You could check out https://app.jurisphere.ai/ - our team at Trilegal has been using it quite a bit. It saves quite a lot of time with initial research. Some AZB folks have made it from what i hear

Lol..yeh aagye gyaan ke chode...genz did nothing. Go check the data, voter turnout was low especially in northern states. Moreover what happened is caste happened. The same old castism and reservation became the downfall of BJP esp in UP and MH. Except UC, every caste votes for SP or INC, especially since BSP was not a factor. So the approx 40 to SP is what caused immense damage to even cross 273.

This goes to prove that national security is the only "divisively-uniting" issue in recent Indian politics which can get you "300 par" votes. The Pakistan effect barely existed this time(compared to 2019). China seemed a dead topic. Religion as a topic can only take you so far(especially given that it's a divisive topic with no uniting element except for the ones who may "immediately benefit" from it). A "nationwide huddling" tendency behind a strong man(like Modi) only exists when national security is the overarching theme.

To illustrate: the last election did feel divisive but it felt like Modi made a war cry against those working against the nation. Which tends to pull in the voters usually in the "grey" against Modi's Leviathan. This time it was a dirty property battle for the national control of resources, with Modi not shying away from pointing out which side should get the resources. The latter narrative almost never gets you votes from the grey(usually the rural votes) because rural India has far too often learnt that in India that though "they" maybe promised control, rural India often never gets to enjoy it.

If I.N.D.I.A alliance forms expect a fractured government. Every few months someone will demand something. We may also see a new PM every 6-12 months like Nepal. However this will hamper every program and policy.

If BJP forms government, it will not be stable or strong enough to push things like UCC or CAA or NRC. Moreover they will have CBN & Nitish hanging on top of them like a damocles sword ready to eat more and more.

So, whichever government does form will be much weaker than the last 2 terms. Expect economic reforms to slow down, social freebies to be given, reservation to be increased and even introduced in private sector and moreover a fun next 5 years.

Par Hume kya ? Hum toh wohi office jake, gaand ghisa ke, do Paisa kuma ke, tax deke, mar jayenge.

Dhruv rathee had negligible impact on elections except parroting narratives of Congress. Stop hyping him up. Plus BJP may or may not lost 2029.

BJP is going to get aggressive for next elections. This election just gave them a reality check of corruption and taking criminals from other parties.

Unlikely since all T1 NLUs have large batch sizes now. T1 firm hiring also seems to be at the same level. By a generous estimate, around 700 students would get T1 and comparable jobs. If you compare batch sizes, most of these would go to the T1 NLUs and JGLS, so no reason for RML placements to improve.

While a lot of what this top comment says is sad because it’s effectively saying don’t worry about your mental health and keep enduring the treatment meted out to you. It is also true. Since you have already accepted the job and have nowhere else to go now the best option is to stick around for a year and get your raise and bonus and leave. Unfortunately you will have to stick on till August / September because that’s when the firm gives raises and bonus. Unlike other firms. It is their way of not letting anyone take their bonus and leave during hiring season in April / May.

Chill, people. Even if the Congress comes to power the markets will do well, because Adani and Ambani fund them too. In the leaked Nira Radia tapes, Vajpayee’s adopted son Ranjan Bhattacharya was caught on tape saying that Mukesh had told him: “Congress mera dukaaan hai.” Google and look it up.

neither - Delhi office is a place full of snobs with a sub-par associate pool and Mumbai has 1 partner worth considering for M&A/PE mandates. Choose Bangalore if you want to work with great folks who value human resource, do cutting edge work and grow as a corporate lawyer.

It was not counting day. theres a news article in the Hindu today that says 14 people were arrested and most of them were charged with unlawful assembly and a few with resisting arrest. Dont say stuff you dont know.

I lost 12 lakhs today 😭😭😭 My salary is good and I am young, so not the end of the world. I'll make it up. But my strategy for now is that I'm not doing any new equity investments for the next 1 year at least. Also cutting down on show-off luxury brand spending. Was hoping to upgrade from my Tissot and buy a Rolex. Staying with Tissot 🫠

What's your story?

This has been discussed on LI before. Vibhute was sacked by Pune Univ for SH. See here. The students should have protested his appointment.

This is so true! I interned there last year and spent almost my entire internship in the NCLT and High Court. Not to attend hearings, but waiting for matters to reach and to keep the associates informed of the board position. This is a disputes team without court clerks to inform the team of the board position, so interns are made to go to courts and NCLT to do a court clerk’s job. Even tier 2 firms have court clerks who handle and take care of all this work. But here is a tier 1 firm that doesn’t want to spend on court clerks so they send interns to do the same job. Says a lot about the guidance and learning from the top of the team.

With all due respect and sincere honesty, CONNECTIONS

Best, if by way of blood relations, as direct or close as possible

An individual so connected is a part of the system for over 20 years (almost since childhood), before an outsider is

I do not say that being industrious, fair, sharp enough to grasp the subject, basic drafting skills, and research skills don't matter. Even amongst the connected, the ones who have these skills definitely shine better

Outsiders, specifically unconnected outsiders, will have to grease their elbows way, way more than a connected individual would, simply on account of not being born in the right family for litigation

I speak from personal experiences

Batchmates having such a background are way way ahead of me, despite all of us having fairly comparable skills

Adding value and stuff is a myth

No matter how much value you actually add, the senior will not let you get ahead of the curve, or even provide proper mentorship

Sorry to dampen your hopes, but you can develop a better approach if yp7 know the truth

The students have made the following demands -

1. A written commitment regarding refund of mess, internet and reading material fee, as these facilties were not provided to students
2. Show cause notice to all faculties involved in anti-student activities
3. Removal of anti-protest declaration from admission forms
4. Immediate redressal steps for water cooler cleaning in hostel and mess
5. Removal of 70% attendance rule in each subject till more transparent system for accounting attendance is in place
6. Option to opt out of mess
7. Extra curricular attendance leave in addition to medical leave
8. Initiation of constitution of interim student body
9. Notification of non-negotiable student visiting hours for VC Office

NDA has only pulled through because they got Nitish and Chandrababu Naidu. These guys are going to take a pound of flesh from Modi and Shah. They will take away 5+ ministries each including some big ones. Rail phir Bihar aa rahi hai, Naidu is going to take things like Commerce or Civil Aviation etc.

Just now they did a demographic analysis on India Today. Here's what happened:

1. NDA did well in seats dominated by UCs and STs

2. INDIA did well in seats dominated by Muslims and SCs.

3. In OBC seats it was a mixed picture: Jats and Yadavas went with INDIA, others went with NDA.

Overall, NDA and INDIA came close, but NDA pulls through narrowly because of good performances in certain swing states.

1. Rural distress. This is what is leading to underperformance in UP, especially Purvaanchal.

2. Farmers in the North. Wipe out in Punjab as expected, but significant losses in Haryana, Rajasthan and Western UP which are all areas with significant Jaat population. Moreover, in both Haryana and Rajasthan, the BJP has appointed weird CMs - they are neither Jaat nor Rajput. This has led to reversals.

3. Over-enthusiastically breaking down parties - in Maharashtra where both SS UBT & NCP SP are doing much better than Sena & NCP AP. BJP engineered breakaways of MLAs but the cadre did not shift or like this one bit.

4. Language and culture centralization issues - vis-a-vis states like Tamil Nadu and West Bengal respectively. The BJP is seen as the anti-federal force in both states and is facing the same problem that Congress did in both states when it was the big thing in Delhi.

...

The NDA is around 295 right now, but 15 + 15 of these are JDU and TDP. Both Nitish and Chandra Babu are wily foxes who can jump ship. Additionally, Sena's 6 and NCP AP's 2 may consider a 'ghar-vaapsi'. The BJP may be forced to have a less forceful (possibly Rajnath) or more developmental (like Gadkari) PM.

I don't want to scare you since you are joining the team and likely don't have much of a choice now, so I'll tell you the pros.

1. AZB has a really good brand name. While I hate this team from the very bottom of my heart, I'd be lying if I said I didn't benefit from the value of the AZB brand name. This team can be a launchpad for you. When you hit the one year mark, you can switch to a place that is saner. If you didn't join at all, you wouldn't have that option. You might not have much choice where you join right out of college. You do, however, have some more leeway to decide where you want to go from here.

2. Once you survive this team, you'll gain an incredible amount of grit. Once you've put up with this shit, everything else gets easier. Any and all criticism from the members of this team must be like water off a duck's back. ▮▮. I know this is easy for me to say, but please don't let them break your spirit. I promise you, law is a wonderful, meaningful profession. There is so much you can do with your law degree, and this team is just the starting point. Once you get a year's worth of experience from here, there's so much left to do.

3. Stress is a state of mind. There is no better team than this one to put that saying into practice. No matter how insane people in power are being, breathe in and out and expel stress. There was a person in the team that I used to really admire for being able to do this. Take small breaks, even if they're mental breaks and involve pretending to work. Do whatever it is that you need to, the world is not going to come to an end. 90% of the panic that happens in this team is generated uselessly. Meditate. Sleep. Say you're working from home and take naps. The panic masters in the team are not productive, no matter how they portray themselves. Trust me, you can be more productive if you're calm and rested.

4. They provide snacks on Mondays and Fridays. If you're non-vegetarian, the snacks are quite nice. If you're vegetarian, you have to make do with poha while the non-vegetarians enjoy chicken samosas. Console yourself with the thought that you're eating healthy. There are a bunch of street food places nearby.

This is not one of the pros as such but a word of advice, if you need leave, lie through your teeth. Do NOT try honesty here, it will not work. @ LI, I am genuinely trying to help OP, not spewing vitriol about this team like I want to. In the interest of free speech, please publish this comment. I have not named anyone (believe me, I want to!)

Even cnlu and nuals are doing better than rml currently in terms of corp culture and placements. Can't really comment what will happen in 2029 as things change a lot in 5 years. We never thought in 2019 that placements would become this pathetic in rml. But looking at the current batches and administration, it seems that situation is gonna become worse. Just be hopeful and give your best.

for any of that to be true- you have to show data on what percentage of the general vote share is comprised of GenZ voters. Do you have that data?

I find it highly suspect to think a tiny number of urvan young voters could produce results like this- consider it might be farmers and labourers and dalits and women.

Looks like we will have Modi heading a coalition government by a slim margin, plus a rejuvenated opposition doubling down on their social justice demands. Does this mean 5 years of a weak Modi government, cautious governance, bearish markets, welfarist spending and GDP growth in the 5% region? Or, could we still see free market reforms and privatisation?

I'm just dreading what happens to my mutual funds. I must have lost many lakhs today. 😓

Because Gen Z was the turning point in the 2024 election and Dhruv Rathee was the Man of the Match. The BJP focused on taking over TV news channels and Modi spoke at a lot of rallies. But these are all boomer communication strategies which do not appeal to Gen Z voters. On the other hand, the Congress used social media and YouTubers like Dhruv to reach Gen Z voters. Just look at the number of views that Dhruv gets: it's in the millions. This guy literally swung 30-40 seats single-handedly.

The other factor is that Gen Z is very liberal and does not like Modi and Hindutva. Just look at LI comments as a sample. A pro-Modi comment gets lots of downvotes. LI readers are not elites living in a bubble, they are your average Gen Z voter.

The big message of this election is the the BJP is losing for sure in 2029, By 2029, Gen Z will outnumber boomers and Gen Alpha will be first-time voters. The Congress will get a landslide victory. IMO Dhruv Rathee will get a Cabinet position in 2029 and may even be a PM candidate.

NRI quota might seem unfair to some, but, illegal, seriously? How is it illegal? Do you mean to say the NLUs who have an NRI quota are breaking the law? Are you a Law student? Do you understand what illegal means?

Yes, NRI kids with lower ranks than the General Merit students get into NLUs by paying high fees. if you think this affects the overall quality of the institute, what about the other quotas?

@LegallyIndia - these are really serious points and critical for anyone who is joining AZB Disputes, not just the fresher, to know. It could after all affect a person’s mental health and professional future if anyone has to join a team with so much negative feedback. Therefore, please do not moderate and block out the rest of the comments. Sometimes these comments can help a person make a decision that could make or break their career.

I hate people, humans and humanity in general. Suggest some areas of law that I can pursue which requires minimum to no human interactions. I'm done with social interaction and fake etiquettes. Two that come to mind are animal laws and environment law. Which other areas ? Serious question.

I have been allotted RMLNLU and there are no vaccancy out I wanna go into corporate bt all the seniors of rml are saying that placement is not that great bt yea placement are there. My doubt is by the time I graduate in the year 2029 will the placement scenario improve in rml

That's it

Thank you!!

BIG BREAKING: As of 9:30 am, the INDIA Alliance is giving a very good fight and Modi is in big trouble. Looks like the BJP will get less than 272 and Modi will be a lame duck PM at the mercy of coalition partners. Also an outside chance of Congress winning and Rahul as PM. It looks like Muslim, Yadav and Jat votes are consolidating against the BJP, plus probably unemployed youth. The Sensex is also tanking.

A lesson for the BJP here: arrogance doesn't pay and your priority needs to be giving employment to youth rather than building temples.
