Yep, 10-15mins walking up and down at ghatkopar station, 10mins changing a train at dadar, 10min walk from parel station. Same while coming back at night. + 10min walk after lunch, walking a little in the office it self also adds up (going to washroom, coffee, partners cabin). 10k is definitely doable.

If you don't take public transport then you'll have to put aside sometime for walks, an after dinner walk helps with YouTube or Netflix playing in the background :). Moreover, walking in between sets during the workout itself is a big addition

Not KKV story. I know that. Moreover I said nepo circle , not Nepo FAMILY.

1) His father was friends with KKV

2) Gsanks took an year or two break (or maybe months) after law school before jumping into litigation scene.

3) There is an interview of gsanks all the whole he was in Law School at a youtube channel interviewing Sr Adv (Retd Justice ) Indu Malhotra. Speaks a lot.

He had connections.

Just enough for juniors from financially stable backgrounds to be told by their folks that the domestic helps, car drivers, and other support staff outearn them as professionals. Just enough for people from financially not-so-stable backgrounds to reconsider the utility of their degree, when they are not able to support their families after graduation.

FYI, Bombay pay system is rotten.

Hi @OTT so things did work out and i have got through a botique law firm in Mumbai which have sizeable volume of cases. Howver, there is one thing I just unable to make peace is the pay, their initial offerings our not generous but have considered that revision of compensation can be expected subject to performance. What should I do in a practical sense and whall things I should be careful about so that I am not taken for a ride being underpaid.

It's not stringent if you are a GLC. For top NLUs and other colleges we only pick the cream of the lot. Let me make it very clear the application part is reviewed properly and it's a total merit system. If you have a friend interning with us at TT&A it means there is something right they must have done.

For batch of 2026 interning in your 4th year (around May/June) would be the best time. But don't intern if you want to work here because in my time we end up recruiting selectively from top NLUs. Don't get me wrong because we have GLC grads interning all year but no A0 position has been offered as such. Your best case would be a lateral entry. All the best

Batch of 2029, eh? Here's some free advice. Heed or ignore, entirely at your own discretion.

1. Publishing on platforms as the one mentioned in your question would be fine, ONLY till the time you gain the confidence to go for indexed journals. Consider the ' "exposure" milega, stipend nahi' scenario. I would consider both situations analogous. Yes, please note the double quotation marks I used for exposure, thanks.
2. The value addition to your CV, as to writing articles for LI, at best is a participation certificate. #SorryLIMaafKaro

3. Before submitting your articles onto any website, make sure you check up their policies as to cross-publishing on other platforms, including rules pertaining to sharing on social media handles

4. Do not send forth your articles onto any website, unless you have looked up their website and satisfied your own self as to the legitimacy of the concerned publication platform. Check up, among other things, as to how recent are the other publications on the concerned platform. Look up the published volumes, published blogs, among others. These are ordinarily available online in case of most major publication platforms, whether blogs or journals. While at it, if available, also have a look at the concerned publication's LinkedIn or other networking/ social media page, of any.

5. Ordinarily most blogs have year round publication cycles, and typically have a limited scope as to word limit. Journals, reputed ones at least at best have a quarterly publication cycle. Plan your articles accordingly

6. I do not know whether you are pursuing your degree in law from an NLU or other top-tier institution, or a local University with slightly limited resources and/ or relative disinclination towards legal research. Whatever be the case, learn how to use the available library resources. Understand how to put the Internet to good use.

As a matter of abundant caution, let me state that I am NOT insinuating that non-NLUs don't have a legal research culture, nor do I want to open the NLU vs. non-NLU debate here. Nonetheless, it is known that most law schools in India do have their limitations so far as dedicated resources- material or otherwise, in respect to legal research would be into consideration.

7. Be mindful of understanding and duly abiding by the citation styles adopted by the concerned publication. Cite with utmost honesty.

8. Follow platforms such as Lawctopus, Livelaw, Bar and Bench ong others to stay updated with relevant opportunities.

TLDR: LI is not really your best bet for significant publications in the long run. Would not really recommend.

Note:

A. Ample chance that OP @Aspirant or any other person coming across this thread might be of the opinion that this answer is a significant digression from the actual question.

B. I have admittedly, albeit unabashedly hijacked this thread in order to state what I would have really wanted to know during my first year at Law School.

C. Some individuals are fortunate to get the above information at their law schools or through their peer network, some are not. Here's hoping that this reply does aid those in the latter group, at least a bit.

I am a CS LLB, class of 2021, graduated from a respectable tier-2 college. I tried getting into corp law. No firm would take me since I had no work experience. Meanwhile I joined my dad he is a lawyer who is specialises in Indirect tax litigation. (Sales tax and now GST, a little bit of service tax as well). That being said, he has a 30% odd percent silo of compliance/return filing work as well. I have been with him for 1.5-2 odd years now, I've realised that he is not really interested in continuing work and he's kinda like doing it for my sake. I want to join some law firm in Delhi, Calcutta or Bombay etc. In their indirect tax team. I have gained a lot of drafting and compliance experience after working with my dad. My questions are:-

1. Will the law firms consider my work experience that I have with my dad.

2. That being said, is it a good time to switch now?

What nepo circle? The same KKV story that has already been rendered false multiple times on these threads or something new?

For a guy without lawyers or politicians in the family to come from Bangalore and set up home in Delhi from scratch, he has my respect. Even now, his home and office are rented. His wife is also from a middle class Chennai background. I have never seen anything nepo about him and I have been here in the SC for more than 15 years.

Nepo guys have everything given to them on a platter - clients, briefs, cars, flats. I think it's very unfair to keep using that term just because someone has done well for himself / herself.

How much internships matter for getting a good job ?

I spoke to a lawyer he said what will you even do as you don't know much. I'm in 2nd year of 3 year LL.B.

So should I Intern now or wait till my third year and lastly,

Do these 1-2 months long internships really teach you anything in big firms or you learn everything after becoming an associate ?

Thanks

Bro truth is a defence for defamation.

You must be a corporate lawyer! Have the increments come? If not, it’s absolutely justified. It doesn’t matter to the high rolling partners when their increments come. For lowly associates it helps plan the entire year.

Anyone living in estate farms will not get it. Can you imagine other organisations just sitting on legitimate dues of the employees while the partners profiteer. Lawyer ho! Kuch toh seekh lo!

Good to see people considering staying at native place and looking for jobs there itself. Huge respect for such people. I know it can be a difficult run, given that legal industry has not expanded much in Tier 2 cities.

I hope we get to see more law offices in these cities. Indore and Bhopal together offer scope with HC and various tribunals operating in these cities.

Also One Forbes is as far away from Churchgate as it is from CST so you can look for houses on the central line as well. It is more accessible from CST via share taxis. You’ll find the share taxis right outside the Mc Donald’s who will drop you to the high court from where One Forbes is 5 mins walk.

You genuinely won’t get any accomodation for that money except rundown men’s hostels near station, since you are coming for a month only. You could try travelling from train and get good gps near Charni Road Grant Road stations. If you have batchmates who also are coming you can find a flat and share the rent if the landlord will give for a month. Another option is to just get a hotel. The local ones would give you a better rate for a month and if it’s two of you it will come out to 17 - 20k as rent.

Yes, try your luck for GLC and ILS. No other college should even be considered after these two. Give CLAT again if you don’t get GLC and ILS. Yes anything below 105 won’t get you seats in these two if you are OMS. You might get ILS in the institutional round tho but chances are bleak.

Well, most Europeans are pissed with the migrant crisis that was sparked due to Arab spring, it has brought millions of migrants all throughout Europe, a large number of whom are radical Islamists which has led to an increase in crime and made ethnic Europeans feel unsafe within their own homes. The radical nature of a large number of these migrants is clearly visible in massive pro Hamas protests happening across Europe, several terrorist attacks which have happened in Europe in last decade and riots in several European nations France being an example. Check the massive increase in rapes across Europe particularly in scandinavia which was most welcoming to migrants.

It is understandable why European citizens are standing for hardcore right wing nationalists since they are afraid of radical Islam invading their society. I know this is politically incorrect for most folks, but it is the truth.

Genuinely asking whether it would be worth it to pay to secure an internship when getting so is difficult?I was just wondering if I get one reputed internship on CV be getting another reputed internship would become easy? Though I have secured my T2-T3 internships on my own getting T1 seems difficult to me without connection and networking.

it is the lowest among the top currently -

NLS, NALSAR, NLUD, NUJS - These 4 are the only law colleges in india with some weight, now the lower colleges get mad at this fact and try to belittle Nujs so that they can feel better if nujs is also considered same as them which also will = their colleges also have same weight, so in the end only these 4 colleges actually matter and this fact is too sour for them
