Omg enough with the Pomo bullshit. We know what academic is- of or pertaining to scholarship and education. You’re in a law school ! Not day care ! Being healthy is important too but you don’t need credits for physical education courses or nutrition courses. Having good relationships is important too but we do not hire life coaches and “relationship experts” to teach this stuff in the classroom in law school ! There’s too much real stuff to learn as is ! I would rather universities taught economics , history, sociology and political science than this stuff. You will devalue your own degree.

These are your big civil rights issues ? Keeping the gate open past midnight ? Socialising in the library till 3 am ? Honestly why should anyone take you seriously. People need to be paid and need to be available to work all those hours for those things to happen. Have y’all considered how your behaviour impacts others ?

Busses to the airport ? Has the BMTC shut down all of a sudden ? How spoiled are y’all ?

Physiotherapists on campus ? I cannot think of a single other NLU or heck university where such things are made available at university cost.

Students genuinely in need should get extra insurance that pays for it. Most universities only have very limited first aid stations and maybe an ambulance to ferry sick students to a hospital. It’s not a spa.

Honestly none of these demands seem reasonable or moderate or even necessary. We have all gone to law school and had none of these things and been fine. You do not need to socialise in the library till 3 am. Borrow books and study in your room. You can be like students across the country and use public transport. Get your own physiotherapist. These absolutely are luxuries and any university seeking to build and grow should cut back on costs responsibly where possible. Do you think JSW and Infosys gave money for you to socialise in the library past midnight ? And if money from their grants had been spent on nonsense like this do you think they would give again? I’m pretty sure all spending by university is made public- you can just look that up. Not to mention funding organisations actually do usually demand accountability from the orgs they fund.

Many parts of this are simply not true. No one was made to cry by the VC. A student with poor mental health got emotional while speaking to him and burst into tears. That’s not the same thing. Why should anyone believe any of this nonsense ?

This website is extremely irresponsible for continuing to post unverified one sided twaddle about the VC. It’s basically just defamation at this point. He seems to be the one punching bag the mods can’t get enough of. It’s sick. You’re not the revolution. You’re the spoilt little brat who thinks losing privileges is like losing rights and who lies constantly and truly thinks he can get away with it. But we’re all done with that now. If you want to be revolutionaries write your concerns in your own name. Write a petition and make it public. After all of the things you’re asking for are so reasonable and the VC such a bad guy, you wouldn’t lose your reputation by putting your name to these things?Until then there is zero credibility to any of this shitkicking.

Jist of VC's actions

1. No action on employees for mentally and physically harrassing students. Employees have used casteist, sexist language. Students have complained multiple times- No enquiry

2. Admin thanking such employees.

3. Admin accessing whatsapp chats of student representatives

4.Closing down spaces on campus in name of sexual harassment. A reason which even UGC has spoken against.
5. Raids in hostels without any due process.

6. Schooling couples on campus for PDAs

7. VC ignoring Students Representatives and talking to them very rudely when the come with serious concerns

8. No campus life. No cultural fest. No sports fest. Everything has to be shut at 9PM.
9. Even library cannot be open post 12, coz sexual harassment and no staff.

10. Meaningless expenditure on stupid aesthetics of campus while curbing down expenditure on student welfare.

11. Increase of fees from around 1 lakh in 2019 to 4.2 LPA in 2024. (More fees than Amity Law School)

Pls buddy

Want to know which place is giving you time to think all this. If I were you, I would be worried about the value that I am delivering. You're an A0, you barely know how shit works, focus on your work and delivering value, trust me the firm will ask for the justification for 15-16lpa of cost they're spending on you the next time you go and ask for raise.

Better buckle up.

We all know of these firms who aren't very visible. Not because they don't have quality work or because they are too small in size but because they don't market themselves much. These firms have a lot of work, an impressive clientele, an extremely pleasant work environment but aren't spoken of much. You will rarely see them in published ranking reports or in the news media because they're too busy doing legal work and get most of their clients through referrals because they have a satisfied clientele. Name them.

Don't worry about it. It's the natural evolution of a persons college social life in India. There are multiple ways of building connections which of course is heavily dependent on interests and what you do with your time. In 5 years, there is a wave of incidents and experiences that a person goes through. So you will see your social group building in time as people will see you for the genuine person that you are as opposed to the initial 1st/2nd year josh people have in chilling with whoever is 'cool' or whatever. And there's no better way of having connections than through a good set of friends.

Law firms aren't like that. It's a little more professional and I would say better as everyone finally is in the same boat and understands social dynamics and maturity is a bit more. Of course there is politics and stuff but you will find a few people who you can chill with and have a genuinely chill time both at and outside work.

I know it's easy to say but you are exactly where you are meant to be and things will settle in soon so don't worry about it! Keep focusing on your interests and yourself and you'll attract what you sow. Hope this helps

Simply put, aside from NT, the team consists of one SP (who mainly handles their own regulatory work), one PA (a 2018 batch member whom NT relies heavily on), one SA (a 2019 batch member), and several other associates, most of whom are nepotism hires—either from clients or through internal partner referrals. None of them are currently up for promotion. NT is very particular about the only big client she has, often panicking over any issues, and this stress trickles down to the team.

Come come Sudhir old boy, if this is true, we're just getting a bit petty here now, aren't we? Make them read Hart and Fuller, Dworkin and Raz, Plato and Aristotle all you want, introduce loads more of academic research-focussed public law courses (the more the merrier) - full support for that, as you know - introduce an Oxbridge/Russell Group-style tutorial system, keep up the academic rigour all you like, even create a version of the Oxbridge college system. All great, actually. But this? If true (which cannot be taken for granted until more proof is produced)... this is not great my friend.

I don’t know much. But I do know this, someone is always going to be doing better than me and there’s nothing I can do. Question is are you happy with where you are? As an outsider, I would say your life is the dream life- earning well and good work environment tho little too hectic. If you are feeling dissatisfied with it yourself, then it’s a cause of concern. But it seems to be that you are just comparing yourself to others and getting stressed.

One piece of advice that works for me- remembering that we are just too used to getting stressed and worrying- we should focus on living sometimes- from what you wrote, life is good rn. Enjoy! Talk to yourself and figure out what and why you feel so.

I find his journey strange, questionable and discouraging. You don’t go from 0 to 6th gear the way he has without crazy, solid pull. Could someone change my mind, and point me to judgements where he led arguments? There’s more to this guy and Apar Gupta than what we see on the surface..dare I say, problematic..

In my uni, a senior used to call us to his room every night and used to make us work like slaves, fill his cooler, crush 'things' for hours for him and other misc activities where leaving his room was not really an option (or us as first years didn't think we had one). It was a COVID semester so he was going to leave the uni in 2 months and we were going to go to second year in 2 months. He did not have batch mates as friends as he seemed to have failed a year along the way somewhere. Seemed to be a smart guy (discussions and books in his room) and had a job in a T1 even though he had failed a year (being a T1 NLU grad does help). Anyway, now as a fourth year I shall be interning in the firm where he is, (now moved on to a smaller yet a renowned firm) and I am worried rather scared on how to deal with him and yet give the best work product. Just need advise on how to deal with such a situation/senior.

Sudhir is an esteemed scholar and the best administrator among all NLU VCs. The students must trust in his ability to run the university in the manner that he deems fit, if NLSIU is to assume truly global standards. Instead students pulling such stunts only goes to show that they are not being driven hard enough, thus rendering their minds idle and suitable workshops for the Devil. Law School students and alumni are firmly behind Sudhir and not anonymous trolls.

They are also directly retaliating against the student body now. It’s so obvious with the bs reasons they are giving. They have taken away everything they call “discretionary services”; backtracking on paying for physiotherapy for disabled students, pulling money for hostel events, stopping funding for buses to the airport at the end of trimester, etc.. They have even reduced the frequency of room cleaning because students “don’t show enough gratitude”.

Everyday is a new low... Thank you admin🙏

1. Early stage Startups are keen to hire individuals with basic intelligence for entry level roles - can progress ahead after acquiring experience and then go for a better MBA;
2. MBA right now - then finance jobs/marketing etc whatever is your preference;
3. Legal Journalism;
4. Content writing (Dying field after AI);
5. Acquire business skills and try to get jobs in consulting firms (difficult to do but I know some who have done it without an MBA at first).

Since everyone (rightly) is talking about a an ex-CJI son getting the designation, just for factual purposes it should be mentioned that one of the SLS-P guys in the this list is the son of a SC judge and former CJ of Allahabad HC.....and was elevated to Cal HC on the same say as the ex-CJI who is being discussed.

Another SLS-P in this list is the son of a Cal HC judge. Just facts.

But there is some Deep conspiracy afoot.

And someone who supported the move went to SC, became part of the collegium and later Lokayukta who did nothing. But the state Lokayukta also does not do a thing. Actually very few ppl in WB know that we have a Lokayukta. He sits on NUJS EC and did nothing when PIB and Co indulged in corruption....and even now does nothing. Just collects....

Tensions have been high on campus since the last trimester, as the SBA and the University have been engaged in a constant fight. There was a big protest last trimester. 135/137 student representatives resigned, indicting the VC for his behaviour with student representatives, which includes making some of the students cry in their meetings with him. A lot of posters were put up across the campus, and students even occupied common spaces like the Old Academic Block and the Field till 12 midnight on different days. The faculty had to finally intervene and three joint committees were made with students, faculty, and one administrative member, on them. Even though so many students told the SBA to not stop the protest, since it's a way for them to calm us down for now, the cowardly SBA insisted on running a clean protest, and decided not to go to the media, etc, for fear of escalating the protest.

The committees (Academics, Campus life, and Residence Life: issues of space and access on campus), had given their recommendations over the September break. A lot of these recommendations have been straight up rejected by the VC, ▮▮▮. He has disregarded his own faculty and administrative members that gave these recommendations. Rumour is that the VC is unhappy with a lot of these faculty and administrative members since they did not stand up to the students whose sole purpose is to malign his image as a fantastic administrator.

For instance, Gate 0 of the campus was asked to be open till 12 AM since a lot of students had faced sexual harassment (with one professor also placing on record their experience of harassment!) on the path outside the college, allowing for easier access into college. The University has simply rejected this saying that they are “reviewing financial and other administrative constraints” before Gate 0 timing could be increased.

To pretend that the University wants to implement the rest of the recommendations, he has attached impossible conditions on the SBA. The committees had recommended that the Library and New Academic Block classrooms should be open till 3 AM since there are no spaces for students to study and socialise after midnight. Even though he keeps getting one big corporate grant after another (wonder where the Infosys and JSW money is going!), the VC has asked the SBA to pay money that will be required in keeping these spaces open, like infrastructure and security requirements (like installing CCTV’s) on the SBA. If only our stupid SBA had realised as everyone from the student body had told them that this whole thing was a sham, and was never going to work! But no, they asked us to believe in these sham committees that the university had no intention of ever following in good faith.

Even more petty things that were recommended, like removing the 500 rupees entry fine for coming to campus late after the beginning of the trimester, have not been implemented. There was no logic for penalising students for not coming on the first day on campus since they already lose their attendance, and sometimes students have internships that they cannot just leave and come.The Chief Warden, Chief Operating Officer, and the former registrar all recognised this, and suggested the removal of the fine. However, the University in its wisdom has basically told them to shut up, and instead proposed a 500 rupee daily fine, instead of 500 as a whole!

They are also directly retaliating against the student body now. It’s so obvious with the bs reasons they are giving. They have taken away everything they call “discretionary services”; backtracking on paying for physiotherapy for disabled students, pulling money for hostel events, stopping funding for buses to the airport at the end of trimester, etc.. They have even reduced the frequency of room cleaning because students “don’t show enough gratitude”. How dare we ask to be treated with basic respect! And how dare we think that SBA would fight the admin to give the respect we deserve!

One of the SBA Co-Presidents had shared some incorrect information on an internal, student WhatsApp Group about how the VC had apparently called NUJS and asked them to go ahead with Trilateral without NLSIU. He deleted it almost immediately after posting it, as he learned that the information is false from a NUJS student representative. Apparently, the VC had merely indicated NLSIU might not be able to make it for Trilaterals and to consider having an inter NLU instead of having only 3 NLU’s participate.

For this small error, however, the Co-President was show-caused, and effectively forced to resign. So much for all of his good faith. In his own words from the resignation email: “I had started my tenure with a rather optimistic vision in my mind. I was of the opinion that all that was needed for the SBA to achieve its goals was to build a culture of mutual trust between the student body and the university. In hindsight, it was a rather reductive view of things. I genuinely believed in the idea that building a mutual trust between the SBA and the university will go a long way in ensuring that students' interests are heard and respected. I always believed in being reasonable with the requests that I ever put forth and balancing the interests and perspectives of the students and the university. I also sincerely believed in the need for the students to take accountability for their actions. I was certain that doing what was right without thinking twice would eventually result in the SBA getting the respect it deserves, both from the university and the student body. However, as I end my tenure with my resignation, I am completely hopeless and frustrated. I laugh at the misconceptions and wrong assumptions that I held.”

Hello, I have an internship lined up for SAM Delhi in January (but for two weeks as of now). I am a first gen lawyer and this is my first big internship and I want to make the most of it. Could anyone please advice on how to extend the internship and then also possibly for a call back opportunity which eventually translates into an offer. Also, could anyone suggest good teams which would potentially hire and have good work life balance comparatively. Also, if anyone could shed light on the hiring scene for SAM Delhi this year and which teams hire the most. Thankyou!!

Finance Minister is always a negative PR job. people, the middle class specifically are always abusing the FM so I would anyone hoping to stay in positive limelight wont be up for it. The PMO takes all the calls in current regime anyway. So, not sure many would be ready to take the fall year round. I think they will go with Taiji until the current dispensation lasts.

I am in Second year of Law School right now, and the much foreseeable friend group split just happened, and I'm left with no best friend.

I'm scared. People talk about college friends lasting you a lifetime, and even though I do have friends, and am generally liked in my batch, I feel lonely. People's groups are where they settle and stay in. I don't have anyone right now. I'm scared that I'm also not making connections properly.

How friendly are people at law firms? Are there any friend worthy people present there?

Any stories for the same?

What are your thoughts on the consultant options offered by law firms like LexFlex by KCO and CAM? From what I’ve seen, these models don’t seem to have worked out as anticipated. While the initial pitch was about offering flexibility, many people under these FlexiWork arrangements seem to have been overwhelmed with work, and the so-called flexibility turned out to be quite limited. Would love to hear if others have had similar or different experiences.

Anyone I ask in person they just laugh. I'm an anxious person in general so I need to know what happens in the AIBE? Also, what should I do about the bare acts? Should I buy on Amazon and return after exam? I'm at corp T2 so I don't need them. Also, which publication house? Any other tips?

It's upto you, honestly. There are multiple people in T1 nlus with 1 or 2 drop years, not a big deal. I would say if you end up getting into nls, nalsar or nlud (via ailet), its def worth it. That being said, DO NOT let your grades slump, try to be in the top ranks of your batch so you have a solid backup. A T2 nlu is a good foundation for a legal career. Remember that you're studying to become a lawyer, not a nlu student. Getting into a t1 does not set you up for life and neither does getting into a t2/t3 destroy your life.

Lovely people of LI, please help.
I am a final year and have internships lined up in GenCorp and B&F areas, but may not translate into offers. I enjoy both practice areas but want to make the choice that leaves me open to getting hired. Please advise.
Do B&F teams take freshers with 4 months experience in the area, or do they strictly prefer laterals? Additionally, are there enough openings at the entry level to make this a viable choice?

> “In my view as an advocate who at the age of 58 years is just capable of earning a net amount of Rs 88,000 from practice should in no case be recommended for judgeship. We cannot lose sight of the fact that a High Court chaprasi gets more than Rs 13,000 per month as salary which is equivalent to Rs 1,56,000 per annum which is almost double the income of Mrs Shukla Kabir Sinha from her practice as a lawyer.”
