The material benefit is making legal education at top universities accessible to the poor. The application fees, examination fees, and university fees are so high that a person below the poverty line cannot afford them. Do you think a family earning ₹10,000 per month can pay ₹4,000 for the exam fee, ₹40,000 for the counselling fee, and ₹3 lakhs for college fees? You might say they can take a loan, but even then, they have to provide collateral for a loan of more than ₹10 lakhs. The root cause of these high fees is the lack of funding from state governments. They are not even bothering. Legal education should be accessible to the poor.

This is nothing more than judicial overreach. HC passed these directions in a matter for quashing of FIR. This incident happened outside the college, I don't understand how does a police beat house inside the campus will help to prevent such actions. A lot of moral policing is incoming on the kids living in hostel, there were no timings inside the campus but now due to this order there will be. NLUO will become a tightly controlled space. The admin was already enough and now they will pass arbitrary orders under the garb of this HC order.

I see people jinke baap ka already law firm or some big buisness with big connection getting into law firms because of they daddy saying shit like this. Lol so much for merit it's all generational privilege go ask your daddy for internship lil bro and then talk about your idea of meritocracy and shitting on locals

You don't need fellow humans to counter you; you need ChatGPT, who will tell you you're a genius and that all of us are idiots for underestimating you. This hubris will cost you a lot. You're not going to like me for saying this, but you're not special. Hundreds go into an NLU with the exact same mindset. Looking at the current landscape of AI, be happy even if you get a job by the time you graduate.

NLUO’s reputation is sinking further and further with such incidents.

I am in my fourth year and have internship confirmation from RK Dewan and Khurana and Khurana for the same month ? being from a non nlu in which firm will i have more chances for assessment internship ? and which one is better in terms of learning experience (context: my interests are more tilted towards trademarks and copyright law)

And exactly what material benefit will you get? If INI and central institutions are so good then why do graduates from there land up to do LLMs and PhDs at NLUs and reputed private univs? We all know how many central univs operate barring exceptions. Instead why not pitch NLUs being taken over by foreign univs opening campuses in India

I feel that the central government should give a choice to state governments to upgrade to INI status. BJP-ruled states like Delhi, Rajasthan and Gujarat will agree to it, which will then put NLSIU, NALSAR and NUJS in a quandary— if they refuse because of pathological Modi-hatred by the Congress and TMC, they will be themselves in the foot, as NLUD, GNLU and NLUJ will attract more funds and better faculty.

Planning to join Jindal law school as no other alternative seemed to be viable. Due to health woes I was unable to give my all in preparing for clat and a drop year is not somethig my parents are particularly keen about. I come from a family with modest means and I will be availing a loan for attending the law school. I won't be caught up in buffoonery. Are there individuals from the "modest" social strata? Would I be an outcast simply off my financial background?

I think the student bar association's of NLU's should look into this matter seriously.

Firstly you study LLM as master of law and not master of family law.

It makes no difference which specialisation you do LLM. To become academic, Family law as good area of specialisation as corporate law or IPR.

Your NET/ JRF and PhD in law will help you get a teaching position. Best wishes

I believe you need to make incremental moves to transition out of what you are doing currently. I'm happy to speak to you and brainstrom ideas on how to use you existing exprience and switch to a job which is adjacent to what you are currently doing.

To be honest I know a relative at sls noida who had a miserable time at the university the administration of the college is pretty lax abt placements. I think even though bits might not be a brand it had Khaitan and Pallavi shroff ( AZB) on their boards plus the curriculum and teachers are way way better than sls noida. If u want to go for corporate I think bits will give u an exposure which is better suited for the future

They are all in it. 🙄

Administrative law scholars often debate the concept of 'manifest arbitrariness'. Today at the SAM Delhi office. We witnessed a live example.

Mr. Shardul Shroff gifted chocolates to every female intern for Valentine's Day. It was a generous and thoughtful gesture.

The male interns received a valuable lesson in exclusion.

I have analyzed the policy under the twin test of reasonable classification. The differentia is intelligible. However the rational nexus with the object of the celebration remains unclear.

We are considering a filing for interim relief. We seek strictly parity in confectionery distribution.

Until then. We remain the petitioners in a matter where judgment is reserved.

Happy Valentine's Day to the preferred class.

While I think you'll get lots of responses (perhaps from the marketing teams of the platforms themselves), it is important to draw a distinction between LLMs and Legal AI Platforms. LLMs are foundational models which power AI applications and platforms, such as your GPT-5.2, Gemini 3 and Opus/Sonnet 4.5. They are general-purpose models which can be used in specific contexts to make them more effective. You can imagine the LLM as the drivetrain of a car, while the platform develops everything on top of it.

Legal AI Platforms such as Harvey and Legora use these LLMs and provide them tailored context to make them more effective for legal workflows. Any legal AI platform advertising having their own LLM (Jurisphere is infamous for this) is outright lying, as only a few labs at the frontier AI companies possess the talent and compute required to develop a LLM. Be wary of this distinction when evaluating legal AI vendors, this transparency naturally lends itself to a higher degree of confidence regarding data privacy and security which are one of the main value adds of these platforms.

Surprised to see that nmims is there on your list. It should stand nowhere in the list, it's better to join any Mumbai uni affiliated college that is situated near the BHC/Bandra/Parel area or even on the western line... Atleast the attendance and lec hours will be much more relaxed and one would get the time to intern and make full use of the location advantage that Mumbai offers

Bhopal doesn't have high court bench. A tricky city to practice. I know at least 30 people from Bhopal practicing in Delhi.

Every city has people in firms, practice and so on and so forth. It's true that Bhopal has been a clat hotspot but nothing unusual, you'll find as many people from cities in UP, WB, RJ etc.

Not just the abuse of dominance cases, cartelisation too. The 2016 cement cartel appeals remain pending too. If the SC is not clear on the issue of interest payable per on the penalty amounts when it passes its judgment (whenever that may be), that will be another half a decade (best case if this trend continues) of litigation.

Companies just don’t have any commercial reason to comply with competition law. In fact, contravention is commercially logical and the small penalties and/or counsel fee to be accepted as the cost of doing business.

Only partners are allowed to use the designated parking. While working on a Sunday, an unassuming female A1 parked her vehicle in the designated spot (other parking area is shady), as no partner was in office. The next morning whole firm got an email about appropriate parking practices.

Lol, what does riot have to do with marketplace? Rational society? He's built one that thrives on hatred, jingoism and crony capitalism, the worst possible combination. We have lost our edge in international relations, keep fumbling with treaties, keep yielding to the Chinese re our territory, and don't have any backer left in our neighborhood. As far as riots go, that's probably because he started focusing on Delhi more rather than Gujarat from that point. Every single metric that a developing country focuses on has reduced during his time as PM.
