Hi I’m a fresh grad . I’m confused if I should take up a job as a research assistant at a think tank/ public policy org or prepare for judiciary completely. Interest wise I’m okay with both but don’t want to waste time too.

Also if anyone knows what is the career trajectory of a researcher pls share like where would one be after working 5-6 years in public policy?

Suggest me "good firm slots with career perspective" I'll try to get those and relinquish all these slots for other people.

KCO Mumbai I tried but did not work out. Applied again through my college placement cell, not sure if it'd go through.

I have applications pending at IndusLaw Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai offices.

And you shall always remain someone’s PA - the ones who can come up with new ideas/structures are the ones who will be your bosses.

Before you keep vomiting this one line “law is not a creative field blah blah blah” please go read the judgements where the Supreme Court has evolved our fundamental rights. Is that not creativity?

I have recently graduated with BALLB from not a famous college/University. Specialised in Tax Laws, Corporate Law, IPR laws. I have internshiped with only 2-3 advocates in Mumbai and Pune. What are the opportunities that could help me get into Tier 1 or Tier 2 Law firms? And what could be my package?

Your faculty is known to be the best by whom? As for electives, a fancy name does not ensure quality. There is no academic rigour or standard existing in Jindal at present. The few good people who are left there, i.e. the ones not just treating it as a job to make extra money and great WLB, have given up on trying to enforce any standard and have been suffering from depression from what they reveal.

I have received an internship offer from two reputed firms for the same month and I don't want to let go of either I have confirmed one firm and I want to postpone the offer from another firm. any way of doing that? what should I state as reasons? Any fruitful guidance would be appreciated.

A senior counsel office in Mumbai. It was filled with Sexual Predators who legit kept it within themselves (For protection also). Rumour has it that the receptionist had a thing going on with the IT guy(predator) who keeps touching around and playing innocent. One horrible experience.

NISM material is good but lengthy.

If you want to focus on specific area under securities law, read the law from regulations itself, it's not that tough.

So why don't you grow a pair, leave and set up your own thing instead of whining about the same thing over and over again? Please leave and let us be who are happy with his policy, which prevents people like you from flooding this place further with toxicity and political agenda.

honestly, you dont have good firm slots with career perspective.

1. SAM Mumbai is known to offer callbacks over callbacks and making offers at the end of 5th year/ mid 5th year, which again may or may not happen.

2. CAM Noida is very stringent with PPOs and doesnt usually hire (in this season, dont see them offering at all)

3. KCo Kolkata does NOT hire, shift to Mumbai ASAP

4. Online internships at a tier 3/4 is equal to none, they aint giving you work at all, assessing you tu dur ki baat hai

5. ICUL Funds- very stingy in PPO department

6. Singhania- pay too low, too many interns

Lol, making comments about a person's "bad looks" on an anonymous forum is pretty low life. But, if you want to go down that road, I can guarantee that I've dated, been hit on and had way more action that you ever have. And I've seen just how desperate even "good-looking" girls (and boys) can be. So, I speak from experience.

When I started out, I was so passionate and enthusiastic about law. Post covid 2 years lockdown, I've become more reserved and introverted and have lost the passion for the field. Is this normal ? Am I depressed ? Should I change fields ? Experienced advocates please help. How did you overcome a slump in your career ?

Hi, I'm a fifth-year at Jindal and I'm set to join a T1 law firm after having recently secured a PPO. In all honesty, JGLS has great academics and opportunities but if you need to take a loan, then you should ideally avoid enrolment. You can still make it big by paying a lesser fee and hopefully joining good NLUs or private universities like Symbi & Christ.

One thing I can guarantee about Jindal is that the opportunities are endless but it's all about what you seek to achieve at law school. Jindal offers electives that are far better than any other law school in the country. Our faculty is known to be the best. Our placements are of course not great when you consider the entire batch strength but its necessary to note that not everyone joins Jindal to secure a job in law, a lot of students just need degrees to carry on their family businesses. While a lot has been said about distractions and ROI, I truly believe that you can do well at Jindal but that would probably be true about any law school. All of it boils down to your efforts.

All-in-all, if you need to take out a 30L loan, then avoid enrolment, you can succeed at other colleges like Symbi & Christ. All the best!

Bump, Sir/ Ma'am, kindly give genuine advice on this, ik this is the most hated practice area due to the "mind numbing work" which most of the threads have mentioned. But apart from Copy pasting, formatting and short cuts on Ms word, what should one be familiar with??

So nerds and topper guys don’t have good looking partners? I see literally every nerdy and batch topping guys have good headway in flirting and they have genuinely good looking partners as well. What’s this generalisation?

In fact it gets tremendously challenging , when you are yourself well-built but your crush is hanging out with someone much much more intelligent than I, myself ever will be.

hey, nerd and topper guys, as well as backer guys only date beautiful girls. Who are you to judge a persons choices? I have seen posts here justifying associates dating interns? Can a woman no longer make her own choices? Good looking people are naturally attractive for either gender either ways.

No, attendance doesn't mean dragging your sorry self to the room and sitting there zoned out. It's your interpretation of what that means. As for your reference to law firm associates or partners, as if they would discuss such things seriously with an intern, and even if they do, who cares? They aren't the arbiter of the standards of a university. Why don't you try telling them that if you just turn up physically for the internship and don't do any work, they should still consider you as an intern? See how they respond.

Circuit benches are redundant. We need to follow a model like that of SC.

Permit e-filing in all High Courts for all kinds of matters. Everything should become computer based - filing and refiling of all pleadings including additional documents, scrutiny, registration, verification etc. There must be a real time update on the website. Helpline numbers must be made available.

Every court must publish links in their Cause List. Every District Court must have a e-seva kendra where there will be trained staff that can assist in filing cases and other pleadings.

This way, not only will SC be accessible to all, but all courts will be accessible to everyone. Not only will a lawyer from Kerala , Arunachal, Gujarat, Jammu be able to practice in SC, but lawyers in Delhi can also practice in all these High Courts.

Why is there a need for circuit bench when we can and we must have e-courts accessible from everywhere?

The problem is - everyone wants Supreme Court in their state, but nobody wants their HC to have benches or even video conferencing. During covid, lawyers from Delhi had a field day as they appeared almost everywhere. Because of Covid, most top SC lawyers are now regularly appearing across forums all over India. It should continue.

I interned at a small firm whose MP has a penchant for classic cars and suing their own lawyers.

The experience was terrible, as the MP's brother, who was not even a lawyer, but just some admin grunt, involved all the interns in a file-reorganization project. The only expectation and work that was given to interns were to come, pull out dusty files from cabinets and categorize them. For a whole month.
