This is the least you can do. When you get up in the morning, after you take a dump, which empties your bowels. Get back on the bed and quickly do 50 crunches. If you do this everyday, you'll burn small amount of fat and get good abs. You're core strength will be maintained. This is what I've been doing since 7th class. Always had abs since then and have remained slim.

You'll have to quit smoking, no doubt about that. Cancer sticks are not good in the long run. If not cancer, you'll start to see the effects on your cardiovascular system when you reach your 40s or 50s.

I think its high time due process is honoured. #MeToo attempted to side step that.

I don't know about this case.

But lawyers should know that the accused starts of with a presumption of innocence.

Unless that statute says otherwise.

Right now rape or other allied allegations remain neutral for good reason.

OP here........more positive development for NFSU.

Assam gets a ₹300 crore science city, spearheaded by NFSU with its 50-acre campus.

https://www.buddingforensicexpert.in/2026/03/assam-science-city-nfsu-integration.html

This is called real funding. Not only does NFSU gets massive funding from the MHA, even the respective state governments are also pitching in. Love this.

Haters can continue to hate, but it makes no difference to NFSU. It forges ahead and even becomes an example for a developed country....Joh Jita Wohi Sikandar. UK, using India as an example, must be quite unsettling for all NLU students, as they are in the habit of going ga-ga over UK universities and scholarships. This is playing out in reverse.

so i am a 3rd year law student and want to intern in boutique firms that deals with arbitration and insolvency . Can you guys give suggestions with respect to their tier . Also i have not written a single good research paper in any area of law or have good internships , how difficult would it be to get internship in these firms considering i am from tier 99 clg

3/5 of my internships have been through connections. 2 of which are Tier 1. unfortunately, the industry runs primarily on connections. i wouldn't say that i'm "possibly incompetent" - i'm just not from an NLU (chose not to go for a tier2/3 NLU despite clearing CLAT since i'm from mumbai and moving out didn't make sense at the time) and my connections still give me an edge.

Just add a disclaimer that you live with your parents who also pay for your food and daily expenses, don't travel, don't go out on weekends, don't spend anything other than expenses related to your job.

Timepass karne people show up knowing shit like this impacts others. Youre savings add upto a over 1 lakh 25000 a month - you realise that's impossible even for a T1 standard. Please refrain from using made up shit next time onwards.

I’m sorry that’s a nonsensical position. Words either have meaning or they do not. We either have a constitution or we have a country where judges can make rules without regard for what the words of the constitution actually say. Who elected these judges ?

How is something so fanciful as “self determination of gender identity” a part of right to life and liberty?

Why do law students never think beyond the policy outcomes they want ? If you give powers to judges to ignore the constitution to gift you policy outcomes today- they’ll do same thing to gift your opponents policy outcomes tomorrow.

Who are the top international law scholars in India who have completed all their education in India without going abroad ? The western influence on international law is very much evident. So any and every Indian law scholar educated abroad has that influence over them. Are there any international law scholars that truly represent the global south without being "westernised" ?

The only two names I can think of are BS Chimni and Bharat Desai. Any more ?

Why not pursue a non-transaction role in BD, KM, Innovation, strategy?

You can use a few years of experience in “business” of law (rather than law itself) and then go for MBA. You’ll get more value from MBA that ways.

Also if you stick you get decent WLB but less pay.

Greetings! I am currently 31 years old. I hold a PG in Political Science and have been working as a college guest lecturer for some time. I have been attempting the UPSC CSE for the past few years but have not been able to secure a result.

I do not wish to pursue a PhD or continue in academia, whether as a professor or in think tanks, as I find the field largely thankless, with limited engagement despite the institutional emphasis on publications.

Law has always been a subject of interest to me, and I had earlier considered pursuing it after entering the services, if at all. I have read a lot of threads on Legally India and understand the demands of the profession—the challenges of litigation, the long and demanding hours in law firms, as well as in-house roles. But, I still want to pursue it.

My current understanding of law is limited to constitutional law and the basics of certain statutes. However, I have developed a strong foundation in economics (both macro and micro), & general trade, through my UPSC preparation.

I believe I may have the opportunity to enroll in a 3-year LL.B. program in the upcoming session at a good college (possibly a Tier-2 NLU). I am aware that there may be age-related bias, as I will be around 34 upon completion.

My question is: will it exceptionally tough/remotely possible for me to enter corporate law—especially law firms/in-house—through the conventional route (internships, grades, publications, etc.) at this stage?

If, after three years, I am left with no option but to return to academia, pursuing law would be futile.

I would appreciate guidance and advice, especially from those already working in law firms, the industry, or HR.

Thank you!

There is a serious issue with how the Internship Coordination Committee (ICC) at NLUJAA is currently functioning, and it needs urgent attention.

Right now, the entire system is concentrated in the hands of one individual — the Convenor (2025–2026). More importantly, no other member of the committee has access to the official ICC email. This means that all communication with law firms, all internship opportunities received, and all decisions about which CVs are forwarded are controlled by a single person.

This setup leaves zero transparency. Students have no way of knowing:

- Which firms are reaching out to the university
- Which opportunities are actually being circulated
- On what basis CVs are being selected or rejected

Over the past few months, another worrying trend has become hard to ignore. Several students who would otherwise not realistically secure certain internships seem to be getting placed in positions that are only possible with ICC backing.

Students now have strong perception that the system is being used to favor a close-knit group. The reality, as many students see it, is that the ICC today benefits a small circle of sycophants, while the majority are left out without any clarity or justification.

To make things worse, there appears to be no active faculty oversight at this stage. With no checks in place, a system meant to help all students is being reduced to a tool of discretion.

The ICC is supposed to act as a bridge between students and opportunities. Right now, it feels more like a gatekeeping mechanism.

If this continues, it will seriously hurt the growth of NLUJAA as an institution. When internal politics starts deciding who gets opportunities, deserving students lose out.

We’ve all seen the 6 AM emails and the 12,000 number for India. Most of the talk on Blind and LinkedIn is about Cloud, NetSuite, and Dev roles.

​However, Oracle’s India Legal team is one of the largest in the country—they handle a huge chunk of global contract management and compliance. Does anyone know if these "corporate" functions are being streamlined too, or are they safe for now?

​Given the rumors of a second round of layoffs next month, what are people hearing internally about the back-office and legal functions?

At the time, Amarchand Shroff and Mangaldas Mehta operated separate legal practices out of adjoining offices. As Amarchand’s practice expanded, he eventually acquired Mangaldas Mehta’s office by removing the partition wall that separated the two spaces.

However, despite the physical merger of the offices, the original signboard bearing Mangaldas Mehta’s name was never taken down. Over time, this led to the combined identity being referred to as “Amarchand Mangaldas”.

Would give you a honest breakdown of the hierarchy, and welcome thoughts to the contrary:
Tier 1: Mihir Thakore (Top of the food chain for sure), Kamal Trivedi, Mihir Joshi, Nirupam Nanavati, Shalin Mehta and Saurabh Soparkar (Depends on the matter, but per appearance charges from 2.5 to 4.5+ lakhs)

Tier 1.5: Sudhir Nanavati (Well-connected), Rashesh Sanjanwala, Dhaval Dave and the like

Tier 2: Manish Bhatt and the like

Tier 3: Anshin Desai, Percy Kavina, etc.

Tier 4: New Seniors, such as Devang Nanavati, A.S. Vakil etc.

Is it possible to transition from tech policy to ip litigation at T1? I have a couple of years of experience at some of the top think tanks in the tech policy space but the lack of 'action' has been bothering me for quite some time; ip prosecution side seems to be even more dead from what I've gathered. I do have a few decent ip publications. How does one go about switching to ip litigation ?

Rachit is a great lawyer but a poor manager. He has zero viability on what goes around in his team. Rohan knows DPDP and is good at marketing. But unlike Shruti Rajans team which actually does cutting edge work in the crypto / tech space with equal opportunity to work on Sebi / RBI, Rohan’s practice of fintech is limited to consulting the cash cow client. Plus it’s v RBI heavy. If you know a couple of RBI directions (and if you are good at parroting them), you are set. This is unlike any other team because most tech lawyers working in regulated sectors like the financial sector are expected to know a mix of SEBI / RBI directions/ IRDAI frameworks. That work is handled by Rushabh Mania and Vipul in AZB Bombay.

The recent Delhi High Court order in the defamation case against Richa Chadha tells the absent victim of sexual assault that occurred during a flight that she should not publicly complain before an FIR and investigation can verify the allegations. So from the #MeToo revolution, Indian Courts have now progressed to an assumption that all women complaining of sexual assault are liars unless proven otherwise.

I am a student at an NLU about to finish my 2nd Year. I may be able to secure an internship with a T1 in the next 5-6 months but I am worried that my CV is not good enough to actually impress anyone there. How should I proceed? I am unsure whether I'll be able to perform impressively, but I also don't want to miss in on the opportunity.

Hey everyone,

I’m a final-year law student from an NLU, about to graduate soon. Even with a decent rank, some publications, and a tier-1 internship under my belt, I haven’t been able to land a job yet. My family is dealing with a lot of debt right now, and I’ve also taken a student loan to finish my studies. A job at this point would really change things for me and help take some pressure off at home.

If any of you know of any openings in law firms, corporate teams, or even litigation chambers where someone like me could actually get a fair chance, I’d be really grateful if you could refer me or just point me in the right direction. I’m open to doing an assessment internship where I can be seriously considered for the job.

If nothing works out, I’ll probably have to shift fully towards preparing for government exams. Honestly, this feels like my last real shot at making things work.
