But there will come a time when the legal infrastructure of Delhi would also crumble. And there cannot be space for everyone coming in.
Doesn't this raise few essential questions:
1) What is BCI doing to create paid opportunities in other High Courts (especially Rajasthan, MP, CG, UP, Bihar) so that people don't have to migrate to the Tier 1 cities.
2) Whether the idea of establishing circuit benches of SC can be a way to rationalise the younger lot to work in different parts of the country.
Whatever be the case, an overhaul is needed.IG.
If not, then if you are brilliant in your studies (which can automatically fetch u good rank in CLAt even after prepping a month of two), you can try investing in Bachelors at Oxford/NUS Singapore. Just don’t burn your money at Jindal
Maybe you can and should change.

In regards to your second question, I guess the following threads can be of immense help: -

Why is this the case?
"The Left dominance over the intellectual establishment has its roots in the systematic “ethnic cleansing” of all non-Left thinkers since the 1950s. One of its early victims was liberal economist B.R. Shenoy who questioned Nehru’s economics. He was squeezed out of the establishment and persecuted, but continued to write against socialist planning. ... The result of the systematic cleansing was that there were no non-Left academics remaining in the social sciences field in India by the early 1990s. ... Since the 1990s, the more explicitly Soviet-derived material has been removed from curriculums, but they remain heavily dominated by the Left. Thus, economics students are mostly taught material written by Amartya Sen and his stable of academics but exposed only in passing to the thoughts of Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman or Jagdish Bhagwati, Sen’s intellectual rival. Even when non-Left thinkers are included, their ideas are lumped together as exotic curiosities to be critiqued, rather than imbibed. Shenoy is still deemed too dangerous to be taught widely. The situation is much worse in other disciplines like sociology and history."

While the focus of Sanyal's article is DU and JNU, the problem he identifies is also very much true for NLUs and places like JGLS. In economics, most our profs teach Sen but not Bhagwati. In sociology, many of our profs include Kancha Ilaiah's writings (which are full of factual errors) and some actually glorify Periyar (who Nehru had called a "lunatic"). Among Western thinkers, most profs teach Marx and Foucault. In history, the list goes Althusser, Hobsbawm, Bipan Chandra etc.
So there's obviously a serous gaping hole that needs to be bridged. Ideally, reading materials by non-left thinkers should replace/complement those above. If the left establishment resists, then students can form their own Study Circles. Below is a suggested reading list. Looking forward to your suggestions to expand it.

1. Nani Palkhivala, We the People

Job changes have helped in increasing the paycheque. The latest job is for an MNC who gave me a 100%+ hike.
Prejudice that flows from ignorance or generational/ inherited insecurity isn't intelligence.
But others are also equally good. Prof Shouvik is sharp and has impeccable knowledge of the law. He also mentors students very well, which is a rarity in NUJS. Even the new Prof Aman engages the class really well and also puts in a shit ton of effort in teaching. Plus, he's pretty cool. Prof Vijay also teaches extremely well. His classes are well-structured and very clear, arguably right after Prof Shameek's in this criteria.
Largely, the noojie profs who have come back to teach are amazing, and their classes are very well delivered. TBH, I think we genuinely need noojies to come back to teach at nujs. They know the law very well and take efforts to not only deliver in class but also mentor students. Their classes are worth attending. Plus it's always cool to have someone who knows our culture and understands us.
at this point only 2 juniors are handling monumental amount of work (briefing , researching and drafting)
Full of non nlu people
Full work life balance and no work
Our Quad beats Shamirpet (JK love NALSAR too)
Take it up with the the authorities if you have an issue with the faculty, and not on a random LI thread.
Shouldn’t this be the other way around?
Lovely das gupta as Contracts faculty is another excellent teacher.
Tilotamma as Torts is also a good teacher.
