The reason it seems easy to earn money on AS is because juniors working on AS pick up briefs from other courts as well, not just HC. Whether Fort, or Bandra, or Dindoshi-Borivali, it doesn't matter.

HC seniors don't pay. Period.

Furthermore, client's paying capacity on AS is almost always on the lower side, than the OS- client's paying capacity.

Naturally, money flowing in on OS is always more than AS.

Every other stakeholder, including the filing-clerk, stationery guy, and the canteen guy are paid before juniors.

AS juniors unfortunately never get the stage which OS gets

Hi all, I wanted to know which international firms it is possible for Indian students to get vac schemes in. I know HSF is one that accepts Indian students but the competition for this one is high at my university: resultantly, I'm mainly looking at White & Case, Linklaters, A&O Shearman, and Slaughter & May. Do share any helpful information or experience you'd have, thanks!

Hi! Looking for Tier 1 firms to apply for online internships, during and after March 2025. Doing a running internship isn't a possibility this semester, however, online internships are ideal since I need to gear my CV towards firms but am only on break in June, July, December and January. Additionally, should I be gunning for any specific practice areas? Do bump and reply, thank you!

May I suggest getting a full vitamin panel done? Sometimes, the most simplistic of deficiencies produce the most confusing consequences (had a horrible Vitamin B12 deficiency - kept forgetting things, items kept falling from my hands, felt sleepy and energyless and depressed - ended up thinkin I just sucked as a lawyer)

The ex-girlfriend of the law student, who fell to death from the seventh floor of an apartment in Noida on Saturday, has been arrested in an abetment to suicide case. She was produced in court which granted her bail.

According to police sources, the investigation has revealed that 23-year-old Tapas, an LLB student at Amity University, died by suicide after his ex-girlfriend refused to patch up with him. When police told the court that Tapas's friends tried to convince his ex-girlfriend to patch up with him, but she refused, the court noted that this did not amount to abetment to suicide and granted her bail.

My friend’s cousin (who was in the second year of college) recently died by suicide cause of bullying at the hands of his batchmates …

This made me wonder, what makes you guys bully people in college, workplace or other settings? Bullies of India, why do you bully?

What makes you target a particular person? What could potentially deter you from bullying?

From my experience, I have seen that bullies target weaker people than them to elevate their social status and gain approval in their group…

Usually, they target someone who stands out or is “different”…and also, people who stay alone tend to get bullied more as they don’t have social backing…

Hi, guys so I am a student trying to figure out which private university I should apply for BBA.LLB and heard about Jindal being a good pick, I appeared for the OLETS with CLAT and got into Woxen, SLS Nagpur and don't know which private law universities I should apply for that will be great for me hope you can help me out with you honest answers

Hello,

Hope you all are doing good . I think I will get into SLS Pune for BBA LLB course . I come from middle class , however my parents have enough saved up to sponsor my education for SLS Pune. Now, the thing is I have few doubts being a first gen lawyer , with 0 connections .

1. Does the University helps in getting internships in T-1 firms ? As I am first gen lawyer , with no connections , can I get an internship in T-1 firms ?

2. How are the placements ? Like in reality (Internet is saying different figures , but I want to know the actual ) . What is the average package ?

Hi everyone,

I started preparing as soon as I graduated with a law degree 4 years back from a tier 3 law school. As the title suggests, I couldn't make it. Now that I'm sick of trying to make it work and realise my IFS dream, I feel completely lost as to which way to go in life. Got 2 silly internships to my name so no chance of landing a job at a decent law firm. I'm 28 now and hardly know anything about litigation. Please, please help me with some advice. Thank you.

I don't know what this debate is all about. My daughter got into a Tier 2 NLU is her first attempt , she aced SLSP easily. In her next attempt she got into a Tier 1 NLU and currently studying there. She aced SLSP in her second attempt also but she told me dad it's no match to the CLAT.

How many internships did you do in total? And how many corporate/M&A internships did you do? I'm doing my 3 year llb in 2nd year right now, it's constant rejections in corporate law/m&a internships. I only have a couple of IP and a couple of litigation internships. I need to get atleast get one corporate law/m&a internship as a start to go by when applying for the next. It's frustrating to see students in my batch getting corporate law internships through "connections" as they say without less internship experience than me

I f**d up by taking law. I'm in my 3rd year,.so stuck in between. Cannot quit at all. I did couple of internships to see where my personality would fit; litigation in courts, corporate firms, few NGOs and quickly found out I absolutely cannot work in these environments. I love studying law, but I can't handle the extreme social interactions. So which jobs, if any are there, where I can still be in law, but have least interactions ? Please help. Serious answers only.

Mumbai is always the best bet due to sheer volume of vacancies followed by Kolkata rn due to an expansion but avoid chennai/pune.

Delhi is decent, as for team for a PPO anything you have experience in is your best bet to convert but purely ease of converting would be a niche team like funds or capital markets which you can grasp without too much difficulty as well.

From Non-Billable:

🚨 Milbank LLP is doubling down on its finance credentials.

The firm is rolling out a leveraged finance-focused training contract for London trainees.

Trainees on the ‘LevFin Track’ will spend 12-18 months sitting in the firm’s leveraged finance department, followed by at least one seat in a different practice area, with the aim of qualifying into leveraged finance.

The first group of five trainees on the LevFin track are due to start in September.

Milbank takes 12 trainees a year in London and pays market-topping salaries to its grads.

First-year salaries are £65,000, with second-years on £70,000.

That matches US rivals Davis Polk, McDermott and Sullivan & Cromwell as the best paying in the City.

looking for some insight on the PPO scene in T1s/T2s for this year. Are firms amenable and open to PPOs? Del, Bom and Blr only? and what are the chances of securing a T1 internship if you've only interned at T2 firms before? how much does GPA really matter provided you've somehow entered a T1 firm (contact or through college)

1. Sudhir's title is "Dr", not "Mr". Learn about these things kid. He did a PhD at Oxford (they call it a DPhil there, 'cause they gotta be different from other unis, but DPhil or PhD, the title doesn't matter - it's a doctorate in law, and the best doctorate in law there is in the world, to boot).

2. Academic achievement is primarily what law school is about. Your parent or loan provider isn't coughing up valuable dollars for you to get drunk or high. They are investing in your future, hoping you will make something of yourself. Sudhir and his regime is helping you do that!

CAM'S IP team has hardly any experience ? Are you sure ? The IP team has been formed by 2 Anand and Anand partners and 1 director for the patents section also from Anand and Anand, and we all know Anand and Anand has been the best IP law firm for decades, with stellar reputation and enviable recognitions and client base. You stated that people have left CAM IP team due to bad WLB, whereas the team has been formed around1.5 -2 years back and almost entirely be people who left with the Anand and Anand folks who joined CAM and there has been no exits. Not sure where you found out that people have left. A team which has been formed 2 years back vs the team which has been there for decades and as of today has around 80 lawyers. Also, the paycheck at KCO IP team does not even close to Trilegal, AZB or CAM for that matter. Ask around and you will get to know the magnitude of the difference. If there were no difference, people.wojld not have moved from KCO IP to Trilegal, AZB or CAM, it has never been the otherwise round. Also, to clarify, I neither work at CAM or KCO but has been in the IP space for quite sometime to differentiate what is mindless bashing coupled with fake PR and what actually the facts are.

Clearly, there is at least one NFSU PR agent on this website. As evidence see: the downvoting pattern and the comments analogising to asking Pakistan military about India or Indian military about Bangladesh. If that is the best PR NFSU can do, they should really stop wasting the money!

Words that describe NFSU and NFSU Law:

- Multidisciplinary, multi-campus
- Very well funded, received ₹2254 crores in June 2024
- Institution of National Importance
- Small batch sizes
- No backdoor entry (no domicile and no NRI seats)
- Location advantage (Delhi) for Law
- Super affordable, no need to take an education loan
- MHA link (hence ED, SEBI, CBI, and FSL are covered)
- Unique specializations (data science and corporate forensics in NFSU Law)
- Research and PG focussed (of the 70+ programs, only 6 have UG component)
- Faculty strength (doubling numbers in the next few months)
- Clean and transparent (no financial irregularities)
- Credibility (only academic institution whose reports are accepted in courts as evidence)
- National Mission (critical to the three new criminal laws)
- Faculty in the World's Top 2% of Scientists

All of these are facts, not opinions. As far as internships are concerned, you already know about them. Remember, NFSU is primarily a STEM university.

This post will attract a lot of dislikes and toxic responses. That's an indication of NFSU's success and impact.

You'll only get hatred and jealousy-filled responses on this platform stemming from their own insecurities.

Yes, you are right. The students are securing very good internships. Also, remember that the BSc-LLB (H) differs from what a few state NLUs offer. The BSc component in NFSU specializes in Data Science. The other option is the Delhi campus, which offers the BBA-LLB (H) specializing in Corporate Forensics, with the advantage of location (Delhi).

A couple of seniors have left the team in the last 6 months apparently for similar reasons.

Generally from what I’ve heard and seen, the team doesn’t have too much work. You can expect to have good amount of WLB. But career progression, and pay can certainly be an issue.

What is the hiring scene for the batch of 2026 in Bangalore? Are all firms hiring? Is there a freeze? Partial freeze?

Anyone with a reliable source please help. Have heard a lot about the firms from Mumbai and Delhi shelling out ppos lately. Not a lot from Bangalore. Please help.

OS seniors at least give decent opportunities.

There is no equivalent to the scope on OS. OS is a safer and robust option. Far more enriching, interesting, financially gainful, and dare I say, creative, too.

AS is a sinking ship. Work is already drying up on the AS. All AS work will be over and the AS Bar will collapse the day the Kolhapur Bench comes up.

AS seniors are pure egoistic arseholes.

No paisa, no opportunities.

Of course, the last part applies when you're an outsider. You shall slog for their raja betas and rani bitiyas.

If you have an option, go for an OS senior. Don't work on AS side. The oldies (them 'old boys' and a good number of 'old girls') are just waiting to squeeze juniors till the last blood drop; all till their bacha/ nibling comes in.

The actual advocacy work is on the OS

AS is just a sorry excuse, only a step above the black coats yelling "Affidavit! Affidavit!", outside Magistrate Court premises.
