Non binary thinking posits that we define the words "woman" and "man" not by sex- but by some adherence to gender stereotypes or a gendered soul. It absolutely posits that women and men are real only if they also feel a fealty to those gender stereotypes. Sex is irrelevant as your pope Judith Butler says.

Ive not made half the assumptions youve made about me. Run away because you cannot hold your own in an argument. Rational fears about womens rights and freedoms doesnt mean that the feminist project is inherently limited. Freedom to what is the problem. Not freedom as an abstract concept.

Pick me behavior refers to women who find it easier to cater to males and their feelings to gain advantages in social settings rather than to stand up for all women. Thats what youre doing. Left wing men are still men honey- theyre just as capable of being patriarchal.

The existence of religious nuts who hate your religion doesnt surprise me. The existence of men who hate trans people doesnt surprise me. Just because those guys are against some group doesnt mean we should all join teams. Women can think for themselves and arrive at their own positions about what is best for women.

Youve never heard of it doesnt mean it hasnt happened? Please go to these trans orgs and ask about what "genital preferences" are and whether theyre transphobic? Please go to everyday feminism that cheer leaded this crap. Please google "cotton ceiling". Its not projection because its inconvenient to your world view. Why do you think Gays and Lesbians are disassociating themselves from the gender ideology movement? because if sex is not real and doesnt matter then there can be no homosexuality. Please read the people I cited- Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindel, please watch Magdalene Berns' videos. Please look up what happened to Katie Herzog. Please open your eyes and go read about the Tickle v Giggle case. Theyre literally arguing lesbians cannot have a lesbian only dating app without including male-bodied people.

Consider that youre in a media bubble. Read the cass review, read Hannah Barnes' book, read Abigail Shriers book and Helen Joyce's book. There are stories of hundreds of kids being pushed into transitioning because of gender non conforming behavior. Gay kids and Autistic kids. Watch Vaishnavi Sundar's Dysphoric if reading is too much for you.

Go to shewon.org there are hundreds of women who have had their opportunities stolen because of your movement. Go to reduxx- youll read hundreds and thousands of stories about women who have been locked in prisons or been denied same sex spaces with male bodied rapists because they claim theyre trans. Read the NHS Confederation guidelines which states that women dont have a right to same sex care.

Just because youve closed your eyes and ears to it - doesnt mean its not happening. Your ignorance of the world doesnt mean the world doesnt exist.

exactly. Thank you. The philosophy is not about hijras. Hijras are not non binary. Not by a long shot. Thats all my point is. its not my empirically grounded science survey- its by the all india hijra kalyan sabha.

If esoteric western philosophy is to be accepted in law and policy making in india- it must be on its own merits- not because theyve managed to coopt an already victimised group.

so the british you think dont save us because they did enact laws that protected women and children- but post war french philosophers who were a little too into kids- those are gods wwe should unquestioningly worship? Do you even know how to use your ▮▮▮? have you ever used it? its good for more than ▮▮▮ the ▮▮▮ you hear in gender studies classes. ▮▮▮ .

What is the update on the SH matter against the VC? The AP went to Cal HC. Just because one of her WPs is before a judge who used to be BJP member (during his time as a lawyer), this AP is being unfairly labelled as being a saffron acolyte looking to scalp VC for being TMC supportive. But the VC is known to have rainbow connections.

Relegated to the margins is a stretch. A religious cult that chooses to self isolate and can only take care of its aged and grow its numbers through dubious criminal practices seems more accurate to me. You put out links for your position in the other thread- I quoted from those very articles to explain why I think the evidence and interpretation were at odds. You never responded- the same thing is happening here. Im tired of repeating myself to someone who doesnt bother to read anything against their cognitive biases.

It doesnt have any bearing on people who claim to be non-binary. Thats what Im saying. Hijras are - mostly- not non binary. In surveys theyve conducted for themselves they define themselves as men who were castrated in horrible circumstances. This has been their story until very recently. They went to courts to stop forced castrations. So Non-Binary or trans is a different thing. I think a very western very divorced from reality idea based on bad philosophy is trying to gain a foothold and gain sympathy in this country on the backs of these poor men. It is a thing in western academia to exoticise and romanticise all things orient and to ascribe to ancient wisdom what can be ascribed to more banal and often more horrifying material realities. Hijras arent some ancient divine caste in Hinduism that proves the existence of all these new identities. Just like devadasis dont prove some ancient divine feminine role. Theyre religious cults that exploit poor people in society.

if 99% of women claimed they were being assaulted- yes- I would assume no woman could consent to sex. We do assume women cannot consent to sex under circumstances dont we? when theyre drugged or drunk or trafficked? When there are power equations or when theyre children?

For a lot of these people- castration happens when theyre children or under influence or once theyve been trafficked. Im not here to argue the edge case of someone who just likes the aesthetic and volunteers- Just like I dont argue the edge case of the woman who finds prostitution extremely rewarding and could have other jobs but chooses not to and really she gets to pick the men she has sex with and when. Thats not the case for the majority of prostituted women. When youre talking about social groups you rarely argue the edge cases. Theres obviously exceptions for anything anyone might say for any group- that doesnt mean there arent averages and there arent studies and there isnt realiable data we can generalise from.

Sucks in which parameters exactly?

Does NLIU have better qualified faculty? No

Does NLIU offer superior placements to students?No

So I'm not sure which parameter you are talking about, maybe the fees? Yes I think the fees is slightly lower in NLIU, not sure though.

Is it only me discovering some cases/papers/other reference material by effective google search; putting down key-words, some in quotes. Not saying this paid databases should not be utilized, but IDTS they can solely be relied on for research. I remember a tweet going as "search from Indian Kanoon, print from SCC".

Datta has already been nominated as the replacement of Bose in the NUJS EC. There will be a meeting in this month, where NKC will get an extension for at least two years. After that, he will be allowed by the state government to pick his successor, which will probably be one of the Dubes.

Anyone who knows your work well, likes you and is even marginally invested in your success is good to write letters for you - in most cases, someone who's taught you in law school, if you have graduated many years ago, a professional, e.g., a law firm partner, a judge whom you worked under etc. You want to ask them at least a month (sometimes two) in advance, so they have enough time to prepare and write it (I asked my professor for a recommendation letter on 15th October for an application due 10th December). Send them copies of your CV/publications so they have insights of you in front of them - they'll likely just know your classroom performance and assessment grades (in the case of law professors). Then you just input their names and contact details into the application portals of the unis you are applying for, they'll get an automated email with a link and they can follow that to upload their writing. NB: You should always include a professional address, not a personal or gmail one (therefore abc@xyzuni.ac.in, rather than abc@gmail.com). The unis can get quite fussy about it and create no end of tamasha about fraud and all.

Hi everyone

I am a young A0 at boutique law and i have been tasked with reviewing and drafting of various NDA, MSA , SHAs and other agreements.

Please suggest how I should learn to draft the Agreement. What all things should i keep in mind while reviewing or drafting the agreement?

Thank you

You should take the offer if your ultimate goal is to land up in a tier-1 firm. Almost all tier-1s have similar levels of toxicity across different teams, with some teams being more toxic than others. It mostly comes down to individual teams and experiences, so if you like your partner and team, then go for it.

My parents were very nervous whether I would clear 12th class boards in one go. So they were estatic when I got first division (I graduated from school in mid-2000s, not 1960s, FYI).

My folks didn't know that I got through to a reasonably good college (what will now be called a "Tier 1 NLU", ugh!), but they were pleasantly surprised when some people responded positively to this information.

I also got through another (much more) competitive exam / selection process than law after school. But, so much of it is luck, so don't bash yourself too much, nor gloat about any thing.

Those of you whose parents taunt you; speak with your parents and let them know that this isn't productive or healthy (for them to taunt you). Hopefully, your parents will relax in life.

The average IIT package is not 30 LPA. Which world are you living in? Do you even know that except CS and Electrical, students from other branches struggle to get placed? Do you know that in today's time irrespective of your branch you end up mastering Python, C fam langs, UX/UI, etc. if you want half a decent job?

Do you even know one IITian? Talk to one and you'll know the reality.

Take this from someone who as offered a job in Gujarat. It is a hellhole. No one wants to work there. Non Gujaratis blatantly decline relocation. Unless the Gujaratis stop being elitists and allow nveg and alcohol, no one is going to happily go there. Societies literally kick you out if they find out you have eggs?

It's all a big hoax, the "tiers" are not real. Apart from nlu kids everyone in the industry ranks teams instead of firms. So a m&a team of firm would be tier one while the firm itself is t2, likewise. Example how Anand and remfry are t1 for IP instead of trilegal or SAM.

15 lpa toh T1 bhi nahi dete bhai. Stop making the amount look rosy. It's not it. Surely, one can consider it as variable, but they don't pay the whole amount anyway. So 15lpa is not fixed, it includes variable. Even if we were to consider 15 is fixed toh variable mila ke 18-19lpa denge vo?

As far as I know, Sibal is no longer associated with INC. Don't tell that majority of lawyers/individuals do not have certain perspective/outlook/ideology. Individuals who are not vocal about their views are more dangerous then those who are. I am not advocating against reforms; however, the conversation should not be restricted to political affiliation. Instead, learning from previous incidents, there has to be a system of accountibility, checks, and balances, so that the power is not conferred on the single individual and exercise of power for personal gain leads to some sanctions. One individual must not be allowed to send unnecessary, illogical, and senseless messages to judges and other institutions in the name of bar. In other words, strictly acting within the mandate/objective should be a condition precedent to continue to remain as a president/executive of the SCBA.

all indian unis give out equivalent grade number in % if requested

uk unis know this, so if you submit your cgpa they are going to ask for % equivalence and then if you can provide a document from your uni which states that your cgpa is equivalent to 71% (which is distinction grade in the UK) then you can easily get into any top 5 uk unis

After all, a BTech will handle HR function more diligently than a law grad or MBA HR.

STEM should be valued like that only.

STEM can do any non STEM work very smoothly including law (JSD)

Non STEM would not even be able to carry out non STEM work without hand holding.

Learn how to efficiently use Manupatra and SCC. What works personally for me is I write my research proposition down and then identify the key words which I think would match with the cases present in the database. Re arranging your proposition also helps. Use the Boolean search mode as well.

Have a lot to write on this. Hope my comment gets published before the mods and trolls ruin it.

The industry standard in Litigation is 25k per month. Tier 1s offer much higher amounts ranging from 14 LPA to 18 LPA so unless you get a Tier 1 firm, monetarily, you are screwed. There are some well-known litigation boutiques but they don't offer a generous stipend either, this is again usually just 25k. Tier 2 firm may go up to 50-60k.

Also, the pay is a lot lower in Mumbai than it is in Delhi so going to Mumbai for litigation is always a bad idea because not only are you getting paid less but your also paying more for living.

One piece of advice that I would give is to avoid chambers as much as you can, keep them only as a last resort. A lot of them don't pay and even if they do, it's something around 5k-25k. The good lawyers would stretch it to 30k-40k. Most of the times, they're not looking for juniors, they're just looking for slaves who can inflate their ego. Plus, they have no dedicated HR or Admin so if you try to negotiate with them they get extremely offended.

That being said, not all chambers are bad. Tgere are some seniors who are known for being exceptionally good and many Tier 1 partners who've exited the Firm and started their own chambers can also be a good place to join. From what I've observed, it's usually the shady and obscure ones that have some sinister agenda w.r.t their juniors. If you can't find out much about the lawyer, you're applying to, it's because they don't want the world to know what they're doing so avoid them at all costs, even if the pay seems above average. And NEVER accept a bond period, in fact, get this clarified at the interview stage itself.

All in all, litigation is not a good area to make a "salary" in unless you're in a Tier 1, unfortunately. The goal should be to go independent or switch later to a non-itigation practice area.

Those links seem a little biased. The anti-semitism claim is seemingly more complicated than implied as fact - good summary here, and represents arguments on both sides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Jewish_Question

Regarding sexism, that's not backed up by either source, and case could be made he was not modern-day progressive: https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ca.collapse/feminist-questions.htm

Similar regarding racism, there are strong rebuttals online: https://jacobin.com/2022/05/marx-race-antisemitism-history-andrew-sullivan-enlightenment

It is okay, but if you have a choice between buying an iPad or a laptop I would suggest go for a laptop, the typing experience is much better and in my personal experience heavy duty reading and note taking (opening 15 pdfs + 3 ePubs+ word file and Notion) does not work well on an iPad.

We have Chandrachud (ideologically centrist liberal) till Nov 24. Then Khanna (ideologically centre-right liberal) till May 25. Then Gavai (ideologically left-liberal) till Nov 25. All these CJIs may simply delegate the matter to the senior-most Cal HC judge. That means Dipankar Datta (ideologically centre-right liberal), who will remain a judge till 2030 (and is also the ONLY Cal HC judge now in the SC). However, the CJI also has the discretion not to do so, just as Gogoi delegated the matter to RK Misra. The CJI could even himself take part in the selection.

Thus, out of Chandrachud, Khanna and Gavai, could anyone NOT delegate the matter to Datta? How about Gavai? Could the VC selection then be deferred to May/June 25?

I'm assuming of course that the TMC government will not want Datta to be involved.

A willingness to learn and excel in those skills? I know there's no substitute for hands-on training for which internships were required. I took online courses to have an understanding about basics before targeting the area where I wanted to intern under but never got any or atleast in the area where I wanted. Eventually had to settle for areas outside my area of interest and even aptitude. I know I'm not employable with my diverse internship range with most of them online. But then realistically where does one go from here? I don't think interning after graduating is a realistic possibility.. since I have seen on almost every firm's website where they ask you which year you are in etc.. they expect interns to be full time college students.
