Faculty was much better earlier in the sense that now 10 faculties are teaching the same course given there are 15-20 section every semester for each subject, the disparity in quality between professors teaching the same course is immense, this also translates in very random marking and assessments across sections. There might be people like Prabhash ranjan teaching Trade law to one section the next section might be taught the same subject by a fresh llm graduate.

Senior designation has become a joke. Most of these so called seniors have no briefs. Thanks to the overzealousness of one ▮▮▮, the entire process has become a complete joke. More seniors roaming the halls of the courts than juniors.

God I miss the old days when a senior gown actually meant something.

▮▮▮.

Jurisphere used to claim they run their own LLMs from their own servers to avoid data security questions during their initial pitches. Something Sarvam just raised 300 million dollars to do last month, a couple of NUJS grads have apparently been doing since 2024 LOL.

I am a 2026 grad from a T1 NLU and am set to join a well-known Delhi chamber with a strong arbitration work (construction arbitration in particular). I have interned there previously and know that the work is great but my only issue is with regards to pay.

My questions are -

1. How difficult would it be to transition to a T1/T2 law firm in the same practice area after one or two years?

2. Also, how should I approach the initial years of my chamber practice to maximize my prospects for such a switch?

I don’t think there is any other NLU in the list other than NLSIU. If I am right, then it reinforces the view that other NLU grads opt for safe and boring law firm careers. And even if they do opt for litigation, they are not being able to reach the same height as NLSIU alumni.

Happy to stand corrected.

Hi Guys, I recently completed my LL.M. in IPR from HNLU. I have been applying for job relentlessly for the past two months. I am so tired of applying and getting no response.

Don't go for "spaces which will almost guarantee accept a novice writer". That's neither going to help you improve your skills nor going to make your CV look good. At the very least, try places like LiveLaw/Bar & Bench etc. (which, anyway, don't have a very high bar).

Graduated from one of the 3, around 4 years back.

Took a drop so graduated at 24.

28 now.

Did litigation for 4 years and honestly I'm not made for this. Being first gen I am making only 75K to 90K per month.

I wish to be stable as parents have retired and Delhi is expensive.

Can I join T1 law firms now ? Have a good CV from law school times (top20 of batch, certain international moots and Good publications).

My CV is good only to line up waste-paper bins. I am a voracious reader and a decent student as well (i think)

, just have been too complacent to do anything. But i am changing things now. And one of them is i would like to have a good publishing record but for that i need to start somewhere. I am looking for spaces which will almost guarantee accept a novice writer's attempt on socio-economic/ legal topics. Please help.

I have started practise in the Punjab and Haryana High Court recently, I would like a sense of who the good seniors are in the HC, who are the younger advocates with a lot of work. Also would like a general sense of what the court culture is in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Great heavens!. Downfall continues. He is good for nothing. Had a poor rep in NALSAR, followed by NLUJAA where it became worse and further worsened since last 10 years at MNLU-N. As a founding VC, he did what he had to - Increased the batch size without adequate facilities to cater the large numbers, just to cover up for funds which even worsened the fund situation. Hostel were not constructed, acad block and library is yet to be completed, albeit his bunglow is fully furnished, have a well furnished office. He has just played with lives of 1000 students of NLUN

thoughts? similar to the pupillage or even the sqe in UK? do you think it would improve the overall quality of legal professionals in the country? Of course, this would have to be supported with mandatory stipend (at a liveable wage) for trainees, perhaps a requirement for chambers and firms to offer a minimum number each year to keep up with the number of law graduates. In the long term I think a 3+3 programme should be mandatory as well, but that's a discussion on the legal education side of it. I'm curious about the thoughts of practitioners.

No one cares. It's a nice thing to put on your business card. Basically a waste of your time unless you are looking to get a job in a UK law firm. And if you're looking to get a job in a UK firm, you should get the job offer first and then do the SQE and get them to pay for it.

MAYBE someone will care if you go the whole way and become a fully qualified UK solicitor (as in, not just passed SQE but currently on the Roll of Solicitors and with a valid practicing certificate for the year). But then there's a lot of admin and regulatory stuff you need to think about (for example you probably need to be insured etc and there are regulatory responsibilities etc)

As a fresh law graduate who wants to pursue commercial dispute resolution i.e., litigation & arbitration. Does joining a disputes team within a decent law firm is a good idea. If not what do you recommend then ?
Secondly, if we are considering this is a good idea as a fresher. Which is the better city to move, Delhi or Bombay ?.

I am a neurodivergent lawyer who studied in one of the NLUs. I was pretty average in exams but i found my strong forte in writing research papers and public speaking. Eventually i pursued a career in academia which kind of is a suitable profession for people like me i feel. Just a suggestion

Hello.. URGENT HELP needed, I'm a tire 2 college student in my 4th year currently interning in Tire 1 disputes team but not getting enough work (3-4 task in whole week) to prove my skils, can someone suggest me how can make my next 20 days more productive so I can ask for call back from my team.

Hi, you have mentioned that Indian company moving its base to UAE so I am not sure whether you are asking about setting up a subsidiary in UAE or moving your headquarter from India to UAE because if its about holding entity moving to UAE then there is a lot to be considered from valuation perspective etc. I work with a London based firm where we assist client with their international payments requirements by offering multi-currency IBANs. We also have office in DIFC and there are several options in UAE other than the three you have mentioned but thats the secondary stage and I suggest before that you please evaluate, the corporate structure and nuances around the same

NLSIU is protesting right now as we speak so i mean the landscape hasnt changed either. All law colleges go through protests, some have even brought down administrations in totality and showcase the resilient spirit of law students. NUJS, NLIU, HNLU, have witnessed complete administrative shifts such as VC resignations after these protests.

I think he would do well at any college of his choosing (maybe even by cracking CLAT and getting a T1 NLU). Most colleges have been pushing for better mental health support as well, such as NLIU Bhopal partnering with an online platform and a counsellor on campus, NLSIU Bengaluru also has similar mental health support. So law colleges are also moving in a manner where they want better inclusivity.

Neurodivergence, as with any other fields, will be a hurdle in law as its not at all accessible to people who do not fit a certain mould of lawyers. It starts with the entire NLU v. Non-NLUs fights, and then the Tier-1, 2, 3 firm debates, and finally, the ideal lawyer stereotype relating to their working styles, demeanours (for example: our coffee machines at CAM literally show pictures of white, well-groomed males with straight, short hair as the 'ideal' look for lawyers, or people who want to work on side-projects or their healths or relationships are often looked down upon and not considered good lawyers because what are you even doing outside office that is worth it?).

Sadly, law, and especially, if your son wants to do the stereotypical law (corporate houses or firms in a tier-1 city) is a highly, highly stereotyping profession that does not tolerate any divergence at all. There might be one-off examples here and there where the professors/tutors in education, and partners/teams in employment might be sensitive to the specific needs of a person, but these are so far and few and minuscule that it's not worth considering them. I see some of the comments here pointing out similar advice as negative, or stereotyping law, but that's just how law looks on the ground, and I'd rather your son have real overview of the profession than bullshit wrapped in golden foil of positivity and inclusion. Law is not there yet, and to promise someone that, especially when they are hoping to base a major portion of their life on it, is just wrong and misleading.

Studying law could be wonderful, and with the right peers/support groups, you son might have a wonderful time, but the professional law would not be this accommodating I am afraid. So my advice would be to consider alternative employments in law (if your son has genuine interest in law itself), that offer more agency to him, even though if it comes on the cost of reduced earnings, or stereotypical prestige lawyers are so boastful of [right now, freelance work comes to mind as a potential area of work, but I am sure it has its unique challenges, which freelancers would be better suited to comment on].

But regardless, good luck to you and your son specifically! I am sure there are ways to figure this out :)
