I don't understand what you are talking about. If Luther was ever a Tier 1, it was in 2000s. It is ceased to be a firm of relevance for atleast 10 years now. Most of the names you mentioned, were hired hastily by Mr Luthra or were people who just didn't matter even in old Luthra. Luthra as a firm will not be the same as it was in 2000 and that is understood even by Luthra family. But it is still a firm and cannot have deadbeats who have not been doing any work for last 5-6 years and taking salaries. Please understand that all these exits are not necessarily because these people want to leave.

Can identify to an extent. Lost my dad, abusive and manipulative parents in general, a sister who is medically challenged. Passed from one of the worst unis out there, managed to secure a job though. Have been in and out of therapy.

Everything feels pretty hollow and numbed. The one thing I guess keeps me going is the responsibility of a family and the fact that if I have suffered so long, might as well continue to see what else can happen.

A0 wagerah kuch nahi hota udhar.

the MP is horrific to work with. Long hours, constant abuse and MC BC is regular. They will not even pay you on time. 7 ki jagah 9-10 tak bhi denge (you are fucked if you have EMIs and living paychek to paycheck).

Tereko 10-15 bhi de dein to bahut hai.

The thing is, although it started as an anti-Muslim riot and Tommy Robinson of the English Defence League (the ringleader) is actually tweeting in support of Hindus, it is now becoming just all-out chaos where shops are being looted, everyone is being attacked and robbed etc. Just outright thuggery by neo-Nazi hooligams. Also inevitably gonna be counter-violence from the Pakistani community and their gangs. Us poor Indians are caught in the middle.

Although London and Oxbridge are not affected, there is violence in Manchester, Leicester etc, where some people do go to study law. Anyone heard any stories?

cuz its d greatest sports event ... happening once in 4 yrs n it's happening now .... india will also bid for d 2036 olympics and spend BILLIONS of dollars... but we r not dat good in sports and it will be a wastage of money...corruption also.... also why shud taxpayers money be used for Gujarat???.... why not olympics in another state???

as for legal relevance, expect shitloads of litigation if India hosts d olympics and also legal work in conducting d Olympics, which will be happening in Ahd so more work for CAM Ahd office

I mean, they do need some source of comic relief, don't they?

I don't know... I'm just a random British-Indian kid that studies law at university in the UK. One of my tutors last year was one of 'em PhD students from India of which there are a few in the UK these days. Once, as me and my mate were leaving a class, I was saying to him (my mate, that is, he's from Malaysia) that the best thing to do for having a few laughs in Britain was to pick up a British newspaper and read about politics in the UK. My tutor, he overheard, and he stopped by us and, if you'll believe it lads, he says to us, 'You'll never know what "having a few laughs" means until and unless you have been blessed and cursed by the knowledge of, and the desire to visit, this website called Legally India. You don't need to spend 10 pounds a month of a subscription for having a few laughs, you can do it every day for nothing!'.

I asked him if it was possible for someone to be 'blessed and cursed' at the same time, and all he said was, 'You will see'. Now I've seen this website, I think I understand what he meant. :)

Hi, I’m a Final year law student in a decent law school in Mumbai. I have interned in General Corporate and Real Estate transactions teams in two law firms, twice each (One T1 and the other a T2). I just wanted to know, if there’s a T1 that is on the lookout for a 2025 batch student to join their team and if they are taking assessment interns right now for the same (Real Estate transactions team). Thank you!

These kind of thoughts are natural when you are doing something for the first time out of your comfort zone. They also arise when you try to balance multiple competing objectives: career, finances, etc.

As others have suggested, if this is not a financial burden on your family: GO FOR IT. I am a first generation lawyer from a small town, and went through these phases. Luckily, my family pushed me to go out and gather experience. You can take a more informed about the remaining opportunities in your future years after your first internship.

Go with an open mind, and try to absorb what the world is like. Don't worry about excelling and other objectives at this stage. You are in a stage when you can experiment, hence do that whole heartedly. Wishing you all the best.

Obvs comment not meant for those working in T1 firms or students from rich families. It’s meant for people from middle or upper middle class families who are coming under pressure and may have to make lifestyle changes and cut down on expenditure: eg metro instead of Uber, Maggi instead of Domino’s Pizza, Bata instead of Woodland, Xiaomi instead of Apple etc.

And then there’s the non-financial impact: stress, worry, peer pressure to spend and flaunt brands, pressure to buy expensive gifts if you have a high-maintenance girlfriend etc.

😰😫

It is so strange reading someone else echoing my thoughts. It is bizarre (and reassuring at the same time that there is someone else in the same boat as me), but there does not seem to be any vacancy or any help provided by anyone. I do not know if it is me but I am struggling at the moment. (A1/A2 from Mumbai without a job)

Hey moderator: there is a comment here misgendering Imane with he/him pronouns. How can you allow this comment? Misgendering gets you banned on all social media platforms (except X, after Elon Musk took over and made it a hate platform) and in many countries you can face criminal liability for misgendering persons.

Yes it absolutely does. Someone XY with internal tested had a great advantage because they produce more testosterone.

Why were people not crying out when he hadn’t stolen opportunities from women ? Because he hadn’t stolen opportunities from women. People aren’t angry for aesthetic reasons - people are angry because this is wrong to put women through this.

No one is arguing that there isn’t a woman out there who cannot beat him, or that he will always be on top of his game and never throw a match. What people are arguing is that his biology confers an unfair advantage. 3 Olympian women have now stated how they feel it’s unfair - are they all just imbeciles and losers ?

And world boxing and the IOC which said this was not a DSD case and then redacted that statement. Do you choose who to believe depending on what story you like ? Two tests done in two different countries isn’t enough ? Khelif could have appealed to CAS and made the records public but he chose not to . Why allow people to speculate about your sex when you can easily prove you’re female ?

Talk to the faculty, especially alum faculty. Write a formal email to the VC and registrar. Ask politely if they would prefer you to write to the UGC anti ragging cell instead. The warden is incompetent and useless. Always has been. In classrooms and in the hostel. Don't back down. You don't need such seniors in your life.

Why didn't any of you raise the issue when the same boxer had taken part in earlier Olympics and got defeated by women boxers? The woman boxer who defeated her earlier has gone on record saying that these opponents are only playing the victim card and their own inability to play the sports better.

Lol, you know about the industry because you have got a PPO? Sure, kid. Just because you aren't sure about the mooting culture of NLUO doesn't mean it doesn't have any. In fact, it is ten times better than MNLU in that regard. All MNLU has in its favour is location and if that's the only feature, then one might as well go to GLC for a fraction of the cost. NLUO has got the advantage of alumni base, better faculty and better competition culture.

And over 50% of people have xx chromosomes. So if you allow XY people with their genetic and biological advantages into womens sport - there will not be any womens sport left. We saw this at the rio olympics where three XY people far outpaced women who were Olympic runners. But we’re seeing a worse version of it now where it’s not just fairness but safety because boxing is a combat sport. All three women opponents now - the Italian Angela Carini , Hungarian Luca Hamoria and Bulgarian Svetlana Staneva have expressed how it’s unfair to make xx compete with xy. None of them wanted to finish the fight with the latter two being forced to go back in for more rounds by their coaches. And all of them have been forced by sponsors and the IOC to issue public apologies for their frank and human reactions to an injustice. Are they all bigots ? Are they all in a Russian conspiracy ? Are they all untrained and lazy and bad sports ?

These are all women who are at the top of their country for boxing - they’ve beaten out every woman in their country. They’re not afraid of boxing and they’re not untrained idiots. They know that it’s different when a man beats you as opposed to a woman. Men of the same size and muscle mass have 162% more punching power than women.

We’re not deciding who is pretty or dainty or feminine enough and we’re not deciding who we invite to girls trip. The people speaking up about this are not big old meanies. This is about safety and fairness for women.

There are right wing men saying how it’s unfair, there’s left wing women saying it’s unfair, 80 something percent of female athletes want to bring back genetic sex tests.

People on this thread defending this: If you don’t think there’s something off about this whole thing. If your natural response is to think “ I hate the other team so they must be wrong”. You should take a good long look at whether you’re more attached to your team than principles like standing up for womens rights for safety and fairness and equality. Your politics then might be completely devoid of any real concern for the oppressed and just a cynical play for power. Re-examine your priors.

Batch of 23 here, was working at a T1 and lost it the job not due to performance issue but voluntarily resigned due to personal reasons. My situation at home is much better now, and I am hoping to rejoin back to T1 firms. Thing is now placements have already been over and I have 6 months experience.

Feeling very low and depressed. Going to reach out to recruiters and firms who hopefully understand my situation. Is there anyone else like me? I remember reading about an A0 who was fired from CAM/SAM due to practice area rotations.

Placements are there too you can check bar and bench. Didn’t want to quote the obvious. If I need to attach those links as well, it’s just lack of effort on the part of the student.

NLUO doesn’t do much besides getting a Corp job. Not sure about the Mooting and ADR culture as well.

Mumbai is a great advantage and classes ended by 12.30 so running internship is possible.

Lastly, this coming from a PPO holder, so I do know the placement stats and the industry. Thanks though for your time.

NLUD diluting standards. This degree is only to make money like the AILET test they are conducting despite all NLUs accepting CLAT. NLU Delhi VC is not a visionary like Sudhir. He's just working hard to get a second term. When BALLB guys not getting placed, ridiculous to start BCOMLLB course.

Though I believe in free markets and capitalism, the wealth divide in India is really becoming sickening. As are the levels of inflation and unemployment. How can people live with such high prices and such little income?

Now, if you look at the list of the Fortune 1,000 companies India (links below) nearly 80% are companies owned by families or individuals: Ambani, Adani, Tata, Birla, Jindal, Mittal, Nadar, Premji, Murthy, Kotak, Goenka, Hinduja, Damani, Godrej, Munjal, Srinivasan, Piramal, Wadia, Kunwar, Dalmia, etc. Also political figures like Jagan Mohan Reddy etc. If we can tax 20 crore annually from these 800 families + another 9,000 or so families (more industrialists, politicians, lawyers, rich farmers etc) then we can gather Rs 100,000 crore (USD 11 billion) in taxes annually and offset the burden on the common man by waiving income taxes for the lower brackets and lowering GST on essential items. Rs 20 crores a year is peanuts for these families.

The fact that the internet is roasting Angela Carini for "being afraid of getting knocked out" -- Do you really believe a woman who dedicated so much time and energy on boxing that she made it all the way to the fucking Olymics has never been punched in the face by another woman?

Do you really think she just strolled up to the arena whilst on a walk on Paris, thought "I'll give this boxing business a go", and was thrown completely off guard over being punched?

Maybe the fact that an Olymic-level athlete had to forfeit after less than a minute might signal that something isn't right.

Crazy thought, but maybe she forfeited because she's very familiar with what it feels like to be punch in the face by another woman and she has the experience to be able to tell whether her opponent is or isn't another woman.

According to the following news article, NALSAR will be offering 3 years LLB program from next year.

NLSIU, NLUO, DSNLU, CNLU and maybe a few NLUs have already began 3 years LLB. What are your thoughts on this given the 5 years program and NLUs were started to phase out 3 years LLB. It seems to have come full circle.

MNLU over NLUO

1. Foreign placements - Yes (Clifford and Chance)

2. LLM - Yes (Cambridge, NYU, Oxford, Duke etc).

3. Domestic Placements - internships for top 10 rankers of the Batch for all tier-1s. And if you’d be aware placements are a thing anymore, PPOs are.

This was the worst thing I’ve read so far.

According to you Marathi speaking students shouldn’t attend college or learn English. If you can appreciate diversity don’t join Law school.

“4 generations” - talk about being so unaware of your surroundings.

Another day another blinded folk

After gaining 4-5 years of experience in a big4, I'm planning to get an M7 MBA - graduated from a T2 NLU and have okaish extra currics. I'm leaning towards gre, but gmat is also an option considering gmat treates errors less harshly. What scores have people with law background got in the past?

Oh shut up and go back to doing whatever sad, inconsequential day job you work (we all work sad, inconsequential day jobs). What do you know about sporting, about what goes into a medal, in terms of effort, luck, support, politics? What do you have to contribute to the discourse, except zilch as an armchair commentator?

Either somehow contribute to this medal tally that you seem so pressed about the inadequacy of - compete yourself, sponsor an athlete, sponsor a training institute, campaign for better resources and government support, make a difference - or [shut up and go back to .......]

I was in the same boat about a decade where I would not intern during the internship breaks and stay at home to not be a burden to my parents because any internship outside my home town would be difficult to finance. However since I didnt have a job till my final semester, I ended up doing a few internships one of which I converted. Later I realised how many opportunities I would have missed. You should not do that. I know it’s easy for me to say but ask your close friends for financial help, if need be. Don’t hesitate to ask for help.

Its got nothing to do with race and everything to do with Males beating up females. If you enjoy watching any man beat up a woman- because you have political differences or because you have racial resentment- consider that youve got to deal with some misogyny.

There are plenty of people of color including women of colour- including me- who saw that match and saw a male beating a female and winning an olympic medal for it. consider why you hate white people so much that you think its funny when white women are beaten by men. And ask yourself if that actually makes you a good person.

You see the world in these binaries of goodies and baddies. Anyone not going along with the extreme left must be right wing.

You dont even know do you? you dont know that the people who have pushing back to save womens sport the longest are women,and theyre women who have worked within the second wave feminist movement, theyre female athletes, theyre lesbians. J.K. Rowling- who im sure you think is a terrible right wing bigot- lost her billionaire status because of all the money she gave to womens causes around the world including setting up rape crisis centres. Shes always voted labour. Julie Bindel has been an anti rape anti trafficking campaigner all her life. She rose to fame for pushing the prosecution of the yorkshire ripper who was killing women. She thinks shes saving womens sport. Sharron davies was a feminist hero for breaking barriers in swimming. Do you really think they dont care about raped women? What a false binary. What do you do in your life to support victims of assault that makes up for you celebrating televised male violence against women?

How misogynistic to make the jordan petersons and the donald trumps the face of the opposition when its obvious that the most sincere and strongest opposition to this mens rights movement has always been from left wing radical feminist women?

Its got nothing to do with stereotypes and everything to do with biology and what having XY chromosomes and a testes that produces sperm and testosterone does to your body. I'm sorry your karate teacher was able to hurt you when you were a child- but adult human females and adult human males have entirely different biology, You are not a child anymore. You are a grown man and I bet you could beat her up if you wanted to. I dont have to take your word for it- there are studies. Men on average, even at the elite level, have bigger heart sizes, bigger lung sizes, bigger wingspan, more punching power even accounting for weight and for muscle mass, more grip strength, bicep strength, less body fat, greater femur length, able to lift more weights, jump higher, and have more lower body muscle and quad strength. This is what scientific studies show. This remains true even if those men claim to be women. This remains true even if they have DSDs. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-020-01389-3

I can also tell you anecdotes- almost every woman can- of how they thought they were going to die when a man decided to hit them- and how they didnt think it was possible for that man to have that much strength., and looking at that match I only saw a man beating up a woman. Because thats what it was- you need to work out your own trauma through other methods- go to therapy. Dont weaponise your personal trauma to justify giving men olympic medals for beating up women.

Just because some awful women exist who abuse young boys doesnt mean that women deserve to have fair sport taken away and to be beaten for sport on the world stage.

Could foresee the sorry state of affairs from a mile. Now with the exit of Jay Parikh, Geeta Dhania, Piyush Mishra, Rohit and Shivani - that's another hit to the affairs at this legacy firm.

Sad that a ship so big is dismantling like a deck of cards. Pre-2020, that place had an unmatched vibe. Now, there are fewer people who can even be nostalgic about it, I guess.

hes not gay- as far as we can tell, not a lesbian (since you have to be female) although I do think some of the women he beat up are lesbians. Hes not trans. Theres no reason to think hes nonbinary either- hes never said that he is. What he is is an XY male with a DSD, an intersex condition. This is a great victory for males with DSDs who think they deserve medals for beating up females.
