Why do you have a problem with such students undertaking long term internships? In my short career of 24 years, I have found long term internships / articleship immeasurably more beneficial and helpful to students than classroom lectures. This is perhaps due to the state of legal education in the country, the quality of faculty, money in the academic profession etc. Regardless, I and many of my equity/managing partner ilk, prefer to directly induct such long term interns/articles over a fresher from an NLU. I find the comments eulogising the relevance of academics laughable - we are hardcore commercial advocates who work to make money and glory for ourselves. Only work can give you that education. Not a classroom.

yes 21 is still young. But OP needs to understand that he will be graduating at 27 and if he does not get a great opportunity right after graduation, he will struggle a lot till the age of 30. Uncertainty and instability takes a toll on life. So he needs to decide on something asap.

If you want to remain so small and exclusive you might find that you won’t have outsized influence in public life. If you admit more people - and if those people get involved with the local community instead of treating the locals like lesser than in every city- then you might get more

Importance in public life.

The election is already won my dude. UP is irrelevant until the next 2-3 years. Tesla will most likely be set up somewhere in Maharashtra or Gujarat because of the possibility of tie ups with Ambani. Even otherwise UP is irrelevant for setting up an automotive manufacturing plant since there hardly are any such setups there when compared to Maharashtra and Gujarat. Gujarat also seems to be unlikely since it is difficult to move top talent there. So maybe Karnataka if not Maharashtra.

I'm an upcoming A0 at T1 firm. I was excited to receive an offer from the Cap Marks team but in the past few months, reading a lot of threads on LI and also interacting with a few people I feel that Cap Marks is just very overworked.

Is it the same with other practice areas in T1 firms or is Cap Marks the winner of "the worst work-life balance and zero weekends" award?

Now the legal community sis speaking out against Justice Ahsaduddin Amanullah's "rip you apart" comment.

Least of the college's concerns. Bigger concerns are:

- politicisation and TMC control

- rubbish people in the governing body (once adorned by India's top legal luminaries)

- terrible faculty who survive on grade inflation

- crumbling infrastructure

- corruption

- lack of tie-ups with good universities abroad

- losing placement opportunities to newer NLUs and JGLS

- prospects of a TMC puppet VC

- overall dilution of merit and reputation

I stand with the girl and the other protestors. The Dean's house might be a private space with First Amendment restrictions, but his lawns cannot be, especially when he is throwing a party. Also, Catherine Fisk had no justification to touch the girl and pull her shirt, be it in a public or private space. Both she and her husband should resign.

🇵🇸✊

Yep

Assuming he died unmarried, intestate, and without any other heirs

Seek partition of dead brother's undivided share (assuming that the proceedings in relation to father's Will not already initiated.)

Also, see even father's will to be probated, if he died in or some property is located in the (former) presidency towns

I know of a subreddit "legaladviceindia" , the purpose9f which is clear from its name. However, the dedicated subreddit for legal professionals, if available, will definitely go lengths to solve the "Bumps" we suffer

(Note: Not shading on the ones commenting for bumping of the thread, but answers is what everyone, including those bumping the threads actually want

Recently visited there for a conference and honestly the school gives a kind of unsettling feeling.

The admin is kind of authoritative, the students and staff are treated like shit, and the community feeling is kind of gone. Not blaming the admin or anyone per se, I think a number of factors including the pandemic etc are to blame (read between the lines).

Students seem disinterested and disillusioned at best, maybe because of the shitty treatment they get from the admin. Faculties act like they owe their lives to the administration; even the pretense of independence is gone. The research scenario is grim at best: I haven't encountered any quality work coming out even from the senior professors in recent years.

They pride over the IIT Kharagpur brand, but don't realise IIT Kharagpur itself is losing ground to other IITs nowadays.

The moderation speed is something I can understand, but the level of moderation especially for a site meant for lawyers is unacceptable.

All the posts which actually matter are never published and neither are the comments which criticise anyone even in the slightest. All that's left is nlu d|ck measuring contests.

India is a free country, and people should be able to name and shame shitty seniors who are abusive. In the era of cancle culture, why are law firms excluded, why do they get to have their way when literally every company/employer out there is held accountable for their actions.

I mean good?

But most of the markers come off because Jindal is a full-fledged university with more than 10 colleges in its fold. NLUs on the other hand just have law and some colleges with the management department now. So on many of the fronts that these NLUs would be competing with are potentially not as large as the Jindal which is a university for humanities and law....

So, sure but this is actually not a fair comparison.

- No party gives tickets to any NLU BALLB alumni.

- No party manifesto discusses nationalising NLUs, or even improving NLUs

- No politician is visiting NLUs for campaigning, or for a Q&A with students

- No politicians retweeting NLU social media influencers

Just so depressing to see that we don't matter. 😢

1. JGLS #1 for 5 years in a row:NLU reaction: 😠

2. Has IOE status

NLU reaction: 😖

3. Has a large number of students placed in T1 firms ,doing LLMs abroad and working abroad

NLU reaction: 😤

4. Naveen Jindal has joined the BJP and the college has taken a pro-Modi turn ideologically

NLU reaction: 😾😡🤬

LI is no longer an efficient platform, the moderation is extremely slow and most of it these days is just pointless political arguments and NLU students' d!ck-waving. Maybe we could have a reddit subreddit as an alternative, something similar to what coders and developers have on reddit to discuss jobs, salaries and opportunities. I do believe there are many genuine people with actual problems who don't have anyone to consult other than this forum but the serious questions over here never get a response. At best, they will get "bump"s.

Should I be the silent, strict, no-nonsense kind or the bat shit crazy genius unpredictable kind ? As a young assistant professor I always wonder which kind students prefer ? The strict ones are great to keep a distinction between professional and personal life. However the crazy weird ones are interesting.

Everyone, till the time they're associated with academia thinks they're left wing, yet when they graduate & have to fend for themselves turn right wing. It's proven that socially left is better, economically right. So if you want to survive in this hyper capitalistic world you will have to be RW. It's all about the money. For example, The reason JNU students is left wing is because money is not an issue with low fees and low rent. Therefore students can focus completely on increasing knowledge, intellectual discussions and focusing more on academic performance. They become used to living with minimum resources. In the other hand, NLU students live off their parents in university, and that's why they initially don't feel the pinch, however once they graduate they find it difficult to live with minimum resources and therefore they opt for high paying jobs, and high paying jobs in law usually means being a corporate b!tch. If NLU students were actually leftist you would see more of them join litigation and NGOs, however they don't since they know they'll be paid less and won't be able to live in luxury. Therefore if you want to see true leftist, go to JNU, those are the people who will geniunely fight for the cause even after graduating as they know life is not about luxury. In the other hand, you will see only a handful of NLU kids who actually practice left oriented outlook in reality post graduation.

It's the reason why left is now only reduced to academia, research and theory. In reality everyone wants to run the rat race and live luxuriously, thus entwining their fate with corporate culture to buy that new shiny life.

Don't worry about these trolls. These ▮▮▮ don't understand the ground reality. Especially how screwed the batch of 2024 was. I got placed at the highest paying firm in this country. And I'll tell you that a good part of it (if not all, can't discredit the hardwork I put in its entirety), was opportunity, luck, and privilege. You can still make it. Have faith in yourself and hustle hard.

Less than 50% work can be replaced by AI. There are unique real world situations are to be dealt with. The way weak AI is growing and its experiments dont give much hope for a super AI. Super AI is basically scifi at this point. Until that happens noone is being replaced unless they are literal clerks doing formatting and spell check

Justice Katju's attack on the inanity of Dhruv Rathee
=====================================================

https://www.hastakshepnews.com/2024/04/justice-katjus-attack-on-inanity-of.html

Study law if you like, finish it, see if you even like it, for goodness sakes don’t quit your government job to study. And working in a law firm is not a bed of roses or even a direct input output function of hours worked and money earned. You have to work all day and night as a junior, and later on have to bring in business, else you’re fired. And that’s guaranteed. You WILL need to either bring in or execute a fixed Monetary value in the crores at any T1. If you can’t, forget about it.

This is why UPSC needs to revamp things and cut attempts down to 2. So that people don't waste years of their lives.

They can introduce lateral entry after the age of 40 so that people can go get experience elsewhere and then try again for civil services. Win win for all.

The named Managing Partner appears to be running the shop like a personal fiefdom, completely junking all the professionalism crap which he used as a ploy to break Luthra. ▮▮▮. Anyone from the Firm that can confirm this rumour?

Further I have heard that contrary to the noise that has been created, no actual equity has been opened at the Firm ▮▮▮ What a joke, considering he fought with RKL precisely on this issue!

(KIAN, show some guts and let this be published! As you aware, Truth is always an unbeatable defence)

No political background. As someone else pointed out he's a graduate from NLS and went to Bishop Cottons which is one of Bangalore's poshest schools. He has made good use of those networks. Of course he is also an excellent speaker with great clarity of argument - both inside and outside court.
