Curious if I'm the only one on the boat thinking this. The amount of work and effort that goes into each project in the legal profession has really diminished my perception of the value recieved for service - for proportionate money paid in other white collar professions. Am I right in thinking this or am I just pigeon holed.

Yet neither Sid nor Saurabh is currently teaching at JGLS. Nor does Sudhir hire only foreign LLM holders. JGLS is full of dime a dozen such people who can't teach or research to save their lives. The less said about overall faculty quality of JGLS barring the few marquee names, the better.

Hi is it possible to achieve the following goal in litigation / becoming a counsel in bombay HC / shifting to Delhi for litigation ?

1️⃣ To Read and interpet Law-

🔹To Focus on reading diverse laws and in depth (bare act, rules, notification, circular , case law)

❎Reality - You wont get time to read much in practise Or in litigation.

❎Reality - in litigation, you will also have tough time to build competent team of juniors as they will either move out soon or wont be able to pay as clients dont pay much.

❎Reality - Not able to read file and law gives no work satisfaction

2️⃣ To Practise law in best forums -

🔹Because reading has no value. Knowledge should be translated into action. Enforcement of law is the goal.

❎Reality - raipur does not have many forums , no use of reading securities , insurance and corporate law.

❎Reality - Opposite party may cite any random overruled case law and Court may rely on it.

❎Reality - Cant move to Munbai or delhi for a long time due to family and home here. Mumbai is costly too.

3️⃣ To Get Relief for clients in a time bound manner

🔹Again, knowledge is useless until relief is sought for the client.

❎Reality - Even if I win a civil case , I will have serious trouble in execution case. Also, often after 10 years in Trial court, case may go another round of litigation for several years in HC

4️⃣ To become skilled & reach the top position

🔹Be it designated sr adv or a Justice or a recognized lawyer by SC

❎Reality - No way to reach the top. Too much competition. Too much fighting for files.

At Kolkata Pride yesterday (attended by many students) the theme was Free Palestine. This is exactly the problem with the woke left. Sharia law in Palestine criminalises homosexuality. If you want to oppose Israel, don't use the rhetoric of gay rights, please.

in a similar position. have a T1 internship lined up but thinking about cancelling it because theyre probably on a hiring freeze and i cant waste the few months before my graduation interning at a place that isnt recruiting. i dont think i have an option other than joining a senior's chamber for a year or two and then making a switch. seniors dont pay anything and i might have to be dependent on my parents for 20 more months but what other option do i have?

Unfortunately, you will have to do double duty. Atleast give the pre, that's usually on a sunday. For mains, take a holiday, 15 days before the exam. For interviews a day off before will be fine. Many people have cleared this exam with a job, while litigating, while teaching etc.

It all depends on how much toh want it.

Or you can take a gamble and leave job for a year. But make sure to get a job immediately if you fail any stage of the exam. Because once you're in this competitive stage you will not realise how one year become five. It's a vicious circle.

I'm sorry. But you need to really go out and touch the grass. We are living in India !

No matter where you go, the chances will always be slim irrespective of the number of vacancies since the population, especially in current times with a younger population, will outweigh vacancies.

Despite having large vacancies, a lot of states are just not worth it. I have friends in UP, Bihar & MP who absolutely hate their work due to the audience they have to cater to. OP be careful, if you don't like that state you will not be able to work there despite clearing it. And that would be worse feeling to not enjoy your career that you worked so hard for to clear.

Also, whether the candidates are 2 or 200. It's still gonna be tough. That's why it's a "competitive" exam.

Dumb comment from an outsider troll with no clue about Jindal. Dr Sahni's issue has to do with certain internal administrative issues. The expansion to STEM is a combination of financial motive (as medical and engineering colleges earn huge revenue) and a tactical motive to balance the left-leaning faculty which dominates law and humanities. Ashoka is doing the exact same thing.

As for UGC NET etc, these are stupid comments. Even Sudhir copies the Jindal model and hires only NLU alumni with foreign LLMs. Please look at the TLC BALLB-desi LLM products teaching at other NLUs. The majority of them are very mediocre. Ask anyone at NLSIU, NUJS and NALSAR to compare people like Sid Chauhan and Sourav Bhattacharya with some of the TLC-desi LLM "gems".

Pseudo fake & cheap humanism. Also for the younger gen it's in the "trend". Earlier it was Ukraine, now that's replaced by this. Majority of them don't even know the history of the land. Most of them haven't even read the UN Resolution. Half of them don't even know about the wars fought in and around the land. It is what unfortunately is happening with the world today. Immature raw opinions based on half baked knowledge to keep up with trends on social media issues.

Man, you've got some terrible responses in this thread. Here are my slightly more serious suggestions, mostly office products: (i) a GaN charger; (ii) deskmat or a deskspread (Scarters has a nice one); (iii) a tech organizer; (iv) a wireless charging pad; (v) a laptop riser/ stand; or (vi) a good planner/ notebook.

As a Harvard LLM grad, I can assure you that while the JD and LLM students operate in different academic circles (inherently built into the system), there is no absurd class system, and all alum treat each other with respect and brotherhood. In fact, JD - LLM interactions are quite helpful for networking and expanding your horizons in an academic setting.

So then why argue that it is better to work in Mumbai than Delhi coz of safety? If your argument is that North Indians make Delhi unsafe, as if these are people don’t also migrate to Mumbai? Time to look at women’s safety as a pan-Indian issue.

Sanjay Asher ka naam suna hai? He is an independent director on every BRLM/Bank's board one can even think of. Crawford might not be seen on the dealmaking front these days but the most difficult commercial calls which have headlined on the ECM deal corners of KCO or Indus have had Crawford (Sanjay Asher) or us (at S&R) guiding the nascent origination of the same.

tHiS iS cLeARLy aN OuTCom- bhak. Only chronically online people think everything is a conspiracy driven by left-right dichotomies that don't exist outside of rabid social media narratives crafted to bait the unemployed. Jindal sees money, Jindal pursues it. Your buzzword salad picked from trash tier twitter discourse matters nothing to people with actual power and money.

Like 85% of students who opt for corporate law, do so for the money. Chuck that, my friend, a certain law firm has been poaching Partners, literal Partners, with the bait of money. Kya objectification? The numerous threads on the salaries and perks that are associated with T1 law firms are because the idea of working at a corp law firm and making rad money sells like hot cake.

Of course I want to commodify what is already commodifying me :3

but they prefer females more for some very 'obvious' reasons- every wonder how do girls get instant application approvals and boys don't???? and btw that was like 20 years ago, things have changed now to the extent that for the sake of inclusivity, whole firms are being female partner-led and those females bar entry to other females only- something that was not the norm when it was a male-dominated society. Living under a rock are you?
