE! Write that down if you have to. The harsh reality is that to make it in this profession, you need to be resilient and resistant to some of this bullcrap. Being a good lawyer is simply not enough. I am not trying to justify harassment, but facts are facts. One needs to develop a thick skin and play the long game.

Thirdly, if it's getting unbearable to the point that you can't continue, quit, with your dignity intact. But the tried and true wisdom holds good here: find another viable job option before jumping ship. Don't be impulsive with job switching. Make up your mind to quit, sure, but take the time you need to find the right opportunity. Easier said than done, I know, but that's the correct way to do it.

Finally, which team are you taking about?

Those working in cap marks, please let us know what one should do from the A0 position, or even before that, so that they can become a rainmaker partner in the next 10 to 12 years. What habits should one adopt, like writing articles, constantly networking, doing an MBA?, or anything else, without connections here btw

Breaks my heart seeing gifted and well-educated lawyers discussing the alms they expect at Diwali. This 'naukar' mentality kills the country. The only thing that matters is professionalism at work, good work and well-negotiated pay for all the time you dedicate. If that is absent, move out. Move somewhere else, or start something of your own.

TLDR:

- IITs had almost 100% elite castes before reservation

- Only 10% of IIT coursework is humanities: "The crux of the argument is that the time of elite engineers should not be wasted on frivolous matters like sociology and history."

- "Clubs and societies are based on anglicised elite-caste interests"

- Professors and students say: "“I am casteless – I am simply Indian"

- 75% of all dropouts are caste quota students

- "The entire system seemed hand-crafted for a very selective group of people: English-speaking, comfortably middle-class, urban Indians with Western socio-cultural currency."

Will leave it to readers to pick their side, but just wanna say that Senior Advocates commanding lakhs in fees are expected to focus on the case and not waste time trolling, heckling and doing irrelevant things. Time is money for the client.

I applied for an internship there through the website a week ago. Is there anything else I need to do? What is the next step in the process now, and do they still conduct the two-stage assessment test, or has the process changed? Also, I am a third-year student at a tier 3 NLU with two internships, one at Luthra and one at M.V. Kini in Mumbai, with cap marks team. I also have seven publications on platforms such as IRCCL, NLSBLR and ACLR. What are my chances of being selected for an internship there?? I genuinely need help on this one

HAS LEGALLY INDIA RETROSPECTIVELY REMOVED ALL REFERENCES OF THE PARTNER NAME IN THIS THREAD?

Wtf is this censorship? How much has ▮▮▮ for this? Mentioning the name of the partner that filed a petition is not derogatory in any way. Unless you believe that the petition itself is derogatory?

moderators need to explain yourselves. What’s the rationale behind later removing references to the partner from this thread?

Quite remarkable that someone who has supposedly only interned with the team would have such an in-depth and nuanced understanding of its billing practices, the diversity of work handled, and the team’s overall approach to work. Speaks volumes about accuracy of this information.

Prefer Veena or Atul. Stay away from Swarnima. Her team is very toxic. And don't even get me started on their HR Tanvi. Madam only will talk to you with basic respect if you're from a Top NLU and you've rejected a PPO from any other T1. She considers everyone else unfit for Trilegal.

Hello, to all the GNLU people (both seniors and juniors reading this). Let me spill some secrets, since I was recently invited as a Judge for the Intra Round Moot at GNLU. Bdw, I am from the GNLU 2019-24 batch. There were about 6-7 ppl from my batch who were judging the last Intras, and I can confrim that they were discussing how to give marks, and what all marks to give to whom, based on prior connnections Even, they were discussing during our informal conversations how they were luckly that their flight tickets and accomdation all were borne by the college, and now judging the rounds was just a formality which they wanted to do. All of us had also partied the day before the round began, and nobody was even bothered to read up on the moot problem. They were instead enjoying their free stay, travel and food which the college had given. Overall, I can just say that I was no less, and even though I hate to admit, however I had marked randomly since I was feelng very sleepy during the oral rounds

Hi, I am due to intern at JSA's Delhi office. However, I have not been informed of my practice area yet, and there is not much clarity from the HR either. I am aware that the Corp teams sit mainly in Gurugram, but could someone please tell which teams other than Disputes sit in Delhi? I would do anything but Disputes. Could only find one odd BnF, Competition, Cap Marks and Projects partner on their site- rest are all Disputes. Please help.

I got a call from Elevate (Gurgaon) from internship. I kinda fucked up and they told me they would forward the application and keep me updated. Commented on my cgpa that it’s too low. What are the chances to get an internship there and how is the internship experience there? It was my first call interview. I genuinely fumbled so badly. I am so embarrassed.

Some strong allegations. Very obviously ▮▮▮.

Magic circle firms and other international firms and MNCs can also ask Indian law firms to demonstrate what measures they are taking to prevent caste discrimination and hostile work environment to people from non-Brahmin non-Baniya backgrounds at work place. They could make this a condition for awarding work. That would create some real pressure for change.

Worked at this firm for a short period as had to shift cities but had a fairly good experience.

First and foremost, it offered a healthy work-life balance with working hours between 10 AM to 7 PM so you could get time for yourself which is rare .Also it provided learning opportunities across diverse platforms ranging from company matters before the NCLT , arbitration matters to high-value commercial cases, such diverse exposure is not easy to come by !!hence though the stint was brief yet can call it enriching !!

don't go if you want a life outside work, at the senior level no one has a life and the same expectation is for everyone in the firm and the pay does not match the amount of work they make you do. Regardless, they have insane number of deals and are clearly prioritizing quantity of deals even if they do not have the bandwith to fulfill the timeline which is why everyone is overworked constantly

The teams are largely toxic, with an excessive workload, practically no weekends, and an unhealthy work environment. The people can also be quite difficult to work with. Although the firm gets good transactional work and offers decent exposure, the problem is that most of the workload is simply pushed down to the associates without adequate support or guidance.

Bruh why do u have a problem with this ? As a part of MCC, this is how it happens in other NLU(s) like nls, nalsar and nujs.
We have surpassed NUJS and NALSAR to some extent in mooting. It's only a matter of time that we may win jessup (the team tackling jessup this time is really good, I personally know them and know that NLS is afraid of them)

Any tea on this? Why her, given Sudhir's preference for NLSIU-foreign educated alumni and the abundance of NLSIU alumni working on public law? And Poonam Saxena is hardly an A-list academic!

Any government role here?

I've been here for sometime, and honestly it's a great place to work. The focus is on quality, perfection, innovation, and individual growth. Work hours are 10-7, but after that you're generally left alone unless something is truly urgent. With around 50 people, nearly 70% have stayed for over 5 years, which says a lot. The firm has grown from 10 to 50 people in five years, owns its four-floor office in Lutyens' Delhi, and keeps expanding. There's no rigid partnership structure, which probably helps things run smoothly. The only expectation is that you work diligently and keep improving, and the rewards grow with your progress. In today's job market and how things are going around in legal fraternity, it's pretty fine place to work.

Received good reviews from few of the friends working or have worked there. The office has comfortable and safe environment with strict working hours and no work calls after office. The type of cases are diverse and members are motivated to independently handle them.

Ofcourse the job of an advocate in first year is to research and support the team that he/she is working. But that will only help you to lean towards perfection and is followed in every sensible office. You rather than rushing towards voluminous work should focus on horning your skills that can take you a long way in this profession.

Being an experienced member of this fraternity, I would suggest that just because some personal questions are asked in an interview that should not be a reflection for an office, you can always deny to answer them. Rather than falling for such shallow opinions, each one should see the workplace with regards to its progress and ask people who work there about their experiences through LinkedIn or any other place.

Next hearing in Jan. Always possibly court could lift the stay and confirm the dismissal.

This is patently false. Government offices maintain a caste roster only to ensure that reservation in entry level jobs and promotions are met. No government office announces castes of people belonging to different categories like this for maintaining any kind of inter-caste harmony.

Also remember, the first person to top the written civil services exam in India was from a Dalit community.

The article focuses on faculty and IITs and IIMs. Not sure if NLUs are included in the analysis.

The main senior is and her daughter essentially do whatever they want to do. They intimidate the juniors, they threaten them, and they make sure that people have a miserable time working there. In the past one month (as of today - 31/10/2026), around 10 people have resigned, that too without a job offer in hand. The HR is a person with anger issues and needs to be dispensed with immediately.

The Partners put out LinkedIn posts to mock and bully the juniors (and put out whatsapp statuses for the same, Yes it is true). Not only that, some actions they have taken and the words which have been used in official and unofficial conversations have been highly inappropriate. If someone knows how to take legal action against such practices, firms and partners, do reply and help!

Every proof is well documented. Every word can be substantiated.

A0 - 14 + 2-3

A1 - 15.6 + 3-4

SA1 - 18 + 4

SA2 - 21 + 5

PA1 - 26 + 6

PA2 - 31 + 8-9

AP1 - 40 + 10

AP2 - 48 + 12

Partner - 60 + 15

Executive Partner - 80 + 20-30

Senior Partner - 1.5 + 50-60

Principal Partner - 2.5 + 80-90

Not a day goes by when someone does not resign. There is absolutely no value for human effort, either you work like a machine day in and day out, or you simply "cannot handle work pressure", there is absolutely no in between. It is not that these things are not pointed out to the managament. But, their egos are so sky high that, that they refuse to acknowledge that they can be in the wrong. Do not join, it is truly not worth it.

People here have blindly rooted for Patek etc, but maybe that’s not feasible given inflation, the weak rupee and job uncertainly? How about this list then?
