So, I'm joining law school this year, but I come from a family of CAs. I plan to become a tax lawyer, and I've already cleared the foundation exam. I wish to clear the intermediate exam as well during my time in college. However, many people say that it is impossible and that I should focus on one thing at a time, while my parents say it's definitely doable. I don't know whose advice to follow. While I wish to complete the CA, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Please bring this to the attention of law students as well as public in general.

The university is charging as high fees as around 3.5 L yet it is not providing even the basic facilities due to LACK OF FUNDS. God knows where are the funds going!!!

We have a temporary library which is very small and hardly any effort is being made for the construction of the permanent library. The same goes for the hostels. The university is increasing its batch size but no new hostel is being constructed. First-years have to stay far away from the campus without even basic facilities such as regular electricity supply.

Apart from this, there is no facility for sports.

Though the university, being situated in the heat bursting of Nagpur, has started using ACs in hostels yet the ACs in the Academic Block are not operational.

The worst thing is that hardly any construction work is being done.

Despite complaints from the Student Body, the university is not reducing the fees.

Now only GOD can save us.

If it is legal and then a woman is trafficked and forced into this, then she can go to the lawful authorities. Currently they cannot because of this very reason. This is a proven fact. Read a little about the real stakeholders in an issue before deeming yourself as an expert offering solutions.

For the last time, if you had spent some time in studying animal rights and related literature, you would have learnt that animal rights activism does not translate into vegetarianism. People can be meat eaters and still legitimately advocate prevention of cruelty to animals. Many of the world's renowned animal activists have been non-vegetarians themselves. In the name of discussing NALSAR's atmosphere, you keep trolling about the same thing and you are doing neither yourself nor your institution any good by that. By all means discuss about the issues, but also bother to learn a little bit about the issues themselves.

no PPO's are given after first internship. the last PPO they gave was after 3 different internships. they have multiple interns coming in for callbacks right now, so the best you can hope for is another internship after which you manage a PPO.

be frank with the PA/SAs you're assigned to that you'd like to work there and have this be your assessment internship.

i personally loved my time with the team, they're very helpful and have a focus on maintaining a balance between work and personal lives. only had to stay in late a couple of times, and everyone was always really sweet.

best of luck with your internship!

Yeah. I met many people from India and China during my LLM year that I thought didnt deserve to be at an Ivy. Theyd embarass themselves by plagiarising and professors would then think that this is how all asians are so theyd have a dim view of international students. We need to do more to improve things at home, in education and employment, than trying to export the problem.

But what misdeeds has NKC actually done? Please note it cannot be hearsay or how bad he pronounces stuff when compared to say Messiah or how he manipulates recruitment and admin audit process to ensure a permanent position for a close relative and some others or how he bins inquiries ordered by EC (and happily forgotten) etc.

SJA needs some serious evidence. Cannot be wishy washy and half cooked stuff by vindictive faculty factions. Their politics will intensify in the coming days. SJA should talk to their predecessors especially the ones leading the charge against a well entrenched PIB and Co. Don't bother the ones from 2019-20 (coincidentally when NKC took over)

It seems to me if the left believes in secularism it should believe in secularism even when the oppressive forces are islamist theocracies around the world. It shocks me how happily left wing folks, people who call themselves feminists, will turn a blind eye to whats happening to women in islamic countries.

odd to call this a "heretical opinion" when it is literally the compromise ( prostitution legal, pimping and public soliciting banned ) which is currently the status quo, and is a very big divisive issue among feminist thought overall, but I get where you're coming from

We curiously didnt say that slavery was going to happen anyway so lets not bother abolishing it- why make the black market blacker. There is still modern slavery, but emancipation and anti slavery legislation did solve that problem in some measure.

The free market argument presupposes that there is an ethical way to do the prohibited act. There might be an ethical way to dispense drugs- pharmacies and drug regulation, and an ethical way to dispense alcohol- bars and alcohol licenses. But I dont think there is an ethical way to sell human beings. And that is the product being sold under prostitution- its the human being.

Especially when demand will always far outweigh supply. very very few women would happily sell their bodies when they have the option to do literally anything else. Very few women would consent to putting their lives and bodies at risk if they were not being trafficked, drugged, or experiencing financial destitution. There will always be more sex buyers than sellers, and in that market you will have every incentive to abuse and force and traffick people to sell. Legalisation doesn't, for me, come with any kind of meaningful regulation when the market is so skewed.

This take has some problems
Firstly, the so-called "woke liberal ideology" if anything supports staunch veganism using the exact same logic you do. ( using woke in an idiotic manner is probably what got you marked trollish, but thats just speculation on my part )
Secondly, while there is nothing wrong with your perspective, others may have different perspectives - for example, they may believe that some animals are less intelligent/sapient and thus it's fine to eat them, they may believe that it's fine to eat all animals but we shouldn't mistreat them for no reason; they might even only support animals which they think are cute ( a little hypocritical and emotional yes, but your response imo is also unnecessarily vitriolic and is jumping to conclusions a little bit too far)
also note that mice are a much greater health and safety risk than dogs and cats, though even with those there are of course risks

TMPL Consultants are the most professional and sincere Legal Recruiter.Thats why in a span of 5 years they are considered Top Legal Recruiters by both the firms and the candidates.

They are very prompt in responding and always try to help their candidates.

Many times they go out of their way to help the candidates in finding the right opportunity.

Absolutely. Should have simply listened when my elders had asked me to opt for CS engineering. A lot of lawyers are under the impression that we are paid better in comparison to CS engineers, especially us folks from so called T-1 law schools. T-1 law school mein hoke bhi there's no guarantee of a high paying job. Compare this to CS engineering. Even if you do it from a tier 48 college and even if your initial salary is low, you can easily increase it by leaps and bounds if you're skilled enough, and not to forget swe's have decent wlb. A lot of these people also have very high base salaries, and not just iitians, these days even people from tier 3 colleges with pye of 2-2.5 years. I'm toh so done with this industry.

It IS disheartening. My solution to it was to build myself a community that rejected dogmatism. So I made a conscious effort to be friends with people from all different batches and all different political orientations. I counted among my friends avowed communists, socialists, and capitalists. I made friends with men and women, gay and straight, poor and rich. I made friends with liberals and conservatives and radicals. But it is hard to keep that up, ultimately my closest friends were people like me and were people who were open minded and curious and others- we didnt spend a lot of time talking about politics with .

I found debating society to be a refuge to the charged political atmosphere. If youre challenging yourself to argue a side you dont believe in pretty regularly, and you surround yourself with similar folks, that led to a lot of growth and discovery for me.I dont know if the debsoc is still that place on campus or no. Hopefully you will find some place that will do the same for you.

I dont know why its marked trollish. Mods here are completely captured by ideology.

I'm sorry that you had to go through all this.

I'm sure there are good people to help you out.

Try to stay away from her. Let her own karma hit her back.

Trust me, throughout my 29 years of life, I've never seen anyone escape their karma.

She'll face her own karma. You're probably facing yours.

Try to be a bigger person and let it slide this time. You'll not be ashamed of yourself later.

that is an argument, but I generally think "people are going to abuse and traffick women anyway so lets legalise it" doesnt solve the problem either. It renames the problem, but it doesnt solve it. Not if you care about the women. if your concern is easy access for men to abuse women and girls- thats a problem solved by legalisation. if your concern is well being for women- at least if youre able to jail pimps and punters and communicate to young people that this is not an acceptable way to treat women- we might make some progress.

In any case this wasnt written to solicit an argument about prostitution per se, it was written to encourage people to say sincerely held beliefs that are taboo within their political tribe.

Thank you for sharing your experiences from your time at NALSAR. It’s disheartening to hear that such inconsistencies and biases have been a longstanding issue. Your observations about the disconnect between stated values and actual practices, especially regarding various social justice issues, are quite revealing. It seems that the challenges of selective empathy and inconsistency in activism are deeply rooted in the campus culture.

Moreover, I'm concerned about why this post is being tagged as trollish when it raises a serious issue. Are diverse viewpoints not welcome in this forum? Isn't the goal to encourage thoughtful discourse rather than living in echo chambers?

Regulatory Litigation/IPR litigation

what is a better field in terms of overall future opportunities and scope, probability of moving to corporate from this, money etc.

If i need to go directly to corporate I know it should be IPR in some firm then, but is it better in terms of all the above than regulatory litigation in long term.

I am asking here because I dont know where else to ask, although if anyone does not wants to answer but knows how to figure this out on your own with research I am okay doing that as well, pls tell me a way.

P.S. give reason with your ans so that I can understand,

Anyone knows what are the chances of getting a PPO at SAM Bangalore even after Day Zero - considering it is the first internship?

What are things I should do before the internship (to prep), during and then after? (Including how to start the PPO conversation).

Anyone who has interned in the team and can provide some insights into how the team functions and stuff you’ve worked on? And what’s the general environment like?

Thanks so much. I’d really appreciate a detailed response :)

This is for anyone who has appeared for an interview before any of the Hon'ble Judges of the Supreme Court, through the Supreme Court Judicial Clerkship Exam.

Has anyone, so far, received any update on selection, or any emails in that regard?

Any leads would help a lot of the candidates because the registry has no answer

The firm promotes itself as having expertise in banking and finance, but in reality, they don't have a single bank as a client. I wouldn't trust their rankings or the few positive reviews floating around. For accurate insights, I recommend speaking directly with current and former employees to get a clearer picture.

So basically we all know how difficult it is to get an internship/offer. I'm sure HRs are flooded with thousands upon thousands of resumes to the point they dunno which is which. Therefore, out of sheer desperation I decided on a novel approach. I called firms I've followed up on three times and I simply said I was asked to schedule an interview date with the HR and here I am. Got 3 interviews this way. Has anyone else tried this, how was the expert so far?

I am not sure how do I put this but there is nothing to worry about.

LI exaggerates and the reality of many such instances is far from how it is portrayed here. NALSAR is a safe place (feels weird even writing this, because it is genuinely one of those places where issues like sexual harrasment are taken very seriously). So trust that there is nothing to worry about.

I was in same situation in 2012. Someone gave me the best advice - take any job (even lit), and keep applying for corp jobs from there. I did lit for 2 years (pay was 10k - 30k pm), kept upskilling (all lit firms have good basic corp documents to read) and finally got into a (then) T3 corp firm in 2014. Rest is history.

What's the update on the WP lodged by the A/P alleging state inaction that is before the bench of Justice Jay Sengupta?

This post specifically references posts on LinkedIn. I have come across quite a number of posts stating vacancies for juniors. I have applied, wherever my experience and profile seems to have a good chance of being screened, at the very least. I have noticed that none of these are even being viewed by the poster. Downloading the resume, or an interview is too farfetched in this situation. Do the posters even come back to LinkedIn after or are all such vacancies straightway being filled through references? Just to provide context, I am not a fresher, and am looking to change chambers. I would truly appreciate some thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.

Just title. People are drowning in rising costs yet have to pay huge income tax... while farmers don't pay a paisa.

Suppose you earn 12 LPA . Govt takes 30% and then another 5% goes in various taxes.Then you have to pay for your rent and living costs. Leave you with nothing to spend on yourself and family.

Three questions I suppose:

1. Is it the same as saying “Tamil piece of faecal matter” or “Bengali piece of faecal matter?” Or is “Jharkhandi” not an ethnicity as such? Just an artificial state composed of different tribes?

2. Was it directed towards a particular person or a community as a whole? If a particular person, then he or she is not named, so how can it be an offence?

3. Can it be seen as a joke?

Hi All, if any one of you have more than 3-4 years of experience as a corporate lawyer, I request you to please guide me. I am really confused about this profession, it has been really difficult for me. I need help. I work in a small law firm in Hyderabad right now. I need to ask few questions from people who are highly experienced in this field and who is working in bigger laws firms. I'll share my IG: @ohthisuserisnotinterested, kindly DM me if you have time. thanks!

TMPL Consultants are the best Legal Recruiters.

All the other Recruiters are either ghosting the candidates once they get their CV and have shared it with all of their clients or randomly circulating their profiles without their consent.

TMPL Consultants are very professional and responsive.

Harvard Law School was established approximately 207 years ago, and NLSIU has been around only for approximately 38 years (other NLUs have even younger). Hence, Alumni from Harvard have had more time, resources, and opportunities to build a brand name for the University that is internationally recognized (like 8 US Presidents went to Harvard).

Same reason why many big names that the general population knows for their legal services are not from NLUs, but from GLCs and other colleges. NLUs only came about recently compared to the other law schools in India and abroad. The oldest NLU Alumni of many NLUs are just beginning or in the nascent stage of becoming senior counsels, or starting their own law firms, or becoming vice-chancellors in Universities.

In time, the Harvard name will carry less value, and other Universities from around the world will get their time in the sun. Based on recent news about employers not wanting to hire from Ivy League universities in the US (due to students' "activism>academics" attitude), is just the beginning.

I met one elderly aunty today, who is a family friend. She was telling me that her son studied at NUJS many years ago, when MP Singh was the VC. She said that NUJS had an excellent reputation then and today it still has a good reputation, but the current reputation is only because of the students. She was saying that the decline in admin quality and the level of political interference is very sad and something should be done about it.

Even such old people know that the present VC is so bad!

I’m getting tired both of my generation and the older generation that our teachers belong to. I wish everyone would just shut up about their politics and focus on what really matters: academics plus extra curricular activities. That is whole point of college! What is the point of going to college if you guys are gonna shove your BS politics down our throat and cancel people who disagree with you? I want to study and play football in college, not listen to woke political sermons about Israel and Palestine! I watch the news and can make up my own mind. The truth is that there are shades of grey, not black and white.

I’m from Mumbai so I would have the privilege of staying at home but I’m rather concerned about GLC’s rumoured lack of “good professors” and I really wish for it to be false.

This is the only reason I was considering Jindal since they seem to have good professors and extracurriculars; but not that fond of spending 5 years in Haryana either.

Although, I would say in the long term I think GLC would be beneficial ROI wise.

The inherent give and take of politics includes that exchange. Why single him out? And just like there are no permanent enemies and friends in politics, positions also change.

More importantly, the lawyer who alleged sexual exploitation by AM and later issued a clarification, very cleverly signalled those who fell for the honey pots. That tells a lot.

More seriously, what has been the progress of the case? Why hasn't LC vigorously pursued the matter so that the police investigation is completed in a timely manner? Also what about internal inquiry by the Bengal unit of BJP and also by CISF/CRPF because their jawans allegedly participated in the sexual assault and intimidation?
