"The student-faculty ratio stands at approximately 28:1" --- Bro, you are lucky. It's better than most NLUs.

" An anonymous email circulated within the college alleged caste-based discrimination" --- Any proof?

"Students representing the college in competitions face months-long delays in receiving reimbursements --- At least you receive it

"the Vice-Chancellor has repeatedly failed to attend meetings with potential recruiters, including Tier-1 firms." --- Like that in other NLUs too.

"classrooms lacking proper ventilation, functional air conditioning, and fans" --- Most NLU classrooms lack ACs. Speak with previous generations of NLU-ites especially.

"Mental health support on campus is grossly insufficient. " --- Most NLUs don't give any support at all.

Please stop whining and recognise your privilege.

Most of these are such basic amenities that no halfway decent institutions should be without them. This state of affairs should be widely publicized and the students should write to the Chancellor if possible, along with holding formal protests. Any random local college is nowadays posing as an NLU and deceiving students and parents by defrauding them of their hard-earned money!

Hi to everyone working at Trilegal, or worked or simply know about the work culture there. I wanted to know what the work expectations will be for me as an A0 associate, what is considered good work, and what is considered subpar work. What would mean a disaster?

Also, any tips if you could share? Serious answers please.

To implement there would need to be big time systematic change in the curriculum, then what about the law firms? The court needs to look at the bigger picture i.e english is the ultimate language in India without which you cannot survive in corporate law firms, why sell a dream to people which would won't be achievable

It’s laughable how quickly Indian T1’s bastardise clients that go rotten -

Lemme fill you in - IndusInd uses all the top T1 law firms and boutiques.

OP is asking for criteria for scholarships which is not given anywhere. I don't see how asking for that is lazy.

Anyway, if you look at the profiles of people who have gotten it in the past years - it's obvious that they give it to people with the highest number of medals.

I don’t doubt that the person experiences nerve related issues but I would also be curious to know how one develops such issues working in a law firm? Or is it genetic/hereditary and not law firm related? Especially after only 3 years in the profession. Would like to protect myself from developing something like this. Knowledge is power.

Did you even try to research the procedure? Just find out his email. He takes meritorious interns, you can try your luck, June is completely off as he'll be travelling abroad and slots are booked till October. But seriously work on your reasearch skills. If you had to ask by making a new thread on how to apply at his chambers, you need to learn alot.

As the above headline says. Going to relocate in Noida in upcoming days and hence looking for an AOR offices with good pay, opportunities and growth. Please suggest if have any idea.

Note :- I've 3yr of experience in litigation & have 2 offers but far from my location (Mod please put it on top)

"West" lmao, Europe has insanely high taxation and is very socialist. The US -- cost of living, affirmative action/white male supremacy depending on who's in power, but all limited to its citizens (e.g. Indian Americans born in the US, never those who migrate now like us). Dubai -- again, precedence in jobs and salaries to those holding EU or US passports than Indian ones though the skillsets may exactly be the same

There are only two law firms in India which look down on/has policies against in office romantic relationship/hookups/family relationships/conflict of interest/nepotism - Jyoti Sagar Associates (JSA) and Trilegal.

This is because JSA, Trilegal are founded as merit based 'western' firms where they hate conflicts.

Jyoti Sagar (founder) and family doesn't have even a single share in the JSA partnership for the same reason. Same with Trilegal - it was started as a professional non family non region non caste merit based firm.

Anywhere else - NOBODY CARES.

Most Indian firms are based on family, caste ties, region etc - AZB, SAM, CAM etc.

As long as you are not in JSA or Trilegal. Do anything as you like.

I attempted clat 2025,and f**ked up and it was my 2nd drop🥲(2023 passout) I also took admission in local college, but only appeared for 3 exams of sem 1,and I will be getting admission this year in alc pune and ail mohali, so what documents are required at the time admission? , phirse tc nikal vani padegi?

A0 here, working at boutique capital markets law firm. It's been 8 months now and I am in a moral dilemma about the career path. Before this, I was working in Gen corp and M&A for about 1.5 years. I made a switch since I wanted to streamline my prospects in corporate law into one particular practice area. After sometime in my current organisation, I realised that it would be difficult to scale from here. Though the work is good and qualitative, the work culture, office politics and general atmosphere is an absolute shit show. Also, the work experience is not helping much either since cap marks is such a cramped and small space, with only a fist-full of law firms , climbing up the ladder would be difficult. At this cross-roads, I am confused as to what should my trajectory be 4 months down the line , shall I stick to the practice area, although making a switch wouldn’t be a cake-walk since the pay at my current firm is almost at –par with tier -2 standards in cap marks and t-1s this sudden would be a far cry. Would returning the gc/pe/vc, with a hike over my current pay be a viable option, since I was able to crack a few interviews in the past few months and discount my work-gap, since pe/vc and cap marks have a lot of operational similarities.

Hello. I will be coming to law school soon. I have a budget of 30-40k.

Should I go for a laptop or a tablet? Which will be more useful for me in law school?

Please also recomend good products of the category you're suggesting, if possible. Thank you. Have a great one.

Academically, the college suffers from an alarming shortage of faculty. The student-faculty ratio stands at approximately 28:1, with only two faculty members holding the rank of Associate Professor or above. This shortage has affected the academic structure, forcing delays in the teaching of core subjects such as the Civil Procedure Code, which is now being pushed to the third or even fourth year.

Moreover, there is a lack of transparency in the hiring process of faculty members, adding to students' concerns about academic quality.

Administrative inefficiency is another persistent issue. Students representing the college in competitions face months-long delays in receiving reimbursements. The administration also shows no initiative in supporting the student-run Internship and Placement (IP) Cell. There has been little to no assistance in organizing placement drives, and the Vice-Chancellor has repeatedly failed to attend meetings with potential recruiters, including Tier-1 firms.

The college's leadership, particularly the Vice-Chancellor, has come under serious criticism. There has been virtually no engagement with students, and multiple instances of moral policing have been reported. An anonymous email circulated within the college alleged caste-based discrimination by the Vice-Chancellor, leading to the abrupt removal of the Registrar. Additionally, faculty members who disagreed with the Vice-Chancellor’s practices have allegedly been forced out of the institution. Lastly, there is no clarity or update on the development of the permanent campus, leaving students uncertain about their future learning environment.

The college is currently facing a wide range of structural and administrative issues that significantly hinder the academic and personal well-being of its students. Basic infrastructure remains inadequate, with classrooms lacking proper ventilation, functional air conditioning, and fans. There is also a severe shortage of classrooms, disrupting the regular conduct of classes. The library facilities are practically non-existent, with many crucial online databases remaining inaccessible due to expired subscriptions that the administration has failed to renew.

Students residing in hostels face equally troubling conditions. The two hostels are located 3–4 kilometers away from the academic block, with no hostel mess facility available. Additionally, hostel residents face arbitrary restrictions on their use of common spaces, contributing to a stifling living environment.

Mental health support on campus is grossly insufficient. There is a severe shortage of psychologists, with students often waiting up to three months to secure an appointment. Even when slots are available, sessions are scheduled post-6 PM, which requires students to commute from the hostel to campus, which is more than 4 kms of travel without any travel facilities available from the college.

No, ordinary people in the Indian law environment cannot make valid criticisms of Sudhir, in nine cases out of ten. Especially not ordinary people on Legally India, because most of them are anyway the delinquents and the Indian equivalent of the hardened European football hooligans who set off fireworks in Sudhir's NUJS office just because he had the balls to fail them and not lick their boots like other teachers. Or, if not, then they are part of the TLC lobby whose life is one long trauma episode (thankfully) just because someone like Sudhir exists.

I have physically fallen sick after three years of doing this. I now have nerve related issues. I wish that i could have taken it lightly, made better choices and not work for toxic bosses or where I am anxious all the time. Health is the most important, please push back when it is time. Trust your guts and quit before its too late. Peaceful life is better than having too much money and nothing much in the end.

I'm ready to offer the missing piece of the puzzle. As I find you are more interested in VC of nlsiu then the issue at stake.

Some background first:

First-year BA LL.B. students are just starting out. Most of them are stepping away from the comfort and protection of home for the first time. They’re younger, more impressionable, and often deeply affected by even the smallest gestures of recognition. So, when the spotlight falls only on older students while the younger ones—who actually need more support and encouragement—are left out, it feels incredibly unfair. Unless there’s a really strong reason, there’s no justification for sidelining the younger lot.

Now, about those remarks like “tin foil hat” and “What an utter ▮▮▮ you are”—I’d like to introduce you to someone: AP.

That AP has devoted her life for the welfare of the children with disabilities, and she has secured a number of favorable orders from the Court of Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities for the education of children with disabilities, including acid attack victim, and free education for children under RPwD Act (the case is ongoing).

AP is someone the Vice-Chancellor of NLSIU knows. She comes from a struggling, working-class background and has had to break through countless barriers just to access education. Her story mirrors what’s described in this article: Outlook India – Why Transgender Children Are Often Forced to Drop Out of Schools.

Not everyone is born with a golden spoon. AP has had to fight for everything. Raised by a single mother who only studied till class 8, she was already used to being denied opportunities. So, when she was rejected from a college at DU, it didn’t come as a surprise. That’s what happens when someone dares to live outside society’s norms—they’re often punished for things they can’t even control.

Let’s ask a hard question:
“How is a child born in poverty with a Disorder of Sex Development (DSD) supposed to ‘fix’ herself just to be accepted by society—or get into college?”

AP cleared CUET-2024, and applied to the BA Programme at the University of Delhi because that’s what her financial situation allows. She’s also cleared CLAT-2025 with a rank that might get her into NLSIU, but with fees nearing half a million rupees, it’s just not realistic. That’s why she’s aiming for DU again. But here’s the thing—the university hasn’t responded to the Court’s notice about her denied admission. Worse, the principal has shown outright contempt for her. And her RTI? No reply in over 90 days. Just more proof of how deeply rooted this discrimination is.

Now, AP has taken her case to the Supreme Court under Article 32, challenging the exclusion of the judiciary from the jurisdiction of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities—based on an order passed in March 2025 on a related complaint.

“In the case of AP, the CCPD refused to initiate legal proceedings against SCLSC, citing a lack of jurisdiction over the judiciary for enforcement of RPwD Act. However, the she contends that the judiciary must be compelled to

implement the RPwD Act through the Chief Commissioner and the State Commissioner (please refer to the SCPD of NCT of Delhi and CCPD orders regarding the denial of legal aid by the SCLSC and Delhi HCLSC).”

Here’s a quick timeline of AP’s legal efforts:

1. She first filed a complaint with the Chief Commissioner regarding CLAT’s high application fee for PwBD candidates.

2. The Court turned it into a suo motu case and issued notices under Sections 75 and 77 of the RPwD Act, 2016.

3. The Consortium of NLUs replied with an affidavit saying they would reduce the fee to match the SC/ST rate.

4. They refunded ₹500 to PwBD candidates via the original payment method.

5. But—they never explained the refund publicly or individually.

6. AP filed a rejoinder, asking them to be transparent and publish a notification. They did not respond.

7. As a result, AP’s efforts were erased. No one acknowledged the change came because of her. That’s a violation of both moral values and the RPwD Act, 2016.

8. So why is this connected to NLSIU?

Here’s the link:

9. Back in 2023, after withdrawing a case meant for filing before the Supreme Court (through SCLSC’s lawyer) in a contempt petition, AP sent an email to NLSIU.

10.In it, she didn’t hold back. She said:

- 2023 NLSIU’s student profiles reek of elitism.
- On 23 July 2023, she wrote:
"You’re the Chancellor of NLSIU, and honestly, I don’t think you should’ve taken that role. The university shamelessly showcases only its upper-class students. It exists for the elite. You highlight students who ride horses, do Model UNs, have lived in several cities, studied in posh schools, and play music as a hobby—as if they’re the only ones who deserve to be seen."

On 30 April 2025, the Consortium of NLUs issued a notification referencing SLP (Civil) Diary No. 22324 of 2025 in the matter of Siddhi Sandeep Ladda v. Consortium of National Law Universities and Another. This notification, while necessary, appears designed to give public recognition to Siddhi Sandeep Ladda[the case titled is unnecessary] —who comes from a privileged family of lawyers.

By contrast, AP comes from a family illterate. In Siddhi’s case, no less than four advocates appeared before the Apex Court, including Senior Advocates K.K. Venugopal and Gopal Sankaranarayanan. Meanwhile, AP submitted a legal aid application on 31 October 2024 to the SCLSC for enforcement of her fundamental rights under Articles 15(1), 17, and 21, read with Sections 3, 4, 6, and 32 of the RPwD Act, 2016. She has received no response to date.

As always, the gates of justice appear to open only for the rich, English-medium students from elite urban backgrounds—while students from rural, vernacular-medium backgrounds continue to be excluded and denied justice, with no consequences whatsoever.

AP strongly feels that some people have an unfair edge over her—and others like her—when it comes to exams like CLAT and CUET. The system seems rigged in favour of those who have more money, better connections, and access to resources that others simply don't. These advantages include:

(a) Getting into expensive coaching centres

(b) Buying paid mock test series and fancy prep books

(c) Having parents who are well-educated and can help with studies

(d) Studying in top private schools from a young age

(e) Being part of the CBSE and NCERT setup—since CUET is based on NCERT content, anyone outside that circle is automatically at a disadvantage when it comes to getting into a good college.

AP wants to make it clear that she’s never had access to any of those things. She’s never gone to a coaching centre, never joined any paid test series, and never had special study help. Her mother only studied up to Class 8,(peon) so she couldn’t help much with academics. And AP has never studied in a private or elite school or any school at all—not even once in her life.

All this is totally valid. But the problem starts much smaller, on a gossip blog on its deathbed, which we still visit for some reason, by the name of Legally India. The dick waving that this stupid website allows in the name of healthy discussion (trolling etc about law schools) sets an example, unfortunately, for how the rest of the profession operates.

Hi, I am looking for a trustworthy divorce lawyer in Chennai who has experience dealing with narcissistic abuse cases , and charges a reasonable fee . If anyone knows a reliable lawyer or any NGO that can provide legal support or guidance, please let me know. Any help would mean a lot. Thank you in advance.

1. Not all that many have chosen to come back and tolerate the total nonsensical bullshit that is Indian academia, or to continue in it.

2. Even the best scholars in the world cannot operate properly in an environment that does not encourage good scholarship. This is what he's trying to change at NLS, so that people like himself will be able to write and research rigorously in the law at that institution.

3. No 'future hypotheticals' involved. NLSIU is making excellent progress. It takes time and effort to change from a place that primarily saw itself as providing vocational education/teaching to a Humbolttian university, where research-led teaching is taking place - because that massive transformation is what he's working on. Bar some jarring notes (sex-segrigated halls of residences by default, for example), NLS could almost be a good western uni at this point.

4. Encouraging to see new pedagogical techniques, such as greater focus on public law and legal theory. There are many good unis in the west (King's College London, Queen Mary and LSE being paradigmatic examples of this) who have dope jurisprudence faculty, but who choose (for their own reasons) to waste the talents of those faculty (e.g., take LSE's decisions to have some really good scholars in private law theory researching there, but not offering much in the way of teaching of private law theory to undergraduate or postgraduate students). As universities in the west continue to disappoint by falling into structural traps and making textbook mistakes like that, Sudhir's doing the job of observing the mistakes they make and doing his best to provide a meaningful alternative: ensuring, for example, that all his university's PhD students have funding, where in some universities outside India, people are increasingly having to partially (or even fully!!) self-fund their PhDs.

Please provide me with a detailed explanation of how the university you work at/you have graduated from does anything even remotely like this, and what that is.

honestly its really about spamming ATP. not even lying you gotta email hundreds of firms and follow up every three days. lat two months I sent like fifty odd firms over 400 emails to get confirmed in like four of them (good ones tho, two of them being T1s).

Sad as it is, if you dont have a refrence, this is the only way out there.
