This ain't propaganda. The explosion at Trilegal during COVID will pop. The laterals without books and lightweights being promoted are starting to burn some fingers. The 1000 crore revenue was tom-tommed in a book and elsewhere - that was reached already during Covid. After COVID, it's been sputtering. When other places opened with equity, people left, too. Trilegal's all equity model is great, but sustaining it in tough times is hard.

Bumping this up. Ive interned with JSA and Trilegal banking, recieved good feedback, but failed to convert. What do I do, now that I am graduating in a bit? Im from a Tier 1 NLU and risk being jobless. I'm willing to work for lesser payscales as well, can someone pleaseee assist me? I have loans approaching.

For Delhi circuit would recommend to join young set of lawyers who look promising and have good set of clients. Can list few basis my knowledge and presence across bar:

1. Saurabh Seth (DHC)

2. Anirudh Bakhru (DHC)

3. Neha Nagpal and Malak Bhatt (PMLA and NCLT)

4. Gaurav Sethi (NCLAT and NCLT)

5.Tishampati Sen (SC and NCLAT)

Fairly aged lot may not assist you with learning. If open to work with senior try Mr. Rajshekhar Rao’s chamber.Best mentor for life.

Most law firm email systems do not allow mails to gmail etc., so dont despair. Even if someone wants to respond, they cant unless they write to IT to get the email white listed, give reason, get approval etc., and for that rigmarole, no one has the time or patience. So bomb HR inboxes by all means. Let them earn their keep.

The way you have responded shows that we lawyers are no less partisan and certainly no more rational than the rest of the society - at least, not in India. Shut the law schools down. Cut the jobs of the law professors, and those of the university academic administrators of the law specialist universities and the traditionalist university law departments, and of the housing administrators of all these places, and everyone else associated with this total waste of Indian hard-earned taxpayers' money. End this miserable farce, here, now, in front of us all. We haven't achieved Aristotle's criteria to study and maturely reflect on political science, and if this thread is any indication, we never will.

Well you are spot on correct with your feelings. It really is a sham. Most of the people even within their friend circles, let alone generally the batchmates, won't even pick up the calls one month down the line. So yeah it's fine to miss out on this OLT bulk shi that's put up for the social media and save a few bucks for yourself.

NLUJAA grad here. The college is in a very sorry state. The admin, while being mostly at fault, is not alone in dragging the college down. Go on and ask NLUJAA students where the 30 lac budget for the fest can be re-routed for a proper day-z, you ll see why the college is where it is.

I mean you can obviously criticise an organisation. But none of the things you said: 1. Operation premises (which is incorrect); 2. Their LinkedIn post about CHO - indicate anything about their work. Ajay Kumar is one of the smartest lawyers out there, and founder is a trail blazer. One of my college juniors work there and have nothing but raving good things to talk about the firm and quality of work!

Thoughts on Rashmikant & Partners? I know they represent some big clients and are great in litigation. But can someone give me honest feedback or inputs about the partners and the team? Considering applying there but I’ve heard some about their work hours, work life balance and rapport with partners, but not sure if any of it is true. Please share?

“You should be wedded to your profession and only when you dedicate yourself to what you are doing, the results will be encouraging. And the answer is none else, myself. So I appeal to all the youngsters, taking off once. This is what I have seen in especially Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Sundays not working, Saturday evening taking off. In Bangalore, we had no holidays"

I've seen senior women grooming male associates in office. Mind you, not grooming in a professional sense. Some or the men (idiots) come and tell us and we have to explain to them the manipulation and abuse they just underwent.

One of the things I have noticed about women in high places is how similar they are to men when it comes men in terms of abusive tendencies. They are way better at manipulation which often cover their tracks better. Whereas the same is brazen with the men.

This is something which I noticed a lot more after all Epstein bruahaah. Woman are quite happy to get ahead by any means. Did you see that Goldman lawyer's mails? A lot of women's solidarity is window dressing. Its out of pocket when the real issues for women are on the line.

So cut the crap madam. This is coming from a woman.

1. I agree that Indian legal academia is nothing to write home to mother about. But I totally disagree with the reasons for it that you have given.

2. How limited can your outlook on the world be? Do you know that in other countries, people have moved to law from science backgrounds - and after doing well in those? Best example off the top of my head that I can think of is Lord Diplock in England, who read Chemistry at Oxford, and is perhaps best known (among public law people at least) for formulating the illegality, irrationality and procedural impropriety test in CCSU v Minister for the Civil Service. Ah yes. And Lord Denning, who studied Maths at Oxford. Please revise your impressions of how things work.

I'll tell you (as a non-Jewish ally) what makes this antisemitic and in other ways, meaningless? This language "The threat by Trump and Israel". Why not "Trump and Netanyahu" or "the United States and Israel" or "the U.S. and Israeli governments"? And how about the assumption that we all agree Israel is a "rogue state"? Why isn't Iran a "rogue state"? And why not Pakistan?

"People in nlud are chilling too"

Nice Whataboutery.

You know that growth requires discomfort, not "chilling" right?

It's sad to see mediocrity spread like rot in Nalsar,Nlud,Nujs and more. Get out of your comfort zones please.

Nls would be the same if not for the admin who at least don't compromise academically.

Placements is one thing, studying from professors who change the way you think is another.

It is unfortunate that you are targeting a senior woman partner without any substantial evidence. This is what women have to face. If someone is competent and doing their job, it is still the woman who is being blamed and no less an insinuating allegation of sex for work. This reflects poorly on you and your competence. Further, there are known mechanisms in every top firm which actually work if there is an issue. Here it seems that you are overstating out of jealousy. If she is promoting him by writing articles, it will be because this person would be writing good drafts. A partner will not have the time to do first drafts. Also, if you want to write, please write and don’t crib. His availability reflects his dedication to work and not an affair as you are suggesting. Your mind is trash, which is adequately reflected in your comment. Your competence and character don’t seem better either. Please work and let your work talk. If you were so good, you will alternative job offers but since you are a crying little canine, grow a pair and stop giving a bad name to men who work.

Hello LI Family,

I have received the Trilegal Assessment - 1 link. Can anyone shed some light as to how should I prepare for it? And since my practice area is GC, what kind of questions can they ask in the Assessment?

Please help your own friend out. It would mean a lot.

So the countdown has begun. Just a few days left for the picture to come out. It does look like the TMC are in for a tough fight this time, because of the deletion of Muslim voters and fake voters in SIR.

The NUJS powers are sitting tight. Most will turn saffron if the regime changes, but some crucial and influential people will definitely be booted out: those who are too deeply entrenched with the TMC. Then the action starts (hopefully for the better).

I think that's the case with literally all the firms. The work done is very mechanical at entry level (can be taught to literally anyone within 2-4 months, and i mean literally anyone), so it in that case, all the matters is vibe. If you vibe with the team and they like you, you're most likely to be recommended. This is not to say that your work does not matter, but it's not the sole criteria as well.

If "a new bar has [really] been set", then those who want to get to it will do so. The rest of us will carry on with our lives. Whether somebody does or doesn't achieve it doesn't matter to the rest of the grads, or at least, doesn't matter to the extent that their lives are not directly impacted. One extra person competing or not competing ain't gonna get you that highly desired law firm job, place in a litigation chamber, training contract offer, LLM or PhD offer of a place/funding, or anything else for that matter. If it comes to that, your life as a citizen being governed by an NLU grad may not necessarily be better than it previously was. It might, but not necessarily. Brutal reality check: everyone in your NLU cohort could have huge political connections/clout and you could be on tennis-playing-buddy/drinking buddy terms with all of those people, have good grades, good moots, good internships and all the rest of it, but yet end up being in the lines of unemployed throughout the world. You may not, but you still may. That's how bad the world is. So take your exams, achieve good grades, wish everyone else the best (or tell them to go fuck themselves, depending on your outlook on the world) and focus on yourself.

They are a chambers band 2 firm from what I see. Your research should be there. Random law students giving you unknown trivia isn’t the best way to verify facts.

Plus, I am personally interned there. People literally don’t leave them because of their culture! ON top of that they have the cutest dog in office!

Most of the responses here are of such awful quality that I sometimes wonder if this website's majority demographic is really people who are actually lawyers, or people who would have liked to be lawyers, failed, are stuck in some non-law career they don't like and are coming to this website to live their wet dreams. I can totally believe that the OP is a lawyer, but the rest of you guys... are just... I don't even want to say.

as a personal trainer, this is wrong on so many levels.

To loose fat, you need to maintain muscle. Start weightlifting (nothing too crazy), and calculate your TDEE calories(This is your maintainence - eating this will maintain your weight because your body burns exactly what is consumes. Now subtract 500 and track a -0.5 kg weight loss a week. If you are skinny fat ( You arent too obese on the outside but have a belly), try a 250 - 350 deficit only and weightlift harder. Do all this until you are at YOUR DESIRED level of leanness. But stop when you can see all your abs clearly, dont go below this. Eat at maintenance TDEE after.

Consume about 0.6g-1g of your weight in lbs (kg*2.2) in protein every single day. This can either be from protein powders or meat sources (or veg sources like paneer, soybean etc). Within your target calories of the day, you can eat ANYTHING else, your body doesnt care or know if youre eating a fruit or added sugar, the mechanism of digestion is the same (carb- simple sugar - glycogen). Further, dietary fat is NOT the same or translates to body fat, body fat is simply your body storage of excess calories ( over your TDEE of the day).

However, to feel satiated, try eating high fat whole foods, so you dont feel hungry all day long on a deficit or feel tired (for example if you munch on just candy and protein and eat within the TDEE-500 range you will loose weight at the rate of 0.5 kg/ week but you will feel like shit.) Most importantly you have to be disciplined in your deficit. You can keep cheat days (where you eat what you want), maybe once a month or 2 weeks depending on how close you are to your goal weight. Remember, its a marathon, not a race.

"1700 calories" is NOT the recommended TDEE for everyone. Please use this https://www.calculator.net/tdee-calculator.html to calculate it for you.

Cardio/ treadmlll/ running are BURN calories and must be subtracted from your TDEE for the day. So if you want to eat 2k calories but want to maintain a deficit of 300 cals, you can exercise enough to burn 300. If you are eating just 1.7k cals for your deficit requirements, dont overdo or even do cardio, it does not directly burn fat, your body has mechanisms to keep you lethargic through the day because you burned through too much activity (thermic effects).

Yashwant Varma's 13 page letter withdrawing from the inquiry under the Judges Inquiry Act is revealing. Questions arise.

1. Why did senior Policemen decide in the middle of the night not to seize the cash and to issue a seizure memo. On whose instructions?

2. Why did senior fire service officers decide in the middle of the night not to mention the cash?. On whose instructions?

3. Who tampered with the CCTV pointing at the entrance to the store room? On whose instructions?

4. Who physically placed the cash in the store-room and when?

5. Why did the three PSOs of Yashwant Varma lie about their location on the night and why did they tamper with the attendance register? On whose instruction?

6. Who all visited Yashwant Varma's residence that night and the next day and the next night? Where is the CCTV for this?

Hope we get some answers. The Police also has some answering to do.

What are you supposed to feel? My batchmates are partying hard, but it feels like a sham given I know so many people hate each other? I am sure you all have your college's respective lores. How do you even get yourself to mingle with people [in OLT context] when you know they're inherently not good in general (or not good for you)? I do not feel like getting pictures clicked or get drunk and then I regret that I haven't made 'good' memories?

Am I the only one feeling this?

P.S. I am at good terms with my batchmates, so its not about being introvert.

Sign of the times. Humanities degrees being devalued more and more. Wake up call to shift to BBA LLB and BSc LLB from BA LLB?

I have a question with regard to the Linklaters Indian Internship 2026.

Did they overhaul the whole system of evaluating candidates this year and just make it a simple application without the Watson Glaser test and other activities that they typically had?

It seems this year's application are being redirected or proceesed through a portal called "Vantage".

I distinctly remember some of my seniors applied via a different portal last year and it looked nothing like what it presently is shown now.

Would like some insights on this issue.

🥲

Here are key elements of PoSH training regarding dating a supervisor:

- Conflict of Interest & Disclosure: Organisations often require employees to formally disclose relationships with supervisors to manage potential conflicts of interest, such as favouritism in promotions, appraisals, or project allocation.
- The Power Dynamic: A relationship between a manager and a subordinate is risky because the power imbalance makes it difficult to ascertain if the relationship is truly voluntary. If the relationship sours, it could lead to accusations of harassment if one party feels pressured to engage in the relationship to secure their job or career progression.
- Consent and Workplace Boundaries: PoSH training emphasises that consent can be withdrawn at any time. If one party tries to end the relationship, any continued advances by the boss can constitute sexual harassment.
- Professional Conduct: Employees in a relationship should not engage in intimate behaviour on office premises, nor use office resources for personal communication.
- Consequences of a Breakup: The end of a relationship, if handled unprofessionally, can lead to a hostile work environment, a major focus of PoSH investigations.
- Managerial Responsibility: Managers are responsible for maintaining a professional environment and may be held to a higher standard of conduct by the Internal Complaints Committee (IC) if the relationship results in accusations of harassment.

K Prashant (NLUD 2018) is contesting from Madurai South as an Independent Candidate. I know you're looking for folks contesting from tickets given by prominent parties, but KP is a wonderful guy and I hope down the road this translates into a meaningful career in electoral politics.

What is up with the new Bombay High Court website (https://bombayhighcourt.gov.in/bhc)? You literally cannot look up information regarding cases before the Goa or Nagpur Benches. So bad

What delusion? By definition, a delusion is a reality you can't accept, leading you to create your own through imagination. Where is my imagination in this? I lived through the experience.

The experience where I had to resist my favorite food while my stomach growled with hunger. The experience of pushing through grueling pain in my legs while trying to reach my 12km target. The experience of constant looks from girls my age, giggling because I looked "funny" as a 6'2", 100kg fat boy with man boobs.

This advice doesn't come from delusion; it comes from constant struggle and genuine care for other humans who seem to struggle with the same issues I used to: health, low self-confidence, and bad eating habits.

Why should YOU accept a RANDOM INTERNET STRANGER'S advice?

Because I lost the damn weight. I know the ins and outs of weight loss and what a human being goes through psychologically during that journey.

Lastly, how the fuck is it "life advice"? The term "life advice" is too broad because any advice will affect a person's life in some way. My advice is a mix of tips, tricks, and methods for creating a deficit that will in no way have a negative effect on a person's life or health. If followed, it will vastly improve their health and confidence. My own blood pressure went from 135/100 to 110/70 and stayed there to this day.

FINAL WORDS

It is upon you to understand and accept it, or deny it. My responsibility is to reach out, attract people who want to improve themselves, and answer their questions

Thoughts on the new Registrar appointment? Ruhi Paul has been abruptly shafted from office, while also being well below the age of retirement. Will she continue at the University? or is there too much ill will and bad faith between her and the current administration. Will Prof Garg - with his great corporate contacts and connections - improve the placement stats of the university to even greater heights?

My suggestion might not suit your taste of you don't like teaching, but hear me out. Since you have an LLM from a foreign University, apply at Jindal. They immediately will take you in board. Whilst there for atleast a year or two, focus on building connections, researching and applying in data protection firms. The harsh truth is that India is way behind data protection as compare to the EU. There are definitely firms that work in this field but they will take another 5 years to mature. Also the Jindal job makes it easy for you to get time to research the job market here while not losing out on years. Nothing damages a CV in corporate like a gap year. So the best is to immediately get a job in Jindal based on your foreign degree and then apply based on market research. Atleast you would be earning enough and the teaching part will help you stay employed.
