Ha, ha............even JGLS, SLS, BITSLaw and IIULER (and the likes) are in the ambit of this audit (yes, Ashoka as well). The judicial inquiry will look into governance, transparency, and financial practices across the private university sector, and whether they genuinely operate on a not-for-profit basis.

That's why - no matter what. Avoid private universities of all kinds.

Sometimes there's no water in the well to irrigate and fertilise the adjacent land, which the well did for long. Sometimes the adjacent land would need to store the water for their own use and also, to recharge the well. Don't know who is being talked about but this is also a truth of life.

I was in the same boat. Don't quit right away...suck it up for a couple of years.....switch firms/ practice area if you have to so that it gets a bit more bearable. If you find T1 too toxic, get into a good T2 after 1-2 years in T1 and getting good in your practice area. During 0-3 years keep aggressively thinking of an exit strategy from law firms....anything that appeals to you and makes sense in the long term. Not necessarily in-house...not necessarily even law...can be anything where you make enough money to suit your lifestyle and circumstances and can be at peace with yourself and do something you enjoy long term. Think hard about what you really want to do and how it can be feasible. Think in terms of overall sustainability....not just immediate/ short term relief from your current job. Once you've really sorted out your exit plans, quit the law firm industry. Spending a couple of years as an associate at a tough law firm builds some transferable skills which can be applied in other jobs and industries where most people really lack these skills. So, learn what you can while you are in a toxic law firm job, because even lessons learnt from such places can prove to be very useful in life later on.

Fun facts:

- in 80 seats in the 2021 election, the TMC’s winning margin was less than 10,000

- former TMC MP-turned-independent voice Jawhar Sircar says there are probable 2 crore fake voters in Bengal and SIR may delete them

Bottom line: The wheeler dealers of NUJS know what’s coming.

depends on what sort of drafting. A good command over English, well-structured sentences that have a coherent flow, and free of grammatical errors and ai generated content should be good enough. You may use AI to fix typos and help you structure at times, but don't make it write the entire thing and submit it- it becomes apparent.

Off late, NLUJ has been so absurd and non-transparent about its essay competitions. They make big announcements with flashy collaborations, take in all the registration fees, and just disappear.

The IDIA ICUL NLUJ competition earlier this year had its result announced multiple weeks later. What is even more insane were the results, which NEVER CAME OUT. Multiple concerns were raised, but the OC simply refused from offering any justification and disappeared with the money.

Then came the Pranita Mehta Essay Comp. The results were supposed to be announced in July, more than 4 months ago. Again, there has been no update on it whatsover. Complete silence.

They should definitely come out with a justification for all this, especially when they have been charging money for registrations. Paying 500 bucks and working on a 3000 word well-researched essay only for the OC to disappear is so wrong to all the participants. Or maybe just stop with all the competitions altogether and refund everyone's money.

Hey, I am also a final year law student from T1 NLU graduating in 2026, I was also thinking of starting my litigation journey in Lucknow (as it is also my hometown), the problem is that i have only interned in Delhi NCR throughout my lawschool (both corp and disputes) and only did one internship in Lucknow, now majority of my connections are in Delhi NCR, even a standing offer from a AOR, but i don't want to shift to Delhi.

How do i go about building connections here with only 6 months to my graduation, please recommend some good advocates (non-senior) who run a good and professional practice in Lucknow.

Also, anything particular i need to keep in mind (apart from the usual discrimination/prejudice/nepotism (caste/gender/religion) which is a norm in most T2 cities).

not op but this is some great advice! To op - Even if u do all this, and even the team like ur work - keep ur balls low. It's completely random at times. So dont stress if u dont get it this time. U will eventually get something. Nothing to worry about. everyone gets something eventually. It's not the end of world. You will achieve something one day or the other.

Why do junior girls hit so much on guys with PPOs or placements? One of my friends from a tier 2 college got a PPO for AZB and is being drooled over by so many girls, though he has a girlfriend in the same college ...... Also, what are placement numbers in RML, RGNUL, HNLU, NLUO, and CNLU (maybe NLU Assam)? Who's winning?

The girl I liked from law school has a lifelong subscription to dating generational raees fuck-boys, and I’ve finally stopped pretending that will ever change. Fine. Accepted.

What I don’t understand is: where do I go from here?

Hinge was a wasteland. Bumble wasn’t much better. People swipe without intention, without curiosity, without even the basic ability to hold a normal conversation. It’s like the collective attention span has collapsed.

Are dating apps just performative now? Has everyone moved on to something else and I didn’t get the memo? Because I’m clearly missing whatever modern system is in place.

Please help.

I don't know whom you are referring to.

But empathy works both ways right. What about the mental health of the people who work under you. It’s one thing to say someone may be struggling, but that can’t become a blanket excuse for inefficiency or behaviour that affects everyone around them. The support staff, juniors, colleagues, and teams who have to constantly cover for mistakes, handle last-minute chaos or deal with unpredictable conduct also take a huge mental toll. I rest my case. I will not reply further.

Maybe he is going through something deeper on the mental health side. The profession can be brutal, isolating and ego-draining, and not everyone has the support system to handle that pressure at all times. We have seen phases where even competent people start slipping, not because they don’t know the law, but because they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or dealing with personal issues that nobody else can see. I am sure he would have done good work to reach where he has.

Before we rush to judge, mock, or label someone as incompetent or difficult, it’s worth remembering that lawyers are human too.

Latest:

- Kapil Sibal opposes SIR in SC

- Mamata says she will "shake the nation" if SIR continues

- EC says 2.6 million voter mismatches found in Bengal so far, number likely to increase

So which side are you on? Do you believe SIR is a genuine attempt to remove false voters and Bangladeshis? Or a massive exercise to disenfranchise Muslims so that the opposition loses?

I am currently doing a PhD in FoL, DU. It's only been 6 months and no work progress. The people are saying it may take 6-7 years at DU. It absolutely suks. I was considering changing the institute. The only application open right now is for HNLU. I wanted a genuine review whether it's good for a PhD ? My area is HR. Could anyone give a review please. The deadline is 30 November. Quick answers please.

AMD is missing big corporates, nothing else. GIFT City is still a ghost town and it's not realistic to expect a million jobs to pop up in the next 5 years. Infra is already decent but there is very little to do in the city and alcohol is banned. Until the culture evolves to meet Mumbai or Delhi standards, it won't see the bump to T1

Fully support what this man did, ie opt to have a lethal injection after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Having Alzheimer’s is worse than having cancer or AIDS, because your brain rots to the point where you become like a zombie: can’t speak, can’t comprehend, can’t eat or bathe, can’t remember anyone or anything.. better to die than live like this.

We need this in India.

Bro, SNU here means Sister Nivedita University, not Shiv Nadar! It’s a ▮▮▮ private university started by a ▮▮▮ pair of businessmen brothers who are aides of Mamata (though, as I’ve said before, these people will switch over to saffron the moment there’s a regime change — they have no ideology).

No. Knowing what would happen. The areas were the people visit will be coated with a varnish/facade if development. While the slums will be covered up with billboards and sht. Otherwise netas and babus cannot eat away from all the public infrastructure funds if it becomes first world

Cap Marks is predicted to be the most heavily effected areas when AI properly sets in. Right now, the concerns with AI in law is mostly about its capabilities to research, maybe build arguments and such. But none of that is needed in cap marks, since it's free of any application of law. All those scrolling through docs, consolidating data, etc can be easily and promptly done with a good ai tool.

About difficulty to become a partner, I think it's just as much as any other practice area, or maybe a little more because it's more difficult to stick around in CM. But since people keep leaving, if you get through 4-5 years, competition lessens. Sticking around for at least a decade should help you start your own books.

And yet all these people are dying to move to the West, where women work. Yes, everyone wants women to do unpaid labor, but no, there is nothing romantic about it. Maybe pay the moms and nannies an amount that reflects the value of this work. The problem is patriarchy not feminism.

I second this! I do sometimes feel that my govt job was much better. If you can live without brains for 9h of your office shift, you'll have a better life at home. Unlike law firms, where there's no life beyond work. One does not need to earn more to lead a successful life. You can still be successful if you're home before your kid sleeps and are able to spend weekends with family with no work anxiety.

I was a director in a company and got NBW for non apearance in executiion case of company as i have resigned a year ago. neither the case was intialted during my tendure as director nor the jugemnt was pronounced. I need to submit the court the same. pls suggest related section

This is India, boss. You'll need a thicker skin than this if you want to survive its tribunals and tell the tale. And never call out a lawyer or a big firm on LI- if their insecurity or vindictiveness kicks in, they can land you in a hole deeper than the one you're already in! Take this up quietly with your reference and leave it at that. If you're looking for professional ethics, pack your bags, swallow your dignity, and head West.

Why host foreign ministers and diplomats? Why conduct military drills? Why do anything?

We live in a cosmopolitan world, and things like these are important to maintain relationships. Not like tax money is being well spent anyways, with politicians eating up a huge chunk of it.

Don't take everything so seriously.
