Send an email to the HR requesting for an assessment internship. Alternatively, you can apply for an internship for a month and during the course of your internship, inform the team that you'd like to be considered for an assessment internship. Depending upon the need, they might convert your internship into an assessment internship or call you back for another round.

The attrition rate in the team is very high. They've got you doing tasks that are basically clerical work with a fancy title. Very toxic culture too. Good luck!

will try my best!

I am also trying to figure out adhd as I believe some part of it i.e- hyperfocus on things I like it good but the constant feeling of hating everything that I end up doing for a long time is not going to be good for me in the long term.

that being said, thank you for your comment

Hi!

I do not have to support my parents and I do not have any responsibilities so as long as I can support myself and I am content with myself, my parents are happy. I will definitely not fall into this for the money.

I will come back to this thread when I graduate and let you all know what happened and what I am planning.

godspeed

I am a middle class student from a tier 2 NLU that does not sponsor moot competition participation and I do not have the financial resources to spend money on my own for the moot travel expenses. I do have enough reputed blog publications at tier 1 NLUs and I have decent grades. I would like to know how impactful would moot courts be considering the publications and grades I have for my CV and PPO chances. Does no moot mean no PPO ?

You are totally wrong. The Gen Z batches started much earlier: from 2013 onwards, because the starting birth year for Gen Z is 1995/96. That’s right, believe it or not but early Gen Z is now approaching 30. The last Gen Z batch to pass out will be in 2026 or thereabouts, then Gen Alpha will enter NLUs. Gen Alpha is Gen Z on steroids in terms of exposure to social media and wokeness, so god only knows what will happen to NLUs in future!

seems like everyone is just bumping this comment.

Just google things you want to know how to do, or even this exact query.

Secondly, see people around you. You will be able to figure out features they are using to make life easier. If they are the types who won't teach you, google those features.

Some easy stuff in formatting long docs for you to look up -

1. How to do proper autonumbering - see the option that works best for you,

2. How to create a hyper linked index

3. hyperlinking clauses.

If you know these 3, you know enough. Most long contracts don't have anything more.

If you have any other specific questions, ask

1. Double faced with everyone

2. Disguising insults as jokes with everyone.

3. Only respecting people when they can provide some value, mistreating office staff

4. Doesn't teach and makes you feel stupid for not knowing from day 1.

5. Doesn't ask about health when you drop a message telling you are sick/relatives death.

6. Tries to get to know about personal life - be it anything about it.

7. Is jealous when you share good news of any kind/ gets upset about your individual professional growth.

8. Many others, but this basically.

IndusLaw Capital market team hands down has the best work culture. No one leaves the team other than due to personal reasons. The Capital markets team across all offices - Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore works as one team. Join this team without any second thought if you get the opportunity.

Think many of them just declare it all and pay the tax. There's enough to go around and more - excepting the juniors/ associates! AMS is considered to be one of Delhi's highest tax payers - I take this as a litmus test on the general levels of integrity of the bar (or at least our top lawyers) with such matters ... dont waste your time on this and get back to reading your brief. If you dont have one, read a judgment of note or a book or at the very least observe a court proceedings - most of them are streaming live - so much to learn.

Nah won't recommed CLC or any of those three centres at all. It's practically DIY.. from studying to internships, jobs etc. They just provide you with the DU tag (if it's even worth it considering 3000 graduate every year) and that's about it. You go figure everything else yourself. Those of you who want to go into corporate please stay clear of DU.

Is anyone here applying for this exam? I’m curious about the career prospects associated with this role. Do we typically get jobs in law firms after passing this exam? What are the benefits of clearing it? If anyone has appeared for it before, is a trademark agent, or has knowledge about this, please share your insights. Thanks.

I've created a general Telegram group for graduates who are still searching for jobs and dealing with anxiety and stress etc. I believe it would be beneficial for us to discuss career options, share our anxieties, rant, or simply support each other. Seniors are also welcome to join if they can offer advice, blueprints, internships, referrals, or any other form of support.

Can someone with knowledge tell:

1. What is the main difference between a lawyer and a solicitor?

2. Can a person be both?

3. What are the qualifications to become a solicitor?

4. Can't a lawyer who is not qualified to become a solicitor, perform the work that a solicitor does?

5. Is there any difference in roles in between an England solicitor and Indian solicitor?

6. Is solicitor system existing only in presidency towns? Can a solicitor from Bombay, go to say Jaipur and work as a solicitor there. Or is it that in cities like Jaipur lawyers and solicitors are the same and there is no separate requirement or provision of having a solicitor.

Answers to all or any of these questions will be helpful.

I wish to enter litigation after working 1-2 years in In-House.

I want to practice in delhi but have no litigation contacts, So how do I apply to the right chambers that pay decently??

Please list good chambers for civil litigation or should I join disputes team of a law firm

A newly graduated lawyer, having no idea on how we as lawyers can save some tax money, I’ve heard my seniors at places I’ve interned previously talk about how lawyers do not have to pay taxes but don’t know how to avail that,What tax benefits do lawyers have and how can we avail them?

How is this trolling? For Christ's sake, I go to law school in England and know almost nothing about Indian law, but even I know what this question meant, found the response ignorant (not only because of the writer not knowing about solicitors in India, but confusing 'UK' with 'England and Wales'), which is why I think this response isn't in the least trollish!

If you have ADHD - it will be a difficult ride for you. Depending on how you cope with uncertainty, bad surprises and stress, you might actually end up falling ill due to the way things work in law firms. Contrary to what you might have heard - other than lip service to the cause of mental health - most law firms actually don't have any facilities that can help you cope. It varies from team to team- but even then, the overall expectation is that you have a thick skin, are available most of the times, and keep your problems to yourself.

Also, if you have a tendency to get disinterested or distracted (As part of your ADHD) - that will not work well for you professionally. No point of taking up a profession where you can't excel due to the unique way your mind works AND which takes away life's peace for you.

If money is not an issue - don't succumb to the temptation. Find something else. There is definitely an advantage to working in law firms. You develop a certain rigour, work ethic & learn how to multi-task on things that you have no idea about. But it comes at a severe cost of mental health - as most law firms believe in throwing you at the deep end to see if you sink or swim. It's not useful.

My two cents would be: (A) try fresher jobs in in-house work. Some companies do offer it. It will be more relaxed. There will be a sensible learning curve. I work in-house - and trust me, it is not as easy as people make it out to be. And it is far from a paper-pushing role, as it is usually portrayed to be. (B) you can consider jobs in the policy space - but, even these if you do engaged government work - can be equally if not more stressful.

Some partners gotta stop thinking that they are Senior Advocates lol. There is a reason they are out there litigating hardcore and you’re here. That’s the diff, atleast as a young lawyer I accept that I have chosen easier way to litigate by being in the firm lol, I know my counterpart in a chamber is grinding more. Helps keep the attitude in check. Partners would benefit by the same approach.

Your juniors will not see you god like because hey you aren’t smart or crafty like them by any mile. Relax, be humble

There seems to be a dearth of any conclusive figures on what AZB Mumbai is currently offering to its A0s. Even people with PPOs are in the dark due to the firm not disclosing any details prior to joining/ If anyone from the 2023 batch (or 2024 batch if you have received your offer letters) could give an update on the current figures, especially after the rumored hike in 2023, that would be really helpful in decision-making with Day Zero right around the corner. Would also appreciate insights into the salary figures at other designations if you're aware of the same.

Hello,

I know it's a old thread but I have a sibling, and similar doubts.

Talking about myself, I am doing Economics at St Stephen's College. Also, I do plan to do a 3 year LLb from Faculty of Law.

I am a bit tensed about my sibling. He is unable to decide what's worth more, NLUD or Economics at Stephen's. He sees me as his ideal, but that's bad honestly.

So, talking in terms of prestige and legacy, what's better, NLUD or Economics at Stephen's? (Also none of us is worried about placements)

Thanks

I got admission here.

I was watching Rajdeep Sardesai interview Kaushik Basu about this. Kaushik Basu made a good point. He said that companies may now reduce the stipend amount to interns, knowing that they will get paid by the government. So, in the end, the level of financial assistance given to students will be the same. I think what the government should instead have done is made it illegal for companies not to pay interns at all. The law should have also covered Law firms n senior advocates.

Guess either you have not explored Delhi fully or have a very limited sample size of Mumbai, because Mumbai sells tons of luxury cars and you can spot all kinds there. In Delhi it’s mostly around Central/South Delhi + Ggn across the border where luxury cars can be seen.

Regarding Age are you sure the drivers were in their 20s only or may have been older but looking young 😛

Prescribe atleast 10 years of practice. The applicants should have atleast 30 judgments in their name. This should be done for JCJs and DJs and increase the salary and perks. Results will follow in no time.

But the question remains: why will someone with a decent practice become a judge ?

Good luck India !

It could grow. Tamil Nadu is a wealthy industrial state. Chennai has a thriving corporate law practice with more scope for growth. TN doesn't have good quality law schools unlike other states like Maharashtra or NCR.

Sastra, Chennai Law College and TNNLU are the best. TNNLU will grow further.

In litigation what is the usual course of starting a juniorship? Do you start with a senior who has mix practice of trial and high court and then subsequently go after famous senior counsels in your interested areas of law? And how much time should a junior spend in one chamber or with one senior advocate?

That's very strange, since I have got Yatri Sathi cabs from almost every part of the city ever since I started to use it about 1.5 years back. Especially during rides to and from the airport and railway stations, where such cabs don't need to pay extra parking fees unlike private operators like Uber, Ola etc. Try using the non-AC option, that would allow you to tap the huge yellow cab network too.

If an institution is so much dependent on one person who has not even been officially in charge of the institution, then the question arises as to whether she finds it in her interest to maintain and sustain such dependence. It is also not ethical for an emeritus professor to draw full professor salary.

Is it now appropriate to bring some form of regulation regarding the conduct of Advocates within Open Court, Mr. Nedumpara acts more as a publicist who simply wants his name in the papers rather than a advocate attempting to win a case for his client!

This behaviour demeans our profession and damages the name of Advocates in society.
