Why don't you make a complaint and prove this argument to the appropriate authorities instead of coming and crying here? You do know that you are actually making things worse for the people you claim to care about - disabled people? Your post is just the trigger to set off more speculation and gossip. It was a very irresponsible thing to do to come and post like this. You claim to care that some people faking it means people without visible disabilities get a "side-eye". Believe me now, thanks to you, even more people who are undeserving of such treatment will get it.

Everything in the previous paragraph takes your post at face value - that you are actually telling the truth. I note this because there are things that seem very unusual about what you say - and I am coming from the point of view of a visibly disabled person who attended the type of flashy western university (whose disability support system is very good) that Jindal/JGLS would be trying to emulate to climb up the rankings:

1. First of all, in many circumstances, people with laptop kind of arrangements wouldn't have that in isolation. They would have it along with another arrangement, that is often called a "separate room". That's literally what it says on the tin - they'd be in a different room from the non-disabled students. Among other things, that helps invigilate them better.

2. You'd have to be the world's biggest prat to allow in internet-enabled laptops for in person examinations that didn't allow access to materials. Why! At my university, I couldn't even carry in my own laptop! (Even if I had turned the internet off.) I was given one of theirs to take my exams on. And, while my own laptop had an Indian keyboard, that was one hell of an inconvenience, because the placing of the @ symbol and quotation marks on a British keyboard compared to an Indian one are very different - an important point to note for lawyers taking exams.

Jindal as a university and JGLS as a law school may (does) have many faults, but you are making a very tall claim: that they are making elementary mistakes in walking a path that the type of universities they are aspiring to beat in the global competition do not make.

Moderators, please have this deeply provocative, problematic and irresponsible post removed, unless the author of it is able to provide proof in some form of what they are saying, or unless they give a written undertaking to you (privately is fine) that they will put their accusations before the appropriate authorities. Put a moderator note on the post to flag it as unverified material unless and until the one who wrote this helps resolve the issue one way or the other.

I know . It's not like I was going to get an internship there anyway. It's already been four months, which is far too long. They might remember or track my name, sure, but other law firms don't know who I am, and I honestly don't think they'd care enough for it to matter. Besides, all I got from Dhir & Dhir were empty promises. I think they deserve to be called out for that.

Depends on your team tbh. Can be over in 20 minutes but some teams have grilled people I know personally for over an hour. The questions are usually regarding the topic itself and can get technical. You need to know your topic very thoroughly. The partner attending it is a good sign too. Knkw the basics of Corporate law (since a presentation is for them only) as well.

For a PPO at Tri, the presentation plays a huge role. Good luck!

The sacrifice ! Of not getting your elevenses! How will you go on ? Gandhi should come back from the grave to learn from you about hardship and caring for a cause!

Attendance, projects, internships, placements and exams - how cruel the world is that it only demands you improve yourself everyday ! How unfair - none of the previous batches has to do any of this- they were all just given law degrees for watching Netflix and laying about near the lake !

Don’t call it a hunger strike ! You likely didn’t feel hunger even ! Peckish maybe ! You’re claiming to be such sensitive souls who care so much about the world ! And yet you’re appropriating the struggles of peoples who actually have done hunger strikes! Well have the humility to say what it is - you had a late lunch one day! Bullshit ! This is just slacktivism and you don’t get any points for that - even on the internet

I have an upcoming presentation at Trilegal at the end of my internship. I didnt get much work and i am entering my final year. What sort of questions do they ask during the presentation? because i'm hoping for a callback but since i didnt do much work, i dont know if the presentation can give me a callback? i want to be fully prepped, any help is appreciated.

Bo'27 - T1 NLU. DayZ is in 10 days and our PPO figures are abysmally low, probably the lowest this decade. Have heard its the same across fellow T1s as well so probably the market. We did have a few recruitment drives so far, I sat for a couple and it led nowhere. Shortlists are about to be coming in for DayZ, but given how rank centric things appear to be, hopes are little of even getting shortlisted in most as someone in the middle of the batch. My internships didn't work out either - good feedback at great places where I would want to work, only to be turned down for some or the other reason "oh we are not looking to hire atm" "our team is mid heavy" "we're switching to another firm".

I am so done with the chase man. 4 years of law school seem to assessed solely by whether one manages to get employed. Worse, I am so clueless about what to do if I don't. Can't skip classes and intern endlessly. Neither do I want to, to only be disappointedly informed about a lack of vacancy in my last week of internship. Years of co-curriculars, decent grades, publications and genuinely thinking maybe I like law, only to be unemployed. Familial responsibilities, peer pressure, the fear of not bagging a corp job when that's what you have looked up to right from your first year when your seniors would flex it - all of it is just getting to me. God, please, just give me a job. I really don't have it in me to keep stressing over it.

What did anyone of these stalwarts, bleeding hearts and their so called rivals do when such scams took place earlier or even in the states? Not justifying what's happening now. And yes there will always be entrenched opposition to scrutiny etc. Hence no point complaining that there was resistance during investigation etc. Going to court and getting fancy orders does zilch.

Same. I passed my AIBE 19, my provisional enrollment was only valid until June 2024, but by the time, the AIBE circulated the link for uploading the docs for COP, my provisional certificate had expired. But by then I had also moved to a different city for work and coming all way to my State's Bar Council Office for this was difficult+ whenever I called my State Bar Council, these guys never picked up the call. Finally, I went to my State Bar Council Office physically last week after flying down to my hometown, extended the validity of my certificate and finally uploaded the documents a few day's ago for the COP

Protests by elitists or protests by a common man makes literally zero sense for such a distinction. Just because NLU folks come & protest, nothing is going to change. Rather, have the mindset of constructive opposition instead of class based division amongst protestors itself. Also note, Chairman of BCI himself wrote supporting the government, doesn't mean the government is at not fault. Stop attaching elitism to weigh in into anything. Without NLU coming in, already more than half of protests are already successful LOL!!!

Heard the NLUM is again going through mismanagement under his leadership - no proper hostel, 73% domicile with no student diversity or batch quality, rising fees, no personal effort by VC to build relations with the fraternity and no accountability. It's been 8 yrs and 2 more left, yet he can't run a NLU well? Even CS under their new VC is doing better at least administratively and he is not able to have campus built despite getting the land, stone laid and funds. Anyone from Mumbai with their thoughts?

Ehh. I get what you mean but at this point with LLMs (because lets be honest they are not AIs) solving century old math problems, ignoring the application of this tool to our field is burying one's head in the sand.

It's a remarkable piece of software. Like it or not, it's here to stay. Might as well understand how it operates and derive what benefits you can.

The extent of dependency is fair though. But that is its own separate issue.

I am sure the man here is a predator who must be locked up and ideally whipped daily too. The woman involved is an absolutely blameless angel who must have been cruelly coerced by an evil villain into actions she knew nothing about. In fact, she doesn't even know how babies are made - she thinks that the storks come and drop them off at mummy and daddy's doorstep.

It's absolutely impossible for her to be an adult who can make her own decisions and her own mistakes, and an extremely intelligent and successful professional at a law firm where the starting salary is like $500,000 per year, who chose of her own free will to have an adult relationship with her boss, either because she was genuinely attracted to the intelligent, powerful law firm partner, or because she thought she might get some career advantage out of it. It's also impossible for colleagues (even bosses and subordinates) to date and get married and have successful relationships - it's always only the man taking advantage of the weak and helpless woman.

Why hasn't this man been arrested and executed yet??? There's video proof of his actions!!

hi, i was going through some mental health issues during my 2nd and 3rd year of law school and hence did poorly.
my cgpa right now at the end of sem 6, year 3, is a little below 7/10 and the average needed is at least a 7.5
i also am still in the process of writing my first research paper (because acc to me im supposed to find an entirely novel gap that no one has thought of before fully) and i havent done an international moot yet, didnt win at national ones i did before either.
it just wasnt the best time. i do have some decent internships though
so yes i have 2 more years to go and i will do my best, however, right now i just feel like i am doomed and wont get a job. i seriously considered going back to law school again.
so well can you please help me out and tell me if that is in fact true that i have failed and wont get a job.

Hiii everyone, I filled the enrolment form for BCD yesterday, and I realized today that I had made a stupid mistake, I had pasted 2 pictures of myself on the necessary spots but since I did not have a stapler, I forgot to enclose the remaining 3 and my form has been submitted too where they didn't check it or flag it.
What is the likely course of action next, will they call me to just submit the photos, or will it get rejected outright? Or is there a chance that they overlook it, please let me know, thanks in advance!

No. It's bad advice regardless. Most teams / firms are plagued by indecision, lack of communication, and non-existent management skills. Asking someone who obviously is not / was not prepared or aware of this whirlwind of a job to tough it out and it will get better when there is no certainty if it will is objectively terrible advice.

All of us marinate in this misery but 2 saal mein sab theek ho jayega kuch nahi hota - all it indicates is that after 2/3 years you would get to do unto others what was done to you.

It sucks. It will continue to suck. There will be days/months where you may be better off but the terrible days will more than compensate for them. Hold on for as long as you can or want to. Everybody works in firms only for the money.

As has been mentioned in this forum time and again, there is no real difference between apparatchiks regardless of green or saffron colour in Bengal. The same people would turn colour overnight and continue their antics. That's exactly what has happened. Anyone who thought that corruption would go away because BJP is in power was either deluding themselves, or else taking a very potent dose of the choicest narcotic.

Hi, I’m a 2023 NLSIU graduate, working in WCC and investigations. Have been shortlisted for Trilegal’s written round.

Current understanding is that it’ll be 3 hours long with bare acts being provided. Can anyone who’s given this round help me with what kinda questions I can expect? What kinda prep should I do?

Thanks!

Hey, i have completed my LLM, cleared net and am enrolled in phd. i want to make it in academics. Unfortunately my degrees are not from nlu.

Will doing a pg diploma from nls help me out in enhancing my cv. Also can it increase my chances of getting job as assistant professor at a good institute.

kindly share your experience with the course.

thanks!

I love the conversation on reddit. "Depressed Gen Z hates millenial happiness". So many crapping on the creepy cameraperson. Women in India really to stop this perpetual damsel in distress act or pretend like we have no agency in the things we get ourselves into.

Let me assure you most male married partners have unhappy lives and wives and would be tethered only for the sake of their kids. And most juniors if they feel someone is coming on to them know how to avoid these situations. Youre law associate and cant be this ditzy.

I am sure Wachtell will deal with this because its now public. Thankfully, American orgs will also realize this is between the male partner and his husband. Quite hard for the junior to say i was coerced when youre liplocked in the middle of central park.

JGLS has an empathetic and well thought out disability support committee which provides academic support to students with disabilities. This support is much needed and is a great approach to increasing accessibility and equity.

Like with all good things, many make the absolute worst of it.

It's growingly common practice in my batch at JGLS for able bodied students to obtain a "fake DSC." I personally know of students who suffer from no actual ailment but do have an extra friendly family doctor who can tinkeringly create whatever is needed. These students then use the committee to claim relaxations such as alternative assessments, extended submission timelines, extra time for in person exams, and the worst of all, I have seen students bring internet enabled laptops to physical mid term examinations, and ai their way through the same paper everyone else is writing (with extra time too). Of course it is undeniable that there are disabilities that are not visible, and I am not judging students for not having a visible disability. I just personally know and have heard students admit, with some pride even, on how they gamed the system with their DSC support, without actually having a condition or needing support. Since grading is relative, these relaxations really do have quite an impact, and in addition to the general student body, it's the students with genuine, especially non visible disabilities, who now get to deal with more side-eye every time they use the support they're entitled to.

The letter criticises "government inaction" but stops short of criticising Dharmendra Pradhan or calling on BJP MP Naveen Jindal to use his good offices. JGLS has also been mentioned on social media in the context of Dharmendra Pradhan. IYKYK.

if you see the pool of interns at s&r you'll know for yourself that it's not true. it survives almost exclusively on its relationship w nls which sends good crop there. but os that, most (if not all) interns are partner references and contact based. also, how rigorous can the process be if it involves only a round which is cv selection?

PhD scholar here. Teaching at a CLAT coaching. Last three years... Vacancies for Assistant Professors are usually 2-3 wih reservation. That means either unreserved don't get a seat, or one of the reserved category doesn't get a seat. So if there are 2 vacancies, one general, one SC, that means no seat for OBC-ST-EWS. Applicants 200-300. That's the reality. And it's not that seats are not there. The local state university in my hometown has 15 vacancies , only 5 professor and 10 seats lying vacant. This isn't just academia. Judiciary, APO, etc all have that problem. Now go wider and you see this in all sectors of employment. The problem isn't there is no vacancies or seats, it's that those seats are not being filled. On top of it state exams happens far and few. Judiciary exams are happening once in three years and even they take 2 years to complete the entire process. UPSC civil services used to have 1200-1300 vacancies and now it doesn't go over 800. JAG used to take 10 vacancies for men and 5 for women. Now it's 3-4 for men and for women. APO exams haven't been conducted in 5 years in various states. Assistant professor exam in states are not being selected unless you were willing to pay lakhs behind the curtains/under the table. Meanwhile you have more and more graduates coming in and more and more people doing masters and PhD, not because of interest but because there's nothing else to do. Not everyone is selected in private, not everyone has a great CV, not everyone has the connections, not everyone has the reach. All they have is blind trust in their hardwork and the system.l, that's deceiving them. Also go check and compare how much of the gdp is actually being put in education and research. This whole system is bound to fail.

LI readers are jealous and cynical people. Always trying to put down others. Never a positive word of support or encouragement.

You people are either stupid or malicious to say that they fastened during sleeping hours. Obviously the fast was during office hours. 6 hours is not as easy as you think. Some people did not drink water. Maybe it sounds easy to you, but it was just a small, symbolic gesture of support, amidst the pressure of studies, moots etc.

What have you people down to support the movement? Or are all of you BJP supporters?

"It appears that a few politicians, particularly one or two individuals with foreign loyalties, in whose veins foreign blood is flowing, are cunningly instigating and provoking younger generations to foment lawlessness. Every prudent person recognizes that such individuals have no genuine concern for the peace and prosperity of our Bharat; instead they are dancing at the tune of enemy countries. The anti- social and anti-national elements have entered this "so-called students protest" at the instance of those politicians only. Such people will stop at nothing to grab power or bring about the country's ruin. They have no interest in the welfare of students or the nation. Their sole motive is to create lawlessness, destabilize India, and seize power, and they have pursued this aim for a long time. They

want our country also to be ruined like Bangladesh and Nepal. One of these politicians frequently travels abroad and meets anti-Indian figures, including those who support terrorism. He is reputedly very close to George Soros and has been receiving huge funds intended to destabilize our country over the past decade. "

There are many Green apparatchiks in NUJS GC and EC even now. No surprising since the state govt doesn't even have its "own" in various district court lawyer panels. The AG was fumbling for answers when asked by HC recently. Guess the saffron brigade didn't even think they would actually win big this time. All this and Delhi ordained deals with Green rebels. So much for as(##)o(##) poriborton!

"T1 lawyers are the best lawyers in the country" is such a misleading statement in this context. They are the best at what they do and getting bail for people before a magistrate's court is certainly not what they do. By contrast, "your random run of the mill advocates" are used to doing this and are consequently quite skilled at it.

Not sharing the clip and it's viral anyway. The larger point here is that too many male BigLaw partners, whether in India or overseas, have a toxic mentality where they misuse their power and prey on young female associates and interns, especially those from regular backgrounds. The women are pressured to give in, under job market pressure, pressure to pay loans etc.

Wachtell must act, given that it is widely considered the world's best law firm.

Being a fresh nalsar graduate, I can assure you that despite whatever protests these guys will do or support, most of the college is dominated by a very elitist segment who just assume that every hindi speaking person is a right wing villager. Atleast this is how they exclude them at almost every level. The metro city english speaking elite dominates the discourse and anyone from outside the circle has to imitate them in order to find a space somewhere. Dont know about other NLUs, but this is how it is in NALSAR. I don't know if this hypocrisy can ever be erased. Didn't see any ray of hope in my 5 years there.

Forget NEET. Forget Dharmendra Pradhan. Forget the Palestine/LGBT flags at Jantar Mantar. The root cause is the state of the economy. No jobs. AI making most IT graduates (other than elite IIT/BITS ones) redundant.

The solution is simple. Get high GDP growth asap. Reduce taxes. Abolish bureaucracy. Improve ease of doing business. Privatise PSUs. This alone will solve most of the problems.

Pick a busy senior/chamber, lot of trial and error, but do it still, ensure they have different kind of matters. Speak to associates, figure out the culture, pay scale, upcoming future of chambers(whther the head is going to be designated or elevated) and then invest in staying there for more than a month. (Most chambers will be willing to consider you if they have a vacancy after a month of internship, provided you are diligent and have basic drafting and research skills and legal acumen.

Hi guys. Looking to join ITC. Was wondering if anyone could confirm if ITC provides housing to its legal team. If yes, which locality is the housing provided in (in each city - Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore) and is it a 1BHK? Are there any other special perks attached to taking up a role at ITC? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

More like they're in bed with the system irrespective of who is in power but with this government it's more in your face.

Considering majority of their clients have a big say in government policies aka having government support, they can't risk losing them and see their competitors/peers getting a share of their pie.
