I read somewhere that once you clear the AOR exam and are admitted to the Supreme Court as AOR, you have one months time to employ a registered clerk. How much is the salary that is usually paid to a registered clerk? Is this requirement followed in practice? Let's say someone with no matters becomes an AOR, will that person have to pay the clerk without earning anything? If there are not matters, what will the clerk do?

No income tax relief announced but the finance minister thanked the taxpayers for paying tax. 🤡

Thank you so much Madam. I will continue to work as your loyal slave and surrender half my income to your government, so that crorepati farmers, loan defaulters and netas can live in comfort. 🙏

BO. 2023, got a job in a boutique corp/commercial firm.I had a good corp experince behind me, publications and courses, so getting a job was not that hard, though I'm not saying i didn't sweat it out but compared to my peers, it was a breeze. Worked for 6 months and left due to family issues. Remained unemployed for 2 months, joined a company as a legal researcher and currently looking for jobs in Law.

bro don't come here. class timings aren't that big of a deal, since some days you'll have classes right from 8am, some days your first class might be at 12pm, it depends. Most professors are chill, no strict dress code as such. We used to have classes section-wise, but now they usually merge 2-3 sections (about 100-250 students) in one hall and teach. Highly unproductive environment if you actually want to listen and make notes. "Culture and daily life" eh depends on the kind of person you are. I genuinely believe joining this college was a horrible mistake but yeah, it's upto you. There's no satisfactory college life here.

Hi, I'm looking to get into telecom and media laws, can someone recommend a good telecom and media law commentary for Indian law? The communication law commentary of Vikram Raghavan is a bit outdated and doesn't have much on AGR and AUSPI/ISPI judgements. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

True. An MBA, a CA and even a bcom will always surpass a lawyer in the long term. People still don't understand that our really speciality is litigation. Courts are our bread and butter. That's where we need to focus on. That's where we get the most respect from the public. In corporate you're just another clerk.

As a law student/graduate/lawyer, you cannot and should not compare yourself with any other profession because the minimum requirement gives us the job, which loads of people are not willing to accept, i.e litigation. Stop chasing law firms and sitting at home if you don't get a law firm job. Instead take your degree, enroll, clear aibe and start practicing. We are fortunate enough to have a bar exam that's so low that it should even be called a bar. Simply start practicing.

Idhar tune likh diya, it means your gut is telling you that this relationship is not meant to have a destination.

Aur jis chiz ko manzil tak nahi pahucha sakte usse ek sundar mod par chorh dena chaiye.

Get out of it without causing trauma to yourself and the girl.

A gpa above 5 is safe for law firms. Though people with a gpa just above 3 have also got placed in the past. The safe gpa this time around was around 4.5-4.6 , though people above it including above 5 were not placed but they were exception. For training contract it would be much higher. There is no minimum gpa required to sit for placements and there is no minimum gpa to get a job as well but yeah just try to make it above 5. Usually firms don't see your transcripts so they won't know how many repeats you got. They just know your gpa by the what you mentioned in the cv which is vetted by the rcc.

I'm planning to do law after I graduate from my BA this year. As such, I've been looking at some of the premier institutions for the 3 year LLB.

Symbiosis seems relatively easy to get into compared to other places like ILS, GLC, NLSIU, etc.

Any reviews for their programme?

SO nehru, ambedkar, gandhi, all of them had great advanced degrees and studied a lot. The slogan for Ambedkar was "Educate, Agitate, Organize". Its just untrue that the project of education is not one of national building. And that prioritising protesting (with likely little enough impact) over education is the way to go at all.

Same happened with me. I am a male associate at a T1 and was nice to a female intern. Then she started getting too close and we hooked up. I fell in love with her while she used my power to get a PPO and then left me. She was obviously in it for sex and using me to get a job. Is this rape?

NLS ahead of HKU, CUHK, Tsinghua, Renmin etc. LMAO. Loving the delusion in this thread. Have you ever been to any of these institutes, or just 'trust me bro'? Literally searching people on Google Scholar will tell you how many lightyears ahead the other schools are compared to NLS. NLS has no global leading academics on any subject, which HK, China and Japan have. Singapore is a league apart anyway.

I’m a second year student from a t1 nlu and I’m sure I want to do litigation (perhaps delve deeper into corporate and civil litigation with an additional emphasis on ipr). I wish to know what should I do in these remaining 3 years so that it helps me, basically how do I plan and picture these upcoming 3 years (till the end of college)

Surprised to see no discussion on LI about this? This place seems to be only concerned with with salary and law firm talks nowadays. Lets see how well can LI engage discussions on actual law.

Concise books are supposed to be short notes of sorts, of these larger commentaries. If you want something to look through quickly, say before an exam, a concise would be better. If you wanted to gain clarity on a niche issue, a commentary would be better. I don't think it's very practical (or helpful) to summarize commentaries, except perhaps that you might remember it better if you make short notes

Hi Guys this a fellow A1 i.e done with PQE of 2.5 years currently working at a established boutique T2/3 firm however in the same practice area I have a bunch of interviews coming with few T1 firms . Help if I should take the salary they offer their A0 band see the A0 salary is almost double of my current at the T3 firm. However I find it a bit disrespectful coz I have a substantial amount of experience to the point independently handling work that even SAs handle at T1 in my current firm. Would the Partners or the T1 firms open to accelerated promotions if the work is appreciated. What all are the possibilities in terms of negotiations with respect to the salary . Help would be extremely appreciated.

Is law going to be massively hit by everything going digital ? If you think about the next decade or two...most of our careers will be beginning or in the middle..will digital technology and data become so relevant that it will cause problems in our job ? As in will automation replace us ? What about career in policy or research ? With the advent of chatgpt like machines will jobs at academia and research centres take a hit ? What about clerical work at LPOs and firms ? Is it wise to take up courses like data analytics or ai related course looking at the next 2 decades ??

The comments of it being top heavy is very true. The attrition level here is just crazy - due to better opportunities. It’s a big team concerned with their work, with no loyalty whatsoever because there is hardly any rapport built.

Caution: some people may seem unhinged and it had become a pretty normal sight for the team. One of them is given special treatment only because of her/his connections with the partner.

She was just nice to him when he was an intern. She appears to be just a year or two older which is hardly 'senior'. He decided to hit on her since she was being nice, and quite obviously didn't make it clear that he was just in it to fuck around. There are many kinds of taking advantage before getting to rape and many kinds of assholes that aren't rapists. Calling someone promiscuous is a classic case of slut shaming. Read a book some day and you'll understand these words have meanings that won't go away if you sneeringly dismiss them as 'woke' and 'knee jerk'.

Which is the toughest practice area in terms of technicalities? Is it M&A/PE/VC, IPR, TMT, Competition, Employment Law, Indirect Tax, Capital Markets or Disputes?

I feel like Indirect Tax is the hardest practice areas because of the technicalities involved in it and the huge volume of circulars and regulations that keep coming.

Bro, I've been in a similar situation before. My advice to you is to try to handle this calmly and ensure you're not emotionally attached to her. If you are, there's bad news for you – make sure to detach yourself first. My own relationship ended abruptly on similar grounds, resulting in one of the worst heartbreaks I've ever experienced. Things escalated to the point where I even got a restraining order from the police, all this happened after the girl had expressed her desire to marry me.

P.S: Please be very very careful and control your emotions, also make sure that she is not a covert narcissist, distance yourself from slowly.

Is Anand and Anand a good firm for a career, or is it mainly a stepping stone to independent practice? Is partner compensation at Anand and Anand as competitive as Tier 1 firms, or, like some family-run enterprises, is it less than a PA’s compensation at a full-service T1? Please share numbers if you know them.

So I quit my tier 2 firm around 2 years ago to join a tier 1. Let's just say I am not having the best time here and drained beyond limit. The partner at my ex firm and I got talking on linkedin and he asked me if I am willing to come back. The only reason for leaving that firm was that I was getting to move to a t1 in what seemed like a good team. Please advise.

Only one person has been taken as Professor (Management) and two people have been offered Associate Professor (Law) positions. Out of these two, one is an internal faculty member who was anyway due for promotion while the second candidate has been teaching at NLU Jodhpur and is unlikely to join NALSAR. This nowhere near the number of faculty positions that were advertised for higher levels such as Associate Professor and Professor. However, to be fair to SKDR, he has appointed nearly 20 people as Assistant Professor over the last year, if we count across Law, Management, Economics, Political Science and contractual positions. This has helped the institution somewhat in recovering from the numerous faculty departures that have taken place. It is a little early to judge the performance of the teachers who have joined during the current academic year.

Oh ha, Wadia Ghandy is known for this. My friend interned there in corporate/M&A for 6 months - all unpaid.

3 months non-assessment internship.

He was good enough to get a 3 month call back assessment internship.

1 junior partner and 2 senior associates liked him enough to want him to join but the corporate/M&A managing partner blocked it and asked him to do another 3 months (unpaid again) of assessment and then they would decide.

He did not go back.

Lots of stories like this one.

Hello Legally India folks. Young Associates here kindly take a moment of your time and think about the day you got your offer letter, think about the day you got interviewed.

Share your experiences, including what type of questions they asked in the interview and how did you answer, how did your CV look like during that period, how did you feel on getting selected , etc.

Agree with the above but in part. While you would not be able to learn any 'law', you will be able to closely observe the doyen on a daily basis for atleast a month. This exposure, quite early in your career, will shape your thinking and work ethics.

There is one caveat though - since you will not be able to comprehend 95% of the things happening there, you may become disinterested. If that happens, you will not be able to absorb anything. You need to really be eager to soak everything even if you find it incomprehensible (or boring).
