I looked it up on Wikipedia and it’s true. This is a German player who was once’s ranked 36 but slipped to 203. He took up her challenge that she could beat any top 200 men’s player, and to make a point he drank beer and smoked cigarettes before the match and even during the match he was taking cigarette breaks! He won in straight sets even then!

In the 2000s, NLIU was a top NLIU and foreign law firms used to visit campus. Then GNLU’s first batches started graduating, followed by NLUD and Jindal, with Jindal backed by Naveen Jindal’s powerful contacts and networks. Simultaneously, there was massive corruption in NLIU admin, which saw a student protest and removal of the VC, but the damage had already been done. Then, DNLU Jabalpur was established, taking away crores that could have been spent for the betterment of NLIU. Then you had heavy domicile quotas in addition to the existing caste quotas, thus pushing many bright students to colleges elsewhere. And, of course, neglect by successive governments.

Things look bad, I’m afraid. The only solution is NLU nationalisation. What NLIU could perhaps do is lobby through a powerful MP politician like Shivraj Singh Chauhan.

Are you seriously related to the legal field !? If not, then it's fine. But if you're, stop thinking like a layman & flushing your degree down the drain. Any accusation need to be proved in the real world. Also, are you a GenZ who thinks that the world revolves around social media ? There's a famous prof accused of SA, spread like wildfire, in reality nothing happened, why ? Cause whether true or not, the charges could not be proved ! So stop being a disgrace to your fraternity and start thinking logically. Accusation ≠ Conviction.

Seems like you didn't study in law school and now are blaming the curriculum. BA has political science which is the most important subject for constitution, human rights, international law etc. It has economics which is the base for majority of financial laws in the real world. It has sociology and psychology which again is the base for criminal and civil laws. So the fact that you only see Marx, Weber etc as BA subjects is a shame. Also topics like caste and justice system in colonial India does help in practice whether bar or bench, seems like you haven't read landmark judgements well. Moreover the fact that you emphasis on BBA or bcom shows what is evident that you're a capitalism stooge who only wants profit oriented mindset amongst upcoming youngsters. Enjoy being a corporate stooge whilst the society and environment crumble around you. What good is earning crores when your social and political fabric is below average. Remember the Bangalore water crisis? Corporate slaves earning crores having to stand in line to fetch water. Keep ignoring the social sciences and see how shitty your life becomes.

Hi folx,

As the title suggests, just put in my papers at a T1. It's been a few years since I studied for an exam, so I'm quite nervous. But it's now or never. Any suggestions on preparing for the Law optional papers? Can't seem to find much material online (unlike the GS papers).

Any success in getting an offer from a foreign firm is the product of a long term process and ecosystem. You need to gain a different perspective, do readings beyond your exam prep, practise speaking confidently and making logical and coherent arguments in a persuasive fashion. Grooming skills also help. The curriculum also plays a small role, as does exposure. It is not that NLIU students are less intelligent, but the institution so far has not taken any definitive step towards any of these, be it the student body, faculty or admin. In the NLUs where such firms make such offers, one or more of these (always the students for sure) have come forth with such initiative.

insider- don’t opt for it, they’ll most probably hire teachers from neighbouring ggsipu for this course and you’ll suffer with mediocity. look at recent nlud hiring which just seems to be extremely average incompetent profs. this university is not rising anymore, it’s failing with a lot of star fac expected to leave soon. placements are going to be a hassle, they’re anyway terrible here but more so with bcom llb- while you will set up your own rcc which can have access to the database of old rcc, it’ll be painful because of a lack of practice of running your own account.

Addressing these disgusting accusations, though they don't deserve a response:

1. As it happens, I happen to believe that women are precisely the opposite of privileged. Biological women are a marginalised group, as are trans-women.

2. I am not getting into what the Italian boxer said.

3. I happen to not have the blinker on of thinking stereotypically about women. They can have as good reflexes, as significant strength, as biological males. They are disproportionately impacted by violence and other horrible things because of (a) entitled men who (i) think they can do; and (ii) are often allowed to do, whatever the fuck they want with women; and (b) because of useful idiots (of both sexes/genders) like you, whose minds are trapped in stereotypes.

Bro could you please help me please. I'm a jobless recent graduate with fucked mental health. I really need career guidance. Can we connect somewhere please ? I hope you're on telegram. My user id: @Feather_leaff

Hello everyone,

I'm a third year student at Rank 13-14 (Tier 3 offc.) NLU. I come from a rural background and a first generation lawyer, with very middle class background.

So the problem is that, I'm getting an internship at Wadhwa's chambers. And prior to it, I don't have any in- office/on-site experience of interning.

As it's based in Delhi, so living there and spending a month. The timings of the office, travelling, where to live in a city like Delhi, how will be everything, the finance and so on... I'm feeling like stuck.

Should I go for it or not, I know that one day I've to step out. But then, please help me out how to handle this situation.

Thoughts like skipping the break and procrastination are coming. Considering I will be getting (only) 7 official breaks for internship, post this one. But then my "mind" says that anyway my ultimate goal is to go for judiciary, why even I'm going for it.

Don't know, please anyone suggest me something.

Does it happen with everybody, or it's just that I'm, not mature enough or, not serious with my career.

(Pls don't troll me on my writing and Grammer, I'm not able to correctly articulate, and not in a situation...)

I don’t know what others might suggest. But this is something that every or most fresh law graduates feel, while appearing in court. I used to have similar feelings initially and i still sometimes feel the same.

This feeling is not going to go away; until and unless you regularly make appearance before court. Initially i started with civil litigation and then shifted to nclt and that change made me feel very insecure. I used to get nervous; while addressing the bench. What worked for me was that i stopped comparing myself with others and feeling bad about it; if i am in court i never miss my chance to observe other lawyers and counsels and learning from them. I always notice how others approach the bench. I have definitely learned different ways to address and approach the bench; according to the benches mood.

Whenever any lawyer mentions any judgment or order in their submissions; i write down the name of the same and read it later in the office. This has made me much more confident; while appearing in court. The most important thing is to stop comparing yourself with others; remember that you have to wake up with yourself everyday and comparing yourself with others is only going to make your life miserable.

And p.s.a. You don’t need to remember the name of judgments, also make handwritten colour coded notes for your submissions and read through it before every hearing.

Yes, you have a point. NLUD stayed clear of the more relevant and contemporary BBA-LLB (Hons) because NFSU already offers that in its Delhi campus. It did not want to compete directly with NFSU. It takes financial resources to offer new courses that NLUD does not have. On the other hand, NFSU has a government grant of ₹2254 crores, which is more than enough to bulldoze any state NLU (including NLUD).

One common thing in all this is that BA-LLB has lost its sheen, and NLUD knows this.

Because NLUD does not want to compete directly with NFSU which offers BBA-LLB (Hons) in the Delhi campus, NFSU is powering its way through the education landscape, and with its ₹2254 crore government grant, it has the financial resources to do more.

That said, the key takeaway from all this is that in general BA-LLB (Hons) has lost its sheen.

The work is superb. Definitely the best in Mumbai. But you won't do it or see anyone in the office do it. Almost everything is outsourced to external counsel - strategy, drafts, appearances (even for mentioning and adjournments). They are a post office between counsel / senior counsel and clients. The partners don't really know much. The As and SAs are worse. Basics are just terrible. Knowing all this, still join. It's good exposure to big matters even if you're just observing from the sidelines. Will work really well for your CV for future T1 opportunities. It's definitely worth spending a couple of years there - no more.

Welcome!

1. Don't try to do everything in your first year/ first semester itself. Remember, jack of all trades is a master of none. Pick one or two activities, attend the committee's orientation or workshop, and spend time on preparing for whatever work you do so that you can put in your best effort.

2. First year is too early to make any such decisions and even if you make them, your mind may change later on. As you get more exposure to law and legal practices, you will develop some interests and ideas. Generally around 3rd year is when this starts. Some people don't fully have an idea even in 5th year, that is also fine.

No. Women matter more than you feeling like youre a goodie.

Saying males shouldnt be in womens sport is not excluding males from sport. Most males happily participate in male sport. And there are open categories. This is just my way or high way emotional blackmail. We've all been with a guy who claimed he would commit suicide if we didnt give him what he wants- You dont make policy because of threatened hurt feelings.

You have ZERO concern for the rights of natal women, for their right to play in fair sports and their opportunities and their basic physical safety. You think all of that should come second to the cause du jour- whatever oppression group you think is worse off. I bet you think women are privileged dont you?

Awarding handicaps wont stop women from being hit so hard that they get brain damage. Look it up thats happened. You have no leg to stand on. Theres a reason Angela Carini- say her name- shes not "the italian girl"- withdrew after 46 seconds. She said it- shes never been hit that hard in life- and shes an olympian. Shes been in plenty of matches with other women.

Your definition of progressive sure does sound like victim blaming disgusting misogyny. It is misogynistic and disgusting to claim that women who are beaten up by men are too weak, not made for sport, they dont have enough proof of violence- why isnt there more blood on her face- shes just a hysterical coward. She just made him look bad- ruined his reputation. All of that if you said that to a normal woman about a normal male you would think is disgusting. But the moment a male has a developmental disorder you think the women should be blamed?

Do you really think she went all the way to the olympics to give up in the first 46 seconds because women just are like that? Do you know how much work it would have taken? for a woman to make it to the olympics in boxing?

Even caitlyn jenner says he shouldnt be allowed in female sport. Youre so woke youve basically come out the other end as a misogynist.

You disgust me. You disgust all decent people who havent deliberately put blinkers on. Go apologise to your mom. Whatever illusions you have about being on the right side of history- start thinking of reasons why you think males beating up women for sport is a good thing.

When a big scam happens, everyone is in and on it. That's how scams rarely get discovered and actual justice is never done. Political rivals will snipe at each other. But they will never ever dismantle the "system". Neither will the "system" allow. If ever the "system" is replaced, the governing philosophies of the old regime will continue in a new form.

Criminal Tribes Act replaced with Habitual Offenders Act

Crown replaced with Topi

IPC with BNS

And the list goes on.

Its not about getting knocked out- its about getting killed. No woman is consenting to a man beating her up for sport- until you can be convinced that its wrong. How misogynistic it is to claim women are cowards and weak and deceitful for not wanting men to beat them up. How do you sleep?

reasonable nice kind people who allow men to beat women up for sport. How does the cognitive dissonance not give you nausea? Healthcare? are you in america? Health care is not on the table for any party in this country. In fact- and I hate modi- but the clinics hes set up work. You have ZERO clue about anything.

1. NLIU - tier I, no competition
2. HNLU - consistently been in the upper half of tier II

3. MNLU - Last two years were breakout years, will consistently compete now + actual Mumbai advantage

4. NLU O - Placements are decent but everything else is.... questionable.

Hello! So from all the LI threads I have come across wrt the PPO scenes at AZB Bangalore office, I have noticed people having entirely opposite opinions - while some say that it's highly likely to get an offer from there and that even there is no formal PPO interview as such, while on the other hand there are folks who insist that AZB Blr office really doesn't hand out PPOs. Can someone please clarify this? I would be really grateful for any insights on how many interns they take and how the PPO scene would be for the Batch of 2026. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for sharing. Mod, pls give this featured status.

This is just SHOCKING. The alumni named must not only be immediately sacked but also imprisoned. Did this scam happen during BJP rule? If yes, why isn't the Congress taking it up? Rahul Gandhi must raise it in Parliament. Vice versa if it happened during Congress rule.

Why not praise what our athletes are able to achieve. We must remember that athletes from countries like China (or anywhere other than India) are able to win the medals because of the infrastructure and the support they have in their home country. Indian athletes achieve what they do, despite that.

Been in this dilemma for long, which nlu to choose? Which one will be the best for me by the time I graduate around 2029? Mod please mark this featured as I need to make a decision asap. Conditions being: -

1. Aspirations for foreign placements

2. Possibility of getting good LLM scholarships

3. Good domestic placements

From NDTV:

Indian sprinter Dutee Chand, who has been at the centre of a similar row in the past, has shared her perspective on the controversy.

"In 2014, I challenged the IOC's rule that a person with a higher testosterone level should not participate in the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland. It was noted that hormonal levels cannot increase athletic performance. I suffered a lot at that time. I faced a lot of controversy regarding my gender." Dutee Chand told PTI.

"Yesterday, during the Olympic match, (Angela) Carini gave up and now she is complaining about the Algerian boxer because of high testosterone levels. When you play in the Olympics, you undergo several tests. I don't think it is right to create controversy about this social media." she added.

I don’t know that I’m winning in any areas of life. You can always point to people who have it much better and people who have it much worse.

I suggest you embrace the idea that it actually doesn’t matter if you do think you’re a loser. All that matters is what you do in the real world to help other people.
