I am a final-year law student and have an upcoming one month internship at my dream firm.

It is important for me to get noticed by the partners and principal associates for a callback/assesment.

How often should I ask if they need any help? Is it okay to approach the partner?

Work hard this year, you’ll hopefully get a raise next year. It will only get better from here. But if you quit now, it will get worse from here.

Hello, it's my first time writing here so I'm not aware of the format and idk if it's the right place for it. I'll start by saying I'm in my 4th year of college and looking for an internship for the month of Jan. Unfortunately due to unavailability and not being from an NLU, it has made it terribly difficult to get an internship. I'm looking for internships in Bangalore. Any kind of help would be appreciated. My interest areas are Corporate law and IP.

And weren't you commenting earlier on a girls "self image" issues based on her life choices? Also sir, I can assure you that my reddit dm is filled with 5 times the "hit ons" you have. I have a bf and know how much "action" a boy has and gets hit on, especially one who lingers on LI. If you are referring to gay stuff, it's maybe a different story, but man a law student or lawyer dude ain't getting that much.

Also a girl looking at you for 5 seconds doesn't mean "hitting on", although I doubt even that happens.

I have been seeing lately that almost every partner, whether a boutique or a tier 1 partner , accepts my follow request on linkdin.Its clearly not common for an unique guy to pay attention to an ordinary bloke, is it? Is it that they have some prospects somewhere or is it just a random timepass exercise?

According to this, AM Singhvi had assets worth 650 Crores in 2017. I'm pretty sure both him and Harish Salve would be crossing 1000 Crore mark now. So yes, Indian lawyers do earn thousands of crores, but only the top 0.01%.

Mahua can’t get booted at this stage. At its worst, a suspension is as far things can go (legally). Dare I say, with the material on record, substantiated by Mahua’s many admissions on national media - a suspension from the post is also in order.

Think these “intellectuals” should play the part by conducting themselves in a manner that’s neutral and above board, and await the outcome of an investigation and trial.

Think we as lawyers should also raise our bar for what defines an intellectual - to the extent of knocking off those who are more than eager to influence public opinion before due process even does its part.

Any decent German will cost 80L atleast after extended warranty, service packages etc. say a X3, GLC and the likes so unless one wants and can settle with a Audi which I personally don’t find appealing although terrific VFM, you can delay the purchase and increase the budget, otherwise 60L will fetch you entry level German cars which are grossly overpriced and under equipped for the segment

Hi, I am looking for headhunters who can help with lateral movement at an A1-A2 level (general corporate) from a Tier 1 Indian law firm to the M&A practice of a law firm based in London (preferably India facing roles) or to law firm based in Singapore. Grateful for suggestions! TIA!

You are asking wrong people. Majority of LI crowd started their legal career at 22/23. They are bound to discourage you. Better would be to go to the high court bar and have an interaction with the fraternity there. Almost all the litigating lawyers are approachable for seeking guidance.

Hi,

I appreciate your courage and plans. But I doubt if you can get a corporate law firm job.

However, if litigation is your target then no one can stop you from litigating. But again, if you are considering litigation then make sure that you wont be earning much for first 5-7 years as a litigating lawyer. Consider financial liabilities (Partner, parents , rent , household expenses, kids) at home before jumping to litigation.

I would love to talk more.

Litigating Lawyer,

I would rather focus on the faculty while deciding on length and structure. Not to say that structure does not matter, but it is good to know what they are expecting. For few case-laws and specific provisions may be sine qua non for good answer whereas others may emphasize more on concepts and their application. Few may insist on long answers whereas others may stress on pointed answers covering relevant aspects.

Should be marked trollish but the Mod from NLS loves publishing this kind of nonsense. And if you're too stupid to research on the fact that NLUD conducts moots, both national and international, then it's your problem. We don't need to make our students winners when they're hands down better than others.

Makes me realize that it is not only Indian Procedural laws that are fucked up . Even other systems are as that bad. In times of email and internet, we are still chasing judgment-debtors, accused and opposite party.

Comments?

I'm an A0 at a law firm. Joined about 5 months back. I've been told that this is my honeymoon period and that there would be a time when I'll be working days and nights. That phase doesn't seem to have ended for me yet as I'm still wasting away my hours at office and at home. I feel like I'm in a limbo of having something to do and nothing to do. Is this forever? Is it because the team feels that I'm worthless or if there's no work as they claim that it's cyclical. This is because my colleague who is an A0 is getting better work than me and I feel like I'm being neglected and have been unfairly judged.

Hello,

I would like to know whether it's worth it to join law school at the age of 32? I come from a science background, have decent academics, and most of my work lies in the impact sector.

I am looking for a career change. And aiming at NLSIU and CLC, Delhi for a three year law degree.

Honest comments/ suggestions please.

May be I am an underpaid PA, but I make around 65-70L a year. Most luxury cars cost north of 50L on road. How are you even affording this? Or am I mistaken on their prices?

I go by the simple rule that on-road-cost of vehicle should be between 20 to 50% of yearly gross salary.

How much are you making? and are you a senior PA?

To be a good corporate lawyer always remember that our job is like a GP doctor. Always on call. To be a good GC this becomes even more demanding as you have only one dedicated client and hence are always on call for them.

The 3-10 cr packages are doled out for the ones who are always available for their client and its needs 24/7.

The end term exams for my college will come soon. I still haven't figured out how to write an answer for the exams. So far I;ve found out:

For law hypotheticals:
1. Issues raised
2. Applicable Law and Relevant caselaws
3. Conclusion and judgement

For BA:

No structure. Write whatever you know and try to stretch it into a story. Or is there a structure?

How much does the GPA matter in placements? An average student, with rank in the middle of his batch from a T1 NLU can get placement?

For real, NLS ke obviously sabse zada alumni because of it being established in 1986 and NLIU is the second oldest, in 1997. Then come NALSAR, NUJS, GNLU etc. It's only logical that these will have many batches who have graduated and hence will form strong alumni.

Don't know what sort of copium NLUD students are on. It was established in 2009. Hard for it to have a strong alumni base.

In the end no matter how smart how talented how rich, we are all apes a bag of bones and an outer covering, once you overcome lust, greed, envy and have literally zero of these feelings and only have compassion for the world you will transcend this bag of meat and bones and reach a level that no amount of money can get you.

In the 5k-10k range:

Mercedes benz Club black(Vanilla based)

Prada Luna Rosa Carbon Black(A milder version of dior sauvage, perfect for office as it has lavender notes)

Armani acqua di Gio(ITS THE BEST)

Armani Profondo

Ysl Y(its common)

K by Dolce

Blue Noir

For more affordable options:

Skinn by Titan (v similar to Armani Acqua and Blue de channel, they also have a vanilla based perfume which is great)

Jaguar classic

Also try Armaf Perfumes, they make very high quality perfume clones of designer perfumes.

(These are the ones that I use, I know a bit about perfumes as I am an enthusiast)

Recently encountered a horrifying experience near defence colony, couldn't understand what exactly happened but a well built man somewhere in his 30s vanished in a moment when I was taking my car back to ask him to drop.

It was not too late because was leaving as usual at around 11.

Anyone else ever experienced same in Delhi?

And I also think sapiosexuality is something - many girls are attracted to brains as it may indicate higher earning potential, better respect in society

many guys I know feel insecure even when having everything (body, looks, money) if they are not intelligent enough (marks, interactions, achievements)
