Thank you for your inputs!

Btw the journal is "LusPorpus Law Journal", IJL______ (insert anything here) These journals on LinkedIn are ruining first years by making them delusional. The students just copy-paste things from ChatGPT then add some citations from JSTOR or other sources, paraphrase the plagiarized text shown by Turnitin using quillBot and poof! you're getting published in a "peer reviewed journal".

It’s all well and good to make grand claims about “ we’ll be a developed country in x years” the same politicians were claiming 2020, 2024, would be the years when we would become a developed country.

No one asks the follow up question at an election rally. How ? What are your plans ? What is your economic strategy?

What do you mean ? The IDF absolutely does tell the press where and when they are planning to attack next and provide numbers of casualties even if it does take time to count it all up. The IDF is not claiming that they are not bombing Gaza or that a ground invasion isn’t happening. They’re not as fact free as all that. Absolutely no one I know is arguing that israel isn’t engaged in a war in Gaza right now. But far too many people want to deny the atrocities committed on oct 7.

I know both sidesing this issue makes us feel like our actions don’t have consequences and there is no moral clarity to be found. But it’s just not true that both sides are doing the same thing at all.

Won’t do to blame alumni when students have chased almost every alumni Prof out of the university since 2013. And when admin is openly hostile to alumni coming back.

You want a good university ? You want your degree to mean something ? You have to hold yourself accountable and be the best versions of yourself. There was a time when sub par faculty were given poor feedback and students even petitioned to get them removed. The situation is almost opposite today- electives offered by sub par faculty get filled up cause easy grades and we’ve come to adopt an insane anti-meritocratic attitude where identity is destiny. We have been coasting on the brand without adding to it.

update: we conducted a protest outside the registrar's office and got them to revoke all mails curtailing gatepass access.

it's upsetting that the entire student body had to unite to fight this just because we have no one to fight for us against the admin.

anyway, congrats jindalites! we did it.

Shitstorm over emails happening right now….Unhappiness over annual appraisals for faculty.. allegations of arbitrariness and higher pay going to undeserving people…. unhappiness over power weirded by certain JGLS profs in admin roles

A lot of this is no doubt related to the culture wars on campus, but the truth is that you need to suck up to the management irrespective of whichever ideology you are. Notwithstanding the newfound BJP Bhakti, some left-wing profs have been appointed to their admin roles because of their proximity to the management.

Human life should be given preference over stray dogs, says Kerala HC

Provide feedback, it will help them understand the gaps.

Don't have to worry about being rude (you don't have to be). In any case, it will help them in the next internship or when they become an associate.

Lastly, as part of Tie I firm, I never expected interns to deliver exceptional work, they are students after all. In just bore in mind the time when I was an intern and the level of limited understanding I had regarding work products.

If the majority of the voters are her beneficiaries, who are making her win, then logic would say that she's doing what the leader is supposed to do. So clearly the problems persisting means that neither she nor Ganguly should be treated as anything beyond ordinary human beings who are selfish and makes mistakes of their own.

It's actually socially inappropriate to ask out a senior female colleague. It is ethical but you would be judges by everyone.

I have even seen Pa's asking out fresher AO's and even ending up dating and marrying them.

Generally women prefer older men or of same age and never younger guys as they expect more maturity, income in men.

Start writing policy briefs/analysis- even if they're not published, it is a must to have a writing sample if you want to get shortlisted for an internship at policy based organizations.

You can apply at IFF, NITI Aayog, SFLC, ESYA, NLUD-CCG, or you can apply to intern under MP's as well.

the jgu administration just sent out an email stating that they’re suspending the freedom of movement of students for an entire week for an event they want to conduct.

this is absolutely ridiculous and an an egregious violation of the individual rights of the students.

i don’t know how much the student life and liberty can degrade at this university.

As an Associate(joined last year) at a T-1 law firm in NCR, I find myself in a predicament. I've developed feelings for a senior associate within the same team, and I'm torn about whether to confess. The fear of how the team might react looms over me, but I also suspect she might feel the same way. Despite the 2-3 year age gap, the uncertainty weighs heavy on my mind. Should I take the risk and confess my feelings, or should I continue to keep them hidden to avoid potential complications within the team?

Yeah this looks like a powerful tool, but I want to understand how to use it effectively. I do what one earlier poster has stated - define as many terms as possible in the definition section and then just update the definitions. Of course also use autonumbering and automatic clause referencing.

Can someone please shed some light on the probable policy research organisations one can intern in their early years in law school? Ideally I would want to intern at a tech policy based organisation like The Dialogue but due to limited options and no publications to show, any policy research organisation that takes young law students would work.

I would really request people who have done policy work to share some names of the organisations I should apply at and the requisites that I must qualify (if any).

First, orient them towards receiving feedback constructively. You could say, "we should review your work, and here's what I think... please understand that this is feedback about the work and not you" or something on similar lines.

Second, stick to feedback about work. No personal attacks.

Third. Direction. Create an actual path and learning schedule to improve them. Can't type? There are websites. Can't read? Read a book/newspaper everyday. Can't speak? Help them join a club.

This is a pivotal moment not just for the intern, but also for you. The impression they carry will remain etched for years, and will also become your market reputation. Take genuine interest in their growth, and they will help you grow.

It is the onus of established alumni and present students to see to it that majority of faculties and facilities provided are top notch. Harvard is Harvard because the alumni had such a strong "giving back to the community" mentality that majority of the finances come from the alumni and they're not dependent on government. Unfortunately NLUs are neither rich like Jindal nor are central Universities like IIT, IIMs, DU and JNU; and therefore alumni support b come quintessential for it's well being. Also, VC makes or breaks the institution.

How do you argue with people living in some fact free universe ? Why do we need the UN to find this ? Hamas told us - they took responsibility, they videoed themselves doing this stuff. The fact that this was in any doubt - like there’s a desperation I think to believe it isn’t true on the left. But it absolutely is.

Maybe things have gotten worse now because chauhan is leaving. But things were bad even under FMs raj toward the end. Pandemic learning was a disaster, the evaluation pattern was a disaster. There was so much cheating that was almost co-signed by the admin. Even before that - so many nlu alumni professors joined and left. Other universities are not like this. They actually have rigor and good faculty and a responsible administration at nls.

what do you mean by developed? lifting 230 million people out of poverty? giving food to the 9 million children who don't have access to even a single serving of food in a day? or do you mean ending this system of rampant casteism and birth based discrimination? if you consider all this things as being developed then I'm sorry to inform you things are not gonna change in 23 years.

Is there anything more annoying than woke elites in Delhi with no idea of Bengal politics seeing Mamata as the arch-angel of the left? Please learn some Bengali and look at Bengali news channels and YouTube videos of leftists themselves commenting on the state of affairs, like Bikash Bhattacharjee or Shatarup Ghosh from the communist party. These are true grassroots leftists not the faux champagne-guzzling leftists of Delhi. So please don't rely on tweets by Swara Bhaskar, Sagarika Ghose etc.

I’m an associate at a small law firm and all my work has been basic general corporate advisory and I am free most of the time here.

I’ve scored an interview with a firm that regularly does PE/VC work. What should I study for the interview? How do I convince them to hire me?

Few guesses:

1. Love for the work - Someone really wants to work as a transaction lawyer in M&A/PE-VC/Capital Markets team and enjoy the glamour and perks associated with it.

2. Pay - A law firm partner in big law would earn at least 5 to 6 times more than their batchmates in SEBI (ask anyone from NUJS 2007 batch in CAM & SEBI).

3. Bad boss - Not all departments/bosses may be good and the same may leave a bitter taste (equally applicable for law firms).

4. Stagnation - Career growth is much slower in a Government department (where there is no Assured Career Progression) with little or no incentive for outperformance thereby reducing the sharpness of a professional over the years.

5. Futuristic - There may be more lateral movements in Government organisations from the private sector (at very senior levels) in the coming years.

A piece of advice for the OP from a person who has spent one and half decades in the industry - be it law firms or SEBI, try to be the most hardworking person in the room and your college/grades would not matter within a period of 3 to 4 years.

Keep dreaming and keep hoping!

23 years seems like a long time away and most of us are not even 23 years old… so it’s more than our entire lifetime so far. But still, our GDP per capita is lower than many African countries and we have a massive population of uneducated people. On top of that we have corruption, populism, reservation politics, socialist policies and lack of women’s equality. Even if the government enacts hardcore liberalisation and reforms, matching developed countries in 23 years still seems like a tall order because of these challenges.

I strongly feel a weak and inefficient VC is root cause of all evils in an nlu.

NLUs are VC driven institutes. Nalsar led by Ranvir Singh and recently Faizan Mustafa deserve similar persons. Present VC could be apt to be an office superintendent not leader of India's top law school.

Students should demand change of VC. Nalsar is indeed going down with each passing day. A good VC at NLS making all the difference. The difference and distance between NLS Bangalore and other NLUs including Nalsar is much more now.

I feel you bro/sis. It really reflects on those people. Don't worry. I know it's hard not to get bogged down by these things, but my suggestion to you would be: Focus on learning and refining your skill set. People who appreciate the craft will see you for your raw potential. Are there classists idiots in this profession? Sure. Are there people who would appreciate your skills and not your social standing. Cent percent. They might be in a minority, but be rest assured that such people exist. Also, what exactly do they say that make you feel like they are throwing shade?

No advocate is willing to take up her case she spoke to dozens of them. Organisations and Commissions she has written to are taking long to deliver a result. I see no reason why she is not allowed to attend classes and being behaved with in this way. I believe though that she will not give up despite the challenges.

When and how did that happen? What about the senior judge who called another judge to his chamber to discuss matters relating to AB? Yes Amitabh Bachchan does not have exclusive claim to AB.

What I really don't understand is AB getting blank cheques to lie through his teeth and still not attract attract contempt. Why this indulgence? What does he know about judges that IB doesn't know?

Has she reached out to a certain star alumni of HNLU? What about a certain ex-ASG who personally took great interest when a well-connected Noojie complained of SH against an ex-SC judge. The complainant then decided against formal proceedings. However, another Noojie did not receive similar assistance when she complained against another SC judge. The Delhi HC timed her out and eventually the SC judge expired. Case closed.

Or what about certain stalwarts recently made senior advocates by the SC? What about CJI himself? or the Chancellor/CJ of HC?

Below average rank here. Mostly due to laziness and disillusionment.(Law firms suck, wlb balance etc). Didn't know where I'd end up. Just gave a few interviews during campus placement and ended up in a T1. Of course I went because like I said, I didn't know where I'd end up. But definitely did not expect to be here. But life is good now, cashing decent checks, but I'm also concerned about my health due to the gruelling working hours. All in all, I'd say is grades don't matter but they do help. But a good cv also matters. You should probably have a wide variety of experiences that can prove useful to the firm

Jay shetty is just an influencer

he has some good insights, and he copied and reused a lot of viral content which is a common strategy for a lot of influencers

Nobody thinks anything of Jay Shetty apart from liking a few of his posts

Guardian article is a big nothingburger

Rapists deserve the strictest punishment, period.

With that being said, we mustn't forget that the 'law of the land' comes only into play after the crime. Until then, it's all about how we engage with the 'laws of nature.' Here's putting this in context:

https://youtube.com/shorts/UScfLdnqx8M?si=ga4r94tmyls6NBnm

Humans are complex beings, as we all know. Very different from the tiger 🦈 you just saw in that video! The male gaze and what one can come to expect from it can differ from culture to culture and from environment to environment. Denying ourselves this fact will bring undesirable consequences. Because, in doing so, you are effectively challenging the wrath of Mother Nature. Evolution is no doubt an intrinsic part of the human spirit, but make no mistake - different societies have made different strides from barbarism.

Happy women's day everyone! Take men along by winning and not trashing them. Remember you are part of the same team!

As I stated earlier that once I get to hear back from the HR, I will update it over here. And as it stands that I've got to hear back from the HR Team at last. I am elated to say that I have been offered the internship officially. Yes! I have been selected for the Internship.

Thanks for all the inputs that you people provided here. I appreciate em' all!

Hi, I will be joining a disputes practice of a good law firm. The thing is my background till now was in corporate law. I passed the interview and got the offer. But now I am shit scared because I don't know anything in litigation. I am interested in disputes but afraid don't know anything, literally anything, infact have done very few internships in disputes.

Can someone guide me as to the nature of work in a disputes team in a law firm for someone joining as a fresher.

I am good at legal research and maybe little bit of legal writing here and there. But I don't know what I will be expected to do in my new role. How to prepare for it. Please help me out.

Will I be expected to draft SLPs, WP, etc. I am afraid I have not even drafted a legal notice in my life.

Any tips/ guidance would help a lot.

Thanks. Bye

DAW doesn't appear to be an inclusive event. If you follow their LinkedIn page or any of the updates emanating from it, the whole thing is seemingly a close-knit affair for the benefit of a very select audience. But as Aam janta, I am grateful to the organizers for sharing certain segments of this event on YouTube 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Also - what are these sleepy bar associations even doing!!?? - I get spammed hard during elections and for every damn cremation or prayer meeting and not one email or one sms for DAW!!? I never cared about the DHCBA elections, but I'll be sure not to give my vote to any of its sleepy, present-day office-bearers.

Dear Kian, please publish this FOMO post. I was very keen on attending this event (DAW) and didn't even know about it before the Feb 20 deadline. Peeved.

Batch of 2024, will likely shift to delhi as an incoming A0. How is delhi, how are the firms. Is it safe, good pgs any???

How is trilegal. Does it have good mandates, how is the work culture, are people nice, very stressed about beginning life as an Associate. Any tips???

Particularly how is the disputes practice at Tri. Is there any horror story I should know about.

Thanks a lot

Bye
