Someon in one of the threads on litigation suggested that one should start their litigation practice from the trial courts but stopped short of suggesting good offices where one can get such experience. Looking for suggestions for offices that I can join to get good original side/ trial practice.

the fact is israeli's want to attacks everyone who is even a tiny bit critical of them, they make accusations of anti semetism, nazi sympathies and what not, which is funny in the context of india becuase most of us would never interact with a jew in our life and have no reason to hate them, if we are critical of israel it's because zionist entity is a colonial project similar to british occupation of India.

they want the same level of control in east as they have in the west.

they want people to loose their jobs and homes for being critical of their atrocities.

I'm a 32 year old woman, working as a PA at a T1 law firm in Mumbai. During my time at law school, I had dated quite a few guys but nothing worked out long-term. While it is true that I make enough money to satiate most of my needs and wants, sometimes I find life to be so purposeless.

I tried using plenty of dating apps but most of the men there are so creepy that there's no way I could ever interact with them. I always wanted to be a mother and have my own biological children. Dating my colleagues is not possible because my firm has a rule against two people working who are related in any manner. Another issue is, I know how restrictive marriage can be for women. There's so many men who put up a fake mask to impress girls, and show their true self later on. Pokey in-laws is another burden I'd like to avoid.

Lately, I have been thinking of two options. Firstly, having children out of wedlock. Apart from societal constraints, I feel it'd be hard to raise a child as a single parent who is almost always occupied with work. The other one is, to wait and give more time, but the biological clock is already ticking for me.

With how the general seats are shrinking in the state NLUs (thanks to domicile and other reservations), many will be "forced" to look at such expensive options. It is hard to believe that BITS' law school (trying to ride on the BITS brand) charges more than BITS' engineering degrees (its flagship program that contributed to the brand).

Hi, Got to know about corporate Law jobs / Firms only in 2022. Like I said , Had appeared for Judicial services exams since late 2020 with litigation experience (9 am to 12pm daily)

On another note, our case becomes the classic 'no internship-> no job' , 'no job->no internship/relevant work ex'. As far as drive is concerned , we can only show you drive once our internship is confirmed. Not before.

The original post did mention that our state does not have any law firm or independent practitioner (even the title highlights that). People like me have applied to many places but not getting any response.

Constructive comments help you are just repeating the same thing like everybody else.

State NLUs will also use this as a way to justify steep increases in their fee - because the availability of willing students to bear ₹1 crore gives the state NLUs the headroom to raise. State NLUs will remain state entities and the respective states will further reduce or stop funding altogether. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Internet slams Ahmedabad crowd for 'disrespecting' players during World Cup final
=================================================================================

It's called inflation. Fact is that NLUs are way too subsidised. The fees must be 30 lakhs at least to have top-class infrastructure and faculty. Most NLUs have crumbling hostels, dilapidated non-AC classrooms and stinky toilets. Plus near-zero alumni in representation in faculty and instead mediocre profs who can barely string a sentence together.

Been trying for so long yet no hope. Every time rejection comes from khaitan and it just feels so terrible. they are not even allowing for Jan 2025. Please help. I need that internship badly.

If anybody has some links or so, please mail me at deviousandgoofy@gmail.com

Shekhar Bobby Saraf (NLSIU 1996 batch) was the first NLU grad to be elevated to a High Court (as far as I know). That was in 2017, when he was in his mid-40s (assuming he was 22 when he graduated) - about the average age when lawyers get the tap on the shoulder for elevation to a HC. The first 2 batches of NALSAR ('03 and '04) and the first batch from NUJS ('04) are hitting that age band about now. Give it some time friend, sabka number aayega.

Also, a lot of other factors are considered while nominating a lawyer for elevation to a HC, not just 20 years of practice - IYKYK.

Partner here..

I now find the hype around NLUs have made the freshers quite difficult to work with. Although some of them do come with the advantages of better education, their bad attitude is not worth it. I would much rather recruit from non-NLUs, local Unis because most of law can be taught to A0s. You just need diligence, and in the beginning, have to be willing to make it your entire life.

NLU or Non NLU, you will always get some chance, somewhere, and once you have a foot in the door, you will need to demonstrate your diligence. Rest of the doors will open automatically.

The Israeli ambassador to India Naor Gilon also wrote a letter to the vice chancellor, expressing his “concern and extreme disappointment” at Vanaik’s lecture, an event which he alleged delegitimised the state of Israel. He also said he found it “hard to accept” that Dalwai sent out an email that “had named the barbaric atrocities carried out by the Hamas” as fake news.

The controversy has left the class divided, the first law department student said. “Most of us were unhappy about activity around the dating app. However, when [Dalwai] got trolled and attacked over the Palestine lecture, she found support among the students,” they noted.

Around 40 students from different classes have submitted testimonies to the Haryana Women’s commission in support of Dalwai. ....

“She is an upright and straightforward professor but she has been misunderstood,” the third student said. “She wanted to make us understand how the intersectionality of caste and gender applies in our lives.”

Now this is suspect. If you are so confident and aiming for "corporate law jobs", what have you done so far to demonstrate relevant interest or capabilities? You say you found out about thus sector late, have you done any internship (at independent practioner/boutique/T3 or below firms)?

I have recruited so many people from such backgrounds but they showed drive/persistence.

Moral of the story: Your 20-year old self in college and your 30-year old self in the real world could be very different creatures...

Enroute Law is actually very good. They are a team of lawyers, so it’s easier to make them understand what exactly you are looking for. They are also very well informed about the law firm market and definitely more ethical about the whole process. Went to them after getting their reference from a couple of peers who had a very good experience with them. In the interview process right now, hoping the shift will materialise soon.

Has any libertarian ever been president anywhere in the world?

This dude is Ayn Rand on steroids though. He wants to abolish the central bank, abolish all bureaucracy and legalise trade in human organs.

From CLAT 2025 onwards, highly likely this change will be brought in.

Please stop pouring your woke vitriol on Modi and Jay Shah, because they had nothing to do with the defeat. Our team let us down: Rahul, SKY, Siraj etc. You expect to win when someone treats it as a test match and scores 66 in 106 balls?? When someone treats it as an IPL match and goes for silly scoop shots every ball?? When someone bolls lollipop after lollipop??

It will never stop. I work at a T1 law firm and there is always someone better than you - performance, looks, bonuses, material possessions and the list goes on. Just remember to be content w whatever you have and never compare yourself with anyone. Life is too short to live with the thought of "I am not doing enough" because it will never be enough. Enjoy law school, these are glorious days of your youth and there is no coming back after this stage of life. Best of luck!

Over confidence plus fear plus too heavy burden of expectations - psychological collapse and defeat.

Shreyas and Shubhman Gill - Irresponsible out

Rohit Sharma - needed to be more careful, this was not any other match

Kohli - same thing

KL Rahul - waste

Marnus played similarly too KL, after fall of Gill, Iyer, he was trying to act as an anchor with Kohl on the other side and after kohli he tried to stay in the stadium for as long as possible because we didn't have enough batsmen left.

It's very easy to say things after match is over but had they introduced Ashwin and still lost y'all would be saying why tinker with the winning combo.

Also in the past matches Shiraj wasn't getting wickets and was leaking too many runs, and because the total was low they wanted early. Wickets that's why they got Shami early, unfortunately it didn't work.

Also Ahemdabad Crowd is so bad, they stop cheering for players when the game seems to be going on the other camp, it was painful seeing Kohli asking them to cheer.

I didn't say it's irrelevant.

Also I told you my reasoning behind why I consider ABS fraud.

Just tell me what's GNLU's contribution is on someone getting a scholarship in first year of college? GNLU didn't prepare them for the interview, their premier schools did.

I feel you kids ought to be imparted some knowledge of how money works. ‘I’ll be earning upwards of a lakh”….. dost it is not at all that much money? Don’t say that litigation pays less that’s down to dumps. This is still v less money which gets over v fast. The costs are huge! The overheads once you join a job only increase. Travel / rent/ your contribution towards home/ you’d park some money in savings and tax saving schemes / socially (gifting, going out etc) / clothing / food/ emergency costs- all of them combined your upward of one lakh salary would remain very less.

You don’t even know yet if you’d like your job enough to stay put for long. So yes, have some patience and you might not know but you can 100000 do without a car immediately out of college. This upwards of lakh high horse attitude needs to be studied.

so the argument is that because some male professors have gotten away with terrible behaviour we have to let terrible behaviour from female profs slide? thats whataboutery. Judge this case for this case- the stuff she did was objectively terrible in terms of education not just student privacy or professional communication.

I suppose harvey weinstein and bill cosby could argue that lots of comedians have done shady stuff but why are they being singled out- it must be antisemitism/ racism- except its just not the case.

My take

I suggest we don't make Gods out of cricket team in India. Imagine NZ and Aus loosing and not being accountable to 1.5 billion? I don't think Australia Law website like LI would have discussed their loss had they lost lmao.

We try to hide our failures in other sports by our attempts at silverware from our cricket which is no doubt world-class. But the added pressure just suppresses then even more and it's a vicious cycle.

Still feel Aus as a nation is one of the strongest mental sides across sports, it's in their culture. Sadly the Gujju crowd and Gujju state was in attendance only for photos and insta snaps, pure show of no cricketing heritage.

Note- If 2011 and period thereon has been a sign of rise of India as a cricketing superpower and yet it's Aus who has the WC twice, in such case we can assume India might still go on to dominate cricket for the next 100 years but what Aus has done for the last 100 till date is nothing short of legendary.

BCCI is a shambly run org and with the funds we have india should maybe have become undefeatable or v close to that, the funds distribution even in top 3 nations is vv vastly in our favour.

For me Rohit Sharma deserved the man of the tournament given his change in approach and he was the captain as well. Kohli again legendary but a tad selfish in several phases (didn't hurt the team thankfully).

Proud of Indian team and not the board, but the years of RCB fandom will surely help me cope this better.

No shame in accepting Aus > India in cricketing heritage and clutch performances from players who aren't treated as God but are nothing short of being one. We lose due to players worshipped as God but can't show up on festival due to everyone praying for their visits. :)

Why does law school always feel like there's more to do? I see my brilliant peers excelling, and it makes me wonder what I'm missing. I've achieved a lot in a top-tier law school and landed a corporate job, but it never feels like enough. I know it might sound ungrateful, but I'm struggling to shake this feeling. Any thoughts or advice?

For students entering in the academic year 2024-25:

1. BITS Law ₹60 lacs
2. IIULER ₹60 lacs

This includes tuition, hostel, and mess. If reasonable personal expenses are added for the five years, the total cost would be around ₹75 lacs. How many years to ₹1 crore?

Terrifying or terrific?

This thread is absolutely disgusting as to how dissecting and disrespecting Zayaan’s achievements, he has written extensively, have been published by Oxford, has been an absolute all rounder, mooter and moreover has proved how much he deserves this against all odds, his internships from day one have been research oriented and

Actually, there is a logic behind the ban. Halal itself is not banned, only labelling is. A lot of non-halal meat is labelled halal to fool Muslims into buying it. The answer is to remove all halal labels. Instead, Muslims can directly buy from slaughterhouses which practise halal.

On another note, I feel this halal concept is alien to Indian Muslims. It is a practice promoted by the orthodox Arab clergy and exported worldwide. I don't think the average Muslim cares.

Real cricketing reasons for the loss:

1. Slow innings by KL Rahul (always maintained he's overrated and a statpadder)

2. SKY (another overrated guy)

3. Non-selection of Ashwin instead of Siraj: would have strengthened both batting and bowling

4. Nonsensical decision to give Shami the new ball and promote Jadeja to 6, changing previous patterns.

Is that so? Is that why we were playing India hi jeetega during the official break of an ICC tournament? How's that for diplomacy or even neutrality? The truth is that he had gone there to score brownie points during Loksabha election and doesn't really give a damn whether the team won or lost.
