How is the political situation at NLS? I presume that it is generally left-wing. Is democratic socialism in vogue there, or is Marxism the popular ideology? Lastly, is Classical Liberalism, especially the Locke-Harrington version, which I believe in, socially acceptable or not?

Before deciding this please compare the placement statistics or nluo and rgnul, both of them are available on their websites for the batch of 24. You can chose rgnul if u wanna pursue judiciary, but if otherwise, Please go for NLU Orissa and Don't prioritise nlu Patiala for location, infra or anything because the placements and faculty at nluo over weigh rgnul. Distance and everything won't matter when you will be struggling for jobs and decent facilities in the end.

I don't have any idea about DU

1. Rule of Law, and making agencies such as CBI, ED, ECI, SEBI, EBI etc., truly independent of the executive/government;

2. Make Rupee fully convertible and dilute FEMA, and make genuine efforts to increase ease of business and make government interactions face-less/online;

3. Increase remuneration of and facilities for lower judiciary and police (non-IPS cadre) to attract better qualified people;

4. Implement next gen Agri reforms, build cold storage/storage silos, increase MSP, increase use of tech/facilitate land pooling for agri etc.

5. Improve Government Schools and Colleges, and focus on technical/vocational education.

This absolutely stupid thread by a 2nd year kid who thinks he is so smart has got responses from so many people who are enjoying showing him his place.

But another thread where an incoming A0 is seeking inputs to be a better lawyer has barely any serious responses. God help humanity.

1. Make 'Law' a business activity (in addition to being a noble profession), i.e. permit loans, commercialisation, advertising, 100% FDI (49% automatic route; 51% govt route, if govt wanna begin conservatively), etc.

2. NJAC or IJS or something to ensure collegium system goes away. While I am sure political appointment of higher judiciary will have its drawbacks and shortcomings, some even very very very concerning (see our police forces for example), however, there will be some accountability. I can atleast vote out my MLA/MP if I see (perceive) a corrupt judge in my HC/SC.

The qualities you have mentioned are literally what are required to be successful in law firms. I wish my seniors possessed those qualities. The work in law firms is generally quite mundane, pick any Team. They are tackling the same issues with different clients and once you can get a grasp of those issues, you will generally do well. It is these soft qualities (as one might describe them), that make people stand out and build good relationships within the firm.

It’s not just grade inflation. Evaluation patterns at Jgls are wild. For core courses what 50% is the final exam ? And finals you get 10 questions - one from each different module and you only have to answer 5. So presumably you can only learn 50% of the course outline but as long as you do it in an okay fashion - you could top. You could only read 2 or 3 modules for any course and easily pass the final.

The internal assessments - the bad teachers are happy to give out grades for good tlfqs and the good ones are scared they’ll lose their jobs so they’ll give out good tlfqs too.

And if all of that isn’t enough and you still don’t get good grades, you can sandbag it take the course again as a repeat student and have 100% of your grade come to a final and - as we know the finals are incredibly easy to get really good grades in. Read 4 modules and you can get like 80%.

There isn’t a cap on how many repeats you can take and how many times.

This isn’t just regular run of the mill grade inflation- this is corruption. It’s cash for grades and the whole institution is built on this.

The parents who pay the fees are happy because they think they’re kids are learning a lot - in fact they’re being lied to.

I wouldn’t trust a Jgls diploma as far as I could throw it.

Downvoted because of free 5K to farmers. These people pay no income tax and get tons of freebies. Sorry, no further lollipops for farmers. Rather, I would pay farmers to movie out of agriculture and into industrial jobs. Industrialisation will lead to better social, economic and educational outcomes for them and will also reduce population.

Re "INFRA development in tier 3 cities", this is crucial, because we need to stop migration into big cities and this can only be done by creating opportunities in smaller cities.

Re "Bihar, WB, Punjab to start industrialising their states" that is incumbent on the state governments, not Modi.

Oh, really? Nobody has a problem with the seats increase in good colleges but rather the fees increasing every year. FROM this year (2024), NLS has increased its fees for all its programs which will make only the rich ppl in majority there like it is in the case of Jindal. I think the NLSIU is a Jindal in the making discussion thread is necessary, considering that they started international students intake from this year(2024) as well, reserving 6 seats for international students out of those 120 seats (conducting a separate exam for them which has taken place online, I doubt if the selected candidates will be of the same calibre of those students who cleared NLSAT-2024 ALL INDIA and who knows they might increase the number of seats if it becomes a popular choice for the NRIs and OCIs since western education is increasing their universities fees every year.

Capital markets goes hand in hand with companies act, lodr, icd, etc. That's the basics one should be knowing. After a while it's basic knowledge.

In my above message it came out as CM has no applicability of law, what I meant is it's the same with every other practice area except disputes. So it's not true that there is no applicability of law. Moreover, CM is not everyone's cup of tea. The area can be burdensome for the ones who do not understand companies law their rules, regulations, icdr and lodr.

He is my constituency

Analysis:

In 2019,

TMC got 5.7 lakh

BJP 4.7 lakh

CPIM 1.2 lakh

Considered safe seat for TMC with a lot of Muslim vote

But if 10% of TMC vote shifts to BJP and CPIM continues its tradition of losing voteshare BJP is in play

Sabyasachi da can only play an important role by failing to attract votes

Just a question, but isn't the punishment intended for the purpose of reforming the society and making sure that the individual does not do it again? Although some severe alternatives are applied in extraordinary cases but this act seems to me an act of negligence by a juvenile. Some might argue that this is not justice, isn't it justice for the society if we don't tear up the life of a young man who unintendly crashed on some folks in a motorcycle without helmet?

I'm aware that this opinion would attract a lot of hate but I'm interested to know how do you guys see it?

His father who owns the car has been arrested under section 199A of the MV Act: https://punemirror.com/pune/crime/pune-case-registered-against-vishal-agrawal-for-allowing-underage-driving/cid1716209901.htm

Legal action also being taken against the pub where he was served alcohol despite being a minor. I hope all these pubs have their license cancelled.

I do have 30-35 days of leave. What am I going to do if not attend my sister's wedding with those pending leaves. I need a 2 week (1+1) leave for engagement and wedding to go to my hometown.

Is this too much to ask for during probation?

Genuine replies only. Thank you.

But don't you think that no applicability of law is what makes you dumb? And that's why once you are into it, it's hard to exit because you lose touch with the applicability of law. Other practice area may have similar long hours but at least there would be some application of mind rather than blindly doing the clerical work.

I don't think switching would be a sound decision. I'm an A2, and people kept telling me not to join the CM team due to long work hours. Tbh it's the same in every other field. Other than this, there is no applicability of law... Same goes for other teams where they have no authority to make decisions based on the law, it's handed over to them by the partners.

I find it exiting to have my names in the deals of ipo which increases my brand value. I feel proud doing it.

My list -

1) Minimum of 5K per month help to Farmers and allied sector labourers.

2) Minimum wage of labourer to be set at 500 RS per day for 8 hours of work. Over time should be like 100rs for 1 hour.

3) No tax or less than 5% tax on essential items such as Rice, Wheat, Dal, Green Vegetables, Potato, Sugar, Jaggery , Oil, Basic Spices etc.

4) Atleast 1 Lakhs of tree plantation in every district of country. Also, 80%+ growing them to full potential.

5) Providing sex education, moral and ethical education classes to middle school and high school students for better character development.

Hi. I joined a rather well-known law firm in March and now I am planning to leave the place due to personal reasons that I dont wish to discuss here, or with any recruiter in future interviews.

What are some acceptable reasons for leaving which I can tell the next recruiter/ interviewer without fear of negative consequences?

This! This is the exact reason why firms don't hire from JGLS. The grade inflation is so much that it's difficult to differentiate between a good and a bad student. People studying 1 day before the exam fail in NLS while in JGLS they get a 7/8. Getting a 6/7 CGPA in NLS will put you in the top 2-3% of the batch.

Multiple factors at play here but start with this: start working with the team and give the practice area a fair shot, without any biases - what may not have worked out for other people may work for you. There is a steep learning curve in capmarks, so brace for impact for the first few months but it does get easier afterwards. If after 8-9 months of working in capmarks, you do find yourself hating it, then start looking out. You have two options here, depending on the organisation you’re currently working with: a) internal shift. This depends on your partner and firm policies but I have witnessed examples of people switching practice areas within the same firm. b) go to another firm. This isnt the easiest thing to do, but people do it and at your level it wouldnt be too difficult to convince the hiring partner to hire you, if your concepts are clear and you do a good job during interviews. You will most likely have to work as an A0 again since most firms discount experience if a candidate is switching practice area, but in the longer run, if you really want to get out of capmarks, this is a fair bargain.
