Hahahaha!!!! Dude, you can hate the guy all you want, but this one thing is the exact opposite of him!!!! His indepth reading and research is probably why you find him arrogant - just see his arguments in Vedanta or 370 or reservations and you will know the definition of indepth

I think good leaders and managers are secure and reassured themselves. Not many women are like this, its their insecurity and g-phati that makes them good associates but being a good associate doesnt make you a good manager.

Thats a fault in firm structure that will probably never be fixed, which is why you have so many insecure, inadequate people constantly vying for validation from partners at first and then from white people, rich people when they become partners. And then perversely making up for it by bullying their underlings.

What a wild ass thread. In my experience—

Ive worked with 1 male partner who was an absolute delight. A friend, confidante, mentor and an inspiration.

1 female partner - the devil herself. 100% fit to that rich sociopath trope, with the fake laugh and the lack of recognition of others as equal human beings, the works.

2 male midlevels - one intense, one laidback. Both smart and capable and sincere with work and both very mature and calm and well spoken and not in the least toxic.

3 female midlevels - two manipulative fake ass bullies, one chill and fun one. Never felt like taking the chill one for granted, in fact worked several late nights and even all nighters on a deal with her, and looking back it was more fun than stressful. As for the other two, wish they dropped one fine day and id never have to see them again.

Calls for a sovereign nation to defend itself from Islamic terror (i know i know, same old villain in every movie) is not the same as call for genocide.

Youll realise that when the weakass country you wokes are creating is going to be ripe for the taking from all the Islamic cauldrons neighbouring us and waiting to pounce on us.

Ek baat batao. Kyun itna NLU NLU karte ho bhai? Kiske pass itna time hai?

Maan lete hai SNU becomes better than NLS (let's assume).

1. What can you do?

2. What would you as a aam middle class person would have done to change it?

Nothing. Toh in chizo pe soch ke, gossip karke, information leke ya deke, kya ho jaega. It is literally out of your control and the powers that be, do not care about your or mine or LI's opinions.

Leave SNU. Beyond your college, T1, T2 sab jae tel lene. They are not coming to feed your family no matter how many times you confirm their greatness. Apna dekho.

Okay I need some insights for my future, slaughtered my CLAT rank so baki kya options hai except JGLS(cant pay the fees), fr now applied to Symbiosis, central universities like BHU, JMI, AMU and yeah also the MH CET exam fr GLC ILS, dont know kya hoga but like any backup colleges(recomend) if i still dont make any of them?? Also 1st gen lawyer hai

My reporting partner is extremely moody and constantly bitches about all other associates in the team. In the current phase, he is behind my life and anything i do is not acceptable to him. he shouts, demeans, bitches about me to the rest of tha associates. And mind you, up until last month I was apparently the most mindblowing performer of the team. Is this behaviour normal?

What happened to the former faculty member is completely disheartening. However, there are limitations on Anti-Sexual Harassment Committees like the COGSASH at JGU. It appears that not all the facts about the incident have been released, including what evidence (if any) was provided to the COGSASH. The faculty could have also resorted to reporting the students using the F.I.R. mechanisms before the police (a police chowki is literally outside and adjacent JGU's entrance gate). While there is no doubt that resorting to criminal procedure takes its toll on the individual and their family, this case would have been appropriate to be brought before the police because it is a harassment that purely took place at work and unlike a female student, a female faculty particularly one with strong legal background and can be expected to stand for themselves and unlike students, be supported by colleagues and family. There are various colleagues at JGLS and also other lawyer colleagues at other JGU Schools (e.g., JGBS, JSGP, JSES and JSPH) who specialise in legal aid and sexual harassment cases, and would have certainly extended a helping hand pro-bono with the criminal processes. All of this is not meant to gaslight or victim-blame the faculty concerned, but as the saying goes: "God helps those, who help themselves". If faculty themselves do not stand against injustices being committed against them, then neither other colleagues nor students would feel confident in bringing perpetrators to justice. Not only do those molestors deserve to be "name and shamed" (which would have been harder absent any FIR/criminal complaint), they deserve to be tried and convicted should the allegations be established.

Furthermore, while one can extend empathy over discomfort in teaching certain topics, law is one field where BCI/UGC mandate that certain courses be taught notwithstanding student and faculty discomfort. If the Gender & Society argument is accepted, then students may go with an understanding that prostitutes are to be blamed for prostitution and not sex traffickers or pimps ; children and parents are to be blamed for child sex abuse instead of offenders ; and women are to blame for their conduct, than a rapist. This slippery slope can be extended to other courses: there was a senior faculty at JGLS who once declined to teach S. 375 and sexual offences module in IPC (Law of Crimes) classes and was educated about his obligation to teach it, notwithstanding his discomfort (discomfort comes with being a lawyer) ; a faculty teaching Company Law needs to go through deaths of whistleblowers and corporate frauds ; a faculty teaching Constitutional Law and Administrative Law needs to teach excesses during Indira Gandhi's emergency regime, including brutal deaths of political opponents. Most faculty at lower ranks do not get to choose what they want to teach: be it Jindal, be it NLSIU Bangalore, be it NUJS Kolkata ; or be it Delhi University etc. A Science Teacher in school has to teach simple anatomy and biological processes to a Class VIII-Class XII student in school, they cannot cite discomfort or disgust and not teach students about concepts like sexual intercourse, periods, primary and secondary sex organs, STIs, HIV AIDS etc.

yet, you failed.

There have been instances where JEE/NEET toppers have failed boards even though the subjects are the same for boards and JEE in contrast to how it is for CLAT.

I'm a first year at a Tier 1 firm. I work in an area where I was always interested in as a student. But now that I have done this for some time, I am wondering if I should explore alternative opportunities.

1. What are the parameters that a junior lawyer should consider while choosing a practice area?

2. What are the challenges faced by you in your experience of switching practice areas? (Recruiters these days are not receptive to candidates looking to switch practice areas)

3. Is it stupid for someone to explore when they got what they were looking for in the first job itself?

have an upcoming interview with the Securities wing of a BIG Bank, zero clue about B&F only know PE/VC in India and the Takeover Code mostly. any suggestions for what technical questions/basic conceptual clarity checks that may be asked in the techncial rounds? B&F peeps pls help with understanding basic concepts that are likely to be tested?

This is no different from any other private law school. There is an initial hype, some big names, a glitzy website, and brochures. This is no different from BITS Law Mumbai or RVU Bangalore. In 2 - 3 years all these will fade away and then you'll see the real picture. Already students complain about the falling standards at SNU Noida. You see the pattern.

As a newbie in the area looking for places that are open and have a good culture to learn. What teams should I apply to? Other than tier 1 teams there is not much information out there, how is Rajaram Legal or smaller ones like Quasar legal?
Suggestions are welcome for other cities as well.

How exactly did NLUD 'bury' NUJS? You trolls keep spewing the rhetoric but never have any concrete fact to show for it. Your placements are behind NUJS, your faculty exodus is still taking place, you have got fewer number of Rhodes during the last decade, your research score last year NIRF was actually below NUJS.

Oh, so archaic idea of keeping the batch size smaller, so that only the rich or only the few gain benefit of a system. People like you never understand the value of education and the strength it holds in expanding it to vast masses. Just if a few 100 students that too deserving are increased to the batch size, you won't be happy to know but that will augment a stronger and a broad pedigree with legal learning rather than a few snobbery rich people.

The man is absolutely right. Only 5% of the country is properly educated.

This is terrible! And see the conduct of the Jindal PR team. Normally they would flock to any post mentioning them on social media, but here despite being tagged, people who pose as faculty but in reality do only PR for the place haven't even expressed basic concern despite having been tagged in that post. Apart from this horrible incident, it is also shocking to find out that faculty in Jindal are being forced to teach electives that they have got no inclination to teach. Then what's the use of hiring people en masse at high salaries? This place is just a can of worms. People who value their jobs can't speak out and hence very few of these issues ever get discussed out in the open.

QUESTION!!!

I am starting my law school this year. I am also graduating this year. Can I start applying for internships before even getting into law school? Or should I just wait till law school starts? Ps. I am also an aspiring company secretary so I'm thinking of putting that knowledge to use as well. So it's not like I don't know anything about the field.

Hey OP! Firstly, congratulation on the offer! Two, go for it. Work in within this practice group is easily transferable to foreign market incase that's what you want.

Finally, take most opinions on LI with a pinch of salt. People here give a bad rap to certain firms/teams/practice areas for obvious purposes.

All the best!

I agree. There are times I feel compelled to 'be toxic', or haul up juniors more sharply, beacuse a mere nudge by a male partner is taken more seriously than a a clearly made request, with complete instructions, from me. This is applicable for both male and female juniors. Some female juniors, like a post below also mentions, are happier giggling for the men, than being supportive of female seniors. It's fine, if they come to a senior position, which I hope they do, they'll know what we were talking about.

Name a single graduate outcome where students from NLUD are doing better, other than UPSC, which has got little to no relevance which university you do your undergrad from. NLUD trolls keep parroting this same tune like a broken record, but never managed to prove it. You barely have any good faculty left these days and your campus, while still larger than NUJS, is way more crowded than NALSAR.

Let JGLS be comparable to the likes of HNLU. Even today, a student who gets through to HNLU does not take admission to JGLS unless they live in Delhi-NCR and wish to stay closer to home. No private university will replace or surpass any top public university in this country, because the talent goes to the public universities where they can get the same education at a fraction of the cost.

Hi,

What do you think is a tier-1? The one which is considered by rankings, the one which pays well, the one which is engaged by good clients for good transactions. - Saraf ticks all the boxes.

The only caveat is that some of their practice areas are yet to be regarded as a tier 1 by rankings. But, do not think that it cannot be called a 'tier-1' firm.

I am going to intern for the first time at a well known Tier 2 firm. And for the fast two months I have been growing a beard which is not too dense but is properly shaped.

Should I clean shave before day 1 at the firm? Or should I retain my beard?

Or can I keep a stubble beard or 5o clock shadow?

A good student does not make a good teacher.

Just because someone has achieved accolades with their sweat, blood and tears, does not mean that it will be passed down to the students as well.

Unless and until these "foreign educated" professors bring in the foreign connection and grants,.all this will be for nothing.

The reason why Jindal is doing better than Ashoka is because Jindal professors are trying to bring in their foreign connections to Jindal students. Therefore unless SNU brings those connections, a foreign degree is foreign to the Indian education system.

Also agree with the other comment. Quality of students will decide the future. For now it's not even Tier 3 in private colleges, let alone NLUs.

Prior to 2014, and for some years after, JGLS was heavily pro-Congress. Every other day there was some Congress person visiting Jindal for a talk. Shashi vbttttTharoor must have visited JGLS at least 25-30 times and President Pranab Mukherjee spoke at many Jindal events. He even hosted a Jindal event at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Even just a few years ago AM Singhvi donated 2 cr to JGLS. Also, tons of children of Congress politicians and pro-Congress lawyers studied here (also TMC, DMK etc).

However, in the past 1-2 years or so, as it’s become clear that Modi will rule till 2029 and maybe even 2034, a clear shift has taken place.

Honestly, it came as a shock because I thought DEI was an American concept. Even the mail from HR uses a lot of American jargon and speaks of “race” and gender. I don’t know how “race” discrimination is a thing in India? I thought caste and religious discrimination (which are not even mentioned in the HR’s mail) are more of an issue in India? Most importantly, I don’t know what the DEI initiative actually seeks to achieve. The mail from HR is just a big word salad which ends by saying that the firm will “strive to promote values of equity and inclusion”. Like, what does that mean in practical terms?

With this great logic, we should sign a petition to delete one of World's top MBA schools - MIT Sloan from the list of MIT's schools. Because MIT, unlike others, is a hardcore engineering school with one and only purpose - Engineering and Research. No arts, no sciences. It prides itself on being an Engineering school.

Also, the Microeconomics that people study was invented at MIT Economics dept. The whole field of Development Economics gets it's due, due to the efforts of Noble laureate Prof Abhijeet Banerjee and Prof Duflo of MIT Economics. Inko bol dete hai ki sir, MIT is meant for Engineering aap nikal lo aur resources mat use karo.

The point is not that you are a troll. The point is how can a Law student or a Lawyer (who are supposed to be better read, have better 360 knowledge of things than most), even for trolling, write shit like this? Dumb arguments which can be countered in a jiffy.

Aise kaise Kapil Sibbal ko haraiyega? Be a troll. Sure. But, at least don't be dumb. Ask GPT how I can counter this comment and reply. At least learn that.

LFMAO!!! You think Naveen has no role in the functioning of JGLS??? Are you actually from JGLS??? Bro, it was his decision to mindlessly expand the intake to make 💵💵💵. Now he has realised that a humanities-heavy college means too many woke Modi haters, so he wants an expansion in STEM only and will make Jindal Medical School the showpiece of JGU.

Another incident of sexual harassment at a law university, this time it is not a student but A FACULTY.
Imagine the audacity of preparators to sexually harass a faculty on campus. Why was she not supported by students and admins? Why was this not reported? She had to leave the campus and take lectures only due to the trauma caused. How long will rich affluent kids perpetrate crimes and get away with it? Is this the new law.

It would be very helpful if someone could provide information about ALMT Legal in Bangalore.
I am currently in my 5th year and have an internship scheduled with ALMT Legal in Bangalore, specifically with their GC team. I am aiming to secure a job through the PPO route, considering I am not from a Tier-1 Law College.
Any help and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

1. Work culture

2. Pay
