A one-sided article by the Telegraph. Does not say that she used the word ch****a in class on more than one occasion. Even if I take her point that the word means fool in Haryana, it is not meant to be used in class by a teacher. Also, outside the Hindi belt, the word has only one meaning (the vulgar one). My good friend is a Bengali from Kolkata and he confirmed this. He said that no one in Bengal understands the word to mean fool, like in Haryanvi. So she should also be sensitive to students outside North India

P.S. Sameena herself is from Maharashtra, not Haryana!!

people don't mention pay because, mmm, they don't pay! fyi, I know several delhi and mumbai lawyers who pay twice or thrice that amount. Just because none paid you that much doesn't mean 50k per month is unrealistic. besides, i interned with the lawyer you are referring to and from whatever knowledge i have he has over the last few years moved from hardcore litigation to a niche tax practice involving transactional work. In fact, I'd think 50k per month is far less given the kind of money he mints and his rigorous working style. he never mentioned he needed someone for court work anyway...

Some comments:

1. Indirect tax laws don't really mirror other countries and doesn't make you mobile. In tax, transfer pricing is uniform amd will make you mobile, followed by international tax then other part of direct tax and then Indirect tax.

2. CAs are present in both DT and IDT with good hold. However, lawyers are also present in both. With GST, there's a lot of data related litigations, so are better handled by person who did compliance.

Tbh now in GST compliance is becoming a damn headache, GSTR-1,3B,9,9C. Reconcile this, reconcile that. Even a lot of notices that come these days are differences between two different data points. R1-3B, TDS 3B etc. god save this mundane cantankerous field. Idk how and what level litigation will be there in valuation,classification & place of supply. There is like peak doom and gloom about the future of IDT practice atleast with people I've been talking to.

Op here. I slightly disagree with you. I have had the opportunity to deal with Companies act and FEMA while working on Projects M&A and Project Finance. Having said this, i would agree that i have not dealt with SEBI regulations at all.

However, i must point out that projects is not limited to just electricity act, but also deals with EPC agreements, supply agreements, facility agreements etc. what say now ?

I am a first year law student and I have created a new account on Twitter. I wanted to know which lawyers I should follow there for learning purposes? I don't mind reading political comments once in a while, so they could be from any political party or have any political ideology. Thank you.

How is 8 lakhs unrealistic? Just because most lawyers don't pay that much? Instead of appreciating, you are saying he is collecting email ids. What will he do with the email ids. Lol, you guys don't deserve to be paid! I remember someone trolled karuna nundy on Twitter months back saying she doesn't have work. People troll indira jaising, prashant bhushan, ashwani kumar, manish tewari etc in a similar fashion. I'm sure you are doing all this for political reasons!

Hi, Trust me, it's a game-changer! Move back asap. You can be the 46th dynamic lawyer at Tatva Hyderabad, and you'll be at the forefront of providing cutting-edge legal advice and services, making waves locally and nationally.

Unmatched pay, your profile shining on the firm website—it's the Tatva Hyderabad way. Sure, you might get some LinkedIn love from curious folks wanting to know about the stellar work culture. But isn't that a sweet problem to have?

Don't let competitors' grudges cloud the Tatva experience. Take the plunge. Your journey to success begins here! 🚀

yeah, something seemed suspicious about that post. he asked applicants to send him a mail but didnt even drop his email address in the post. also, this is some who loves complaining about how other seniors dont pay their interns and juniors well, that's what his last post was about so he knows what the sensitivities and struggles in the profession are, might just be exploiting those sentiments to chase clout.

they CAN. But the wise ones won’t. Especially in Mumbai. I personally know many partners who live lavishly albeit in rented flats which makes Sense in the current economic scenario. Buildings where you’ll find law firm partners residing include- World towers, avighna, trump towers, crescent bay, nathani heights, beaumonde towers, et al.

Why? She is qualified and has done research in the fields of sexuality, gender and law, which is exactly what she was teaching. It is a different question whether this content/course should be in the syllabus at all, but if we accept its inclusion, she is well placed to teach it regardless of whose daughter she is

I call BS on this claim. Can you name a single faculty member at NLUJ, past or present, who had the same job at NUJS, but left it for NLUJ? I can mention as many as three people who had left NLUJ for NUJS though. Not sure whether the Mod will allow names here, though this was public record. PR, SB and AG.

Tax litigations mostly get settled at the level of Tribunals - ITAT in case of direct tax, and CESTAT/VAT/CSTAA in case of indirect taxes. Appeals from the Tribunals to High Court/Supreme Court mostly get upheld by these courts. Therefore, the real tax litigation happens at the Tribunal level. Interestingly, the direct tax litigation space before the quasi judicial authorities and the ITAT is largely CA driven for two primary reasons: (I) they have the client’s file and are reluctant to engage a lawyer: and (ii) CAs generally have a better grip on the issues arising out of tax compliances as they are directly involved in the compliances and have been trained to prepare books of accounts and undertake audits. For these reasons you will rarely see a lawyer solely involved with direct tax litigation. 90% of the appearances before the ITAT is by CAs.

On the other hand, Indirect tax litigation space is mostly driven by lawyers as the issues are less procedural/compliances and more substantive in nature. Further, indirect tax litigation is broad as it covers GST, VAT (alcohol and petroleum), central and state excise, customs, and trade remedies. Indirect tax laws in India mostly mirror the indirect tax laws in countries such as Australia, Canada, EU, etc and hence have a universal colour. This makes a practitioner geographically mobile.

Also, while Delhi is the hub for tax litigation given the presence of the Tribunals and quasi judicial bodies and the Supreme Court. Bombay and Bangalore can also be considered as there’s a huge demand for good tax lawyers in these places.

Depends on the choices/opportunities you have right now. I started out in one of the NBFC with 20k and after 5 years, I am around 14-15 CTC (obviously I jumped ships) which is a good pay scale for in-house. Please don't compare this with law firm, since in law firm your starting package will be around 14-15 CTC. I chose in house because I was pursuing my three year LLM from DU along with CS course. Also, I needed time for me as well since I play for major corporations in cricket league. This won't be happening if you are in law firm. Please check with people in IIFL regarding their work culture and stuff. Set your priorities regarding the work culture where you wish to work.

She’s India’s Claudine Gay. Are attacks against her motivated by politics ? Yes. Does that make them

Untrue or unworthy of being taken seriously ? No.

If you get beyond political tribalism- you realise this person had no business teaching law students. And she had no business at all teaching them that nonsense bumble stuff. She got the job because she was someone’s daughter- why shouldn’t she lose the job because she’s someone’s daughter?

Yeah, I heard that they're extremely crowded. But someone mentioned that the first-class compartments and AC locals are not that crowded. So was considering travelling by those.

Plus, I checked OLA and Uber. The one-way fare for cabs is around 350, which comes to 600-700 in a day. And there are no autos as well.

If you check out his linkdin, you'll find he's from nujs and did his master's from kings College. While this doesn't necessarily mean he's good at what he does, but it is a reasonable assumption. Next, look at his experience at the bar. He has been practicing for close to 12 years now.

If you don't think a competent attorney with 12 years of practice and presumably good connections can offer you a 8lpa salary you are grossly mistaken.

Ofc it could be a ploy, but it could also not be one.

The person who wrote your law school doesn't matter is so oblivious. The only way to reach at the pinnacle is only through litigation for a person coming from that background. Law degree from a reputed university in India gives you privilege of not only to enter in the law firms but also in some big chambers. On the other side there is only litigation which is already full of nepos.

slightly difficult. being a projects lawyer, you are unlikely to have a grasp of general corporate laws. every in house lawyer needs to understand the basic of companies act, FEMA and SEBI regulations. little in house roles require deep knowledge of PNGRB regs or Electricity Act. you can still consider, but are likely to play second fiddle to the GC, who will be a generalist.

Kudos to the Telegraph for calling out such persecution. Prof Dalwai must immediately approach the Supreme Court to have it quashed. It’s also worth remembering that she is the daughter of a Congress MP who has always opposed the communal agenda of the BJP (Hussain Dalwai) so that is another reason for targeting her.

In later years you can have that cgpa, moot, adr, batch rank and so on in your CV while seeking for an internship, but how do one get his/her first internship as one might be having very little relevant knowledge of law that would benefit any company/law firm/boutique/lawyer. What are the places one should apply in? I was actually thinking to go to the high court of Delhi and enquire about internships from a few lawyers. Is that a sound move? I don't have any sort of contacts as I'm only in first year. I need advice.

RMLNLU, Lucknow. The so called seniors (they prefer to be addressed as "foundational faculty") are always trying to downgrade the junior faculty (all of them have now a minimum of 10 years standing at RML). These senior teachers treat RML as their fiefdom and want to run it as an Afghanistan's Talibani madrasa. The junior faculty try to innovate and upgrade the skills but senior TLC faculty "intimidate", discourage and ridicule their young colleagues.

I have interned with an SC judge recently and don't think this is a necessary hurdle. Go through the roster and find a judge who is working on subject areas you have demonstrable competency in. Your work will consist of case briefs and occasional research tasks/proofreading of judgements in some cases so in your cover letter, mentioning how you'd be able to do these sorts of tasks well will help along with the usual fluff about how inspired you are by the judge in question, how some judgement of theirs (preferably not a controversial one) was well-reasoned and furthered your understanding of the law etc. Publications and other proofs of research experience can make up for the lack of litigation experience.

Also, apply to the newly elevated judges if possible since they won't be bombarded with applications

Go ahead man and congrats for your offer. I won't ruin your happiness by mentioning the consulting salary outside big 4 which also CAs get. As some people mentioned above, it's a very small sample to get a nice fat tier 1 salary and a large majority struggle for even jobs to start, unlike CA. Job acceptability is way higher for CAs and there's versatility in CAs. Again, as someone mentioned above, both professions have their own place. Why to derogate a profession?

I know who are talking about. His initials are ▮▮▮. I was taken aback by his post due to these two reasons

(1) seemingly unrealistic pay scale

(2) nobody in litigation circle explicity mentions pay

So I think he is just trying to build a following on linkedin and/or collecting email IDs / CVs of student for god knows what.

I visited some websites to find out how many matters he has appeared in SupremeCourt and it seems that he has hardly even appeared in any matter. But again he may be doing Advisory work

I recently secured a PPO at a good law firm. My advice to you is as follows-

1. Always be dressed perfectly. Don’t look too nerdy as well. It is psychological that people want to talk more to people who dress nicely but not to those who wear blazers and shit to office.

2. Don’t act like a know-it-all kid. If you don’t know how to do a certain task assigned to you, it’s better to ask your assignor right there and then.

3. Make your expectations clear from day 1. If you’re looking for a call-back and a possible future, make it clear to the firm and ask them what all do they expect from you.

4. Always ask for deadlines whenever getting work from someone and turn the work in before the hard deadline.

5. Don’t be creepy to anyone or trying to be extra friendly to your superiors.

6. Don’t be too much on your phone in the office, scrolling reels or playing games. If you’re free then ask for work from everyone and even if no one gives it to you, read a book from the library.

I consistently advise law aspirants to choose the below ranking, because I tell them to keep 2040 in mind rather than 2023:

1. NLSIU

2. NLUD

3. NALSAR

4. GNLU

5. NLUJ

6. MNLU- M

7. NUJS

8. JGLS

9. RGNUL

10. NLU- Prayagraj

Clearly a NUJS student with no realistic Ideas of things,Firstly multiple students have chosen NLUJ over NUJS clearly evident from this years CLAT list, Furthermore the So Called City you talk about is just detoriating on a daily basis under a Corrupt Government Atleast NLUJ has liveable hostels unlike a

building where cement is just constantly falling onto your head and hostels which were actually staff quarters not designed for Student Life

NLUJ atleast has realistic Sports Infrastructure and doesnt Just Piggyback off the SAI Facilities,A real Campus life exists at NLUJ with a 55 Acre Campus and not a standalone building where even the Student Body and Admin clash over Building Access

Don't get me started on the State of NUJS admin and the fact that Everything occurs in Bengali despite being a "NLU".

Simply Put NLUJ offers a Stable Academic and Residential Scenario with Professors who have infact rejected NUJS on the Contrary to your statements

Choose NLUJ over NUJS and do yourself a favor

I am torn between the two. I am not doing an LLM for placement, merely to gain knowledge while I prepare for the civil services. I like the infra in RGNUL better, but HNLU has greater brand value, so if I say no to HNLU and go after RGNUL, I feel like I would be throwing away a golden goose. But at the same time, I have an interest in international law, which is there in RGNUL and not in HNLU. So I guess in the end it comes down to comfort vs prestige? Or which would be more conducive for my UPSC preparations?

Unlike other in my opinion ipolitical compatibility is important in dating as because one's political views reflects his /her personality , opinion and thoughts. I could never date right wing girl having boomer uncle wali soch. You dont have to worry if she is has left-liberal political school of thoghts she would not pursue you herself. But clearly you do not come under any shades of policial line. Being pro-modi, pro-israel and defender of free speech is oxymoronic. You need to first figure out what political bend you have. read more to understand policial contour of India.
