Please name your college also 😝😝😝

A friend of mine got into UCLA LLM in Legal Philosophy. The UCLA School of Law gave him 35000 dollars in financial aid. Another person I know - just an acquaintance this time - who did her undergraduate law degree in Oxford got rejected by Harvard the first time she applied there for the LLM (at the end of her final year), and only got accepted the next year, after graduating with top grades not just from the BA in Jurisprudence, but from the Oxford BCL as well. Stop misleading people. Take your bitterness and sour grapes to people like yourself, and not to people who genuinely want to achieve in life (and this isn't to say that American LLMs aren't costly AF, or lower quality (from an academic perspective) than those in other countries). Or, if you really have examples of people who got in with bad grades, provide them: at least where they studied law at the undergraduate level and what grades they obtained. No hiding behind "privacy", "confidentiality", "anonymity" etc., and if mods get into that stuff, you allow these kinds of bitter comments to be posted all the time, so either admit you are biased or provide an opportunity for backing up of these claims. If you genuinely want to help, talk about problems getting a job in the U.S. with an LLM from there instead of making these kinds of claims.

Hello!

I come from a middle class family and have just gotten admission to a T1 NLU so my parents have decided to gift me a proper watch! Till now I have been using only Rs1500 type watches so do not really know what to look for in a good watch. I wanted to know which watches should I consider now that I am at a top NLU and would be interning at (hopefully) good places soon. My budget would be around 15k.

Your critique of Mumbai (not “Bombay”) is not only shortsighted but also reveals a profound ignorance of the city's complexities and vibrancy. Mumbai is a bustling metropolis, is the financial heartbeat of India, hosting the headquarters of numerous Tier 1 firms and multinational corporations. To dismiss it as a "giant slum" with "skyscrapers thrown around" is to overlook the dynamic blend of history, culture, and opportunity that defines this city.

Yes, Mumbai is expensive, but that’s the price you pay for being in one of the world's most significant economic hubs. The city attracts talent from across the globe, offering unparalleled professional opportunities, especially in law, finance, and entertainment.

Your comments on poverty and hygiene are not entirely unfounded, but they are grossly exaggerated and one-sided. Mumbai's challenges are emblematic of any major global city grappling with rapid urbanization. Compare this to New York, where the stark contrast between Wall Street's opulence and the struggles of the Bronx is equally striking. Yet, no one would dare call New York a "giant slum."

Moreover, Mumbai's spirit of resilience and community is unmatched. The local trains, often criticized for their overcrowding, are a lifeline for millions, embodying the city's ethos of perseverance and unity.

And the end of the day the moot point is this: If you hate Mumbai, then leave!, find an internship somewhere else. When I was working in Patna, I absolutely hated it, so I looked for another job and soon shifted to BLR which I consider like my second home now.

So true!!!!

The policy of conducting CLAT in regional languages is an ill-conceived, regressive measure that threatens to dismantle the very foundations of legal education in India. This absurd policy is not just a step backward; it is a leap into an abyss of mediocrity and provincialism, effectively sabotaging the aspirations of countless students who dream of engaging with the global legal community. It ignores the reality that the legal profession in India, and indeed worldwide, is deeply entrenched in English. Legal texts, landmark judgments, and critical legal scholarship are overwhelmingly available in English or foreign languages. Introducing regional languages into CLAT would create an insurmountable barrier for students when they face the inevitable reality of English-dominated legal education and practice.

This policy, under the guise of inclusivity, is a farce that will fragment the legal fraternity along linguistic lines, leading to insular education systems. Imagine the chaos of having state-based legal education monopolized by regional languages: Marathi for Maharashtra, Kannada for Karnataka, Bengali for West Bengal. This Balkanization of legal education is not just impractical; it is downright disastrous. It will force students to attend law schools in their home states, effectively trapping them in a localized educational bubble and depriving them of the rich, diverse educational experience that comes from interacting with peers from across the country. This policy will cripple the national integration that law schools should foster, instead fostering regional parochialism and mediocrity.

Moreover, this multilingual CLAT policy is a slap in the face to meritocracy. The current CLAT structure, which includes English comprehension, serves as a critical benchmark to ensure that students possess the essential skills required to excel in legal education and beyond. By diluting this standard, we are not leveling the playing field; we are lowering the bar to the point of absurdity. It is an insult to the intelligence and hard work of students who have strived to master English, often against considerable odds. The proponents of this misguided policy are delusional if they believe that regional language proficiency can substitute the global lingua franca that English has become.

Something which we already know - Legal education and quality of law gradutes in India is hitting new lows everyday. I write regularly on Linkedin about social issues and industry condition abouding the legal professiona and the ignornace of authorities and insitutions to intervene in this worrying situation. After every post of mine, my inbox is flooded with dms of law students and graduates who share their issues with me. Surprisingly most of these students are form expensive and reputed law schools whose fees runs in tens of lakhs, which is not even the most concerning point. What pains me the most is that the issues these poor kids are infact the reposnbility of their respetive volleges to train and groom then to tackle, for which they are charging such hefty fees. They should be respobility to provide facilities and opportunities to these students to learn and grow in the legal spehere, but instead they aren't apparetnly teaching them the most basic of legal stuff, such as research, article writing and networking, let alone good internships.

Imagine, going to a law schools by paying a fortune, only to ask for a guy for advice who comes from a very basic legal background compared to them. Does this indicate foreboding that the upcoming generation of law graduates/lawyers are very clueless, unguided and not mentored to dace the harsh realities of thi profession, if so, it is a grave concern.

Wow!!

First, this is one of the few comments I have seen on this topic which makes sense! You truly understand, man, you truly understand! None of this victimhood mentality that these woke virtue signalling brats love to propagate for you. As a blind person who 'looks blind' (with one eye looking smaller than the other because of its retina’s collapse in an operation) (mods please don't redact) and who has made it through law school to the other side, I would like to meet you and shake you by the hand.

Second and final point (and sorry for being a pedant), but it's 'Allen & Overy' :).

If you read even one thread on Legally India "you’ll see a lot of nonsense written", including (in part) the comment from which this is quoted.

1. Who gave you the idea that "unfunded positions are easy to get" at the UK law schools? They have minimum grades entry requirements, for god's sake, below which they won't even consider an application, no matter who is funding the applicant! Please look at the LLM websites for the various unis and ask admissions officers before potentially spending north of 7500 INR in application fees and then getting disappointed. Caveat: nobody's saying that "unfunded positions" aren't slightly easier than scholarships to obtain.

2. We are supposed to believe that "they will prefer someone from a better school with a poorer grade than someone from a worse school with a good grade". Things are neither as simple nor as black-and-white as this. What if someone from the "better school" with a good or even the top grade applies? No admissions officer (especially in this hawkish climate in the UK, with the government bouncing on their heads to reduce international recruitment) is going to be willing to make any compromises on grades. So, in a sentence: law school applicants (who are considering an LLM down the line), just do your utmost to get into the best law school you possibly can and work hard to achieve the top grades from day 1 (latter part of this advice applies to law students in early stage of their law school education as well, for whom I'll add that making a transfer if you can is worth it (e.g., NLUJ - NALSAR/NLUD/NLSIU)); for the rest, if (a) you have been to a law school where there's grade inflation and where you have good grades; or (b) you are at a good law school with weaker grades, please just accept (and I am sorry mods if this sounds angry) that LLM applications may not bring you all that much joy in life.

Someone starting a UK LLM at a Russell Group university in London in 2024 - 25 and an Oxbridge reject who has no shame in admitting it

Mumbai office. Delhi-NCR office hasn't been offering any callbacks or job offers to freshers (apart from few isolated instances, if any).

You won't have much choice in terms of which team/partner you work with since you'll be allocated a team by the HR on the day of your joining.

Harsh, but true. But for someone who can afford it, it can be a positive experience.

Step one would be to visit the LSAC website (you can just google LSAC, it stands for Law School Admission Council). The process is intuitive from there, so you shouldn't struggle too much.

In my opinion stick to the basics.

Contract law, topa, companies act, basics of soga, Constitutional law, difference between arbitration/conciliation/mediation/negotiation, IPC major provisions (if the firm does Criminal). Other than that be prepared to answer few hr questions such as tll me about yourself, family background, why law?, favourite things to do, etc. Avoid unrealistic answers, I remember when a guy was asked who's your mentor he had an essay memorised on foreign and Indian judges which seems way too unrealistic, be honest and yourself.

If you wanna do corp, then definitely SLSP is a better option. Their mooting culture, placements, alumni base, competitiveness among students, all of this is better than SLSN. SLSN is like any random private college. SLSP is at par with Tier-2 NLUs. But if you have financial issues and wanna go for litigation or something, then you can choose SLSN over SLSP.

I have been working as a legal officer in a public sector bank for a year now and wish to shift to a law firm - preferably in Hyderabad. However, Munbai, Bangalore and Delhi are fine too. Can you please suggest firms with openings or firms to apply. Any tips on how to apply are also appreciated.

Students did not say that they support the professor because they believe the vc had done the act in question or not. The solidarity is due to the procedural lapses and the many actions that the vc took to supress the complainant. Whether the complaint has merits or not is a sub-judice matter. It is the way the vc went ahead with the entire issue which shows his blatant disregard for rules of procedure.

All this is very confusing. There is chatter that NKC actually went out of the way to promote this faculty member despite dodgy paperwork submission. As per EC records following some protests the matter was referred to Adv Soumya Majumdar (KD's friend and now lawyer for the univ in this case) for advice/inquiry. There are allegations that NKC persuaded Adv Majumdar to dilute his findings so that the promotion could go through.

A similar thing happened concerning her involvement in the distance education mess.

So ppl have mixed feelings about all this.

Corporate lawyer

Victim: On June 8, 2015, Sadiya S Sabuwala, 22, was returning from Bhiwandi along with her family members by taxi by the Eastern Freeway. Around 1am, their taxi had crossed the tunnel in Chembur, when a red Audi came at high speed from the opposite direction and crashed into the taxi. The impact of the crash left Sadiya’s father and the taxi driver, Mohammed Hussain Abdul Sayyad dead. Others traveling in the taxi, including Sadiya, suffered severe injuries.

Perpetrator: The car was being driven by corporate lawyer Janhavi Ajit Gadkar. The police probe found that the lawyer was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident and was therefore booked by the RCF police under sections 304(ii) (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Motor Vehicles Act and the Maharashtra Prohibition Act.

Status of case: The lawyer was arrested right at the spot. Investigation is complete and charge-sheet filed. Arguments are going on. The case is listed for framing of charges on June 14.

Defence nahi bhai acceptance hai. Alot of us have moved on from this constant bickering and complaining state of people when they first shift. For corp law atleast there aren't many options and it isn't as easy for useful to relocate. So alot of us have accepted the fact ki yahi hai jo hai ab. Cribbing about your 7 lane roads back in Patna or jhansi will lead to nothing.

Bleu de Chanel - lasts long, very comfortably masculine and not overpowering.

Diptyque Tam Dao - slightly strong on the sandalwood but if you like that, hard recommend.

Creed Aventus - pricey but lasts long, everyone will know you splurge (so could be a good or bad thing).

EVMs were introduced long before Modi and every political party has won elections using them. There is no connection. Sibal has just prepared a general checklist to match serial numbers, seals etc. The process of securing the EVMs is more important than the functioning of the EVM itself. Ballot boxes would also have the same problem (plus some additional ones like box stuffing etc).

So multi lingual CLAT- then what ? What happens when the student enters NLU and can’t read dense stuff in English ? Court cases ? Salmond? Lord denning? Cardozo? James mill ? John Locke ? Austin? Hart ? Raz? Dworkin? Fuller ? Sunstein? MacKinnon? Nussbaum?

Or you’re suggesting we don’t do all this in law school ? It’ll be the only country where our best institutions don’t teach this to their lawyers but okay- what else goes that has literature mostly in English ? All of tech law , entertainment law , intellectual property, corporate law , securities , banking, taxation - all of that is in English, sometimes very difficult to parse language. So we do away with those courses then ?

How you propose they read legislation in English and interpret it ? How do you propose they read court cases and glean precedent?

How do you propose they manage law school ?

We should make it all multi lingual ? So what happens ? Students outside Hindi belt cannot go to North Indian law schools ? Only Marathi students go to law schools in Maharashtra ? Only kannadiga students for NLS and only Telugu students for Nalsar and only Bengalis in NUJS ? Or are you suggesting that every law school hire hundreds of profs so each student can learn in his mother tongue ?

What exactly is the plan here ?

The exam isn’t just a barrier for entry- believe it or not the exam serves a purpose - to test whether the student would - at a very minimal level - be able to handle the work that’s thrown at them .

This is a stupid stupid idea. And even more so because the CLAT is a stupid easy exam at least with English- it tests the bare minimum - it tests basic reading comprehension.it’s not asking you to recite Shakespeare or make sense of Judith butler.

Most Indians didn’t learn English as their first language - we all picked it up in school and don’t speak it to our parents - I’m sorry for people who didn’t get to a good school and couldn’t learn it. I also think it’s a loss that their other talents might go unrecognised because of the English language. But surely if they are exceptional students they would do the difficult thing and learn the language ? Everyone has a smartphone now ? YouTube ? There are many ways to learn it ?

This “English is oppression” stuff is just a luxury belief propagated by woke idiots who want to how everyone how virtuous they are. Poor people want to learn English- the idea that if they manage to learn or teach their children this thing - they could use it to pull themselves out of poverty- that’s actually a liberating idea because it values intelligence and hard work. Every driver, maid, cleaner, gardener I know works everyday to learn to speak English and makes sure their kids go to English medium schools. By your scheme they should suffer for their industry and should be punished for trying to do better for themselves. Their kids shouldn’t aspire to have a life of the mind where they read about the world and read authors from western countries. They should get second class degrees that help them become jobbing lawyers and nothing more.

I bet you would love to go to Oxford, Harvard, Yale , work at white and case , Mckenzie , Allen and overy, linklaters,- but not for those kids yeah ? Under all your “benevolence” they will just go to law school to work at their local district court. Because no one ever requires them to learn English.

Ambedkar said to educate , organise, agitate. He learned some ten languages in his life and wrote extensively in English. He went to Columbia and LSE with his English skills. He told Dalit people that they should embrace modernity and respectability - that they should dress in western clothes and go to school and university and get their degrees and get a good job.

What you want is something else. You think knowledge itself - even aspiring to it - the whole education system - it’s all oppression. People shouldn’t modernise because it feeds into “colonialism” and people shouldn’t be ambitious and let’s ask about farming practices in CLAT, and let’s do away with it altogether. Well- before all of this there was feudalism and nepotism. That’s the opposite of a meritocracy. You’re not on the good side here.

Small error. The matter has already been delegated to DD. The SC judge in the EC (Bengali or someone who spent time on Cal HC bench) has always been the de facto decision maker. Chancellors rarely spend independent time on SJA petitions.

DD will most definitely check the pulse with SS (who is firmly in NKC corner) and AG (KD). Will also consult discreetly with senior advocates such as JG and one of his juniors who happens to be the nephew of state law min. This particular AoR is a close buddy of Dr Sen.

Sen and LDG are bitterly opposed to you know who. So the deal is pretty much sealed in NKC's favour.

Also your "chronology" is likely to flop just like the lotus in 2021, irrespective of results on June 4. TMC will continue till 2026 and may even win with lower margins. Because even a massive exodus from TMC will not be able to compensate for the poor ground-level organisation of BJP. It's a bane that remains unresolved.

The best law and tech work in India is not happening in universities. The simple reason for that is - if you’re good at law and tech - you can find a great job doing that work as a consultant or as a researcher at any number of public policy places. More pay more flexibility- why would you bother grinding it out as a full time law professor? Maybe you’ll teach an elective now and then.

I like apar Gupta, Pranesh Prakash, Sunil Abraham, Amber Sinha, some of the folks working at Uber and meta in India are pretty sharp at this too.

Maybe you are right. But NKC is actively considering a request from MG (couched as "state gov") to open a new campus in Asansol for BBA LLB(Hons). There is some serious chatter going on that the BSc LLB(Hons) will be shifted to a campus somewhere in Nadia, likely Kalyani (due to presence of both IISER and MAKAUT).

See generally SLSP is way better than SLSN as the former has better family and and more established brand image which helps it get way better placements. However in your case I suggest that you go to SLSN as you can be a day scholar there and save some money while having the peace of mind of starting at home.

You are clearly trying to inflame and provoke so that SJA doesn't wise up. Likely you will win and SJA will lose, again.

I am not taking sides. The matter has been sent back to LCC. The "technicality' has been sorted and a full-on inquiry is expected. Whether that process will not be gamed is another debate.

For now, the SJA shouldn't have taken a "side". That doesn't mean it should have maintained status quo. Instead this matter should have been allowed to play out. SJA should have given better reasons for its no-confidence in NKC.

This was all flimsy and the "agenda" is obvious. Very pedestrian.

You have very little understanding of economics my friend. HNIs leaving is never a good idea. If per capita income is to be increased amd therefore poverty is to be decreased, we need to increase investment to GDP ratio has to increase (driven by private investments, since the government can only do so much). For that, we need citizens with capital, not jobless randos from LI. I have tried to simply this to align with your intellectual level, hope you understand

Once you work in LKS tax, your career growth is dead. Coz there are handful of tax firms for lateral movement. Plus if you are just a lawyer and not CA, the chances of moving inhouse are also negligible coz 90% of companies prefer CAs in tax teams.

I feel someone who has worked in tax, can learn and work on any other law lot faster coz tax law is one of the toughest laws to read and interpret. Yet the perception in industry is someone who works in tax is utterly useless to do anything else.

Indeed. You really should have, because you don't have any vision, and make the (very common) mistake of thinking from a short-term perspective. Feedback obtained from Legally India anonymous sources won't change that, so I can only wish you the best of luck in wallowing in your own short-termism and misery.

Agree. Previously, LI had extensively reported on how SJA had used RTIs to expose the lies of PIB relating to URC Report and later dogged pressure from SJA eventually got the "great' Lord Taluk admin to upload all the EC,FC, AC minutes and agenda notes. That was a massive treasure trove of data.

Even the SJA website had those uploaded. For reasons best known to SJA 2019-20 and its successors, they quietly accepted and supported NKC when he discontinued this practice. Now he freely manipulates and sanitizes the minutes (as alleged by the associate professor). I am told that a lot of AC and even FC matters no longer reaches the EC.

As regards the Annual Reports and Accounts....the GC meets once a year and that too just before the convocation. No one is interested to flip through the pages and its is assumed in good faith that the univ admin, including the VC, have done things right. That's how successive admins have buried embezzlement of UGC funds, inquiry reports etc.

Where is the intrepid SJA that uncovered multi-crore scams; triggered eviction of Registrar and VC despite powerful interests inside and outside EC; humbled the mighty AG (KD) and Lord Taluk into releasing EC, FC and AC records etc?

Also why hasn't the SJA ever archived the good fights?

Entry into the PhD programme in India isn't solely dependent on NET/SET. All NLUs conduct PhD entrance examinations of their own. The complainant did clear that from what I'm aware of. The VC is not the arbiter of who gets into PhD anyway. If he did that, that itself was unethical behaviour on his part and strengthens the case against him.

connections yes and im a delhi native. altho i dont wanna be dependent on the lawyer in my family too.. rest depends on results.

already spent like 1.16 lakh on preparing for this shit lmao.

i also wanna earn on the side, which might not be possible in a hectic life in pune?

besides, i heard from someone that people literally shifted from sls pune to noida. dunno how true tho

Inspired form the earlier successful thread of law and technology. Are there any good scholars in India that are dealing with armed conflicts and law ? Which NLUs have decent international law professors ?

Specially with how things are going on in the world between Ukraine-Russia, Israel -Palestine, Egypt -Ethopia etc. Obviously you'll find a lot of international relations experts from premier institutions like JNU. But what about International law ? Isn't that supposed to be our domain to talk about?

Clearly the commentator is from NUJS. The university has got several excellent women faculty like Lovely Dasgupta for contract for example. However, nobody good who directly works in law and tech. There is Paramita Dasgupta, but her field is more IP and public health laws. I agree with your comments about the use of gushing adjectives. In fact, most of the people named would probably feel embarrassed to be the subject of such adulation, anonymous or otherwise. They are good teachers, some are even excellent researchers. Shameek, Anirban, Souvik and Aman are also approachable and kind to students. That much I too vouch for.

I don't think you have any knowledge of what quality publications means. Mazumder has authored a book on database protection law that was published by Springer back when such publication used to be a big deal. He's also a great classroom teacher and I speak from experience. Guha has got one of the highest number of peer reviewed and Scopus and web of science indexed publications among all NLU faculty, including collaborative publications in tech forums and interdisciplinary conferences. Based on his posts, he is also involved in the peer review boards of some of the top journals and conference forums in his field of studies. I have got friends in various IITs working on AI and many of them have worked with him in multiple projects. So clearly you are trolling.

If there were any, they would be named. They're not and therefore they're not named. Duh ! & What's the ratio of ladies to men in hard science ? Similar is the case with law. How many ladies to you see in tax, IPR or cyber, in comparison to International law, Human rights, gender rights ? The point is simple, ladies want to work in humanity and social fields. Men want to work in logical fields. That's why you'd see a lavanya rajamani in environmental law and these NUJS men in tech law. Obviously, exceptions are there.

Multi lingual CLAT is not "inevitable" because none of the NLUs offer the degree in any language other than English. So those who want to study law in English will end up studying English at Class 11/12 level. The day MNLU starts offering BALLB in Marathi medium, things will change.

Managing Partner of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas Cyril Shroff recently called for concrete measures to open up the Indian legal market to international competition.

Unless this is done, lawyers in India would remain part of a "cottage industry" and it would be difficult for India to claim that it is a leading economy when there is no access to globalised legal services, Shroff said in an interview to ET Circle.

Shroff made the observation while responding to a question on the legal structure in India, its system and its future.

"The legal profession needs to be reformed drastically. The Chief Justice also last year, in a speech, mentioned that the legal profession today is an old boy's club. It should be open to all, but it is not. So I think three things need to be done there. One is, I think the market needs to open up. I think we need to open it up to foreign competition. It has become a joke, internationally. Every time an international lawyer sees me and talks to me - he says, 'still two years away, right?' That joke has been going on for twenty years or more," he said.

Shroff also emphasised that efforts to open the legal market in India should be transparent and fair.

"It should be done in a fair and transparent way. We had a number of botched-up attempts to open up the profession and that's not going to happen that way. It has not opened up because it has just been botched up. There is no clarity - we don't even know who is taking that decision. A committee or a commission needs to be put in place to figure it out."

On the possible ramifications of opposing efforts to globalise legal services in India, Shroff added:

"Until we open up this profession to international competition, we're still going to remain a cottage industry. I am firmly of the view that we need more competition. You can't be the top country or one of the top economies in the world without access to global legal services - you are not going to create that confidence. Today, it (legal profession) has become a protection racket, in terms of all the lawyers associations and all - it is nothing but a protection racket."

Shroff went on to suggest that the time has come to allow lawyers in India to explore the business side of the legal profession in a better way.

"I think the business model needs to be turned around. We are the only profession or industry which is forced into a partnership model. I think it is time we should be allowed to look at a corporate model. Yes it is a profession; yes, its not a business. But I think the fact is that because there is also the element of business of law, there is a need for access to capital. For example, if we were to embrace big technology, where is all that capital going to come from? Only a corporate model will allow that. Secondly, just a business model in a pure, general partnership mode is basically a cash flow. And it has become a labour arbitrage. You are not really creating more long term value. We are too small for that," he said.

While calling for a complete revamp of the legal profession, Shroff further suggested that there needs to be shift in the way a lawyer's services are valued.

"The commercial model needs to change. The core for the last hundred years has been what's called the 'hourly rate model' - you charge for time. But the question is, does that really represent the value of what you get? It doesn't. And it creates a wrong incentive - it creates an incentive that 'why don't you just take your time and multiply the number of hours so you make more money?' The philosophy has to move towards more value-based compensation and AI is going to force that. You will get an answer out of AI in a matter of seconds - how are you going to charge for that? So these three things need to fundamentally change. I think somebody should look at it and revamp this profession from top to bottom. Otherwise, I think we are headed towards a big problem," Shroff said.

In the interview, Shroff also spoke of the need to ensure that laws are well-drafted and the potential use of technology in reducing delays that clog the judicial system.

He opined that while India has a world-class, sophisticated and intellectual legal system, efforts should be made to ensure that disputes are efficiently and promptly resolved.

"I think first there needs to be a deep focus in terms of just the laws that have been written, because the problem starts with ambiguous laws and the quality of many of them leave a lot to be desired...We need to figure out how to get quick justice. I think, at least in part, technology is the answer...A lot of the judicial bandwith is clogged up by process. A lot of that process could be taken over by technology. So I think we can end up saving a lot of judicial bandwith and time if we use technology wisely," he added.

Dear lovelies of law frat,

I am a fifth-year T2 NLU student about to start an internship at AZB. Which office—Delhi, Noida, or Mumbai—would be the best choice in terms of maximizing my chances of receiving a callback? Additionally, could anyone recommend a few good partners to work with, as I want to avoid toxic environments (too much to ask)?

You seem to imply that just because she was an ISC topper, that she should have the sacred right to be a T1 NLU topper and also go on to Harvard/Oxford. Nothing could be further from the truth - 5 years at law school changes many people, and many of the school prodigies lose their way in academics

If someone is giving judiciary and his/her family member had a criminal record previously ....but he/she protested against his/her family member for doing wrong and if he/she with continous effort save someone's life will she/he eligible for becoming a judge . (he/she has a no criminal record)
