In fact, Chandrachud did follow this approach. He said in a judgment that we should say “pregnant person” and not “pregnant woman”, in order to be inclusive to the trans community, as a person assigned female at birth can get pregnant yet identify as a male and may even have undergone surgery to have certain female characteristics removed. For example, the actor Elliot Page was assigned female at birth and even acted as a female in many movies under the name Ellen Page.

If you are from Mumbai,

Crawford- CM, 10k stipend, good training. Pay for Lit is lesser than Corp (around 12 not sure)

ELP - Good for tax/ trade/ real estate-12.5k as stipend, intern for the remaining part of your final year till grad and hope to get absorbed as there is no fixed tenure. Not sure about the pay which I think is 10-12lpa.

DSK- Tough to get in, the last time i check the stipend was 7.5k, low possibility of conversion into placement except maybe the RE team.

LKS- Good for tax, mid for Corp- min. 4-6months, 20k stipend, may/may not get absorbed, depends of team requirement and performance, I think pay is 14+ bonus.

Litigation chambers actively take paralegals but yes you know the situation.

Just how the hell is this possible???? This is more expensive than London and Manhattan!!!

You are just proving his words right. Pronouns and stuff is good for LinkedIn and no one gives a damn about it in legal fraternity unless you meet like minded people. But they are in minority.

Further how are you even justifying mentioning pronouns by stating you study BA subjects or you have to work with NGOs?

Continue till you enter the legal field and be ashamed or laugh on this post when you reflect back

complete nonsense identity politics. The reason SCs and STs get reservations is because for thousands of years, they have been excluded from educational institutions and government employment because of their caste.
There is no comparable history or evidence of exclusion of gay lesbian and bisexual people from universities, schools, and jobs. If there are individual instances of harassment or discrimination based on sexual orientation then one can still sue that company in civil court. I would support a non discrimination law- but not a reservation one because of the lack of evidence.
hijras and kinnars and all the rest in indian parlance are also not excluded by society. The history is pretty clear, you can look up any article written before 2015 and youll see it. These are pseudo-religious communities/ cults that self-exclude and perform castrations on themselves and other children or destitute men as a religious practice. That they have jumped on the gender identity bandwagon and sought to rewrite their history for paltry benefit indicates that they have beens severely misled.
If they stop self-excluding and stop prostitution and beggary and make good choices there is no reason they cannot find decent employment. At the very least any demand for reservation must come after a census that counts these communities and we know how many of them there are, what jobs they get or do not get, and how far they get in school. Activist judges or overeager political parties should not do it without pushing for basic facts.
Intersex people are not excluded from education or employment. Many intersex people do not even know they are intersex until well past the age of puberty.I havent heard of any employer anywhere that requires you to undergo chromosomal karyotyping or blood tests on the basis of which they would exclude you anyway.

This is all much ado about nothing. If the congress party keeps pushing this nonsense instead of focussing on class, on workers and farmers, then the congress party will alienate the common man entirely.

"The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left, and we will do that. Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system. It's called accreditation for a reason. The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers, but they have failed totally. When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics. ... Remove all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated at low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth. Direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination."

Ive worked inhouse ever since graduation. Worked in Manufacturing for a year, then joined an AIF which is also part of a larger group which has an NBFC. Started at a horribly low salary of 16k a month at the manufacturing company. Fast forward 2 years and i make 14LPA fixed at my 2nd AIF. Work life balance is unbeatable. 5 day work week. pretty much no work on weekends. Can take days off with little to no problems. Timings are great. Comparing to my friends working in firms, the pay is obvi lower but the mental peace and work life balance is unparalleled. In house has good progession as long as youre in the right industry and know how to leverage your position. The Finance industry, imo, provides the best in house roles. It also helps that I want to pivot into an mba down the line so it looks great on my future application too. And my job description is the exact same as what youve mentioned. All the best for your first job!!!

I am seeking guidance because I find myself in a distressing situation. Initially, I struggled to cope, which led to three arrears in my first semester. However, I managed to clear those by my third semester. While my marks and percentile have improved, the progress hasn’t been significant. I currently lack connections but am gradually building them. Although I don't have external moot court experience, I have participated in all the internal moot courts. I have completed three paper presentations, and one is on its way to publication. I am feeling anxious about internships. I have completed three internships: one with an NGO, and another with the Deputy Solicitor General of the circuit bench in Jalpaiguri, and I am currently interning with a boutique firm that deals with corporate law and intellectual property rights. I worry that my current experience won’t be impressive enough, and I fear that tier 1 or tier 2 firms might not consider my application due to my past difficulties. I am concerned they might think I’m not serious or that my application is a prank. I am in a poor mental state and would appreciate guidance from someone.

You probably suck at your job if you have time to get on this platform and cry about kids applying for internships XD. They aint gon take yo job bruh chill tf out 🤣 bro is worried about the wrong things in life fr 💯 this is probably why they haven't made you equity partner broski

Don't feel entitled just because you made partner, and have kids applying to you. You too were once a law student, and you most probably didn't have to compete with as many candidates as you have these days. And, there have been hundreds of Law firm partners before you, and more will take up your place right after you're gone. Don't feel too entitled. You're not the Prime Minister of India bro. You're there to do your job, and a part of that includes hiring good talent for your firm (regardless of the means with which they apply). That's your duty as a decent partner in a firm. Unless ofc, you don't care about the future of your firm or this noble profession itself, which just reflects your high-headedness, and inflated ego.

It’s fairer to call her an LSR girl than an NLSIU girl. And I googled and found a news report from 2019 which said she topped ISC and wanted to study law. So she presumably didn’t make it to NLSIU’s 5 year LLB course.

I would have a pretty hard time getting by in life if I hated women considering how my mother, my sisters, all my best friends, and my own damn ass (!!!) are all women lol.

You’re clearly getting worked up by my comments since its calling out people like you. Maybe move to my ‘male dominated’ team and see how much easier life can actually be.

1. As Rhodes winners have said in the past, the Rhodes scholarship itself is one of the best platforms to advocate for meaningful change in the world (including for the ending of neo-colonial injustices). Ta-Nehisi Coates, the American author, has expressed this beautifully in the last line of his "Acting French" article: "Sometimes you do need the master’s tools to dismantle his house."

2. Following on from this, why don't you actually achieve something, before bullshitting?

While this is an extraordinary achievement and it is out of the ordinary for NLS to not have a Rhodes for so long, this is a very disappointing take. The people who have won it from other NLUs are equally smart. You come across as very dismissive of other peoples' achievements. This is not worthy of an NLSIU student or alumni. You should unreservedly and publicly apologise immediately, identifying yourself by name. That would be the truely ethical thing to do in these circumstances.

Hi everyone! I am curious about how those who have just been elevated to partnership hire their team - will they have to form a team and hire from scratch or do they get to choose associates they worked with who were previously working for other partners? If it is the former, do they have a greater likelihood of offering PPOs to law students?

I would highly appreciate it if someone who knows how the hiring process works explained it. Thank you!

Explains everything in a single article.

Hi everybody!

Could you recommend some good Criminal lawyers/firm to intern (as LL.M. student) under in Delhi (where we can actually learn something).

Or perhaps any particular CGSCs / PPs / AGs / SGs / ASGs / AAGs that you know of - pls do let me know :)

(Please share their details as well, if possible)

Thank you!!

What an absolutely ridiculous take. An opportunity is an opportunity, regardless of who it's named after. Also renaming it at this stage will be an erasure of the scholarship's history which its scholars should know and seek to rewrite. If you want to criticise anyone criticise the trust for continuing to offer disproportionately large number of scholarships to people from white imperialist countries and a glaringly small number of scholarships to students from the global south. You should NOT be going after students who accept opportunities that ordinary people can only dream of.

Besides, considering the political leanings of most Rhodes Scholars. Cecil Rhodes ki aatma ko shaanti nahi milegi XD

I'm a bit younger than most of my peers at a tier-one NLU, so I'll be graduating earlier than many of them. That’s partly why I thought taking a gap year or delaying my career path wouldn’t be a major setback. I’m not burned out, but I’m beginning to realize that law might not be the right fit for me.

Now, in my fourth year, I find I have no real interest in corporate law. I have a minor fascination with a niche area of law that offers lower pay and doesn’t attract recruiters on campus. Would it be damaging to my career if I chose not to participate in placements and took some time off instead to decide if I even want to continue with law?

Well said. How much more shameless can NLU students get?

"It's clear that Rhodes thought of the English as a "master race". (Source: BBC).

If the woke brigade on this platform cares to know about Rhodes. It is not without reason that he is a highly disliked person in Africa. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-32131829

Knowing the character of NLU students, they'd celebrate as much should Germany institute an award honoring Adolf Hitler or Britain name an award after Reginald Dyer.

And the supreme irony is that he is a strong BJP supporter! He has written a letter to the Goa CM according to these reports.

Basically the title. I want to quit law firm and go in-house for work life balance. However, I want to go to a field which has work life balance as long with the good amount of money in the long run. Basically, IF POSSIBLE (I KNOW IT'S HARD) earn equivalent to a salaried partner in the long run. However, work life balance is first preference. I think an in-house funds lawyer might be a good idea for this but the vacancies for the same is very limited. From what I know Cam has divisions within General Corporate: so basically public M&A, PE+VC, Employment, Corporate Advisory all come under General Corporate. Then there is Banking and Finance+ Project Finance, Disputes, Cap markets, and TMT.

Please advise me on what rotation to take up for ending up in a well paying in-house as soon as possible.

I will try to make it through 2-3 or 5 years but my seniors whom I know are really good are struggling. I don't know if I can put these many years. So which teams are best for it. From my limited exposure I am thinking of M&A, PE-VC and Employment as good rotations for going in-house, with ending up in M&A at the end after 3 rotations. Is it a good idea? Should I try Banking and Finance considering in-house jobs in banks?
