So then it's only natural that NLSIU alumni will send their kids abroad.

Quoting from The Print on which colleges the rich and famous in India go to. Naturally, children of NLSIU alumni will head here too.

Ivy League institutions like Brown, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, University of Pennsylvania and Yale make the list from the US, and University of Cambridge, London School of Economics, Imperial College London and King’s College London are among the institutes listed from the UK.

Yes, they are apolitical. Do you see JNU-style politics and hooliganism there? The STEM/Business world is generally apolitical worldwide. NLUs should emulate then. I concede that at a couple of IITs some students have set up some Ambedkar-Periyar-Phule society and are trying to preach communism, but it's a small fringe outfit set up by students mostly belonging to the HSS (Humanities and Social Science) department. Just ask any IIT-ian: the HSS department is the least respected department at IITs.

I will say go for a job which has a better chance of you being in the city. In judiciary u will spend the majority of your life in villages which is not bad but you will have to consider good schools for your children and good hospitals or medical facilities for your aging parents which is difficult to find in villages or small towns. Other than this, you will never have stability, judicial officers get transferred every 3years and you will keep moving around the state.

My advice would be to opt for judiciary if you are applying for the Delhi Judiciary else go for a legal officer's job which will ensure stability.

Ugh. Stop it. The point of words is communication. It is not to establish yourself as morally superior. I’ll use gay or LGBT. Because those are people whose rights I see actually being affected. They’re a community that is fighting for material thing. There are no Native American two spirits here. Indian trans people are happy to adopt any homegrown labels such as Hijra , kothi etc. but we don’t need to twist ourselves into knots trying to acknowledge every word every person has ever chosen to describe themselves. Just be a person who wants equal rights. That’s enough.

All of you,
Having been students and then working professionals I am sure there have been occasions where you realised or felt a significant void/loophole/gap in the field, which if filled/corrected would really benefit/make life easier for students/professionals.

Make this a mega thread of legal loopholes/ voids/ gaps that require attention.

While I'm inclined to personally agree, this is largely a subjective aspect of JGLS' evaluation. My central point was that any fame or praise that Jindal gets primarily comes from having (on paper at least) a number of famed professors, and not from anything that the placements cell or the alumni/student body has so far achieved.

More than 40% of the members in US cabinet are lawyers including the president and vice president. They form leaderships in majority of think tanks and political groups even. The NLU alum has to act like one. While we have a fairly competitive exam to screen lawyers , we need to get more students who critically understand the law rather than memorise it.

Hey try incorporating weight training atleast twice a week, keep a trainer worthy investment. Keep your protein intake as g per kg. Take x grams of protein of your body weight. This will keep you fuller. Workout in the morning it will make you feel active during the whole day. Keep fruits and dry fruits handy with you in office. Yoga is more for flexibility if you ask. Weight loss should be more weight training and cardio. Do go overboard with cardio. Avoid sugar and oil. Go for short strolls walks when in office. All the best. Go

Khaitan, SAM and Argus are the big names that you might be looking for. Among others, you have Aquilaw, Citadel (at least that is what they claim on their website) and Ashlar.

A couple of outfits might exist around Sector V but I am not sure about it. Kolkata is mostly about litigation so its really hard to track down corp law firms as such.

PE/VC is not non-existent. The big names regularly engage in it. Smaller firms like Ashlar are also doing some work in this area. Albeit you cannot compare it to any T3 firm in one of the big cities, but its not non-existent.

Why don't you list the moot wins for NLUD and we will do the same for NUJS? Instead of making random claims? As for litigation scene, what's the parameter for doing better? You keep cooking up these claims without any real data in support. As for entrepreneurial examples, our students' efforts have been taught at Harvard Business School as a case study, so sucks to be your jealous sour grape self.

Oh, I would have told you several other choice objectives that would have fit AILET and your pathetic attempts to justify that fraud, but R won't publish those. All you and your institution care for are money. As for comparison, you didn't come up with any objective criterion for the supposed NLUD superiority either, though you people cry all over everywhere whenever someone doesn't call you Number Two

How is infra that's not relevant to your legal education a thing to boast of for a law school? I'd rather have an excellent library with remote access and latest databases than a museum at my university any day. You're not going there to create capital assets via infra, but to study. Everything else is inconsequential.

This shows that the infrastructure is coming with its own disadvantages too. But the construction won't last forever and someday there will be no more bad air.

Also, how long do you think will it take for the completion of construction?

Your reply gave an important insight, thank you for the same.

I have visited the campus though, but it was on the exam day (CLAT). I saw construction going on. But the campus is large enough for the bad air to spread. But your point is valid as the cement production is done somewhere near the hostels only.

With the design, even if they succeed in finishing 90% of it, it will be a marvelous structure.

Please tell us more, about education there and the culture of the university, mess food, and other things which you feel should be noted by new aspirants.

Lesser evil? What good has he done for the economy other than trying to derail it every now and then with stupid stunts? Unemployment is at an all time high now. Inflation is up. Everytime the market reduces price, he hikes up taxes and prevents the benefits from reaching the consumers. That's like a dictator.

I recently started working at a T2 firm but would like to move soon as it pays peanuts. How does one even move around after finding out the name of a Partner they want to work with

Directly email him/her and ask about vacancies in their team? Or email the HR mentioning their preference? Or something else?

Thank you in advance, I will be grateful

I had a question and I would like to apologise if it sounds dumb but I am an A0. So what do people do after finding out the name of the Partner in cases like this?

Directly email him/her and ask about vacancies? Or email the HR mentioning their preference? Or something else?

Thank you in advance, I'm just curious

Missing the old Legally India 😭

Kian - you have betrayed the community. Don't give stupid excuses, start it back. Start the old legally India back.

Also, don't you dare delete website telling that you didn't have money or bankrupt or anything. We lawyers can crowd fund to keep this website Alive and pay the moderator. Please keep this website alive. It has a treasure trove of information.

Kurta won't show the cakes, partner wants fancy cakes to be gazed by his clients. So yeah no kurta furta. You'll be amazed to know more than partner being creepy to want it, even few of female associate are desperate to show and get that attention and male gaze, believe it or not it's true

Holy moly some of you kids have really lost the plot.

We had people who chose NLUJ over NUJS, too (never NALSAR though). These anomalies happen because of the peculiarities of each case. One person in the college rejoined NLUJ after upgrading to NUJS in vacancies. Why? Because of the terrible hostel situation in NUJS. There were some kids from Rajasthan who chose to not move to the other side of the country by joining NLUJ instead of NUJS. These are indicative examples. No one chose NLUJ over NALSAR / NUJS because of the superior quality of professors, better opportunity, etc.

Please use your brains, you make alums feel second hand embarrassment on your behalf

The infrastructure of MNLU Nagpur is surely going to be world-class as when the construction work finishes.

NLU Nagpur has the best infrastructure in India.

NLU Nagpur's campus came as a result of a nationwide campus designing competition which was backed by famous infra developers in India.

NLU Nagpur is going to have the best campus infrastructurally among all the NLUs in India.

Hey,

It is totally fine. Even, it is quite normal for people to keep exploring their options in final year or after graduation. Many people realize, after graduation, that they have stepped in something where they don't fit in and the initial experience render them a desire to change the career pathway which they had previously thought in their law school journey to be a perfect job.

You have just gotten into your fourth year and have ample time to narrow down your career options. And the best known way to do this is internships. In law, the primary options revolve around litigation and corporate. You might have done internships in these arenas and if not, invest your time in that.

However, I'd suggest you an additional option which I personally prefer. That is, narrow down the option based on the activities you like doing. For instance, I realized during my law school life that I love tasks that involve researching, writing, curating materials, analyzing them, etc. And my internship experiences have taught me exactly opposite (things which I don't like doing), and that helped me eliminating both litigation and corporate as my career options.

So the point is, first gain secondary knowledge of various options available to a person in the legal profession (assuming you don't decide to leave the profession itself). Analyze, what a particular job entails doing and match those activities with your profile. If you believe you are short of time, then start with internship on this narrowed down area. If otherwise, I'd suggest to look for options beyond these areas as you may find a renewed interest in doing a job which you previously might have thought would not suit you or will definitely at least end up eliminating an option if you don't like it.

I am myself a fresh graduate and don't know much realities of the job market. However, currently looking for jobs I have realized that world is abound with humans who discover their true purpose in life only after having work experiences for some years. Though, there are also people who chose a career path during their studies and keep on following their goal(s) with inspiring determination. You can fall in either of the two categories. And honestly, both categories are at par in value.

Just get yourself involved with people who are actually working in the domain you would like to work, and have a conversation. You will discover the most suitable option at the right time.

All the best!

Honestly, judiciary is prestigious and worth trying, but legal office with the Government wont give you enough learning and earning. Why such an mediocre ambitions especially when you are stating your career? You should start your career with a law firm (preferably tier 1 or join Tier 2/3 with ambition to move to tier 1 in future) or at least a good corporate or MNC rather than joining a Government. If you are coming from a lower or middle classes, please do not avoid above honest advice - people seldom give right advise due to jealousy. Its start of your career - so pls be aggressive, and focus on learning and earning well. Don't get me wrong, aspects like work life balance can wait - save them for later when you start your family.

Absolute nonsense! Ahmedabad gets both the India-Pak match and the final, just because of Jay Shah. Also, semi-final taken away from Chennai and Bengaluru and given to Kolkata and Mumbai because of BJP lobby and Sourav Ganguly backing Jay Shah. The fair schedule would have been India-Pak at Kolkata + semi-finals at Chennai and Bengaluru + finals in Mumbai.

This is a very good question. For starters, don't put pressure to pick a field so early on, it will happen eventually. Be open to trying new fields of law and be bold to take up risks of changing firms and teams in the beginning of your career. Most kids get into one kind of practice area after graduation and then just stick to it, even if they are not good at it because of a drug called - salary. So never get used to that salary, maintain a simple lifestyle, save money, so that when it comes to listening to your calling which may require a pay cut your finances are alright.

Personally I have switched from litigation to corporate, and all this required something called as "self awareness". I am super happy, and I have much better perspective and wholesome knowledge than even SAs who are my age. The corporate law firm doesn't let you see the world around, you have to explore on your own, fearlessly.

Which practice areas of corporate law are transactional in nature. In other words, they the practice areas which do not have immense deadline pressure and decent work hours (by decent I mean, you leave by 8 pm).

I am sure there are some niche areas, which although has a learning curve attached to it, but once achieved gives a specialisation. (Don't want to be an M&A lawyer, many in the market already).

Please share your experiences.
