Does anyone have any idea (or even just a guess, frankly) about when the scorecards and the list of shortlisted candidates for the SC Clerkship exam will be released? By this time last year, the scorecards for the previous exam had already been released.
Shelf lives of products are so short these days that that is unlikely to happen, in any case.
If you’re looking at corp/full service law firms- 1L pm for Bombay and 70k pm for others
this makes so much more sense. I tried GC but it was so mundane and i found myself not engaged in any higher-order-thinking. Thanks for your input. Are you working in the US in TMT itself?
I'm hoping for Nujs. Can someone tell me about SBI scholar loan ? Do we get loan before admission or after admission? Give me full details, thank you.
Hi community! Could you please help out your fellow colleague (and fellow LI readers) by suggesting therapists in the city for in person therapy, if you or anyone you personally know has had a good experience with their services. Would really appreciate! :)
Comic Sans is the ultimate chhapri font, but Calibri isn’t far behind. I think TNR and Arial are best.
KKVenugopal - large collection of Souza, Husain, Jamini Roy, George Keyt,...he also has Aurangzebs battle sword

Sibal has Husain, Gaitonde, Souza

Gsanks has Jamini, Gangooly, Paresh Maity, and a Dali

Rohatgi has Husain, Tyeb, Souza and Graft
Does SAM benchmark salaries based on your last drawn or do they align it with internal bands when you're joining from a tier 3 law firm?
Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas. Best law firm in the country for debt practice. Why don’t you bother reading the news?!
If you can, get a laptop that can be used as an iPad yk those flexible ones. I think Lenovo has some in tour budget. If not, choose laptop over iPad
What do you mean? If you've got a PPO after allegedly the hiring is done that means the team did want to hire you regardless right? This wn't affect your prospects ig
Did you guys see? People from 2017 batch are now partners? Would that make them the youngest in the firms' history?
Please remove one like please admin mene galti sey 70 kardiya isko. It was perfect
Hi everyone, does Amit Sibal sir hire juniors, if yes then what's the learning curve like and how do I approach sir?
Now it has come to this.......celebrating on receiving a mere ₹15 crores. This is no different from the desperation of additional domicile seats for a mere 7 acres of leased land.
Wow. So many haters in the comments. Smells of mediocrity with a hint of the sack
No, check out saudewalaindia on Instagram. It’s reliable and they do have 1 year warranty too!

I got myself a mac from them last year. Still working like a charm
At one time, I believe judges used to read the SCR headnotes and edit if required
You really should get some coaching in logic. It is clear that you've never had any good teacher, let alone Sudhir.
Service industries are typically like this...I think. I may be wrong
Laptop. You'll need it to draft documents primarily. Bonus point about having a large screen. It will help u in your practice days as well. Get an ipad later.
Get a LAPTOP, MOOT SUBMISSIONS REQUIRE WORD, TYPING AND FORMATING ON A IPAD WOULD BE CUMBERSOME AND POINTLESS, YOU WILL NEED A LAPTOP FOR SURE
Won't a refurbished laptop come with it's own set of reliability issues? Considering how I wish to go through the next five years on a single laptop, it seems better to go for a new product.
Can someone who has interned with SFIO (not standing counsels) provide insights about the structure of the internship?
Kian is gay. Unfortunately, he cannot marry a man in India. He's looking for law firm jobs in the UK.
True, generally not an issue in T1 NLUs, except maybe GNLU. But lowly colleges? Those are hell. Not just for queer people, but also for women, as all the men tend to be ▮▮▮.
What should be the ideal difference (in percentage) between an A0 and A1 salary? What are the A1s being paid across T1s and T2s (with firm names)?
Don't take the bait, liabilities (civil and criminal) for publishing the wrong stuff whilst making money are much worse than when doing so pro bono, and it's not like you're going to make enough money to cover the gulf like a real internet company.
When we were in law school, we would crown at teachers and lawyers trekking stories of how privilaged we were. Now, I see my colleagues doing the same to students.

#academiaisascam
HNLU wale GNLU ko generally bhool jate hain ya bhool jana chahte hain 😊

Ye bahot purana yaraana hai
So it was NUJS practice, in those days, for students to try and harm (officially play a prank with) anyone they disliked by using fireworks?
Please just learn how to email well and talk to people at the firm clearly. I got a PPO and don’t think I was particularly smarter - I did write terrific emails to the HR. So maybe that.
What would you want to see in such a section? (just to be clear, we have no intention of charging :)
Has anyone received any communication from the HR yet? They’ve not contacted me since emailing my offer letter.

Any tentative timelines for when they reach out? Will the induction happen? If yes, around what time?
any insight would help. I am set to intern there in june and have heard wonderful things
Please put this same write-up in your dating profile. I'll then be sure to (NOT) right-swipe you. Condescending snob of the highest order. Someone should make an app for fewer than 10-20000 people just to kowtow to His Majesty's superiority complex. What sheer nonsense.
Will the season belong to RCB as they are going to win their first IPL title?
Think only Khaitan has their own font. Guess what it’s called? Khaitan. Shit, but king shit.
How is it to intern under GR Bhatia at Luthra and luthra competition law team
NLUJ has 12 at the moment (from T1s and including 1 from Links).
I don't understand why people go on talking abt toxic bosses wlb etc. If you want to work on cutting edge disputes/transactions with big clients you put in the hours and effort. Be grateful you earn more than others
Who owns which paintings by which artists and costing how much?

Anyone with paintings costing 5-6 crores upwards?
Get a refurbished laptop. iPad would be too cumbersome to use at times. There’s always going to be a fear of compatibility issues too.
Usually judicial clerks or junior editors of the SCR. The name is printed at the end in the current editions.
I agree! Ashutosh is an awesome guy to work with but couldn’t say the same about ▮▮▮
Can anyone please enlighten if there are any practicing Advocates/boutique firms who prefer WFH model with some court appearances. Would like ton switch to this model for the sanity of my mind for a while. Anyone?
ab ye sawal toh unn college ke admin se hi puchna chahiye na
mods, I guess this post should be pinned for like a month or 2. Will help people post updates on hiring trends and help others get leads on where to apply
tbf, batch of 27 across all t-1 nlus, and all law schools in general have been struggling a lot with internships.
man, give us the buzz on how to land these good internships. Been really struggling with it off late
seriously though guys, please be credible- do you know anyone personally who has been hired yet? People from my college (t-1 top 3 nlu) have been interviewed after call-back internships and still not recevied an offer
What business is it of yours? What right do you have to ask details about others' medical history? Your behaviour in inputting this comment is the exact problem. Mods, unpublish this at once.
No no, I've heard they have a different number. I've heard they only have 7.
Only 1 from Trilegal
It's that time of year when one can’t help but reflect on the metrics used for law firm promotions? some noticeable imbalances, perhaps? Human bias is real, after all. Thoughts and perspectives welcome
Partners joining? Yes. 2 partners joined form Kco

Batch of 26 getting 26 lakhs? Fake news. The person is getting 13.2+1.2. Maybe a little more.
I believe they have a they have good L&E team. However, it's bottom heavy with majority of the people being associate and only a few SAs.
I feel that this site needs to have a premium section. Kian can charge a small free for pro membership. Maybe, identity verification can be done to keep out trolls.
Make it international. Can't wait to make out with Kirkland lawyers.
People from T1 NLUs are, but those from lowly colleges may cause issues.
They have the right to set conditions that they think fit for your learning. However, this does seem like a strange one!
Protest. Now. Full scale strike, stop attending classes, bring campus activities (such as they are) to a complete stop.
If you are asking those of someone, then doubtless you have those yourself. Start with that first.
Chill out dude, there is no need to be this passive aggressive. This is a platform for asking such questions and I asked because it is important to me.
Nope. Gay man here. The discrimination is rampant, apparent and painfully obnoxious. Live your best life but no need to disclose your private life to colleagues, no matter what your orientation.
Ugh!! I have a better idea-- just give the whole country free NLU degrees. Happy?

When will you people understand that such populism leads to inefficiencies that hurt the Indian economy?
