it seems that cap marks is one. please give suggestions regarding which practice areas are generally hiring in the upcoming year. would really help those of us who are graduating soon and navigating this process entirely on our own. and yes, I know picking based on interest and skillset etc is more important but I'd just like to be able to eat first

This is being discussed on social media as well. The logic is simple. The rich and middle-class, who are the BJP’s core voters and predominantly upper caste, will stay at home because they won’t be able to bear the heat. But the poor will turn out in huge numbers as they always do. No doubt many poor people will vote for the BJP, but a sizeable percentage of the poor are lower castes and Muslims, who are traditionally not BJP voters. Their combined vote could swing enough seats in favour of the opposition parties and make Modi lose.

Hi! I am a third year student and this is my first time in Mumbai/Maharashtra. Please PLEASE HELP me find an accommodation in the lower parel area near One World.

I want a single room with AC as I have heard Mumbai is very hot and humid in June. Incan spend up to 50k on rent (including deposit). I do not want to take cabs or local for daily commute so would prefer being as near as possible. However if I don't find anything I good, I am also fine with a 10 km radius. PLEASE HELP! I know lots of you must have already stayed there as most law firms are in the area. I am very overwhelmed with talking to brokers and need a tried and tested place. Thank you!!

Absolutely right,I agree and that is the reason the matter should be referred to the ICC and this VC should be asked to temporarily step down till the inquiry is over.

The EC of NUJS should take a call on this matter. In any case now the case has gone to the Calcutta high court at Kolkata. Just wait and watch what the court does on this issue.

so the thing is that im a really good student but i messed up my clat exam because i was in a bad mental state due to family issues and stuff

now i have to take admission in some random college, probably amity noida

im preferring it because udhar exposure and social life is good and some people said the curriculum is good and stuff

now say i study there for five years and after that while entering the job market, what things can i do to make myself stand out from other students from nlus and other top colleges

ps im aiming for litigation

any tips about this situation would be really helpful

Keep in mind that I’m not an associate yet or a working professional but I interned with the team and they’re extremely rude and toxic people. I went on to better internships at other Tier 1 firms and every internship I’ve had after that pleasantly surprised me in how their toxicity paled in comparison to these associates (and I’ve worked at some of those most notorious teams in AZB and Khaitan).

Complete lack of communication, unreasonable deadlines, the associates were always on a power trip and overworked me. It did prepare me for later internships because everything paled in comparison but I never had these problems in any of the later teams I worked with.

In fact, Nestle does hire AMS to represent them!

Agree. These ▮▮▮ should literally be ▮▮▮ for poisoning babies with sugar and harmful chemicals, while packaging it as health food. And these ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ don't do that in Europe!! But adults should also be careful. Take Maggi. It's complete toxic poison, especially the masala. Our mothers were wrong to give it to us as kids and we are wrong to continue having it.

I saw another post today where someone compared Australians Kit Kat with Indians Kit Kat. The Aussie Kit Kat has 1/4 coco, while the Indian Kit Kat has very little cocoa and is packed with sugar instead. I have had foreign Kit Kat and you can clearly tell the difference.

Statement from Nestle:

"We would like to assure you that our Infant Cereal products, are manufactured to ensure the appropriate delivery of nutritional requirements such as Protein, Carbohydrates, Vitamins, Minerals, Iron etc. for early childhood. We never compromise and will never compromise on the nutritional quality of our products. We constantly leverage our extensive Global Research and Development network to enhance the nutritional profile of our products."

Looks to me that the Legally India team has become damn paranoid about moderation after Slapgate.

Most threads asking about the reality of pay structures and work culture are empty because the team conveniently marks everything as trollish refuses to publish anything negative anymore.

It’s the dumbest thing ever. Block out names if you want but you can’t mark everything as trollish and not post a majority of comments. The entire purpose of people asking questions here is defeated if you’re only selectively posting positive responses because you’re too afraid to post the negative responses.

Under the Food Safety and Standards (Foods for Infant Nutrition) Regulations, 2019 you can refer to regulation 11 (1) ,which pertains to composition of baby food.

Under this regulations, reference is made to the term "traditional food". The same is defined under regulation 2(c) as

"“Food for infants based on traditional food ingredients” are products known to

be prepared traditionally at home for feeding infants, but processed and provided in

packaged forms, after six months up to twenty-four months of age".

Now any baby food that is marketed by any company, is prescribed after 6 months of the baby's birth.

What is important to note is that certain ingredients have been included into the defination by virtue of regulation 11.

By looking at the said regulations namely R.11(1) read with R.2(c), we get a clear picture as to what is traditional food and what does it constitute.

At this juncture, it is fruitful to observe Regulation 11(4) that stipulates a non-exhaustive list of the following ingredients

"(4) Explanatory note: A non-exhaustive examples of foods for infants based on

traditional foods are:

(a) Cooked lentils, cereals, dry fruits, grains mashed to a pasty form, sweetened

with sugar or jaggery or honey ;

(b) Cooked vegetables mashed to a pasty form either sweetened or with little ghee;

(c) Ragi malt mix;

(d) Semolina or sooji based foods with either milk or curd or ghee".

Hence, not only does the it means that the ingredient in question is not only complient with regulatory norms but also is within the confines of traditional food adopted by the subcontinent.

Ps not from Nestle or anything, just have interest in food sciences.

dont be fixated on the magic circle thing, these terms were coined in circa 2005 when these firms were making way more money than hsf, ashurst etc. nowadays, most firms pay the same at NQ level, people can even do their TC at firms like BCLP and move to kirkland after 2 years. there is very little info on this topic on LI despite so many threads.

It is definitely outdated. Sibal tried to change things and got bashed for skewing things in favour of the "urban, elite, privileged groups". People argue that the changes would disadvantage those from a rural background whenever they try to change. Thus, the rot continues.

Welcome to India! where mediocrity is rewarded, and ambition and competence are punished. No wonder there was so much controversy around Sanjeev Sanyal's comment.

It's the first national election where students our generation will be voting. What are y'all thinking?

In my case:

- Voting for INDIA candidate (Kanhaiya Kumar of Congress in my constituency)

- Hoping that the INDIA alliance crosses majority easily, with Congress as the largest party and Rahul Gandhi as PM and Arvind Kejriwal as Deputy PM

- Hoping for Congress to deliver its promise of redistribution of wealth and LGBTQIA+ marriage.

- Fearing that BJP may win and get a large majority

- Fearing that BJP will impose a right-wing agenda of capitalism and Hindutva

Nobody knows RRU.

Don't be misguided or misguide others.

For PhD in Law:

You have good central and state universities like:

DU

JNU

BHU

AMU

Jamia

South Asian University

ILI Delhi

Pune Univ

Mumbai University

GGSIP University Delhi

You have established NLUs like

NLS Bangalore

NALSAR Hyd

NLU Delhi

NUJS Kolkata

GNLU, etc.

You have IIT Kharagpur if area is IP Law.

You have few good private universities:

Jindal Global University

Symbiosis Pune

Christ/ Nirma etc.

You can think RRU or NFSU only if you don't get admission in any of the above

And as usual, the SJA won't do anything to tell the higher authorities what a mess he has created in the last five years of his tenure. Which is why not a single faculty member other than his acolytes nor a single student will speak well of him or support his extension. But that's NUJS for you. The days of student activism is over.

lateral hires miss the most imp part which is the training in the training contract, starting in a jursidiction from scratch is something else , the average age of a trainee at these firms in 29. indian folks with 2pqe think they're too smart to do a TC. these firms spend upwards of 250k gbp on training you so if can, apply for the tc mate

Yes, irrespective of how the TMC does, they will want to keep him in the chair as possible, which means at least will 2026. But let’s see how the election results go. If the BJP gets 30 or more seats in Bengal, all even 25 to 30, then all bets are off and the TMC could be wiped out of existence via the ED and CBI. This is a one-state party, remember.

I want to go into academia. I already have an LLM and will be giving the NET this June. Money is not the issue, but the nepotism and bootlicking in academia. I can't do this as I am an introvert that doesn't like buttering people. Moreover, I am not a topper and just an average student, so I know it won't be easy to get jobs. Should I join ? Or should I go to courts since I'm a first gen, the grind would be similar. Again it's not about the money, I want to do something I'm passionate about.

Colonial this and colonial that is just an excuse of the modern day incompetence. Majority of Colonies have or will be independent for 50 years now, yet they keep blaming the colonial system, instead of focusing on modern day problems. But then again, people love being and playing the victim card. So it won't happen. Absolutely hate this colonial discourse.

BS. Jindal outweighs most of them. Also what PhD from abroad are you taking about "bruh" ? Go and do a thorough research and tell me how many so called foreign PhDs does NLS have ? Most of them don't even have a PhD or are pursuing from NLS, NALSAR, NLUD themselves. Also an LLM means nothing in teaching when you have a PhD as a minimum requirement.

Gourab Banerji is great to work for. But it is a 7 day working office, from 9:30 am to 8:30 pm and sometimes late night. Of course you will learn a lot and be exposed to great cases. But other than the long working hours he is a pleasure to work with.

Apart from him, I have heard good things about Meenakshi Arora, Siddharth Dave, etc.

Who told you an SC judge is more powerful that your DM/ DC? On paper sure, and in the procedure books too. An administrative order must reach in appeal/ suo Moto rarely/ PIL which with reasoning can be reversed by the SC only when found perverse. Even here judges must mostly side with the govt.

A DM can literally start mass projects, get you detained immediately, order investigations in any matter, stop and start ANYTHING in his or her district. On and off the paper. Like ANYTHING

A Bangalore partner from an old T1 firm: will you react if you see your partner in a bad mood after a long day?

Me: sir, can you please explain the question, again?

P: outside the team... on social media...

Me: .... nervous

P: smiles

..... silence....

HR: moving on, what is your location prefrence?

It depends on the advocate and has to be negotiated when engaging them. Negotiations include differential fees for effective and non-effective appearances. I don't know anyone who charges per hearing who would appear for free on short/non-substantive/non-effective hearings, unless an adjournment is sought because of their own reasons. You should be able to find advocates who charge a consolidated fee for drafting and hearings, if cost is a big concern. That said, 15k is not unusual for a good advocate with 10-12 years experience.

I have got a job in T1 with my internship and a decent gpa. I may or may not work there for long. My publications have been in some random websites which tbh are not worth mentioning in CV. Should I work on publication at the fag end of college to get atleast one decent publication or while working in T1 if I wanna switch to Inhouse.
