We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Now usually anonymous complaints are not entertained by the system. but then I would advise you not to reveal your identity - we live in a third world, tin-pot republic with no accountability in any form. So, if you reveal your identity, chances are that you will experience a rebuke.
so when sending the complaint, try and attach some evidence in support of your claims. something concrete enough for someone who is willing to take action to act.
The other option is to look for someone influential or a union who can take up your complaint. Usually it's the student unions who do these things . But I suppose in a private university they are all kept out so that the studious environment is not damaged. You can try your luck getting in touch with NSUI or SFI. They may do something if they feel like. ABVP I am not sure - my experience with them has been that they are interested only in pursuing hindutva related stuff. But I guess there is no harm in asking.
all the best
They flood social media with success stories (often with stock photos or staged testimonials).
Negative reviews are buried or attacked by fake positive ones.
i got an internship opportunity at SnR legal (Mumbai) via connections. does the firm give out stipend to people who come via connections?
You may do a Bar&Bench search on this senior partner, and understand the ph value of his toxicity.
Where people and their hardwork are not given values, and every work is called a 'not good work'. It is not recommended to waste your golden years, in such a team. I have been a part of this team, and have worked there for almost 2-3 years. Think wisely, before you regret again.
Finally, let’s look at the bottom line. The alleged perpetrator of the rape has been arrested and there is clear evidence which will probably lead to a conviction.
- Is skin colour important? Should brown skin thumbs up be preferred to yellow skin?
- Is the laugh-cry emoji a no-no, because of its appropriation by the far-right to mock the left and marginalised groups? Should a simple smiley or skull be used?
If you want yourself to feel (a) rejected, (b) de-moralised, (c) feel like you are good for nothing, (d) like your parents made a mistake by giving you birth, then please do join, else dont! Have heard horrible stories from insiders in AZB about this guy, who made junior's life difficult. I have been a junior to him once in some other firm, and i thank god that I didnt spoil my career much with him, and god saved me from his behaviour, rudeness, non-sense arguments.

Bar council is already over burdened with no time for legal education . Many times people would have tried to complaint to bci about their own college standard but nothing happens . Better would be to approach ugc, or ur state higher education regulator through email .or the Chancellor of univ if it is governor .read the act establishing your uni.
Bci is not useful they wont give heed
Ik this thread would attract people who would say ‘leave’ or how it’s the worst, etc. Please stay away as I can’t quit rn!
What is it this time? I'll tell you what it is! We go from having a Harvard man - LLM + SJD - who was also ex Sullivan and Cromwell (not to mention being a serious thinker and writer about, and scholar of, the law) being CJI, to having... who exactly? The guy that played truant at university? ▮▮▮?
where am i most likely to hear from? i will be applying through the traditional route of emailing so can yall help me with which one would be my best shot? in terms of prompt hr also. if anyone has personally applied without connections pls guide. (i’ve heard that azb and sam are referral based only, so any such insight helps, thanks)

The problem has arisen with the last three batches of judges. The appointment has been done in high numbers since 2018-2019, without, any construction of houses (or court complexes for that matter). Delhi, in view of its population, needs even more judges, which is why the HC is regularly appointing more judges- but the infrastructure for the new officers is in the hands of executive i.e. delhi govt, and not the HC. There is a clear lack of coordination between the government and the HC. Currently, there are writ petitions ongoing before the HC regarding lack of accomodation, the fruits of which can be seen only in the next 3-4 years.
Having said that - once you get an accommodation, after a few years of waiting, you have it till you turn 60. So it really is a matter of time only.
i have seen people working with someone in chambers and then moving to corporate or in house? like they do it so we can too, right? i mean that one year of work ex could be our reset??? or are we doomed??

You can confirm this exercise by taking a mental asesssment of fee earners and administrative staff in your firm. You will see the administrative staff is largely Maharashtran whereas fee earners are Marwaris and Gujaratis.
See how things change but remain the same despite the firms sending rainbow adorned emails and making claims of becoming less of a boys club and valuing diversity? The real issues don't crop up in culture debates.
Now there will be some pointed exceptions perhaps here and there. There will be reasons for it. But the river largely flows in one direction. Why? Guess what is the profile of clients. Yes, you guessed it - its Marwaris and Gujaratis.
Now you may argue saying there are a lot of international institutions. But who are the folks manning the international institutions here. This business is a relationship business. Clients want familiarity as familiarity breeds trust.
What you do get in Bombay over Delhi is a lot more client facing roles. By not being one of the Mr Jains or Mr Shahs or Mehtas you actually stand out. If you get a chance to be in the room in the first place.
So little point in complaining. The odds you face are the odds you face. The smart thing to do is to figure out how to align with them carefully. Also, be careful - you maybe blind to some of Delhi's own biases. Delhi has its own Punjabi cliques.
You need to leverage what you have - on average - many feel the Delhi lawyer is more street smart. The exposure to litigation is useful even in transaction work, it you are in the corporate side. Use that to impress clients.
To be clear street smart doesn't mean stabbing your colleagues in the back. Please note you will see a lot that happens in Bombay T1 sponsored Hunger Games. Good luck Mr. Lateral at T1.
Pls help.
but no worries, NKC can continue in the interim.
Example 2: Kiara’s rank makes her eligible for NUJS in the merit list and Bengal domicile list. Does NUJS keep her in the merit list and admit a Bengal domicile candidate headed to NLIU Bhopal? Or, does NUJS keep her in the Bengal domicile list abs admit a merit list candidate headed to NLIU Bhopal?
Is there any policy on this? Does it depend on the VC of the concerned institution?
- if one of your parents obtained a job through reservation, you should not be allowed to avail of reservation. Otherwise, children of IAS officers will monopolise jobs, instead of poor people in rural areas (from the same community).
- you can only exercise a shot at reservation once. For example if you enter NLSIU using reservation, you cannot use it again to apply for government jobs.
- reservation should be given to urban citizens only if no rural citizen has applied for the same slot.
These policies will maximise the benefits of reservation among such communities.

Hazra is NUJS.
Both collaborate for student and faculty exchange.
NUJS should leave CLAT and accept West Bengal Law Entrance Exam.

Every time I get into a discussion about this with my family, I do not have any answers to their practical and much warranted questions like - How would you manage in a city like Delhi and all by yourself? Or whether you would be able to make it on the whatever little salary they would offer?
I am afraid that if I join any place on the basis of their recommendation, I would be looked down upon and since I am just a beginner, I know I don’t know many things which people might expect me to know.
So should I just choose a chamber on the basis of the recommendations given by my father or am I being foolish by opting to choose to go on my own way, and working for a small law firm?
It has been damn frustrating and I do not want to pivot to UPSC/other exams as it is the same loop.
There are so many from BO 26 who have interned in top tier places and they all did it by their own merit.
There is absolutely no incentive for any firm to come and hire from our college because the crowd sucks worse than the management.
I can assure you that 90% of them won't know the different kinds of writs.
