amazing display of legal knowledge here. the statutes and regulations can be forgotten and everything is discretion. I guess your studied at NUJS.
browsing through these forums help me realise jsut how bad legal education in our country is. the OP seems clueless about the existence of statutes and delegated legislation which lay down these things. can a committee frame requirements in conflict with that?
hey,

i got an internship opportunity at SnR legal (Mumbai) via connections. does the firm give out stipend to people who come via connections?
Wrong. If you knew anything about Tarun Khaitan, you'd know that it was a big struggle for his family to give him an English speaking education. He only got to know about the National Law School in Bangalore by chance.
I am sakshi , i am very eger to get a job and contribute to your firm with my hard work i have completed llb this year with powerful knowledge
Please pursue something else if you want to work for the next 15-20 years.
Bumping this up! Going through the same so can understand. I have decided to leave this profession and do something else.
now we know why caste should not be the only metric to consider elevation. It intersects with economic background and promoting someone who is coming from such strong backing does little for "representation"
If you're looking to put your inner peace in jeopardy, to constantly question your abilities, and to unlearn everything you've learnt, then AA is the ideal partner to work with. May your sanity rest in peace.
I agree, they are good set of humble people and are genuine tbh.
Vijay Pratap Singh of CAM's competition team is a Gem. He is a true gentleman I must say.
Best is Competition Law Teams of T1's and T2's firms because most of the teams leave early than any general corporate or litigations teams.
KCO could be an option but make sure that you do your internship in 4 or 5 year because KCO has only one time internship policy which will determine your PPO and stuff. If possible try KCO Bom because chances of PPO are better there.
Bangalore mein kuch nahi hein for compétition law. Some firms do allow their SAs or Counsels to sit in Bangalore though like, earlier in Trilegal and AZB one of their counsels were working from Bangalore.
Same reason why all clients are going in the direction of KM and not AS. And KM was not even with the firm last year.
But there is a papaji for ATU where all clients are originated by him so not much difference than a Lala firm!
Yes for the most part. However if some crazy timeline comes up around that time, like some crazy client who says the signing needs to happen before 31 December, then you may expect some or all of your Christmas to get ruined.
Obviously depends, you're mostly right. but the robbers at HM Revenue will take upto 52% of it just as income tax. Property tax, GST, Council tax are all something different. Enjoy your 6 year dentist waiting list with the NHS.
Yes. Sudhir drafted it and then got it signed by his friends in the Committee.
Keep on comparing the present with the worst phase of India (Emergency), and we will soon beat the worst phase.
No. In an API a JRF can get you atleast 2 points more, and does show that your academic record is excellent, but if you can't perform well in the interview, it doesn't matter. Look at your own universities faculty page and you will notice that barely one-two had JRFs.
Your cowardly anonymous insults and bitterness won’t impact the respect others have. Showcases only your pettiness.
Bhai, you need to work on your english before even applying. You will not be able to survive, or may not even qualify for interview. You need to do something and attend classes in Mukherjee Nagar on ' English Speekna in 2 days'.
Come to Delhi only if you are hard-working and cultured - please. Its heartbreaking to see Calcutta folks running away from what was once Indias financial capital and cultural melting pot - because of ideological and administrative incompetence and corruption.
Omg the idiocy. The three year degree is pursued straight after school? Or do you have to do an undergrad ? Not wanting to study as a lawyer is like not wanting to touch people as a doctor: you sound freaking insane jan.
Just curious to know. Is it worth it to join DJS at 30-31 age?
yeah it was nice till 2023-24 ish though now they’re insufferable
Sorry mate, but your screen name on Legally India is way too apt, as shown by the contents of your comments. Do you deliberately choose to be a "[▮▮▮ academic]"?
Would someone with expertise be able to compose a legal research article? If so, could you please outline the process in a step-by-step manner?
Spend a couple of years in JSA Mumbai. Learn the ropes from the best mentor ever, win her trust and then shift to JSA Bengaluru office.
Who is this troll trying to defend the corrupt administration and government? Every single NLU declares the composition of the selection panel. A chancellor’s nominee is also mandatory.
For certain people, all that matters is a VC who gives easy grades and attendance. So the shocking revelations in this news report won’t make a difference.
Any views about the team and his work? Heard that he is very strict, but a thorough professional. I am thinking to apply for a job, but skeptical if I can sustain. Amy suggestions?
what's about this firm in delhi they have a good ranking on legal 500

what's the culture pay scene there
It depends, but you’d only get a 10-20% increment over your pay then at the T2/T3.
As a final year student who is figuring out such places to join next year its a major bump

kindly share information

it would be great help
They cleaned they store room a few months ago. This post was making rounds in the office.
You likely won't get any clarity at this stage, a bit too early
So what if I practice as an advocate ? I can take that income while getting my jrf ? Because in advocacy, income is not fixed and it is not a regular salary
Thanks. I wanted to know if jrf gives me a better chance to get an assistant professor job.
Any idea on how much he offers to someone who has 5 PQE? Does he allow his colleagues to also accept their independent matters?
First of all get a clarity on your practice area. Securities and Capital Markets are two different practice areas. One is a white-collar defense (dispute oriented) the other is equity transction based.
Can you please provide any contact details, preferably an email to which i can send an application for internship with the firm? Thanks in advance
Good that they are paying for the arrogant, inhuman and rude way they treat others. Suffer.
Most of the successful lawyers practicing in Delhi were once UPSC aspirants.
As a whole you are still making 2/3 lakhs above market, it's basic maths. Don't be jealous bro. Plus bonus is 100% as long as you do 3x. It's simple maths, it's not a lala firm where papaji keeps 50% for the family
See, the rules have to be made not for the highest of people. It has to be made keeping in mind India's legal system and ground realities. A lot of the people who name already had the privilege, grew up in English speaking families, had patents who were top lawyers.
Is this the same partner who chews Gutka in conferences and also keeps them in his cabin?
Looking to go see a friend who is interning at a tier-1 firm on christmas day as that is a holiday for me as well. so, is dec 25 a holiday?
op fridges are not taxed @ 28% get your facts correct my friend. ACs are taxed @28%.
I thought the NUJS Act had set certain requirements for the search committee. if it is not constituted in terms of that, the whole process will come illegal.

but no worries, NKC can continue in the interim.
What do you expect dude? Our lecturers openly diss on those interning and make statements like how they rejected the amarchands or other big firms to teach and making money is not the only goal
if a case is not in Miscellaneous Advance List of a particular date (Lets say 2nd September), but the Computer generated date on the case status is showing 2nd September. Are there any chances that the case will be listed on the given date.
That's why he (KM) made 5 crores with such a huge team last financial year while AS made 25 crores and AM made 13 crores?
bro your'e lucky beyond imagination to have a lineage in this profession. Go by your father's references only as not a lot of people have that privilege in this profession, including myself.
How fair and transparent is the PhD process of NLU Delhi ? Last year they took 70% of the candidates who were either llb/LLM from NLU Delhi itself. How true is that ? Anyone from a non-nlu or non-nlud in NLUD doing a PhD ???
Wouldn’t a senior’s chamber offer the most opportunity to learn?
Don’t really have a preference as to the branch of law, but have a liking for criminal law and arbitration.
Trace Law Partners ? How's the firm and the Partners ? What's the scope of growth in TMT, IP?
Please do not keep displaying your ignorance and lack of comprehension. The CJI does not always send a judge as his nominee. In this case, the NLU VC mentioned above is the CJI's nominee.
All possible lazy tropes that you could come up with have been used here. If I were the moderator, I would resign in shame for publishing such an answer. How on earth does it help lawyers "think"?
Because NLU lawyers are those lawyers who have proved themselves to be the smartest that India has to produce and, at least with the T1 NLUs, they have received some of the best legal training India has to offer.
Surrender to life bro let the universe guide you. I wish you reach places where you are destined to be. Namaste.

Rathin far better among these two. JK Das will make NUJS unrecognisable in one term. He will make all NUJS kids cry and ask for return of NKC.
NUJS is Hazra.

Hazra is NUJS.

Both collaborate for student and faculty exchange.

NUJS should leave CLAT and accept West Bengal Law Entrance Exam.

Jai Bangla
Please let me know correctly who all partners/firms of any band have hiring for now?
I am. really worried. my friends at law firms tell me law is the best profession in terms of getting back into it unlike engineering. but i am worried for my future like i would be rendered jobless and all.
The stipend and call back process at Trilegal is quite transparent and swift whereas SAM and CAM you have mentioned perfectly.
Just one addition to OP's post. It's not just Jindal where people get jobs through connections. Even in Tier 1 nlus, so many
hi, can anyone tell me some legal blog websites or journals where i can get my article published. Especially for IPR.
You need to come out of your comfort zone if you wish to pursue competition law
Should consider KM without any second thoughts. He bills in a quarter what most other EPs bill in a year at JSA (except AS).
Why moderate, let everyone know what the couple is doing in TMS!
