Their revenue has been less than last year despite adding a gazillion partners. Disputes has suffered the worst. Worst thing - the policy based running of the firm which 3L used to boast about has been a joke as increments have been completely at whims and fancies and not tied to ratings given to people earlier this year.

Born female. Genitals female. Passport female. IOC female. Chromosome XY MALE ..still allowed to participate..Duh hur..STFU.. The Italian was just crying cause she couldn't outmaneuver her with skills. On the contrary the Algerian has lost 6 times before, never had been a problem then. All of you are just pissy Right winger foxes in left wing clothings. Now you demand equality when you get punched in the nose. She has fairly qualified for the Olympics. She was given an NOC by the IOC despite failing the chromosome test. She's a women who beat another women and the women beaten was a white euro roastie who couldn't handle being beat by an African.

Hey, I am from a Tier 2/Tier 3 private law college in Bengaluru and will be graduating in 2025. I have been offered a long-term internship with the Real Estate Team at the Bangalore office of KCO, which might last for 6+ months. My question is, can this opportunity be converted into a PPO? Does KCO offer PPOs to long-term interns if their work quality and deliverables meet their standards, or should I try to secure assessment internships elsewhere?

Dude, ifkr.

Clat 2020 was such a bs exam. I saw so many kids from a certain area/ coaching class get the top ranks and irl they don't even make the cut. Some don't even know how to speak properly. I just don't understand how people allowed it to float away. The last minute change in pattern, mode and messed up centres that aren't even competent to conduct an online exam. On top of it multiple COVID restrictions on candidates selectively. Which exam is even legit at this point?

The first part of your comment is correct (that this is comparable with Caster Semenya, who is intersex with internal testes)but the second part of your comment is wrong (that this means she should compete in male categories and it’s unfair to make her compete in the women’s category). The moderator has rightly marked your comment as contested.

People like you need to understand something. The I in LGBTQIA+ is specifically meant for intersex people. We need to show such people empathy and include them in sport, rather than exclude them. Remember that they were born this way, it’s not their choice. This happens a lot in poor and underdeveloped countries, where doctors and society are not properly trained in LGBTQIA+ issues, and so classify people as male or female, instead of non-binary.

The solution is to allow non-binary people to compete in the category of their choice. In this case, it’s female and that’s fine. At most, a certain handicap to the opponent may be given where the person is physically much stronger. For example, Caitlin Jenner was a champion runner in the male category, before she came out as trans and had gender reassignment surgery. Suppose she came out earlier and wanted to compete as a woman. She should have been allowed, but a handicap of 1 second or so could have been given to her opponents (which is a lot in running). Similarly, Kheluf’s opponents can be given a handicap in terms of blows landed.

The IOA has taken a progressive step and needs to be applauded rather than criticised. I must also say that I was not pleased with the attitude of the Italian girl. She should not have humiliated Khelif in public, given the violence and trauma non-binary people face. There is also nothing in the video to show that she was badly hurt: no bruises, no blood. No confirmation that her nose broken. I’m sorry, but I doubt the bona fides of her withdrawal.

I genuinely cannot understand why my comment was mass downvoted and marked trollish. I can think of only two possible explanations. One is that the readers of LI and the moderator were upset at my criticism of DYC for asking NLUs to teach in Hindi and regional languages, LI readers and the moderator probably believe that the language of instruction at NLUs should be Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu etc, depending on the location. Perhaps they find the current curriculum, with a lot of material published by British and American jurists, and written in English of a very high standard, too demanding and elitist.

Another explanation could be that the pro-reservationists of LI (who are the overwhelming majority) were upset at my statement that caste, EWS and domicile quotas make NLUs LESS elitist and DEFEAT Chandrachud’s argument of NLUs being elite. They probably think that NLUs are elitist despite reservation, because of the curriculum.

A bit of both, then?

No. It directly translates to- students with resources to learn the law will be better able to learn the law. Every NLU kid learns in first year how to research, how to find the law, where to find it, and how to write a basic brief on it. I have met many smart people from non-nlus who didnt know how to insert footnotes into a word doc after they had an LLM. That is not about money- after a point- an employer who wants certain quality of work and doesnt want to teach year 1 legal methods to his employees will select for NLUs.

If you want that to change- you are better off asking your university why they arent teaching you things that make you competitive in the market and capable of doing a law job. It wont do to try and guilt NLU kids by saying theyre privileged and rich. Many of them arent rich, and knowing SCC Online isnt a privilege one is born with- its a skill one can learn.

Economists largely use R and Stata for econometric research. No economist from whatever random university is accusing others of elitism and class privilege because they know how to use R and Stata- the tools of the trade.

you would be paid peanuts when getting started, but if you still want to go ahead with it, try applying at the chambers of Tanveer Ahmed Mir or Siddharth Agarwal or the likes. They do not take everyone in, so you may try getting started with others like Rajiv Mohan, who even though might not have the most high-profile cases, has some really good work, with a decent office and work atmosphere.

The point is to look up chambers and start cold mailing. Some might reply, many won't. Pay would be poor and work hours would be dreadful, usually 7 days a week. Yet, if you do want it, go ahead. Good luck!

I didnt say anything about whether the exam itself is tough enough. I think the exam should be much much much more tough. I cracked it without tuition and I went to state board school. Most of my batchmates didnt come from ICSE. a greater proportion of Jindal/ Amity students will have an elite background than NLU students.

I also didnt say anything about whether NLU students would be better professionals than students from other colleges.

I said two simple things. They passed an exam you didnt- however poor that exam is. And their university has mandatory attendance, difficult exams and steep grading. These two things put together mean more than all the internships done year round where youve learned nothing and followed someone around and bought them tea and done their laundry. They tell employers that they can expect a minimum basic thing from NLU graduates. They will turn up for work consistently, and they will at bare minimum- know the basics of legal research and writing.

If you want to end NLU elitism- convince your university to enforce attendance, and to make exams tougher and grading steeper. It really is as simple as that.

Lets be very clear about whats happening in this case.

Imane Khelif is not transgender. There is no gender identity involved in this case. There is no testosterone suppression, there is no gender reassignment of any sort. Imane Khelif has failed a sex test that was not a testosterone test. It was a chromosomal test. Imane Khelif has XY chromosomes. It is probable Imane Khelif has a disorder of sexual development (Intersex condition) called alpha 5 reductase deficiency. What this means is that his body doesnt absorb testosterone as a normal mans does. That does not make Imane Khelif less of a man. ▮▮▮ disorder specifically happens only to people with XY chromosomes- males. It does not happens to females- xx chromosomes This is also what Caster Semanya has. These men knew at the onset of puberty that they were male. they might have had underdeveloped genetalia at birth which is when ignorant doctors assign female at birth- but they are not actually female. They are fully male. and they knew they are fully male when they signed up to compete against females. They can on occassion impregnate women and reproduce.

Imane Khelif had been twice before disqualified from participating in womens sport ▮▮▮ . the Olympics committee decided that the appropriate test was what was on your passport. If the laws in your country allow you to lie on your passport- then womens sport will not mean a thing.

Males and Females are built different. I know that hurts are egalitarian sentiments- but you cannot argue with nature. Males typically are larger, stronger, faster. If a man and a woman weigh the same- the man will have 152% more punching power. Not to mention longer arms, bigger heart size, quicker reflexes, bigger lung size and more muscle mass. It is simply unfair to women to make them compete with men. Anyone who actually watched the match without ideologically blinked glasses, who saw fallon fox brutalise a woman can see that thats true.

Women shouldnt have to face death every time they want to compete in combat sports. Women will opt out if that is the choice.

Sex segregated sports exists for this reason- to allow for fair competition rather than to exclude a tiny minority who no one knew about ten years ago. Not everything in the world is about your pet cause. Segregating sex in sport is about protecting women.

Just because males with DSDs or transgender identified males are excluded from womens sport doesnt mean they are excluded from sport or that the women outraged by this are all bigots. People with DSDs and transgender identities who are male are welcome to compete in open categories or in male categories. Inclusion cannot be such an overarching value that it trumps fairness or equality. There are limits to inclusion.

If Imane Khelif and what happened today because of this ▮▮▮ in womens sport is any indication, one can only imagine that fully intact developed males claiming they are women because of some "internally felt sense of womanhood" would and should face much more backlash. Its not fair. Women matter, their safety and their opportunities matter. The world isnt divided into males and everyone else. Women exist. Females exist as an entirely independent category.

If you saw a man beat up a woman today and didnt feel revulsion- if you thought it was no big deal, or if you dismissed it as right wing agenda- you need to take a good hard look at what your values are and ask yourself just how much of a blind eye are you willing to turn to womens rights to please males.

This went to the court. How many get abandoned or "settled"?

Yeah, he is in induslaw, and he is ace at finding solutions, if you like Abhimanyu then you should apply for Rajiv Mohan law office, rajiv sir was a partner with Abhimanyu sir, but 1 thing work hours are one of a kind day starts with the courtroom and end at 11 or midnight in office but will get best work experience in trial courts lots of associate who are nice and helpful. go for this office if you live around Gulmohar Park. you will get a hell of exposure

Kid than ask your government to subsidise the education at those so called elite institutions as they do for IITs.

And all this lack of money is an excuse for your incompetence. I too was poor, living in a t-2 city with my father earning 25K PM in a family of 4 with me and younger brother. I didn't take any coaching studied on my own, got into a T-1 NLU after failing to get any NLU once, got means based scholarship and took a loan to fund my studies. Toiled for 5 years, and got a PPO at a tier-1. During internships in Delhi, I used to stay with some relative or other to save costs and skipped lunches because I couldn't afford them then.

And I am not the only one to do this, there are far many who might me poorer than me, but they all worked hard and didn't not make hue and cry.

Finally some sense has prevail and he got bai: https://www.livelaw.in/news-updates/delhi-coaching-centre-deaths-court-grants-bail-to-suv-driver-265363

Is it so hard to understand? NLUs don't matter and they are NOT part of the national narrative. They are not important. No one cares about state universities, and they provide the best punching bags. Not a single NLU VC dares even to speak up, and the so-called "Roads" scholars are irrelevant.

That directly translates to "money is directly proportional to your standing in this field". People from less expensive law clgs cannot compete with elite NLUs and jindal due to lack of those resources so thats kinda money and power game my dear, it has nothing to do with actual skills or knowledge.

NLUD student here. About 40 out of a pool of 50 students got jobs before graduating. Just wait and watch for this year's placements - they are going to be great. For last year CAM is showing only 3 because those were all PPOs as CAM did not come for Day Z last year. This time things are looking good, as usual

Please name criminal litigation boutique firms in Delhi that hire non-NLUs with a decent CV and payroll and also offer good learning exposure.

I graduated in July 2024. What should my subject line be—an assessment internship application or an associate trainee application if I haven't interned before in the firm?

[If you can name more than 10 firms, I will be very grateful.]

How many stupid rules do you want the admin to make? And how much time should they waste? They have better work to do - actually resolving student issues. Instead of getting the admin to waste time on this shit, why not just do what many of the best universities in the world do? The a priori assumption behind their accounting systems is that the student is paying. If the parent pays, the record shows the account the payment came from (for refund or other questions), but also corresponds in such a way as to show that the student has paid, because the student (or whoever is paying on their behalf) is asked to supply a key piece of information which helps track the payment to that particular student's record. I would be very surprised indeed if Jindal (and frankly most unis in India) didn't do things in a similar way. But the way their thinking is different from the thinking of the type of unis I am talking about is that those unis don't treat students as children, they treat them as adults; if the student, whoever is paying on their behalf or their official scholarship sponsor doesn't pay by the deadline, it's the student who has to take the heat for it. Having been to an elite university abroad, I can tell you specifically that my institution's residential contract (and those of other institutions similar to my own) had a clause stating that they don't act in loco parentis - a clear sign that they don't waste their time by bothering about such things as students making out. Are you really telling me that you want the job of a university administration - some aspects of which academics may do - to include looking into this nonsense? You want them wasting their time looking into bank statements and things like that for something which isn't even criminal - students expressing their love for each other? Alright, look into that stuff for AML checks because you need to, but for daily things?

If you are so concerned about classrooms, alright, lock them up if you must (even universities abroad do that). In my view, a much more effective and ethical way than using cameras of persuading students not to use these spaces for lovemaking after hours is to explain that laws around occupiers' liability wouldn't apply to them, as they would be (i) either trespassers, as they had permission to be there for only a certain number of hours; or (ii) not using the infra for its intended purpose, meaning that if anything happened to them (somebody broke a kneecap falling downstairs or something), admin wouldn't take any responsibility.

Your way of thinking, if put into practical operation, would just result in a uni admin tilting at windmills.

The answer to your last question is no. It never has been, considering that NLUD's placement scene has never been as thriving as even NLUJ or GNLU earlier, let alone NALSAR and NUJS. GNLU of course has improved by leaps and bounds and its domestic placement scene is currently as good as NUJS, arguably the best of all Indian law schools.
