I have appeared for Tier 1 interviews before for the same firm but a different partner/office but that was probably one of the worst interviews ever because I felt so intimidated by the Partner and it was my first time appearing for something so big and crucial.

I don't want to mess this up. I want the job. It's not been good for me. Getting this job might give direction to my life for a while. Any insights or prep questions would be helpful.

So my boss, the GC, gives me a Debenture Trust Deed and asks me to "See what I can do with the Placeholders to reduce our turn around time". What does this even mean? He gave these instructions while hes on vacation.

What could he possibly mean? What kind of what does he want me to do with the DTD?

Please help LI family. Thanks :)

theres no attrition and very few potential employers, competition law has really been blown out of proportion by law schools these days. You also have very few tier 2 options that pay even close to 12. stay away, i am suffering and regret not switching to something like CM before

A NLUO student succumbed to his injuries after a car accident during the early hours on Sunday. A group of students were coming back to uni after attending the fest at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, when their speeding car hit a stationary construction vehicle parked beside the road. A bystander died on the spot, while the student succumbed to his injuries later in the hospital and his friends sustained injuries due to the collision.

University scheduled a condolence meet today for the departed soul.

IIM Rohtak has not even become a good IIM like ABCLIK. Students prefer XLRI, MDI, FMS etc over IIM Rohtak. Their flagship MBA program and it's placements nowhere close to top IIMs. Director of institute Mr Sharma facing so many controversies. Irregularities in faculty appointment to himself not qualified for IIM directorship and submitted fake marksheet, etc.

In such a situation, 5 year law started by them will only be a waste of time and money for young people. Go to NLUs or jindal or symbiosis pune than joining this substandard and high priced law degree, all in the name of IIM.

Awesome pitch! Transitioning from being a practising lawyer and not just a corporate lawyer (at least that's what I can see from LinkedIn) to running a tech platform completely unrelated to law. Damn, that's crazy!

While she was pitching, you can see the all the skills that she has gained from being a lawyer - ensuring she engages with all the judges (i.e., sharks), having answers to almost all the queries that sharks asked at the tip of her hand, giving out as much relevant info as she possibly could in each answer, the fast paced manner of speaking (this one being the most typical lawyer behaviour - explaining something in as much detail, in the least amount of time possible) and obviously there would be a lot of other such skills that she would have gained when she was a lawyer!

Top of the line laptops, the recent joiners received a laptop that was not even out in the mainstream market. Samsung phone, dongle, and keyboard+mouse set. All brand new, out-of-the-box btw.

Leaders get better brand laptops and iPhones, but the tech is essentially the same.

He was a former junior to CPIM and Senior Advocate Bikash Bhattacharjee and is basically left-leaning at heart. He will also make his announcement tomorrow in front of the statue of the leftist freedom fighter Surya Sen. I don't think he will be a good fit in the BJP because of Hindutva. However, even the left/Congress is a bad fit now, because their high command in Delhi is hobnobbing with the TMC rogues as part of the INDIA alliance, plus the woke elites have grabbed power in the left-liberal ecosystem.

I think it's best that he stands as an independent against Abhishek Banerjee in Diamond Harbour, and the BJP, Left and Congress all decide not to contest against him, so that it becomes a two-horse race. Muslims in Diamond Harbour may also vote for him if he goes independent.

1. Cities were better governed - only for the white subjects. There was still large swathes ignored and cordoned off - eg: delhi has an entire area previously only for whites. Waste management was pretty bad.

2. Beautiful and Grand Buildings - again, it was mainly for administrative buildings and some places of leisure. Rest of the Indians were left to rot. These buildings are expensive to build and maintain - would you rather have 'beautiful' buildings or good admin? Cause India does not have the resources for both and the Britishers only focused on superficial goodness - rest of the money was siphoned off to their mashed potato eating population that still eats like Germany is bombing them.

3. Many unis were established - granted, somewhat a good point, but then again, why are we comparing Britishers to Mughals? Are you telling we incapable of starting our own unis? Have you forgotten about Nalanda and Taxilla 'uni'? Education became a bit more formalised under the British but it was not out of the goodness of their hearts.

4. Many learned men were appointed as profs and admins - We are a population of 1.2B, of course in trying to not gatekeep education and opportunties some lacklustre appointments happen. Are you telling me beyond the Russel group, any unis in UK are good? Even in the Russel group most are questionable. Do you really want someone who doesn't understand what it is to be Indian to be in charge of teaching Indians?

5. English Language was introduced - I'm sorry, are you telling me the populations in Japan and SK depend on English for their education? It is good we can communicate in a common language, but I think given time we would've figured out a common language or have adopted English on our own. There was no need to siphon $4.5 trillion for that.

6. Scientific temper was encouraged - did you and I read the same history? The Britishers frequently gatekept the common Indian from accessing premier institutions (even Ramanujan faced lots of issues, and that man was a genius par excellence). Also Pre Mughal era had a decent amount of scientific advancements. While I agree stuff like Homeopathy

He can be faulted for doing this in the first place. Now most of his decisions as well as others that go against the ruling regime will be questioned and seen in a political colour. It looks like these people haven’t really understood the concept of separation of powers. Whatever little credibility the judiciary still has left are fast disappearing because of people like him, Gogoi, Khanwilkar etc.

I studied in Army Schools throughout my school life, albeit more than a decade and a half ago, and I never felt there was any systemic discrimination between children of officers and jawans. Sure, there were assholes on both sides, but they were the exceptions rather than the norm. I felt that it took me time to get used to the crowd and "fit in" even in my law school (one of the older NLUs) since I had a sheltered childhood and law school was a wild place.

Grades are not destiny. Learn the law. Do assessment internships. Build your CV. Get good grades in the years you have left.

Your illnesses are not your identity. And they’re certainly not all the future has in store. Stop committing suicide and invest in your own self improvement. Do something everyday to be of service to someone else. Repair your relationship with your parents.

Financial independence is not - a thing you get. Build capability and that will follow. Get out of the fixed mindset.

Get in touch with CLAT coaching, if you are from a general category and have good ranks else if you are from a reserved category, start preparing for Judiciary/assistant public prosecutor exams. Join litigation after grad, it won't pay u much but will make u eligible for a lot of govt exams.

Given your poor grades, it would become very difficult for u to get law firm jobs. Even if u get one, I would suggest u against taking the job as your mental health will get fucked beyond repair.

Hi,

I have secured admission into JGLS (was getting into MNLU-N through CLAT but did not want to study there) and SLS-P.

I wanted to ask you all which of these institutions is better? I intend to try CLAT again to see if I get a better NLU, so I wanted to know which of these provides more free time to study. Additionally, which of these has a better brand image? I am from a small town in Maharashtra, so I perceive that SLS-P is better, but what is the general perception in the industry?

For more details wait for his press conference on Tuesday 1.30pm. There is some talk that he will join BJP on March 7 and contest LS elections from Tamluk.

He does have a "Left" background due to his mentorship and friendship with left-leaning folks. Then again, he has personally tasted excesses of Left regime, a big reason why he quit his WBCS position. He really cannot be faulted for not joining Left or GOP. Both have no future in Bengal (other than in some pockets). As an independent he can do very little.

Remains to be seen how independently he can function within BJP. But that applies to all parties. Everyone expects and demands unquestioned obedience and sycophancy. Those who do this smartly succeed.

this issue was not reported correctly, both the boys were of the same caste and this was not because of a caste issue, they were friends and did it for whatever reason but not because of caste, the attention seeking media covered it this way.

coming to your other question, TNNLU is no where near the top 5 or 6 nlus, it is currently a tier 3 nlu which has very good scope for tier 2 in the upcoming years, it has a pretty huge campus and it's a good environment. the placements will pick up by the time you graduate most probably, it's a good college if you decide to put in efforts, unlike the top nlus you can't get placed by doing nothing.

They rarely convert paralegal to associate. They torture for 6 months, then ask for extension. This happens with every one. I was a paralegal 3 years back. I had support of a senior associate and associate partner. They didn't convert me. I got a much better job. I should have taken up other offers before. I heard some associates from symbiosis pune too were taken as paralegal and then converted after a year! Cheap labor. There's something I heard that an A3 was tortured and made an A0 with reduction in salary. Terrible place. Don't go for it. Blore 5 year associate becomes a partner. Bombay partners are unbearable. Stay away 🙏

Hello, i joined a T1 nlu thinking life set hai. But soon after my mental health devolved and i got diagnosed with schizophrenia and depression in first year. I was never good at academics and the pattern continued in college. Eventually i spiralled into my mental lows. I attempted suicide in second year using Clonazepam but failed. My grades are downright awful and I have no will to study anymore. I also need to be financially independent after graduation because my parents will throw me out if I come out to them. What do I do? I don't even have a good internship or extracurricular track record and I really want to get back on my feet. I'm tired of getting Cs and Fs for most courses.

Clat isn't an exam preparation is required for. clat requires a clear mindset and working well in the limited time duration. You'll easily find time for GK as it continuously remains a topic of discussion in lawschools.

The majority of the works as to the tuning of your brain to look out for those keywords and interpret the words right are already done

Infact going to law school even for a few months would infact supplement your chances of getting a good NLU

I'd recommend taking a partial drop but however would suggest joining a reputable institution even a T3 NLU is good.

Hey, First off welcome to the NLUJ family

- New academic system implemented reducing workload on students and professors exponentially,Website finally looks like it isn't in the 1990s(Great Redesign), Infrastructure issues being addressed.

-Things look good under the new VC for students

-Extracurricular Activities in the form of moots and adr opportunities right from the first year with great coaching system and helpful guidance, Participation and victory in all major sports fests.Furthee Active theatre society, Academic and Literature Society organises frequent quizzing events, Debating Club has practice sessions

-Great sporting infrastructure - maintained volleyball court, basketball court,football field,cricket ground and nets, indoor badminton and outdoor tennis.

-Faculty is experienced in their particular field,quite experienced professors(check the nluj faculty page for background and their activities)

-Ragging does exist but does not take any physical form,no casteism or discrimination of any sorts. Ragging at campus is merely an introduction and some light humor. while not encouraged it does happen,

- Ragging or introductions however are completely voluntary,no one would harm you in any sorts for avoiding ragging, further your seniors ensure you are safe and that any ragging by anybody doesn't harm you

- Helpful seniors who will be there for you if anything goes wrong

I recommend contacting people from nluj on LinkedIn or Instagram and having a detailed conversation about each aspect. public forums such as LI might generate false narratives or views by someone who isn't even at NLUJ.Going to people who are at the university and Getting direct insights would help

Looking forward to seeing you here

NLUJ senior

1. work culture is good compared to a lot of law firms. 2. pay is substandard- 40K-80K or so for As, 1L-1.5L for SA/PA/Partners (no permanent seniors- as per LinkedIn all are either part time or of counsels)3. growth aspects yes for switching (great switch aspects) 4. no ppos, don’t even assume or expect. Hoping this clarification is helpful

Ive been alloted tnnlu and decided im gonna go there but recently came upon this article
https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/dalit-student-tricked-into-drinking-urine-by-classmates-at-tnnlu/article67737055.ece
and also saw some people absolutely bashing it left and right
what should I do ?

DSK is still conducting its interviews, Pheonix Legal is doing the same, Panag & Babu came in and did their initial interview rounds, LKS took the CVs, EY hired three people, JSA has just come in and asked for CVs. At least a few more to come.

Plus there are like 15-20 people in PPOs. Not bad, but could be better - it is in tier II

Actually when you take the rapes per million people India stands on par with the global average, its just that our population is so high this seems like a common occurrence. By any means Im not saying that this should go unnoticed but at the same time there is no need to think India is the absolutely worst place for women
Now was just curious about something dont start a war on me
Why do these guys never try to cover the incident like kill them and bury or something ?

I also do WFH.. combination of tax work and share trading. Earning quite well. Yes, I do get law firm FOMO and don’t have the prestige and brand name of being with AZB and CAM. But my friends at these places assure me I am better off. I save many hours of commuting time, so I play badminton 3 days a week, walk everyday and see movies 2-3 times a week. My friends say I am very lucky as they don’t have the time for that.

In matters like these the solution can be -

Grass root mentality change - takes time, a lot of time but has to be doneTalented and passionate people becoming people with power - and not going for cushion jobs like MNCs - it is what it is

No complacent people in places that hold authority to work on such issues - We need dedication and support

Eye for an eye mentality - not in the literal sense, but some damage must be done to those who decided to infringe the bodily rights of the woman - how? they should not be given equal rights, like other sane citizens, they no longer deserve it.

Men and women both need to become aware that they do not hold any right or power over others, the mindset of people is corrupted these days and the guts to act on the shit thoughts they have in their minds with no fear of any consequences is saddening.

So, no counselling, no giving second chances, no jail, a punishment that will act as a fear so no one dares to even think of committing such crimes is the only solution unfortunately, in a country like ours.

When peace doesn't work, harshness has to step in - in the form of strict punishments.

I am passionate about litigation, it pays fairly for my experience but the working hours leave no time for any personal life. I have a very small friend circle and do not speak to my friends everyday. Work colleagues are just that, people I work with. How do I even go about thinking about marriage when I just have no time to even talk to anyone in a romantic way and all my time will go to my work which I really do love.

I need some perspective about how you guys are handling it? People around me are getting married, engaged left right and center. I am in no rush, but ideally...it seems like this is the age to get married. But I feel I will not have any time to give to my family like this at all. Is this sustainable?

Let's start with treating women as equals and with dignity and not as some secondary products owned by certain men and only aim for money.

Then victim blaming, I see so many people not believing victim statements but making conclusions based on the accused. It's almost as if men believe men more.

Then stigma in reporting.

Then the damn corrupt and slow police.

dude medical curriculum and law is totally different fields , that's a baseless comparison but JS Deepak is compelling a necessary kick on the face of sleeping and delusional section of Indian population to have their right perspective of looking at things and pov imposed on them by the left .
