Assuming that Salve is right about the lack of such studies/authorities, that by itself does not mean that the Collegium system is flawed. Has any study held that systems akin to the Collegium system are detrimental in any way whatsoever? The wariness towards appointments being made by the Executive is more than justified when it comes to India.

NALSAR can get you Linklaters or any other UK firm that hires from India, provided you are willing to work. As for your question, the name is sufficient to get your foot inside any law firm that does business in India - whether you convert that opportunity or not is entirely on you. Stop freaking out unnecessarily based on what you hear from "seniors," who must be some hopeless bunch from the first or second year.

Hi, I am not fond of this or any anonymous platform, yet the blatant lies here compel my intervention to clear the air. Comparatively speaking, the culture here entrenched within the firm transcends and is better than the norms prevalent in numerous other similar establishments.

Notwithstanding the presence of divergent viewpoints and professional friction, it remains an environment characterized by adaptability, flexibility, and opportunities.

Drawing from personal experience, I attest to the enriching nature of my time spent within its confines.

Peace, and yes anonymous platforms are the last place on earth to get real feedbacks.

If you send high quality article it will accept

Their only requirement is that the article has to be most exhaustive on a given topic, not AI generated or plagiarised content, no long intros that blabber on - dive direct to the point

And they pay you if you submit such content

I am currently in the final year of my law school and I find myself very interested in labour law and I have completed a couple internships with T1/T2 firms with their Labour Teams. However I somewhat wish to move abroad as well in the future. should I seek to change my prospects or is an opportunity in labour law possible abroad?

I am not going to think that a person is smart or that they know how to build their CV if they have published on iPleaders. Most, if not all, articles on iPleaders lack any sort of novel argument. No thought or substantive research goes into the articles published on that website. Most articles are nothing but descriptive drivel which even a first year can cook up in one day. If someone has written a decent article, then there are much much better places to publish it.

If you are good and can demonstrate that you can deliver the work for the senior team members, you get hired in any law firm, as they want resources who can service clients and bring more clients and increase business. There is no reason to not get hired, if you are good enough. Any service business would run like this.

The student who died was my student. I know this family for the past 8yrs..he is from an army background and is survived by this father, mother and younger brother. The car he was in, was his friend's brother's, ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮. This guy was ▮▮▮ and lost control of the car. The traffic facilitator who was guarding the construction site died on spot and so did my student. One girl and other 3 boys have survived with injuries. He student who succumbed, was on spot. He was brought in dead as declared by the hospital.

1. TLC brand VCs built NLUs and the concept. Moreover, look at NLS being headed by a alumni, completely ruined the 5 year course, more emphasis on the 3 years and massacred the doctoral scholars and ruining the co-curricular activities.

2. Majority of people with a 5 year LLB from top 5 don't join academia, it's usually the LLM and PhD students from the same university who are interested, yet are treated as 3rd class citizens.

3. Students who work hard will continue to do so despite the faculty level. It's the non compliant students that need to be addressed. Also the free grades/grade inflation needs to be stopped.

That's because there is nothing else to do in NLUD. The campus is dead, students don't lead any event, they are just associates with research centres that do most of the work. Students don't lead journals. There are no market or place to visit outside the college, it's situated at a dead place.

Spoiler: He does Answer the question

What is T1 private law school? I was already fed up with T1 Nlu t2 t3 NLU now even others have tiers? I do get that there is differential treatment, but it starts from us actively mentioning all of this. Please lets not complicate this.

The answer: CV me kuch hai to padhlo obvs + basics of contracts+ CPC (res judicata, sub judice jaise topics) + Arb and Con Act s 9,11,17,34,36. For a third year it should be more than enough I think

Sexual Harassment of a female student in NLS? That case was taken up by the ICC and the case was found to be false. The admin did whatever they should have done in this case, i.e., take up the matter as a priority and provide support to the victim. The accused was kicked out of the hostel during the proceedings as well. At the end of the proceedings, her claims were found to be false and she had withdrawn the complaint.

google will help you figure out the number, call em. Tell them to connect you to the HR, tell em that you really want to intern. Make sure they remember your name, ask them for an email id to apply, again repeat your name. Talk about what slots are vacant. apply for the slot. Apply on the given id then and there, with your name in the subject : Application for internship for the Month xyz- (Your name). This is how I got it.

Hi, so the Courts don't close for the entire June so you can still try to get an internship in a Chamber but yes there might be less work available. Since you are only in your 2nd semester, it is unlikely any corporate firm will hire you due to lack of knowledge unless you have connections obviously [but why would you waste using them in your first year - pls don't].

A better alternative would be to intern at NGOs - PCGT, Navjyoti Foundation, CRY, Legal Aid Clinic [of your college] etc. You can find more by checking profiles on Linkedin.

Bhai 2nd Year law students k pas clients nahi hote hai. Recruiters don't have the time to go and read every post when they open a CV. If a student has published on a good blog/journal then recruiters assume that the research and writing skills would be good. A LinkedIn post has zero value for recruiters.

I will come to the answer, but first! what is this criteria? Are you a member of Tapu sena?

But yes also, there is a chamber in GK1 which takes many many interns. SnP had a good amount, made some friends there. L&L Delhi will have quite a few. So does Indus (maybe)

Panag and Babu, Wadhwa Law Offices and B&P will be a nightmare for you, only one intern mostly.

They are the highest paymasters with decent benefits + a T1 firm. People will obvio want to join them. Yes, there are rumours and speculations that it will burst and they will start firing soon but they are mere speculations now. Until, Trilegal starts arbitrarily firing people or other T1s increase their pay/other benefits, people will leave.

Timesheets are exhausting and it feels like it is conceptually meant to monitor me?? there has to be a better way, is there one? I cannot fill them on daily basis and when I do fill them it takes so long that I feel like making an entry in the time sheet titled "filling timesheet."

Should I join a larger team with multiple SAs, Counsels, and A3s & A2s, including some freshers from my batch? Or should I opt for a smaller team with just the partner, an SA, and me, considering I've previously worked with this smaller team, and they were very supportive? (same pay)

Only someone who is being paid to write can come up with such blatant untruths having no relation with reality.

1. Most faculty do PR including sharing the content prepared by the PR team. They do similar PR by approaching foreign scholars and recommending their names for global ranking survey purposes.

2. Your maths skills need work, especially addition. In any case, 10% best proven how? Using what metric? 60% good? Any faculty would contest that. I have taken classes there and the reality is far from what you claim. Only a handful of students display any regular and consistent desire to learn. Maybe 10% of any class.

3. Really? Most of the debarred candidates ended up giving exams after admin intervention. That's an open secret. Any disciplinary action taken against influential students result into the faculty being pressurised by the admin to reconsider. Phonecalls start coming from 'influential' sources. Students collude to give bad feedback against faculty who try to impose discipline. Teachers are recorded in class without their consent and certain clips leaked without context on social media. People's increments and appraisal get affected.

4. Not when admin gets to decide faculty's appraisal, promotion, salary scale and even the job security. Case in point, Raj's immediate censorship of the faculty email about salary disparity.

So basically if SidChau gets to run the place, then it would be amazing. However, he is not qualified to do so. Nor interested in getting that qualification quickly, which is why he still doesn't have a PhD even after more than a decade of teaching. Hence he wishes to be proxy admin, which the real admin doesn't like.

All of these show a high degree of financial mismanagement and corruption in the system because MNLUs (all three) have some of the highest fees among the NLUs, and WBNUJS' BSc-LLB program has steep fees as well. NLSIU jacked up its fee by 25% in just one year (a quantum of increase that is unheard of even in private universities). So NLUs are milking students, but not managing the funds properly.

This proves what we already knew - that state universities deteriorate very quickly.

"If you have commercial courts you must have judges who understand commerce. You cannot have judges who look blank when you talk about competition law or financial services."

"The Delhi High Court has some very good judges, but some very FEW very good judges."

"Whose Constitution is under threat? The Constitution of India or the Constitution of certain political parties?"

"India has transitioned from an English-speaking, public school culture to sons of the soil running the country....India has to be run by Indians. People respect us now because they see India being run by Indians."

"Show me one country in the world where judges appoint judges. Show me one authority, one sociological research which says that if judges don't appoint judges the independence of the judiciary is compromised."

He was never suspended from his position as the head of BJP Legal Cell in WB. In a sense, he never really went away, apart from remaining hidden till he was granted anticipatory bail.

One of the charges against Shk Shahjahan (and I have no love for him/his party) has been rape/aggravated rape of a number of women of Sandeshkhali. If that became the snowball for his arrest, why shouldn't LC face arrest or at least serious police investigation.

It is the conduct of an otherwise overzealous KP that surprises me. What is the "setting"?

But why did things go this bad at MNLU Nagpur? Does the CJI and Justice Gavai know about all this? Wasn't MNLU Nagpur flush with funds? Law Museum or something?

There are strong murmurs that NUJS is likely to go the MNLU Nagpur way. The Associate Professor who lodged SH complaint against the VC says that she was victimized for exposing the parlous state of NUJS finances; discrepancies in how admin staff have been hired recently, including the VC appointing his nephew as his pvt secy; mismanagement of UGC funds (yet again); starting the ill-conceived BSc LLB (Hons) that has been hemorrhaging the univ finances; and lot of "creative accounting".

But the report doesn't say how the crisis developed and what has the VC been doing. This VC had a poor record starting from his time in NALSAR. He was castigated in a inquiry report authored by Andhra HC judges. But Tauji saved his bro (VCV who was also pulled up in the report also scooted).

Legally India, then fronted by Kian, was the only one who had extensively reported on this NALSAR Inquiry Report.

NLU Assam suffered and when his eviction was a certainty, Tauji helped him at MNLU Nagpur where Santra folks rule. This time as well this matter will be hushed up and this VC will get an "honourable" exit.

It is for MNLU Nagpur students, faculty and admin staff members to keep their eye on the ball and ensure that this VC is not only exposed but also his ecosystem of corruption et al is uprooted. That would send a strong message to his successor whether from NLU or TLC (false categories anyway)

Have the RTI process go online. Is the student body or even the faculty interested?

SJA at NUJS pressured Lord Taluk into doing that. Even before that SJA smartly applied RTI for exposing several discrepancies that PIB and Co were brushing under the carpet.

After NKC took over, SJA imploded and the advantages gained were lost. Hopefully the current SJA will start the difficult journey of getting out of the morass.

That's why different rates for different levels of expertise/experience exists. If you have hired someone who is efficient and more experienced I doubt they will charge the same rate as someone who "knows crap about a matter and takes much longer to produce sub standard work".

And you should read the entire thread before making a vague comment (feels like you are a CA). For the benefit of everyone else, the following para from one the above comments is a good tldr:

"As long as you avoid saving more than 50% of your income in your bank account, which will be conclusive evidence of you faking your return, you will never have a problem.

Whatever your gross receipts are - say 4L per month. Do not save more than 1.9L per month in your own bank account / securities account / any savings that can be traced back with your PAN. Always prefer cash for your spends."

Hi, I am a final year law student from a t2 NLU, I started with a group of 10-15 people during my initial years of law school. As I am about to complete my fifth year, I only have a handful of people left who I trust and still consider as a friend. Is this common, I feel everyone around me seems to be jealous of each other's achievements (most of them pretend to be good friends)

As a fifth year student about to join a T-1 in another few months, quite confused and discouraged about my future opportunities and life in the career. Seniors working at T-1's seem to keep working in the same place while cribbing about it all the time (also at LI). Friends from other professions seem to have a much much better life, in all aspects. Options other than joining firms seem to be really bleak and do not provide as much stability of income either. Planned to prepare for judicial services (still doing), but read a ton of negative stuff here about that too. Not sure what am I looking for here, but anybody with any genuine advice or even some positive affirmations would also work lol.

As someone who has run a practice and has been in in-house, i personally think billing hourly as a way of paying transaction lawyers creates a completely incorrect incentive.

I'm personally very happy pay to premium for the girl or guy who can get the work done quickly, effectively and with the right quality - and when I am as practising, i would often charge premium for getting a transaction done faster (and basis client satisfaction). Not sure why more folks don't try.

No faculty needs to do any PR. There is JGU Media and outreach office to take care.

60% class in JGLS good quality students. 10% are the best in the country. compare with any law school. Why focus on bottom 20%.

Students fail courses. 500+ students were debarred on attendance grounds sometime back. There is zero interference with faculty decisions. You can always take all possible actions to improve academic standards. Nobody stops you.

Faculty is above the admin. Why will you obey them?

That may be one plausible reason. If SKDR-KVR had listened to him, the demonstration classes for the recruitment of Assistant Professors would have actually happened in front of students, rather than being hurriedly done online during an internship break. If they had actually understood what he has been telling them, they would have made serious efforts to reach out to competent applicants for the higher ranks. If they had actually read his written responses to them, they would have planned properly before launching a new LL.M. programme in Insolvency Law. If they had applied their mind, the allotment of subjects to most of the newly recruited teachers would have actually been based on their expertise and preferences. Lastly, if they had heard him fairly, they would have held regular faculty meetings and curriculum review meetings in a professional manner, instead of treating them as mindless rituals.

I have seen Sid.C up close as a colleague for the last 10 years. He lives and breathes for the institution that he works for. He is leaving because the current Administration has made it very embarrassing for any self-respecting academic to continue here. Some of us have financial and family-related obligations which make it hard for us to leave our present job. If it is any solace, at least he is returning to the place from where he was unjustly removed in 2013. They are building a strong faculty base now and hopefully NLSIU 2.0 will show us how an academic institution can be overhauled with patience, persistence and professionalism. Sudhir K is only an instrument for a much larger transformation when it comes to ensuring teaching standards.

He refused meeting her parents too for a formal meeting and never came in front on this matter and you want anyone to empathise with him on this, did he ever acknowledge the faults, did he ever give an apology and when we are just putting our pov over his "professional conduct" you are linking all this to politics wowww maybe it's Karma but his wife shouldn't be the one facing the consequences

Oh where is this humanity when it came to the victim, students have never shown her enough empathy, she is not allowed on campus and no one gives a damn. Where was this humanity when she kept on begging for help regarding her safety, where was humanity when she was publically humiliated for 10 long months with her details on website!! While I wish for his wife's health it is baseless and absurd to link his professional mistakes with his personal life! Where is the politics here

State of most of the institution/entity be it educational, administrative, social, etc etc of the country including these alleged 'premier NLUs'.

Firstly I am not sure if these are trolls who daily come up with headlines like "NLS going to the dogs".."NALSAR in shambles".. seems very click baity and trollish to me...if the threads on this site were to be believed NLS and NALSAR would have gone ground deep in their stature..

Either ways, I will indulge. I will tell you an important thing to stop this fear mongering. "It is the STUDENTS that make a university." NLS and NALSAR are what they are because the top 200 CLAT people go there. These are the words of none other than my VC Faizan sir. He had very categorically stated that it is the students that make a university rather than the faculty. Give me the top 50 students of the country and that institute will anyways excel provided of course that it has some semblance of infra and decent (if not stellar) faculty.

Isn't Messiah criticized daily on this site?? Didn't NALSAR have a period of having a very incompetent VC (read Veer Singh) in the past?? And through all this turmoil both the institutes have retained their status and will continue to do so.
