Thereโ€™s no policy against โ€œhookupsโ€ in JSA, the only condition is that two people from the same family canโ€™t be in the firm.
โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎThe senior member you are talking about is the most industrious member of the team. โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ Thatโ€™s the reason the partners are also siding with him.
You don't have to detail, but just point out the things you did to get this internship?

Mailed to HR, or what?and What's generally unique in your CV?

I'm interested in banking area as a whole!
Team members great, but not enough good quality work. Partner herself best to avoid if your circumstances permit.
Bhai delhi me kuch nhi rakha ha, try shifting to mumbai, delhi doesnt hire freshers across firms
How is it to intern under him? does he take 2nd year (sem 3) students (T-1 law school)
Hi, what did you end up choosing please do let us know? I am in the same situation
hello, can you suggest which institute is better for Phd between these two. Also is anyone here who is a research scholar in PU.
The office of the Advocate General has been a highly political office. Given that saffron reigns over Bengal now, who do you guys think is gonna be the next AG? It's gonna be a crucial turning point for the WB politico-legal scene it seems.
I would recommend Tax Team of AZB Delhi because they have a great work and most importantly good set of people to work with. The rainmaker is Mr. Deepak Chopra.
seems like the no of new partners will equal the no of exiting partnersโ€ฆ. Presents a double whammy for CSS.
The corporate advisory team is โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ, though Sachin handles litigation. Litigation team is decent but the firm does internal work of Mr. Dhir quite a lot than for other clients, including both the teams, so it may feel โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ in that aspect
I wonder why people from NLS like to look down upon colleges like NALSAR/NLUJ/NUJS which are known to be corporate centric. What is wrong with being corporate centric?
When I filled out the โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ summer internship form for June, I lied about my 10th- and 12th-grade marks, thinking it wouldn't matter. But now they're asking for both marksheets before commencement. Would this cause a problem? Please help
What is the pay scale for Labour and Employment team in Anomal Lega for freshers and do they even hire AO level?
Amongst the two, Gopal. Please donโ€™t go only because of LI hype around him though.
yeah they do apply to OCI, a fellow law student of mine is currently fighting a case in telangana HC for the same
KCO PPO interview/ post internship procedure?

Hi, I did a 4 month internship with KCO, my call back was extended and the feedback was positive however I wasnโ€™t told when Iโ€™ll have the interview scheduled. Any information is appreciated. Thank you:)
What really happened. How and why did it all start? They were doing so well. Seemed to have a good governance and emolument system in place and then suddenly all this drama.
Any tea on the same. They seem to be expanding massively across all levels in both offices.
It makes no difference to us. The Gen Z youth of India are overwhelmingly socialist, secular and liberal in their beliefs. NUJS students reject the BJP and we will stand by our position on who to invite to campus or not. Our party lost yesterday but our beliefs did not.
Whats the latest on old school firms like Mulla & Mulla and Crawford Bayley?
Heard in CB they've made a few Associate Partners/Partner & a Senior Partner! Can anybody confirm?
There are so many firms with partners having extramarital affair or fling. T2 and T3 is also common. In โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ 2 senior partners are having a fling and itโ€™s no secret! So no big deal. Unless itโ€™s JSA or Trilegal, you are good.
Rising Star, Future Star, Shinign Star, 30 under 30, 40 under 40, 50 under 50, evergreen lawyer and future head of disputes!
They have good work, have seen people switch to t1 after couple of years.
Thoughts on Rishabh Jogani's team at MRP Advisory? How is the work, culture, leaves, pay structure like?
Indeed. The gullible students will soon discover that the same professors who goaded them to cancel BJP speakers (while welcoming TMC speakers) will now be doing the very opposite.

These people are not rightists or leftists, they are SELF-ists.
Aquilaw and Fox & Mandal's disputes practice will die. Overall, GC work may go up in Kolkata over the next few years.
I was starting out my fourth year. standard timings are 9:30 to 6:30. but more often than not work makes it until like late evening- like 9,9:30. never more than that
I suppose either you haven't worked in big 4 or have been badly burned. Big 4 have much better culture than law firms any time, though individual exceptions on both sides would exist. However, in a big 4, you wont be able to appear in HC/SC unless they make you a retainer.
Apparently, theyโ€™ve now been served a legal notice for unpaid dues
Having personally interacted with the guy, his practice is more in the nature of commercial disputes/arbitration with some WCC work.

โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ.
Aquilaw and Fox Mandal (the DM one) may lose alot of work. So could Sinha and Co, since they seem to be aligned to the ruling regime (tmc) and since sinha and co used to do alot of matters for the state. But let's see
Considering you have never even met the guy and I certainly have that advantage over you, I would say that makes me at least more qualified as a troll compared to you.
And your comment is a random assumption that conflates an NLU degree with demonstrated scholarship.
The whole office has been laughing about this rumour ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
Writing random op-eds about generic stuff doesn't make one an expert.
I disagree that Fox will not be affected. Certainly, they will suffer some damage. But they will survive, as they have legacy and decent base of other clients. But yes, Aquilaw will have to shut shop and possibly face a lot more, given that Sanjay Basu was rated by the ED.
During the glory days of NUJS, the vice chancellors were top notch academics and the people on the governing bodies were eminent luminaries of national stature. Hopefully, we will return to those days now.
Women bullies are all types. I know a sharp woman who used her guy friends to pull the trigger while keeping up a sweet front.

The minute you feel the puppet strings and manipulation - vacate the scene. I got some lazy apologies later. Most of them are cowards.
Update 2: Had a second round of interview. Did decent enough. Not sure if I'll land the job. Will update further, cheers!
Going through it- escalated it internally. If need be - at the risk of my job - will escalate it within BCD/SILF/writ!
Either you are an intern (who didn't get a job) or you are an outsider providing some high level masala (which may be even not true). I am guessing which outsider will have such level of granular knowledge.
By now he should've been an equity partner after 20 years or so
As far as NUJS is concerned, you will see a lot of people simply change their ideology. Remove their old social media posts as well. ๐Ÿ˜… Chotichata to Ram Bhakt.
What great scholarship has NLUD produced in any domain in the last 14 years since its inception? Not having domicile quota is not making their graduates stand apart from the other top NLUs at all in any field.
looking fwd to interning with Axiom5 soon so any tips/suggestions/comments welcomed wrt to the above
ikr, truth hurts some people but when โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ people with ranks 10 times yours are sitting in the same classroom as you, even though they've had the same coaching and may even be more privileged than you in terms of money
Why can't you say nothing if you can't say something helpful? Have you learned nothing about responsible behaviour through all your years of studying and perhaps practicing, law?
I know the people at that team and the kind and quality of work they do (exclusively merger control fed by corporate teams). By no means would I call them a "highly exclusive" or a "Dreamteam"
What is the timing for the firm? And which year were you in when u did the internship
whats the pay for the Delhi Office also switching to T1 is easy? Anyone who has done it
I did not write this comment. But I do not understand why it was downvoted. Can somebody who downvoted this explain why they did?
Troll post. There is no caste discrimination at NLUs. On the contrary, the elite NLU crowd is extremely left-wing. Also, in most NLUs half the seats are reserved for lower castes anyway.
Was Paul Craig particularly brutal in his email where he rejected any prospect of ever supervising your DPhil project? If so, my sympathies, I have seen him and he can be pretty brutal. or did he just leave you on read, embittered and ancient by now?
I am from 2026 batch and I had done my internship during January this year, however, I have not heard back from HR. How many percentage of interns do they extend callback to since some of my other mates could not get one as well?
Great place to learn. Salary is at par with tier 1 firms and some very interesting work - both WCC work and international arbitrations.
Well, well, well... a BJP sweep. Will our absentee VC now come back and form bonds with the new General Council and Executive Council --- which will now be dominated by the saffron ecosystem?
Join AZB Delhi, it gives you clarity on what an associate isnโ€™t required to do.
Not that difficult, one per partner. And if not that, will gaslight couple of them into thinking they aren't good enough. Surprised that hasn't happened yet.
Heard bombay partner works out of a wework and expects juniors to sit with him and workโ€ฆtoxic place
Yeah majority of their work is done by full time interns if I may say so
high chances imo, rank doesnt matter that much, only helps with shortlisting, i have seen people with those ranks get CAM/SAM at day z, its all about your performance in the interview room
Managing partner and good for nothing banking partner seem to have lost their marbles. more exits incoming.
Major nepotism in the disputes promotion at least. ET featured only 1 partner promotion in particular - was he/she the only deserving one?. What can you say?
NUJS doesn't need either from the TMC or the government. All that's necessary is for them to be left alone.
Mistake one: Making it obvious that you use AI to draft even simple questions like this one.
I would say with your credentials and experience, you would be perfect for NDA. I am not sure of AZB tax though
