Hi I’m a student at SLSP and here’s a pro tip to anyone thinking about joining. Don’t. They don’t even give you sufficient breaks for internships, the bare minimum. They torture you in every way possible. Management doesn’t care about the students’ grievances. Student welfare committee is useless. Nothing is encouraged here.

We have online classes going on DURING internship break, and our first internals will be based on what was taught online. Break started mid jan. Online classes, less than 10 days later. Internals? 2 per day, starting 14th feb. So if you landed a really good internship for feb like I did, youre fucked. There is no scope for growth in this college guys, don’t make the same mistake. They dont encourage mooting, interning, nothing. Oh and most of the professors are awful too👍🏽

The above comment is as mathematically inaccurate as can be. Averages are not as simplistic as you make it sound. 90% of people in a sample can also be average if there is not a huge variance in IQ data. Which is in fact the case. Please read about bell curves. Most people are near enough the mathematical average to be considered statistically average. Please don't opine about mathematics if you didn't study it after grade 10. Lawyers anyway have a bad name for themselves when it comes to numbers. Don't propagate the stereotype.

If people are so unhappy with the way things are, the apparently horrible working conditions, bonded labour, no work-life balance and low pay (even t1 salaries seem like golden handcuffs), then why isn't there any action against it? Should there be a collective effort? Collective action seems like a step in the right direction. Unionising also seems like a good step. What do labour laws say about this and what can be changed?

The students of BSc LLB, if good, will have equal placement opportunities as the BA LLB good students, especially because other than the social science subjects, the rest of the law syllabus is the same for both. In fact, BSc students may stand a better chance because of having higher CGPA owing to their science subjects over social science. They will also have additional opportunities like in the field of IP owing to the BSc degree.

My wife and I are litigation lawyers and are new to Delhi. We were researching nice, green neighborhoods (within Delhi only), and in that Civil Lines popped out. It’s an unusual choice - sure, but it doesn’t look like a cluttered, Dukaan neighbourhood like Janpura, Defence Colony, Lajpat, or Amar Colony. Are there any residents who can throw light on the cost of living expenses there and travel time to DHC with the new Pragati Maidan Tunnel?

I still have crippling social anxiety and am a year down the line in a t1 firm. I was in a same spot as you back then and was literally sweating through my blazer and bumbling throughout when I gave my interview. But if you know your stuff, it won't matter to them. It's hard and heavy on you I'm sure, but don't let interviews define you. I would also encourage you to get help, seek counseling. It has helped me but it takes time, and money too but don't let that deter you. But I can't tell how you might be if you get into a law firm as I'm going through the experience right now. But so far I've seen that being a social person helps a lot because you'll be respected or admired if you are. I would just urge you to focus on your mental health even if you get or don't get a t1 job. Honestly, I know coming from me, it isn't a lot but getting a t1 job is really not a parameter of career success in life. I've seen people come from t2s and t3s as well and they tend to thrive usually far better in t1s.

every single word on the offer document (i.e. DRHP, RHP and Final) is drafted basis data which is given by the client company/bankers. That data which continues to run into thousands of files, zips, folders and what not - is more often than not given in a haywire form; and its the duty of the law firm to first segregate the data basis different chapters in the offer document and then begin the drafting exercise post segregation. This segregation process along with preparing a master index of chapter by chapter particulars is known as "backup work" which is the heart and sole of ECM. This kind of work has made thousands leave this practice area; and the people I know who work at the best ECM teams crib about their shitty job (which for most part is backups) that pays them a fortune.

We have a GBM today at 5 pm where a resolution detailing the issues and demands shall be passed and sent to the VC. We are going to protest if he does not meet our demands. We are also reaching out to NLS alums for support. The messiah has connections and it is not easy for us to reach the Executive Council. We do need support from the NLS alums.

I do not have a lot of tips for you, I am afraid, other than asking you to go through the basic textbook for each subject, make detailed case lists and solve as many mocks as you can. JRF also requires a luck factor. However, with regard to your PhD issue, I can tell you that several top NLUs, including NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS and NLUD offer University Research Fellowships to some of their PhD students, which are monetarily equivalent to the JRF. Other NLUs may also offer those, I know for certain that these four do. Given that you have already cleared NET, you just need to come up with a robust proposal and clear their interviews. You will have to do occasional university work other than your own research, but it is not a bad deal overall. You may give it a try.

Lol, IPM at IIM Indore is hardly an achievement---do you even realize how incredibly ignorant you are??? What would you say to folks who left T1 NITs, SRCC, St Stephens, even NLUs to get into IIM I??? That they're foolish??? I won't even bother to argue with you now on this.

Maybe an MBA from IIM ABC might reach the level of tier-1 NLUs----just one advice, don't open your mouth in front of sensible folks from either ABC or T1 NLUs, you'll make a fool out of yourself. If you really wanna compare, you'd have at least 15 great B schools that would undoubtedly tower above your T1 NLUs. And i am not talking about the highest packages...because that way even a run of the mill engineering college can be called better than a T1 NLU which obviously isn't true.

Just one advice, go out of your pathetic little bubble, talk to folks from different fields and you'll get a better idea about where you stand.

Take home means in hand, after tax deduction and contributions to funds, which remains your money. So if after 6 years, you get 55-60, you'll fist have to pay tax on it. So effectively your earning is say 50 after tax. What an employed guys gets 5.5 in hand, it's 66 after taxes plus ~ 10 lacs pa in fund contributions so 76. It's still 50% higher mate. But yeah, we all choose our poison so let's just drink it.

Nobody will teach you every section of every act. The more important things you learn are the principles and methods, so that when you are presented with a problem you know where to look and how to look. So yes you will learn the important sections and cases, but also how to usethem.

They have limited resources so they had to choose one. Same question could have been asked if they chose any of the others as well. Nothing prevents any other member of the UN from picking any other issue which they think is relevant and bringing it to the ICJ.

Gambia set the precedent with Myanmar a few years back.

Paisa zyaada bete ke education pe dalte hai

Bete ko mehenge colleges mein dalte hai

Bete ko additional tuitions lagwate hai

Beta bina padhe drop le, phir aur mehenga tuition lagwate hai

Bete ko donation deke Masters karwate hai

Abroad janeka first priority bete ko dete hai

... WEIRD

Yes. But in today's day and age it highly depends on marketing. Look at MBA chaiwala. How he's expanding and has atleast one store in major shopping malls in major cities. After a certain point of time every job becomes a business. And the one who can manage employees, land, capital and machinery will be rich. Read desi stories of haldiram, bikanerwala, MBA chaiwala and all the local restaurants that have expanded. You'll get an idea.

Can anyone scan the list and confirm?

This is not true. Chennai is witnessing an influx of first-hand GC work in recent years and GC practice has started booming - otherwise no Biglaw would even consider setting up a base. Been in close touch with the Chennai market for long to assert this.

Khaitan Chennai is not just Assentio Legal. When KCO was set up, Vivek Sriram also moved from Mumbai with his clientele to head the Chennai office. They also added Pramod from SAM Delhi to their partnership. Both Vivek and Sriram are great people to work with and have solid GC work which is better than even a few teams from other offices put together.

The same goes for Aarthi Sivanandh (ex-JSA. now a senior partner heading AZB Chennai) and Kavita Vijay (ICUL Chennai).

While the pay is not comparable to other locations (there is still a minimum of 30-40% gap), the work has surely become on par. Please look at the credentials and the nature of work being done recently by the partners in Chennai before dissuading.

"Secondly, most likely you as a lawyer won't get placed in such firms and end up in consulting"

Bhai bura nahi manna hai. To the best of my knowledge case studies which are used by firms to select candidates requires good enough math skills. Not calculus level, but ability to interpret charts, make number based decision etc. And this we are talking at top B schools where everyone is good in math and english.

Still MBB firms hire less from these institutes. I just find if very casual types that since you are a lawyer, and might not get into iBanking or PE, consulting toh rakha hi hua hai. I mean try solving some case studies and see kitna paani me ho. And also see how many law background people in India are working in MBB firms as front end consultants. Most are CA/Engineer/Econ grads.

No offence, sometimes I am truly amazed to see this law superiority bubble. I mean without competition, people have declared that we have the best articulation skills, we will anyway get consulting profiles without asking how many Lawyers are working as front end strategy consultants in MBB in India. Aur jo non lawyers hai, woh jhak marne ke liye MBA school gye. MBB is the dream of the top people across B schools.

Coming to salaries, I dont know much about it so cant comment. And this is a law vs MBA debate so no need to bring in Tech salaries. But, the reason i think law partners earn money, is because law is specialised field.

Meaning i will have to spend time doing nothing except it to gain expertise. Most MBA grads join startups, become generalists, try different things. So, i think this is a huge trade off.

As far as the iBanking route is concerned, join MBB. Stay for 5y. Now exit to PE. You might get a chance.

Anyway, all the best. Main chala.

do llm from the nlu in your hometown, llm is a joke at nlus but you get the degree, then enrol in a phd and sit over it for 5 years, at the end submit some stupid stuff and get a degree

if you dont succeed at your comp exam then come to the nlu where you did your llm and teach sh£$

As a capital markets lawyer, I always wonder that while SEBI scrutinises offer documents extremely strictly, they never promote retail investors to actually read these documents. I can guarantee that not even 3-4% of retail investors read the DRHP/RHP before investing in IPOs. A lot of them don’t even know these documents exist, the markets in this country are running on vibes and people are buying any shit that you place in front of them. This is not how sophisticated markets run.

Sometimes I wonder while we are killing ourselves to find back-ups for every single line in that offer document, in the larger scheme of things it hardly matters because the retail guy will bid for it anyway because some youtuber or “financial influencer” said so. What’s the point of so much scrutiny then? I understand this might seem like a rant, but I genuinely don’t understand that markets anymore. IPOs have become the new F&O. Great for incompetent “new-age” promoters to dump their badly run businesses on unwitting fools, who for now are making money but eventually someone will be left holding a bag full of shit.

Hey! You are missing the bigger picture of doing a foreign LLM. And it is not just you, but I see this at many places where people shit on the idea of doing a foreign LLM necessarily attaching it to the idea of getting a job abroad. So, let me give this a try.

First, answer this for yourself: Being a lawyer or a law student how are you different as a lawyer than a normal person who can google and read English? Before you entered law school, did you know about contract law or civil procedure code or, let's say, the basics of the constitution of India? I am sure not. What law school gave you was a platform that enabled you to learn about these legal texts and their jurisprudence to understand them, which made or will make you a lawyer.

Similarly, a foreign LLM helps you take your academic and professional experience further to make you a better lawyer. You'd learn concepts that you might not have even heard of in your undergraduate studies.

Let me draw a parallel from Lage Raho Munnabhai to explain this better (spoilers ahead). Our beloved Munnabhai could see Gandhi answering questions about what Munnabhai had already read about but could not answer the questions that he did not know. So we are able to think within the limits of our knowledge base. So, if we expand it, we will be able to think more efficiently and effectively.

Now, you could argue that you can also get that with experience. Absolutely true. But you don't get the experience of the entire legal system by just one case or, let's say, 10 cases. You learn as you go. What if you had a ladder that helped you get that experience in one go?

In addition to your academic experience, it also helps you develop other important aspects about you, as well. For instance, it teaches you how to network, improve your presentation skills, boost your confidence in a room full of strangers, etc. All of them combining in to make you a better and a confident lawyer.

TLDR: The answer is simple, if you are looking to become a better lawyer, the foreign LLM will help you do that but if you are just taking a myopic view of it converting into a foreign job, then more often than not it will be met with disappointment. A foreign LLM need not necessarily get you a comfortable life abroad, but it does help you individually in the long run. It all depends upon the motivation behind the foreign LLM and what you want to make of it.

NLUD isn't left liberal. We give equal space to every perspective and diverse opinions. Nobody has to be afraid of speaking their mind here. They may get judged by others who differ, but their voices will never be stifled. For instance, we just made Aniruddha Rajput, a long time Right supporter and India's youngest representative in the global arena as our distinguished professor.

Even if such people exist, they've only done law as a degree and have shifted to wealth management early on their career, mostly right after college after doing cfa or mba. You won't find them here.

My opinion: not possible unless you come from such a family business (broking/wealth management) and are able to overtake it. Breaking into PE is much more harder than big law and especially hard if you're a lawyer turned manager, there would always be 1000 more better options available in the market over you

Hi, in 2022 August a F corporate lawyer's video had gone viral on social media wherein she was abusing security guard of her gated township society. The woman lawyer was identified as ex-DSK/Luthra working in Labor & Employment law area.

This was the earlier post about the incident -

https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/236345-woman-arrested-for-abusing-security-guard-in-viral-video-is-a-lawyer

Could you tell me if she is still working ? What happened to her ? I am just curious to find out what happens after such a big incident in career.

Will LI readers stop romanticizing this couple ? Along with this over-glorified couple 56 other advocates have been designated.

I am 200% sure this reiteration of name of this couple along with few other names is deliberately being done either by one of their juniors , or their bootlicker or they themselves do it (not to mention how hungry he is for attention).

To me, the greatest good news is to see name of simple man "Pijush Kanti Roy" , Archana Pathak Dave , Liz Matthew and NS Nappinai among others.

Supreme Court conferred senior designation to 56 New Advocates. These people have been practising for a minimum tenure of 20 years. A lot of them are first generation in the profession and worked hard and stayed in their own lane and not swated by the next shiny big thing. Glad to see their hard work being recognized but I am a bit sad. I am sad that what difference would it make in lives of these advocates at the fag end of their career ? Ultimately life is a short ride . Many of them are well above 50. They worked for peanuts , through sun & rain all through their youth only to get big bucks at the fag end of their career.

So, do you have to born into a nepotistic family to earn good in litigation space ?

What are your thoughts on this surmise ?

Starry Night,
