Entering a country illegally is a direct assault on its sovereignty. Do you allow anyone to just walk in to your house and stay there permanently? Why should a country be any different? We are a middle income country with limited resources and all illegal aliens should be deported. "Human rights" is a bogus concept, "rights" are legal as per the law of the land, illegal aliens have no rights under Indian law.

You could have easily googled it or asked AI. Can't do basic research and you want to be a lawyer.

Anyways...

BUMP is an acronym for "Bring Up My Post". A "bump" comment is a post or comment made on a social media or forum post to push it back to the top of a feed or discussion thread. It is a way to increase a post's visibility to more users without adding new content to it. Bumping is common in online groups and forums where posts can quickly get buried by newer ones.

Do your own research next time.

It's good that you can admit and voice your feelings honestly. That's a great first step. These are unhealthy feelings that will not serve you, but we all have them. Don't listen to these idiots trying to shame you. You took the first step and acknowledged them. Now you need to process them and understand where they are coming from without judgment. That will shift the focus to yourself. Then you work on yourself and whatever caused the feelings. If the root cause is that you are feeling inadequate, then you can see why you think you are not successful. Or maybe you feel insecure if others do well because you are not happy where you are. The main thing is to try to understand the root cause of the feelings without judgment.

Why would the government want to incentivise people to produce more kids? There should be no concept of "demographic duty" till the population drops to 500 million. That will be more sustainable for the country and planet as a whole. Otherwise we will just be struggling to support everybody with a shortage of resources.

Yes this is toxic, and reeks of a great insecurity within yourself. You having a 'crush' on her during your college days does not warrant or obligate her to be with you and pour out her ambitions even if she liked you once initially. i think you need to measure yourself up and focus on what kind of a person you are if you have these thoughts of 'genuinely' not wanting her to clear it. that said, i hope she clears the interview.

I have cleared (Chartered accountant) CA foundation in September 2025 I also gave clat in 2024 December for 2025 however I was only getting my state NLU of bihar.

So is CA better or Law if I would have gotten into my state NLU i.e. CNLU.

So should there be a regret for not choosing CNLU or I would be happy to drop the idea of not getting into it.

I am 18 btw

Recently saw a case fought by two T1 partners (along with respective Sr Advs) wherein the SC rejected the petition outright.

As the partners at high posts cannot now spin it into an opportunity for appellate litigation, how do they break the news of adverse final decree to the client? Have you seen clients walk away? How is the blow softened (other than by blaming the counsel)?

A title says. I am a corporate lawyer at a T-1 and this job has made me completely isolated and lonely. Checking if there are any clubs or group where lawyers socialise. When I say clubs for socialising I do not mean getting drunk with random people. Seeing older people in my office completely lonely, this has started to trouble me a bit.

Usually Paralegal positions are offered to interns already interning with the firm if the team has enough work and/or they want to assess you further. For certain colleges in Mumbai though, SAM/CAM/AZB and the other T1s also approach the placement cell directly to onboard paralegals.

Workload never eases up, the pressure only increases in other forms (business development, expansion etc). Schools are generally over by 4 PM, but thanks to ever-increasing traffic, folks usually reach home only by 8/9 pm which is ideal bedtime for children. Weekend parenting can be done but a lot of weekends too involve work. Parenting in the 1990s was different as one didn’t have to constantly check e-mail and suffer crappy traffic.

RAW was initially composed of PPL drawn from various military and civil cadres. Hence it wasn't a big deal if someone reached the very top despite starting in the IPoS. Later RAW developed it's own cadre called RAS. Unfortunately successive govts succumbed to the lobbying prowess of IAS and IPS who corner all the top positions this causing RAS to bear all operational heat but never get the command posts. Even those from the armed forces who are drawn into RAW get sidelined by the IAS/IPS.

It's the same story in the central paramilitary forces. And let's not even talk about the mistreatment meted out to Tibetans who volunteered for the SFF. Despite all the big talk, as a nation we are an ungrateful lot. That includes that chest thumping nationalist jingo brigade too.

Interns are replaceable... There's always someone who is willing to do a better job... It's not our job to teach you how to do it, figure it out...

From what I have gathered, this is what most of the Partners/SA end up thinking of interns. But honestly, if you are treating the interns as expendable resources that if deemed 'not worthy' within the first week... how am I, as an intern, supposed to improve? Please understand that I am coming from a perspective of a 4th year student who has done an internship ata few big firms. Unfortunately, I am unable to see any big improvement in the work I am presenting to my partners.

At best, my work is given a few words review of 'fine', 'good' or 'thanks'. Whenever I have actively asked for feedback I have recieved very minnimum feedback or with blatant but polite 'sorry i dont have time'. It might be a unique situation but at this point if i do not imrpove my work to the level of an A0 atleast, i do not see how i can secure a PPO.

The little improvement i have seen is by comparing my drafts with my senior co interns, or at times when i have been able to get my hands on the drafts made by the assosciates.

Speaking someone who has been teaching at an NLU for over a decade now, I encourage my students to call me by my first name. For those who may not be comfortable doing that, 'Sir' or 'Professor' or 'Prof' and other variations work fine. Whatever suits the comfort level of the students and helps them to be at ease while interacting with me.

Most of the images and videos being shown are fake and doctored, unashamedly being sold as a narrative by media that have already been bought off. Just like despite a similar narrative in Bihar, the ECI is now mum about exactly how many Bangladeshis were actually found from the SIR there.

As part of the Big 4, we have briefed Mr. Shah in several matters. From my perspective, being his junior has been a rewarding experience for everyone involved.

Divya J has moved to New York. Mahir and Arihant are doing very well in their careers with their current employers and have made the most of the exposure they received at the chambers. Harshvardhan is thriving at Lumiere. Sabari has started his own practice though he isn't a specialist in tax. I am sure there are many others whom I may have missed.

I mean situation has become so worse I need to get injunction from this person. He creates situation where I am not trained enough. If I commit a mistake then it is looked as biggest blunder of office. I have worked with previous advocates but nothing like this happened. Is their some skill gap ?

Karanjawala & Co. has long been regarded as one of India’s most formidable names in high-stakes litigation. Within legal and business circles, it enjoys a reputation for unparalleled influence, especially in matters involving powerful individuals, major conglomerates, and politically sensitive disputes. The firm operates with an exceptionally discreet profile almost deliberately staying out of the limelight which has led many to view it as one of the most enigmatic, tightly-run chambers in the country.

For decades, India’s top corporate families, including the Tatas and several other high-net-worth groups, have relied on Karanjawala as their preferred counsel for complex dispute-resolution strategy. Its stature in the litigation ecosystem firmly places it in the Tier-1 bracket.

That said, entry into Karanjawala whether as an intern or a full-time associate is extremely connection-driven. The firm traditionally recruits through strong recommendations, deep professional networks, and high-level references. Compensation is known to be attractive, but the firm maintains complete confidentiality regarding its pay structure; salaries are rarely discussed publicly.

Karanjawala & Co is indeed the top name for most High profile litigation matters and got a lot of influence in the country and yes it’s definitely a Tier 1 law-firm.

Kinda considered an illuminati lawfirm, very secretive and doesn’t try to bring into public attention a lot.

Even the Tatas and many of India’s elites considers Karanjawala as their got to place for dispute resolution matters.

Gowns aren't use and throw - even the cheap ones. I used my first gown (bought in the SC) for about 8 years before some idiot stubbed their cigarette on it and burnt large holes. I've had my current gown for 13 years. Here are some tips:

1. Once you're done with court, dust it. You get cheap clothes brushes on amazon, use those. You can even use a clean shoe brush for this;

2. Dry-clean at least once a year (twice, if you are able to);

3. If possible, hang it to air out at the end of each court day.

4. Stay clear of people who smoke and wave their cigarettes around.

Honestly, if your practice is going to be mostly in the Delhi High Court, then you needn't wear a gown for about half the year (typically between Holi and Dussehra/Diwali)

But the government is distinguishing between Hindu Bangladeshis and Muslim Bangladeshis! This was the entire basis of the CAA protests pre -Covid, where all NLUs went on protest! I think you guys are too young to remember, as you were in school then. NLSIU and NALSAR students literally were out in the streets and were detained by the cops. NUJS banned Jagdeep Dhankar from campus.

The whole basis of the protest was that both Muslim and Hindu Bangladeshis should be allowed to claim citizenship of India as refugees, not just Hindu Bangladeshis.

I have had my robe for almost 2 years now - wash it every vacation (winter/summer) and it's as good as new. I plan to replace it by next summer vacation now, since its buttons have started coming out. The idea of replacing it every month seems more like an exaggeration and hyper bole - dont listen to them.

I interned there this year and the associates weren't allowed to go out of the office, usually they had 7 days working, didn't pay much, if you fell sick and didn't show up you'd not be allowed to come to office for like two weeks and they'd cut your salary or something like that. Idk about the salary thing because I have no way to verify but I saw associates being sent home for 10 days because they were too sick to show up.

The NLUs, being state universities, have an even tougher situation to deal with - completely orphaned and abandoned by their respective state governments. On top of that, they cannot do anything outside the state. For instance, NLS cannot even host an international conference in Delhi, India's legal capital/hub.

Why is it that practically all literature on lawyers of times past is written in an excessively hagiographical tone? Writers would have us believe that these lawyers were absolutely perfect in every way (at least as lawyers if not in their personal lives). An example of such writing would be this tribute to Sir Jamshedji Kanga: https://www.livelaw.in/articles/sir-jamshedji-behramji-kanga-life-and-legacy-285091. I am sure that Kanga was a brilliant lawyer but essays like these are clearly not written in a critical manner and undoubtedly do distort the truth to some degree.

One possible explanation for such writing that comes to mind is that the juniors of such lawyers come to occupy prominent positions in the Bar whenever such writing takes place. This likely necessitates the

as someone who did grow up with similar parents, maybe stop looking at your parent's entire existence revolving around you. They are individuals who have whole and complete lives outside of their children.

First take into account school hours which pretty much every child has to go through, and moreover a few additional hours with a nanny before your parents come home will not wreck a child's psyche.

Second, your parents are not your personal servants, if having a househelp frees up their time to spend with their kid, how does it concern you? Moreover after a certain age if you cannot make yourself a basic meal, maybe consider that you have bigger issues to deal with

Third, bit of an overstatement to assume that they are too busy for their children you don't know individual circumstances or conditions

fourth, the workload eases up as they move up the ladder

This will not have much impact. There are credible faces at all ELP locations. Jeetu had anyway shifted to non-tax.

RJ and NS are the key rainmakers for the tax team.

Ahmedabad litigation is headed by Hardik OG.

In Mumbai, litigation is handled by Gopal, Parth, Chirag, and Geenita.

In Delhi, litigation is handled by Udit, Kumar and Arihant. They have hired new faces at AP level also. So I don't see any impact.

ELP is largely a mumbai based firm. The client relationships are managed at Senior Partner level. Rohit Jain is the head of tax and extremely smart and respectable among the clients. He has built a solid team even after Rohan and Vikram's departure the firm still stands tall. So anyone else going will not really have an impact.

Dude - exactly this^ Do you have any idea about who Akshay Jaitley is? He is a big deal!!!

I could go on and state (just top of my head) at least 10 examples of partners who are well connected/ privileged and made it big at Tri.

Fine, admitted that it runs unlike a lala firm

But note that nothing is a true meritocracy. No law firm. It’s just not possible. Trilegal partners have sheltered and promoted promoted plenty of family members and kids who come with decent connections to get the firm more business. Having said that, they have also promoted some who come from nothing and have made it to the ranks based on just talent and luck.

But please get your facts checked before you make such bold claims.

I interned at Samvad in October. The firm is not on a hiring freeze. The M&A team seems to be actively recruiting. But the impression we got is there are looking to hire at senior levels and not freshers. Also there are many interns and it’s difficult to stand out and make an impression. But if you do, then you definitely have a chance of getting hired. Another piece of advice would be to intern for a longer period and convert it into a paralegal ship.
