Jyoti lives at DLF Aralias. It's a great option with rentals almost half the price of DLF Camellias. Plus, being an established society means fewer hassles with new neighbors moving in or construction noise.

Personally, I'm all about farmhouse living. Last year, we rented a place in DLF Chattarpur. Let me tell you, my wife throws the best parties there, and our friends absolutely love it. Yes, the rentals there are stiffer than the Camellias but there's something therapeutic about being one with nature, that just works for me like nothing else. Also, consider Tatvam Villas - tatvam has many lawyers from the lower tier firms. But good folks nevertheless..

i am in my 2nd year of law right now, impressive CV and good GPA(in ranges of 8.5 to 9) but non-nlu. i work with intl professors and individuals and often engage in a conversation with them. i want to leave India right after my law school and possibly work internationally(US or good asia pacific countries). The road is a bit tough as I've seen very few non-nlu students in good international firms that are paying well. I am confused as to what direction to move into, i have the simple goal of earning as early as i can and move abroad for work. i don't want debt on my side and come from a pretty middle class family so i would keep getting further education as a 2nd or 3rd option. help required

Hi! I have been living with hiv since last three years and taking art medications living a healthy life. But I always feel and want to be open about my hiv status. Do you guys think being open can lead to termination from the firm apart from workplace discrimination, etc? Thanks

It is a combination of several factors. Lower salary than industry is not that important. Admin red tapes, hostility from colleagues if you want to do the right and progressive thing, decreasing student quality and apathy, hankering for only attendance and easy grades instead of any desire to learn, excessive teaching and admin workload and no opportunity to conduct meaningful research, all these make most good people stay away. The vacuum gets filled with bad people who don't care about any of those. Even the top NLUs have got plenty of such faculty.

I just want to know if the candidates are promising realistic stuff and are they being grilled objectively to explain (show and not simply tell) how they will achieve those given existing constraints and a hollowed out SJA.

For example, "demanding" good VC/faculty (through petitions et al) is tokenism because it goes nowhere and SJA is simply neither positioned nor equipped to enforce such demands.

I would instead ask, what leverage do the candidates already have or can create in the short-term to actually pressure the administration (both inside and outside campus) into cleaning the mess that continues to rot NUJS insidiously.

1. Absolutely despise corporate jobs so placements are not a concern
2. Not even sure if Im gonna get into the profession I might even do CA and takeover my parents firm

3. Regarding internships dad has connections so wont have problems finding internships
4. Proximity, Im form trichy
5. Didnt get into any NLU
6. Dont wanna hangout with spoiled brats in jindal
7. Some people recommended SOEL so I might even go there but by checking previous year trends its harder to get into sastra
8. My dads connections in chennai HC where quick to suggest sastra Thats all I can think of at the moment

Aree no I'm not like I am 100% sure to transfer. I just want to have peace of mind ki in case in those 5 years if I feel ki I am not able to make money due to college (fin problems) or is curtailing my growth due to location then atleast I'll have the option to opt for mumbai. Certainly gnlu is the one of the best but the only factor that is making me think of this is GLC's location

Their banking team is very small. They've started to do capital markets also. Haven't heard great things about team culture. Pay for A0 should be well below a lakh around 70-85 if I'm not wrong. I've heard they've increased recently tho.

Conversion isn't a challenge they'll need good resources. Stick around long enough and do a decent job conversion will happen.

From my time, my observations are:

Best Part -

The faculty (not sure now, some good peeps have left)

The campus life (not sure now considering the rapid expansion, I still feel it's good though)

The infrastructure

Worst part

No jobs. In my time only 3 or 4 people (depending on how you define campus placement) out of a batch of 70+ students for placed. The number of students has only increased.

If you want campus placement, don't go. No LLM will help with that.

If you want to learn and pursue higher studies in law, and are willing to use the resources, you'll have a good time.

Cost wise, it's expensive AF for an LLM, so only go if you can afford it without it being a financial burden for years to come.

All said and done, that one year I spent at Jindal for my LLM was still one of the top things in my 33 year existence on earth. Absolutely loved it.

How does obtaining an LLM in Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) from the University of Turin enhance career prospects, particularly in the context of returning to India? What are the specific benefits and opportunities that individuals with this qualification might expect in the Indian legal landscape, and how can it contribute to the development and success of a legal career in intellectual property law within the country or EU?

I work at a T1 firm and I've always wondered why many of my interns complain that their life is 'full of problems.' Now I know why.

Listen kid, you are just overthinking! Just go for NLS. When I was seeking admissions, I would have literally killed for NLS.

Think of it this way: the debate between NLS and JGLS is like the debate between a Merc and a Maruti. Are they both cars? Yes. Do they both have good gizmos? Yes. Are they equals? HELL NO!

JGLS is indeed one of the best law schools in India, but NLS is the best; that’s the difference. Hope this helps.

PS: This is my first post here; please provide feedback!

NLUs and TLCs often suffer from poor faculty quality because academia becomes a refuge for those who couldn't hack it elsewhere, resulting in a mishmash of disinterested educators teaching subjects they neither understand nor care about, nor could they be bothered to even care about. Most of them only care about their two-hour lectures, and that’s it. The generally poor student quality of these institutions also means that students don’t care about whether or not their professors do their job properly. Furthermore, mediocre professors frequently use the narrative of "academic freedom" to protest against their firing.

K.. PM and CM?

I did not knew Lawyers were so.. Twitter, LinkedIn, Jindal global sab chiz is capitalism. Kha rahe ho industrialists ke karan, aur angrezi me unko gaali bhi de rahe ho.

Itna hi democracy se prem hai, toh Human rights lawyer bano. Saw a Harvard Grad called some Bansal who has joined INC, she told people were not ready to give her Rs. 5000 to fight cases. 5000. See her NALSAR speech.

This is the harsh reality of India and law. That is why most parents force you to do Engineering. Kam se kam better salary ka chance toh hai. How many do Tier 1 and top corporates actually employ?

Aur phir aap aise politician ko jisko 40% India ka direct vote hai, aisa baat bol rahe hai. That is dumb.

Everything. Everything is recorded. Yes, your incognito browser ki porn choices are with CIA/NSA. You are just not important enough to be blackmailed. Reach Chief Secretary level and then see what happens. Even GoI monitors social media and our conversations. Search for NETRA and other projects.

I fail to see this hatred which alleged privileged people have for BJP. 40% janta direct vote di. Poorn bahumat se fair and square jeet rahe hai. Aur 70y raj ke baad aap keh rahe hai ki electoral bonds is corruption? Arey 70y se aap indirectly nahi kama rahe the?

People are dumb if they think INC politicians and INC doesn't have money and BJP is taking the money of industrialists. Guess who had NDTV shares till 2023? Ambani ji. Why he being a Gujarati and an industrialist, was indirectly promoting Ravish Kumar? Wasn't BJP aware?

They were. He and everyone plays both sides. Toh kam se kam yeh bakwas karne se pehle, hum illiterate capitalists ka bana hua khana khana chhod de. Private firms like KCo or Swiggy, zomato se dur rahe aur nandini ka milk piye aur Subsidized akhbar nikale.

Here is the website of their company: https://www.gulabojaipur.com

But this business has nothing to do with law. Any commerce grad can do it. In fact, his wife even said on the show that she does not have any formal educational qualifications. What Shark Tank needs to do is give airtime to sophisticated legal businesses like Vakil Search, LawSikho, LPOs etc. These businesses can make 10 times the amount of money than the businesses they promote, like prepackaged food, skin creams etc.

I think Ramanuj should definitely apply to Shark Tank.

Of course I understand that. I have never said use contacts to get jobs. What I meant when I say 'talk to contacts' is friends who are interning at other firms - It is easier to understand firm culture. Also, while the law is more rewarding once you are a PA / Partner, you need to keep working in law firms to get elevated at PA / partner levels. No law firms will make you a partner / PA if you move from inhouse jobs (of course there are exceptions).

Retweeted by the national editor of Mint, so obvs a credible allegation.

poor people’s problems getting little attention is unfortunately the reality of everywhere in this country and the world. Your insistence that it’s only jgls betrays your prejudice (or delusion). And you contradict yourself; according to you jgls kids are irrelevant to the left, so surely they cannot be the reason the latter is “being forced to prioritise the issues of the elite intelligentsia”

I'm in a Tier 3 NLU (baby ones) and want to make it big as a first generation lawyer in Delhi (dusre state se hu).

Kya kare kahan kare aur kaise kare? My law school is a joke we don't have any alumni. The only good thing is they suck the life out of students for 7-8 hours so atleast I'm getting a little accustomed to sit at the same place for long hours.

Would appreciate some tips from people who suffered the same.

Have interned. Be on top of what you are doing. The main partner actually knows what the whole office is doing including interns and randomly calls interns to meet him and asks them questions on their work. He meets every intern and is very pleasant but it’s quite intimidating. He will ask you some questions almost interview style and if you have not given satisfactory answers, I don’t think you have any shot anymore. Have heard of people being called back and one of their A0 associates is actually from a T2/T3 college who is now an associate after doing two consecutive internships. Not sure of the 3 weeks as I had one month internship. Very nice office in CBD but no parking nearby. They give breakfast and evening snacks to all in a nice cafeteria. Corporate team is the best and everyone seems very busy.

What gave you the idea that I supported her speech? I merely said that this is what seems rational to me. As it is I don't see any link whatsoever between the armed forces and religious issues, being from an army family myself. We have been taught to respect all religions as other people's private choice and focus on values, discipline and solidarity with all who do not seek to harm others.

Hi , I am a student of the incoming batch of 2029 in Nlsiu, I have a few doubts about the placement there for the batch of 2023 as the college has not released its placement report and also recession is going on in the market , so if any senior from nls can clear this doubt then it would certainly help me alot in clearing my mind from this confusion.

Thankyou

untrue - ▮▮▮ called her nothing, only posted a video that lady dancing which she made public on her own, commented that you had to go to a whorehouse to see such dance before but now its palatable even in a college 'cultural fest' - this is not illegal statement or bullying so to say as claimed, its a legitimate cultural criticism

I have no problem with the dance, it was absolutely fine, nothing particularly raunchy or anything in my opinion

But the lady had no right to ask for the video to be removed as it was a video of a public performance that she herself made public - and ▮▮▮ shared his opinion no matter how much one disagrees with it and ▮▮▮ was throughly schooled by twiterratti for his regressive claickbaity post

But this not paneer lady then comes along, threatens to file a false case against ▮▮▮ saying its online stalking etc typical false case bullshit, flexes her lawyer card, threatens ▮▮▮ to take down the post, files a police complaint, mumbai police contacts everyone involved to investigate, so MRAs on twitter lose their shit and dig her old posts

so lawyer lady from big law firm ▮▮▮, but when her employer is tagged and her job is threatened for saying she wants to ▮▮▮, she gets into big trouble

Hope this puts things into perspective

Because it is omnipresent. There's a thread exclusively dedicated to its greatness.

I can accept law schools from Singapore and Hong Kong being ranked above NLSIU, but I can't accept law schools from China, Japan and Korea being ranked ahead. The levels of English there are quite bad, with Japan probably being the worst (just Google and check). You hardly see any Japanese or Korean student winning international moots or doing LLMs abroad. Not knowing English means one can't read the most important legal writings in the world: Holmes, Frankfurter, Bentham, Denning etc. Plus all the top journals. Also, the faculty there don't publish in the top journals for thsi reason. Indian profs do much better.

So is it just racism and bias towards India that NLSIU is ranked lower?

Hello, I'm seeking your help, and I am confident someone here can relate to my situation. I am a 3rd year law student and I have significantly compromised my grades to the point where they seem irredeemable. Despite this, I am determined to secure a placement, believing all is not lost. Please advise on what steps I can take to improve my chances.

Providing a brief overview of my current situation; I study in a T1 NLU, possess decent internships, but acquiring more has become increasingly difficult. I have decent publications, primarily in blogs, I have publications in IndiaCorpLaw, IRCCL, CBCL, and CBFL. However, I lack mooting experience. That sums up my profile.

I kindly request your help on actions I can take to increase my chances of getting internships and placed. I am having sleepless nights and it has become overwhelming. I witness my peers securing internships through RCC while I struggle even to get shortlisted. It feels like I am spiraling into a void, and I need a clear course of action. Sometimes I have suicidal thoughts, I keep on wondering what I will tell my parents if I don't secure a job. It's becoming excruciatingly difficult because I don't know what to do anymore.

If you are from a Tier-1 metro city, join a private or state university which focuses adequately on academics. This should cost you anywhere between 4-10 lakhs cumulatively. Simultaneously, do internships at litigation chambers, law firms, in-house, policy think tanks, etc. Find your interest area and type of work, and then do internships in some specific sectors (1-2 areas) in the final stages of your law course. You will be very much ready to face the law industry, with a good networking already done on your part.

If otherwise you don't have paucity of funds and want to enjoy college/hostel life and have better prospects in life as a professional, go for Jindal/SLS-P/Christ, whichever suits you. From the three universities you mentioned, MNLU-N will ideally be my preference. MNLU-N has student crowd from various parts of the country. The output though in terms of money you invest (which is roughly 17 lakhs + your other expenses = Closing around 20-21 lakhs), is not good.

A known twitter - misogynistic bully - posted a video of a woman who was dancing in a college fest and called her derogatory names and said that India has lost its 'culture.' The girl in the said video had not consented to such publication - and her very close friend is the KCo associate. This inturn started a twt war between the misogynistic bully and the KCo associate - who threatened for legal action. Thereafter, the KCo associates' old twts - un@lliving modi, hating on temples, rating men based on sprots came to light.
