It depends not so much on firms but teams.

Some teams are hard to get into. There is massive hiring in GC and Disputes. If the joining date is far, interview is gonna be tougher than when it's close. Close means they've limited time to complete the hiring.

The toughest interview to crack is of the teams where the hiring is limited to 2-4 associates at best - such as Competition, Insolvency etc.

For GC/Disputes, firm might interview 80-90 candidates and hire 50+ in each practice but for competition and suchlike, they interview up to 25 and hire 2-4.

India's new criminal laws - the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Act (BNS), Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) - mark a significant step forward for the legal system. The BSA and BNSS are particularly crucial in setting new standards for digital forensic investigations. These new laws, coming into effect next week, will ensure that forensic investigations are tightly into criminal justice, thus completing the loop.

Adopting Global Best Practices:
To ensure the success of these laws, India can benefit from aligning its procedures with international standards like ISO/IEC 27037:2012 for digital evidence identification, collection, and preservation, and NIST SP 800-86 for integrating forensic techniques into incident response.

Enhancing Investigative Standards:
International guidelines such as the SWGDE Best Practices and the ASTM E2916 Standard Guide for Forensic Digital Image Processing can elevate investigative procedures involving digital evidence. The ENFSI Best Practice Manual and the US DOJ's Electronic Crime Scene Investigation guide can also serve as valuable frameworks for India.

Consistency across Jurisdictions:
Adopting international standards like the Canadian Police College's Digital Forensics: Best Practices, Australia's Electronic Evidence Guide, and Singapore's Forensic Science Division Digital Evidence Standard Operating Procedures can ensure consistency in digital investigation practices across different states and regions in India.

Future-proofing Investigations:
By embracing dynamic international standards like the UAE's Dubai Police Cyber Crime Investigation Manual, which is regularly updated to reflect emerging technologies, India can future-proof its digital forensic capabilities and stay ahead of evolving criminal methods.

Conclusion:
The adoption of international standards for digital forensics in India can enhance the credibility and efficiency of the legal system, safeguarding citizens' rights. This proactive approach sets a precedent for international collaboration and knowledge-sharing to propel India's digital forensic capabilities onto the global stage. NFSU will play a central role in enhancing the capability and competence in rolling these out successfully. Therefore the recent funding of ₹2254 crores to NFSU could not have come at a better time.

It is unlikely that such people will go to these NLUs, which are rife with political interference. They need discretion and freedom to work, like Sudhir has at NLSIU courtesy DYC and the NLS EC. The VC won't transform the system all by himself. The system has to change sufficiently as to allow a decent person to be brought in charge.

More importance given to publications based on type of job-

1. Academia (ofc)

2. Policy / think tanks (they see if you have conceptual clarity)

3. Research based firms like NDA value publications (min. 3 for just applying for an internship)

4. T1, T2 law firms value high quality publications, but I've seen ppl getting hired who don't have publications, but have compensated for that some other way (moots, internships, etc)

5. Litigation (depends on your senior /chamber, but not too much relevance. Moots matter more here)

6. PSU/ Govt jobs (just clear entrance/ interview with whatever basic qualifications, you'll get the job)

From personal experience, both getting the PPO interview scheduled and cracking the interviews was fairly tough. There were several interns in my cohort during both internships, and I happened to be the only one who was even offered the interview. The interviews themselves definitely weren't casual chats with the partners - both rounds had technical elements which required concepts to be situationally applied to answer the questions. From what I had heard as well, most of those who are able to get an interview are able to convert, but I'd say that's because your team has had sufficient time to gauge your performance and know that you are competent enough (or rather, gel well enough). Nonetheless, don't take the interviews lightly, be thorough with the very foundations of corporate law, and don't try to fluff, you'll be digging yourself into a deeper hole

Guys, I am an English Lit Graduate. I had this fascination with Law for the last 1.5 years or so and wanted to pursue it but after reading so much on LI about the current sad state of the profession, I decided not to go down this lane.

Apart from my interest in Law, I also like Economics, Banking, Finance, etc. And right now, I am preparing for various Banking Sector Exams. In the future, I plan to pursue a Graduate-level education in Economics and Finance. And as far as I know, graduate-level Economics and Finance are very Math-heavy. (Generally, to pursue a Master's in Economics/Finance we should know the Undergrad Math Major Topics)

So, I want to discuss with you all how people like me who is a hardcore humanities guy can prepare for the required Math skills.

If you're someone who has followed this path or if you know someone in your circle and how they did it then comment down your 2 cents.

TIA.

Lol how is this so similar to what happened to me. Dumped a guy and the second guy took videos and threatened me.

First off, leaking on porn sites is a baseless one, cuz let's be honest nothing comes off of it. Secondly, as is your case, just approach a woman cell from the police station. They literally saved my life and my parents didn't know anything at all

Hi, can you tell me how long ago did you apply? Considering I keep applying and they reject. Could be a skill issue as well who knows. (From a tier-1 pvt)Hi, can you tell me how long ago did you apply? Considering I keep applying and they reject. Could be a skill issue as well who knows. (From a tier-1 pvt)

I'm an unemployed grad desperate for a job. I was told that most LPOs don't outrightly say that they are LPO's so how to find and apply for them? Please name some. Also what's the eligibility for them and are there any high paying ones too? Some person on reddit was saying that there was this immigration firm called namo that was offering around 8lpa for lpo job. Is this true? Are there really such immigration firms hiring freshers?

The thing is that my college's placement cell is as good as not having one. My resume is not that strong either to get law firm jobs. Litigation pays peanuts where i live (delhi). There's a serious dearth of options. It's a mind numbing situation. Please suggest anything realistic guyss..

My mental health is terrible due to family shaming and reminding how miserable I am daily. So I just cannot afford a drop or sitting at home.TIA.

ONGC, IREDA are all central government PSU's.

Isn't it illegal to hire from campus? It will bypass all fair competition norms. It excludes other college students from having a fair chance in government jobs.

Kia Motors / Amarchand can tell we prefer NLUs.

Government PSU's and Organizations are not permitted to give preference to one college over other.

IBPS, CLAT PG etc these exams are conducted to hire lawyers for PSU's.

Or these PSU's can conduct seperate tests with eligibility criteria. But this is illegal. Must be challenged.

There is too much work and very few people to manage and oversee it. Extremely high attrition rate which is a massive red flag, renders the team vulnerable at all times and adds extra burden during handovers. You lose sanity and are buried with work all week long and are expected to work on all weekends and public holidays. Relatively lesser pay and bonus by market standards. Only shining light is that work culture is better (as claimed) than other law firms, but doesn’t seem to be true if you hear feedback from people who have left the team. Bill sharing comes across as a sham and culture can be categorised as mildly toxic if not at par with tier 1 law firms. Was a good team a while ago, steep decline in recent few years. Quality of team has gone down as hiring from tier 1 firms is impossible at low salary packages. Irony is that firm goes over board with new recruits (desperate hiring) when it comes to salary but can’t give such hikes to existing recruits who have toiled hard.

Either the BJP people are super dumb or super Machiavellian. Super dumb because this is an absolutely ridiculous ground on which to attack Gopal. And the RW is anyway anti-reservation. On the other hand, super Machiavellian because the purpose could be to discredit Gopal as someone left-liberals shouldn’t trust, or to scuttle his chances of a Rajya Sabha ticket (in case any party had that in mind). Remember, he is Mahua Moitra‘s lawyer and lawyer for many other people in the opposition.

Trilegal (two rounds of tough interview grilling, PPO is incredibly rare) ≥ JSA (two tough interviews but the second is with equity partner, some are unwilling to share billing share (getting the interview is incredibly tough, like very tough considering the bad internship policy)> S&R (no interview, but tough grilling session in presentation > KCO = SAM = Saraf (easy subject to good batch rank and feedback, also selective wrt college, but not everyone gets the job > CAM (everyone gets the job, should they get the interview date fixed)

Where can we stream or torrent it for free? I prefer streaming.

NOTE: Piracy is 1 million percent justified in such cases.

It was the easiest interview I've ever sat for — all they wanted to see in those 10 minutes was some basic understanding of the Contracts Act and the Companies Act. An SA took my interview, and even where I did not know certain things, they continuously nudged me in the right direction to see if I can catch onto the underlying logic behind the statutory provisions. As such, I think you'd do fairly well in the interview if you just go through those basic M&A interview question templates all internship committees have.

PS: I was from Nalsar, so they may have been biased towards that tag; can't speak either way on that.

One effort of him has failed spectacularly, so every other effort should be looked into carefully before dubbing it a resounding success. So far, he has done one good thing, which is to attract good faculty in a short period of time. Several bad things too, but I won't harp on those.

Here is an alternate rationale for people not leaving. The other senior partner left to start his own firm. Other partners and PAs are unknown in the industry with no book of their own. Also most of the so called seniors are awarded because they are there for long and not merit.

Hello seniors, in three weeks I'll start my stint as an A0 at a T1 (most probably in a M&A/PE team). Please provide some suggestions as to how do I make a good first impression, what things to keep in mind before joining. What are the laws/areas I should brush up my concepts on. Anything else, that I might have missed. I hope to work hard and not disappoint my team. Currently feeling quite nervous and sacred, as I fear that they will find me dumb/incompetent. Please guide!

Something tells me he didn't go to an NLU at all, but was educated (or is being educated) abroad (either in England, Australia or New Zealand). I put forward this hypothesis for the following reasons:

1. In India, we don't really put a dash when using the term 'Tier 1'. Therefore, if he is pretending to have read law at an Indian university, this is a textbook example of a Freudian slip.

2. I thought we'd absorbed Americanisms quite readily into our English. The word 'mate' certainly isn't an Americanism, but is much more commonly used in informal conversation in England and Australia for sure (speaking from personal experience), and likely New Zealand as well. The Americanism equivalent of 'mate' is, from my knowledge, 'buddy' (which I have heard quite often in India) or 'my guy'. So if he was working towards a JD at Yale and used those terms, just the thing which I previously described as a 'Freudian slip' would be very slim evidence of him being educated abroad, because those terms are co-opted into our English now.

Lol I wanna study law at a tier 1 nlu and get a corp placement that's why opting for bsc llb at nujs/nliu, I have under 1000 rank and not under 500 required for ba llb at t1 NLUs , that's why aiming for nujs/nliu bsc course as their cutoff went till 1000 because they r only accepting science kids and I have science so...

Hello.

I would suggest you must continue with engineering as it is the most in demand industry. Working with any product based company gives many perks which a T1 law firm might not give. Also T1 is difficult to get into.

In a nutshell, it is difficult to assess merit in law than in engineering. You might be the topper of the batch or have excellent mooting or debating skills, but HR for no reason can reject your candidature.

You will be surprised to know that law students have to intern a lot and even getting a T1 internship is a matter of celebration. But that's not in tech, you internships are not mandatory and if it's there are paid. On the other hand mostly law internships are unpaid.

Saraf HR would tag you along and even make statements to the effect that your offer letter is just pending a signature from the MP and then ghost you. Then, they would breadcrumb you about giving you an offer on Day Zero and ghost you there as well. Ironically Saraf which claims to be all about fairness and equity (no pun intended) is all opaque and unprofessional with their interns.

All of this happened to my friend who is from a T1 NLU. The chap is placed with another firm, but I doubt that the HR or the firm's attitude has changed much.

Don't count on their word as it doesn't mean anything. Keep a backup option lest you end up in the same situation.

Saraf's HR would schedule an interview, breadcrumb you for a few days including statements to the effect of you getting an offer (all that is pending is signature of the partner) and then suddenly ghost you. They would tag you along till Day Zero and then ghost you on Day Zero too.

Highly unprofessional firm when it comes to rolling out PPOs. No set timelines or policies.

P.S: The aforementioned approach is exactly how they dealt my friend who is from a Tier 1 NLU. Nothing wrong with the chap and he's placed with another firm. But it does tell you how Saraf which claims to be all about fairness and equity (no pun intended lol) is actaully

Amazing!

I interned with them in Jan 2023.

Rajiv's team: Ishaan, Tejasv, Anshuman, Agni, and Uddeshya. All of them are sweet desi mundde.

They have great work and offer unparalleled exposure. All of them are buddies and they complete work way before deadline.

FEMA, IPC, NA Act, PMLA etc.

If I hadn't been looking for career in competition, I'd have joined their team no doubt. Still in good relations with some of them.

So he didnt build the wall then? Why couldnt he build one? its just a wall right? You seem to misunderstand how populists work and how politicians dont always mean the things they say. Rahul Gandhi may say he wants jitni abadi utni haq- but I dont think if he ever gets into power he will actually enact numeracy laws. Pretty sure Modi said hed put like 4 lakhs was it?or 8 lakhs? Some money in everyones account- that didnt happen either.

Believe you why? youve gone and spoken to a lot of working class americans? have you spoken to ten? How do you make sense of the fact that black working class americans want stricter laws on immigration? Is it all about race? or could it be that uneducated illegal immigrants are allowed into the country by parties controlled by billionaires who want to import a slave caste that wont unionise, wont receive social security, and they want to do that instead of paying working class americans, black, white, hispanic, whatever,a higher minimum wage and health care and social security? Could it be about class?

for most working class people- they like asian/indian doctors and scientists and techies and they want to keep highly skilled people because those guys contribute to the economy and pay taxes. they figure- as long as these people are getting educated in our best institutions- why shouldnt they stay and contribute to our economy.

I dont know man- if I were a working class american, id probably believe the same things.

Why imagine people who disagree with you are racist without evidence? it could be that theyre making rational decisions for themselves.
