Man!

There is this place "Nuskha by Curry Mahal"

Pros: Its comparatively a new place, taste is extremely delicious. The best part is they prepare their food in a different manner which gives a special touch in their food.

Laccha Paratha is awesome, IMO, it's one of the best in town.

Cons: the only problem is that they serve online, (available on zomato swiggy)

Litigators. Hands down. There is no competition.

I am a corp lawyer (for context).

Litigators liaise with the police, government officials, jail officials, judges, registrars idfk who else.

Then comes other things like finding “dirt” “talking” to witnesses etc

There's no denying the fact the times have been unusually harsh for 2023 graduates. every day, LinkedIn is flooded with hundreds of graduates scrambling for even the pettiest of opportunities or job postings.Sometimes I feel the situation is even worse than the engineering or tech market for law. With the Big firms and companies are virtually uncompromising in considering people's experience and NLUs. What handful of opportunities people are able to grab somehow are either so horrible in terms of pay or work pressure that it becomes virtually impossible for them to continue.

Also, I am most amazed to see the callous behavior of recruiters and colleges alike in leaving poor job seekers at the mercy of their fate. They simply brush the matter under the carpet as if people of this time and age don't exist at all. Talking about references, not everyone has a father/uncle in big places to help them in the reference process How things are looking for us and what can be done to break this deadlock .Trolls, kindly stay away.

Most (not all) of the recruiters don't care about your career, and would want to close a position to make a quick buck. That this thread is alive and well since the time it was first created speaks to the chronicity of the problem. While some people focus on increasing their billings, others get a kick by swindling their own. Do not touch these guys with a bargepole. This firm is not even a worthwhile stepping stone.

Legal research is much more than google search. Includes the following:

1. Case law research: Finding the relevant case law is quite a task. One must exercise judgment to figure out what fact patterns are analogous and what are distinguishable, especially when the query is such that there are no direct precedents. In obscure cases, finding relevant case laws can test your limits of using the various softwares.

2. Commentaries: When faced with grey area, you need to cull out general principles from commentaries (especially statutory interpretation by GP Singh) and try to build arguments. Despite being something fundamental, most lawyers tend to forget basic principles as they progress in their career. Good senior advocates earn the big buck for their grasp over fundamentals.

3. Articles/Industry research: When dealing with a legal controversy, often one needs an understanding of industry practice as well. You need to know the business inside out if you have to litigate on that area. This is part of your legal research as well.

So yes, legal research isn't just google search.

The Calcutta HC has now taken suo moto cognisance. Meanwhile, The Wire has done a report where one of the survivors has told their reporters:

"They brought me into the party office, where a group of people were drinking. For the next one and half days, two of them tortured me in the party office itself. I was told that my husband would not ‘take me back’ after this and so I should stay on with the men in the room – that they would give me a government job eventually. They said they would place my husband’s severed head on my palms if I complained about what they had done to me,” said one woman.

The woman said that local girls and women are terrified of attention from them. “Any woman found attractive by a TMC leader would be brought to the party office and leaders would take turns to rape her. Your caste or religion won’t matter,” she added.

The question I have is this: [have any] ▮▮▮ human rights lawyers and intellectuals [protested] against this?

[Ed: Redacted culture-war flame-bait, rephrased as a question]

Dear Students,

I hope this email finds you well.

In light of the recent events that transpired on the University campus, it is imperative to understand the distinction between, being politically aware – i.e., knowing, reading, and understanding your politics, and doing politics – i.e., actively taking steps to propagate your political ideology in a way which is harmful to the social environment and the institutional values. Consequently, while students are encouraged to educate themselves vis-à-vis social, political and cultural issues, exhibiting your beliefs in any manner which is detrimental to the beliefs of others is absolutely prohibited. This is essential to fully take advantage of the egalitarian spaces made available on the University campus, which are meant to cater to the entire marketplace of ideas, and not to a few ideologies.

While JGU prides itself as an Institution of Eminence for providing safe academic spaces, at the same time we cannot ignore the inherent duty that this casts upon the JGU community for using such spaces in a dignified and responsible manner. This implies that while the academic spaces within JGU celebrate the right to free speech and expression, one cannot turn a blind eye towards the reasonable restrictions that must be upheld to ensure that the freedom of others is not violated. In this light, since its inception, the JGU administration has consciously kept the University space absolutely apolitical to cater to neutral academic discussions that explore all sides of an issue / debate(s).

In this regard, please note that:

1. Students are prohibited from officially associating the University with any political organization, even if such student(s) may be part of these organizations in their personal capacity. This is in sync with the fact that the University would not exercise any control over the actions of its students in their personal capacity, however, it is advisable that students exercise discretion and duty of care while they are within the University campus;

2. Students are prohibited from associating themselves with unofficial and unrecognized organizations seeking to do politics on the University campus, like the Safdar Hashmi Reading Circle, the Revolutionary Students League, and other similar student-groups. Consequently, if students wish to start a society, or student-run groups, then they must seek the approval of the relevant University authority;

3. Students organizing public events, including, but not limited to, public discussions, lectures, reading circles, and audio-visual exhibitions, would have an inherent responsibility of ensuring that they (a) take adequate precautions, including permission from the relevant University authority, to conduct such an event, and (b) do not conduct themselves in a manner that is derogatory of the personhood and participation rights of other University stakeholders, and undermines the safety and tranquillity on the University campus; and

4. Students are prohibited from publicly distributing and/or affixing posters, or other written media, that may be interpreted as disruptive of the safety and tranquillity of the University Campus. Accordingly, it is advisable that students get their posters, or other written media, vetted by the relevant University authority, before making it publicly accessible.

It goes without saying that any contravention of these regulations would be treated as a violation of the JGU Code of Conduct for students (“Code of Conduct”), and the concerned students would face appropriate disciplinary action under Clause 28 of the Code of Conduct.

Additionally, the violation of these regulations, in certain cases, may also constitute the violation of the law of the land, including the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and other laws preventing unlawful activities. It is crucial for the students to understand that in case they end up violating the law of the land, it would be difficult for the University authorities to provide any assistance to such students. Consequently, it is of paramount importance that the students understand the objective behind these regulations, and follow them diligently to ensure their own personal safety.

We seek your support in safeguarding and upholding the core institutional values of JGU. Thanking you for your assistance and cooperation.

Regards,

(Name redacted due to legally india policy.)

my mate i know the guy who got suspended personally. both his parents are commies. please stop speculating about things you have no clue about. and as far as disagreement goes, you can say most anything you want. but he specifically made an incitement of mass violence. that's still a major offence. i still don't appreciate how a fair process was denied to them, buy they deserve the punishment.

Want to get a job in US?

As an Indian lawyer you can write California bar exam without an US LLM

Prepare for that, get US visa, clear cal bar next year

Then start networking- you will land a job

Will cost you under 5 lakhs including travel to US

Also easier to do this with solicitor qualification exam for UK

Get your license first, then hunt for jobs, you can get remote jobs too

Tujhe kya problem hay bhai

You can go on the YouTube link and find a few hundred people from different backgrounds testifying that lawsikho courses helped them

Lawsikho is a community, a revolution not just a course company

Why do you have to insult and put down lawsikho

What did they do to hurt you

This is so true

Advice that works for law students in tier 1 cities just doesn’t apply to kids who are in small cities and towns

And these elitists will never acknowledge that

They are just worried about losing their competitive advantage since lawsikho levels the field

Another example of Jindal's RW shift: Jai Dehadrai invited to judge a moot. Why??

https://twitter.com/jai_a_dehadrai/status/1756638336599589132

Imagine you are 20 at the moment and will turn 21 in some middle month of this year. The CLAT exam is in December. By the term your result comes and the course starts you will almost turn 22. Then the 5 year course, occasional delays etc, after that considering that your day zero goes well you will land a job at 27. Are you willing to sacrifice a solid 9 years post 12th just so that you can earn around 12LPA in hand ?

Cliche advice but first slog at Tier 3 law firms for few years and then even move up the ladder or appear for CAT exam. You will not waste a single year taking gap shap. And IIM placement salaries are also more than that of NLUs even taking into account the difference in taxation. And after ESOPS start kicking in...then even more.

I work in a London law firm and want to stay here for the next years and was considering taking UK citizenship and Indian OCI, so I can travel back or work in India again in future to be closer to family. OCI seemed like a good option, but it's like it's not worth the paper its printed on anymore if you have any opinion which is not praising the regime.

https://article-14.com/post/how-the-modi-govt-is-trying-to-silence-critics-in-the-diaspora-by-banning-them-from-india-65c98c934673f

Why is this government so insecure that they want to control everything and can't stand any criticism? And would I be better off keeping my Indian citizenship and instead gambling with UK visas while I live here?

Lawsikho has no qualms with LLM, sells online LLM program along with texas a&m

https://blog.law.tamu.edu/blog/texas-am-law-offers-llm-program-to-serve-lawyers-from-developing-countries

And some more European universities

AKP will be VC of NUJS in Darjeeling/North Bengal and AniMazum will take over as NLU Asansol/Durgapur. These two campuses were proposed when PIB was allowed a second term, and then the plans got shelved due to SJA pressure and PIB lost the plot as well.

TMC may have proposed these two campuses for its own reasons. Irrespective of who comes in 2026, these two campuses are happening.

Even Ramanuj’s free content is way better than this crappy advice https://www.youtube.com/live/z9A7B2FL1pc?si=7jvZFECymYMYSgwo

Learn it for free, apply, put these elitists in their place, come share your review here on this thread after that

Not that much scope, unless you have shitloads of land. For paddy cultivation, you need water and will have to invest in machinary and it's upkeep. Paddy is also extremely labour intensive and you won't find the labour easily. Sometimes one labour could cost 500 per day even in low wage state like Bihar. After everything is done, you need to find a good market. In open market, the prices you get are extremely not worth the effort. Plus there's the risk of fire/floods/animals and other things. I'm just happy that I have to go through the daily grind in a law school rather than a field, no matter how shitty the job is.

Please read the above post and just search for Wadia Ghandy. Will tell you everything.

I think the best thing about lawsikho is freelancing

Is there any other edtech company that teaches you how to get freelance work?

I shared my story here, how as a CS and law grad lawsikho helped me to break into media and entertainment law https://youtu.be/CSck8XUozLM?si=kBKXzMvcivFr23DG

Always grateful to lawsikho

Not getting the opportunity isn't exactly attributable to students I believe. But no, people here are genuinely immersively dedicated towards judiciary. More than 100 students per batch join judiciary/ UPSC coaching 4th year onwards. My batchmates did too, so did the 2025 batch. Shelling out 3-4L for preparation cannot be attributed to lack of opportunities alone. We have in college competitive exam training centres and our curriculum is desgined in that way. Our teachers are judiciary teachers and that is how they also teach. It is very insufferable sometimes, I won't lie. Same competitive harping everywhere, but judiciary focused environment is the reason a lot of 200-300 mid ranks end up joining us. This is not to glorify my college in anyway, as corporate students also suffer the impact of this, but it is the truth.
