Could someone explain why Dr. Adish C. Aggarwala, the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association is petitioning the CJI and President of India to set aside the portion of the judgment that directs the ECI to publish the bond purchasers? Is there any way in which I, as a member of the bar, could petition him to shut the F up?

Are any law schools inviting politicians to interact with students on campus?

Are people volunteering for political parties, perhaps as part of their summer internships? I believe a few NLU volunteers have been hired by the IT cells of BJP, Congress and TMC?

Any goss on NLU alumni getting election tickets?

Finally, who are most people supporting?

What terrible advice! Obviously go for Jindal. The placements are better for the top and you are likely to be at the top as you are a scholarship student. Proximity to DelHi is an added advantage. And much better campus obvs.

Let me put it another way: SP Jain or IIM Sambhalpur? Obvs SP Jain!

I have been working in the trademark prosecution team for over a year at a firm in Delhi. The raise season is around the corner and I believe I deserve a good raise, however the firm standards of giving a raise are low. Therefore, I want to know what is the range for raise percentage or amount in the market right now so that I can ask for a raise with an actual data from the market.

Can someone please confirm if this number will be true for freshers to be joining in July, 2024 in Disputes? I don't know if it is a rumour, but I also heard much less than this from a friend who interned there in the past and claims to have obtained the number from an associate.

TMPL Consultants which is run by Bhargava sisters are the Best Recruiters.Most of the candidates are placed by them and they are Top Legal Recruiters.

Other Recruiters are ghosting the candidates and dont even respond to them.

Bhargava sisters are available for their candidates on the weekends as well. They are very helpful and are always there to guide and support their candidates.

she is unapproachable, has unrealistic expectations and focuses more on getting the deal at any cost which comes at the cost of sanity. Also DCM as a practice is too niche and switching firms maybe a big problem since only JSA and TTA have half decent work (along with SNG and Juris Corp picking up in the mid sized segment). Since MS focuses solely on DCM, try to work with Partners who will expose you to general banking work along with a bit of infra financing and restructuring. Your best pick should be Rahul from KCO, Mumbai or Tirthankar from JSA, Mumbai for a broad scope of good quality work.

KPMG is the partner providing expertise in digital forensics. This deal shows the potential of digital forensics, and more will come. NFSU will be a direct beneficiary of such initiatives.

All those who are interested in finding my identity, here, I am 4th year student, in NUJS (and please dont think I said the real numbers of my rank also). Dont have a PPO yet. I am not scared of "outing" my identity, I just blotched the numbers so that nobody approaches me, as I am a kind of a loner. Our college has been amidst several issues with internal viva related pushbacks. Either way, I am messed up in life rn, if anyone has any relevant advice, it would be great !

Absolutely not! Even if you do these in your second year it’s fine. Maybe from the third year you can start with the ‘serious’ internships. People get job offers on the basis of one internship too. It’s just about being a fit in the place. Nobody cares about your internships in the first year.

During the pitch Anupam said lawyers rarely come on the show. All the judges also initially struggled to understand their service in question and were sceptical. It just shows how dumb and uninformed they are. I'm pretty sure they spend as little as possible on legal costs and give work to cheap-ass firms. It's high time lawyers take on these BTech-MBA bros and get into entrepreneurship. They'll do a much better job. NLU grads have higher EQ than IIT-IIM grads.

NLSIU B.A LLB student here. I honestly think that if you get into the top IIMs (Bangalore or Calcutta), you should go for their MBA blindly. They are a class apart, and even if you do not get into a Big 4 firm (which is not the end of the world, by the way), you will still have a much better career and earnings than anyone at any law firm apart from the T1s. If you get into any of the other top IIMs, I would still recommend that you do an MBA there, apart from maybe IIM Indore, as they also have an IPM program whose students secure around 75% of the top placements there. (I know this because last year, I had secured admission to the IPM program there but left it for NLSIU, and have many of my friends enrolled there.)

Unless you have good contacts at a very high level, T1 law firms are unlikely to recruit 3-year LLB students, as they have 5-year LLB students readily available. Additionally, you mentioned that you suffer from anxiety, which could affect your performance at the T1 law firms, known for their ultra-high-pressure work culture. Do not hedge your hopes on getting a campus placement at McKinsey or EY at NLSIU (provided you secure admission here), as both these firms recruit only 3 or 4 people combined each year at NLS.

I do not know much about DU’s Faculty of Law, but I can comment on GLC Mumbai. If you want to do law, then I would suggest that you try your best for NLSIU and only take up GLC as the last possible option. In GLC, the basic meta is to intern your ass off for 3 years and hope to strike a PPO. The problem with this is that, again, you shall have to compete against 5-year BA LLB people who will have more time to intern compared to you. Also, please note that T1.5 to T2 law firms are not at all as remunerative as compared to the T1.5 to T2 recruiters at the top IIMs.

In conclusion, I suggest you do the MBA and work on overcoming your challenges instead of going for a 3-year LLB, as the harsh reality is that relatively few people have had success in law with only a 3-year LLB in recent times. Litigation is, of course, a totally different story altogether.

Hope this helps.

Am an ADHDer at a tier 1 B School, ex T3 NLU. You don't need to be extremely great with numbers unless you want to major in Fin, and realistically, a fresher is gonna get into something like Mktng/GenMan anyways. No one has an inherent aptitude for anything tbf (most folks I know here are "fake it till ya make it" at this point) plus I thought I would enjoy a law firm job but turned down an offer and join a B School the very next year because of the kind of repetitive mundane tasks junior associates are expected to perform. Plus, as a top B School grad, you have a legitimate expectation of being treated with atleast a certain modicum of dignity, while even you were a NLS grad, you might routinely face toxicity at workplace. Hope this helps!

An EB by itself doesn't mean corruption, a quid pro quo does.

Matching of donors with recipients is one of the first step in trying to establish quid pro quo, the other being if such entities were shell companies and thereafter establishing their source of fund can reveal a lot.

Also, the major flak is being received by BJP cause not only are they the major recipients of the donations through EB but also cause they brought in this highly opaque mechanism of donation. They also removed all safeguards to corporate donation mechanism such as limiting donation by linking them with profit.

The proponents of "now back to black money/ under the table mechanism" must understand this mechanism existed before EB during EB and even after EB. EB in no ways limited black money on the other hand it encouraged funneling of money either as quid pro quo or through laundering while giving the protection of anonymity which was absent in the pre-EB regime (read qua public scrutiny).

Yes. I think it does help. Its not an auto accept if you are from a T1 nor an auto reject if youre not. But im glad I went to the law school I did because it opened doors for me. Two of my professors at law school were heavy hitters whose recommendation letters were difficult to obtain but persuasive to admissions committees. I got both of them. One of them specifically took me under his wing and got me my first job. There I earned three more recommendations from NLU Alumni who went Oxbridge and Ivy schools for their advanced degrees. Not to mention all the mentorship, these people took the time to talk to me about my research projects and taught me difficult things and read over my applications and my cv and gave me advice on application strategy. I worked with them in classrooms and in research projects so I learned what it was to write a paper or to teach a class. I wasnt sure about applying the year I did- but because the profs encouraged me I did apply, and I went to an Ivy too.

I didnt moot at all in law school, I had two good papers, and two years of academic experience. I had a fairly middling GPA but basically five LORs and a lot of work as a researcher and in a junior academic position. And I got money from the university that took me. And now profs from the Ivy write me LORs.

Its just hard to get that kind of mentorship in the newer NLUs. Its also hard to get professors who will recognise potential and invest in their students and bother to teach them in a rigorous ways. Its harder- but its not impossible. If you arent going to- NLS or NUJS or NLUD right now (NALSAR Im leaving out because Sid Chauhan is leaving and Dhanda is emeritus- i dont know others who are as good as they are in that university)- you have to work extra hard to get access to all of this. You cannot afford to slack off the way I did because the alumni network wont be there to catch you. And yes some of your education might be lacking. Demand better professors and dont run away from work. Get good people to come and offer electives, protest your VCs to make sure they hire good people. all of that pays off.

While I find myself in partial accord with your sentiment, I must confess a lingering suspicion that your worldview possesses a certain... operatic quality, reminiscent perhaps of a Regency romance novel. Undoubtedly, crafting prose imbued with flair, wit, and humor is entirely within my capacity, given the luxury of a focused subject and a more generous timeframe. However, the dynamic at play within this particular forum is characterized by a more informal exchange. Here, participants engage in a rapid-fire exchange of ideas, prioritizing brevity to ensure their thoughts are captured before the discourse shifts. Hundreds of messages cascade through the platform during peak periods, a whirlwind of fleeting observations. Therefore, if your objective is to hone the art of conversational writing rich in nuance and emotional depth, I would respectfully suggest delving into the wellspring of classic literature. Our "non-classy" group, as you so colorfully termed it, can surprisingly yield a bounty of exemplary works in this regard. In all honesty, your own writing style possesses a distinct personality, a curious blend, one might say, of South Delhi's Shanaya and Pamila alias Pammy aunty of West Delhi.

t-1 nlu; my ultimate aim is for a career in corporate law, but im also interested/passionate about wildlife rights/animal law, etc.

will it look odd on my cv if i intern at these organisations just for my first year? will it impede my chances of getting a subsequent corporate law internship ?

or will employers be more keen and see me as someone who is "serious about their passion" as cliche as it sounds?

also, if you know of any opportunities for internships centred around wildlife/animal law, please do post.

nobody joins a whatsapp gc to be mature or make sense. essentially we separate formality from a gc and it helps us bond as a batch. if you have so many problems with it I encourage you to leave so that you aren't personally affected. furthermore there is a level of understanding within the group members so that nobody is personally offended. when personally offensive statements were made in the part apologies have been issued. I encourage you to rethink your priorities instead of trashing on a bunch of strangers you have never seen in your life and who are unlikely to ever speak to you if they find out who you are. being considerste/concerned is different from being a prude.

Consider how male centric this whole thing is. the reason that "person with vagina" is preferred to women is because they think women actually arent whole and complete people in and of themselves. a person with a vagina is like a person with a disability. The male is the standard issue. You ladies- you have that weird absence of a penis and we need to recognise that youre not just a person- youre a person with a vagina.

If you really did not think being born female was some sort of disability- the word woman- which means adult human female- would not cause you some great existential harm.

Whats worse is that the woman here was a rape victim. Imagine if murder victims were refereed to as " the person with the hole in the head". Imagine if you got stabbed and then court records continuously referred to you by your injured body part and then online activists celebrated that because it suited their politics? How insulting.

Whatever internalised misogyny this lady is dealing with- the compassionate thing to do is not to reify that kind of misogyny and instead help her come to terms with her body. It is the only one she will ever have.

Why are you forcing your opponents into this binary? People can dislike corruption in all political parties and still try and hold the one in power- and the one likely to be relected accountable. If youre never going to vote the other way- no matter what evidence of wrong doing comes out- you should consider who you are loyal to.

from " na khaunga na khaane doonga" to- well we all do corruption so lets just legalize it. The morality is absent. I dont particularly care that the congress is also corrupt- the congress is not abount to win a third term with an increased majority that would allow for unilaterally amending constitutions. When the congress is in power- then I will criticise them as well. Thats what patriots do- they hold their country accountable. Dont you guys go on and on about patriotism? how about demonstrating some?

Hi, Please be a little easy on yourself, making such judgements about your own self at such young age is not the right thing to do. At this age you cant even realise what you are capable of. Everybody can do any kind of work given proper training and a right attitude. MBA is a better option if you want to start earning well from day 1 as the market for MBA graduates is bigger and I am sure you would find a place for yourself. If you choose to pursue law just kn

I got into JGLS with a 99+ percentile which means a 75% scholarship (though I have no formal confirmation of the same yet). NLUO would cost around 13 lakhs for 5yrs while Jindal would cost 23.5 lakhs after scholarship. I'm guessing there would be around 4 to 5lakhs of living and extra expenses for 5yrs in both colleges. We’re middle class but due to certain recent responsibilities affording Jindal would make situations financially tight (no loans needed but we would have to tap into our savings eventually). I'm going to work hard for a good corporate job at either college. I’ve done my research and I know what factors are cons and pros in both these colleges but I'm confused if Jindal is worth the stress and extra 10lakhs.Insight on life at these colleges would also be helpful. I’ve been struggling a lot with this choice so genuine advice would be great, thanks.

Honestly at this point, there needs to be market intervention. Clients should refuse to work with AJ and GR who deliberately culture and harbour such an environment and mentorship.

Paisa sab kuch hota hai kya? 100 crore kama Raha hai kya? Respect bhi koi chiz hoti hai. Kama ke dikhao apne employees ki.

They really believe they can do anything to anyone and get away with it.

Not uni mouthpiece, but the university never crushed it. The 5th year guy was infact supported by few faculties except those in administrative ranks as they want to earn that extra allowance and but the 5th year guy never made a ruckus out of it by tarnishing uni image online.

I did not understand one thing

BJP just legalized corruption otherwise before 2014 all parties used to take the money under the table so why are leftists so happy as if some big thing have come out ? All party will now take money under the table as previously they were doing.

This thing will only work for some propaganda for parties as of now otherwise they both know reality.

Speccialy both parties now trying to post their own type of data. Now only one thing will happen that is political parties will hound bussiness that did not donated to them.

Both the funds team pick few favourites and intentionally create a sense of sincere angst and politics. They enjoy the charade amongst the peasants and view themselves as some evil God who can play and manipulate people any way they want. Women are also not spared. You really want to avoid them all. They'll talk down to you, literally hurl abuses at you (for no reason - merely to show superiority and overpower you), humiliate you around others.

Or you can try your luck and see if you are favoured by them. If yes, the journey will be relatively pleasing but still filled with challenges.

I was 25 years old when I had joined them in big hopes and dreams and was willing to put up with anything to make it work. Sure I did put up, I am 31 today and I still think about how I was targeted and treated and how it absolutely broke me, my spirit and confidence. I almost feel ashamed for putting up with their behaviour at the cost of my dignity and self respect. But then i remember I was young and wanted to prove myself. I hate myself for believing they will be fair. I hate myself for ever looking up to them. I hate that I was ever so pure intentioned and kind to them and all they did in return was play games and break me. Worse, they know exactly how it was affecting me - and yet continued to do it.

With that said, nothing you will be enough to 'prove' yourself to them because they just don't care. They don't care about the impact they have on you. They don't care about your growth, your journey. But i still think about it often. ( AJ & GR- If you are reading this, please know that i pray to God everyday for justice. I pray that you feel and go through every ounce of pain and hurt you put me through. Maybe prayers have a way of working. I guess we shouldn't really understand the power of time either. Karma might hit you in some way? Maybe. Maybe not. The world truly is evil and only evil wins in the end I guess.)

Mind you, back then, it was the same team. AJ, GR, PG- under Mr Rau.

I hope this gives you an insight. You make the choice of how you want to shape yourself and your professional journey. But one thing I can promise you- chances of you joining them and making partner are less than 1% or even counsel. You MIGHT make it till SA.

Good luck.

This is supposed to be progress ?

Why do only women get this dehumanising language ? Where are men referred to as people with prostrates ? Penis owners ? Nutsack carriers ? Semen ejectors ? Why does your version of revolution not Reduce actual men to their body parts ? Oh could it be because they already have power and this is just misogyny on the left ?

1. KCO (Avoid MS's DCM team and try to work with Rajeev/ Rahul/ Rolwine. Culture will suck due to the difficult guy who chairs the practice but your learning curve will be very steep)

2. JSA (Its a pool system across partners but work is great quality and bonuses are very high due to B&F being the firm's star practice so thats a plus point)

3. Trilegal (No idea since I have never worked across them)

If not these 3, you can also consider IndusLaw (Ashutosh's team), Argus (Aastha's team) or TT&A (Sonali's team) based out of Mumbai.
