there was no personal information in that email. When you send emails to university wide email lists- you should expect that those emails will get leaked. I do think JGLS students take it too far by going to the media / complaining to admin with every single thing they disagree. and anyone sending out death threats is despicable- but thats the responsibility of the person sending out death threats- not someone who spoke about events happening on thier campus.

I know the title sounds stupid but please help me out here. Since I want to settle outside India, I want to know whether a corporate law degree from India would be useful or not. I don't think whatever I will learn in India be relevant when it comes to corporate law in foreign countries as I'm sure that it will be related to corporate law in India.

Should I go to a foreign country for my higher studies or do any other branch of law? Since I'm not sure if I will be able to go to a foreign country for my higher studies, please recommend a branch of law that I can study in India and still use to get a job in a foreign country.

(I'm not sure if this is relevant but although I'm good in Social Sciences and other Arts related subjects, I am terribly weak in Math and Science related stuff. Please recommend a branch of law based on this info. Ignore it if it's irrelevant)

Thank you for sharing your experience. Though I have not started preparing yet. I find it difficult to secure a decent private job then govt exams (other then judiciary and PSCs), as there at least I can give my 100% and hope for the best without thinking about lack of NLU tag, exposure and guidance along with wrong decisions culminating into not so impressive CV. The starting points in the race are not significantly different for aspirants as compared to private sector. (the observations are only based on personal experience and information from other sources including LI threads).

I ideally wish to try for securing decent private job and fall back on some govt job if it does not work out in a short time. However, I also think why I should waste my time gaining skills for private sector where my chances seem very less. I am also not in a position to spend 3-4 years without a decent salary around 50K.

JSA started their downhill fall when they appointed the new ExCom members. Everyone in the firms knows and openly acknowledges it. No revision of bands, no attorney friendly policies, lack of transparency in partnership process etc. Nobody wants to stay with them. Imagine losing 3 equity partners in a single financial quarter. Embarrassing for them.

Keep an open mind and have a plan B for government jobs. I have been preparing for judicial exams for the last 4 years and appeared for mains thrice. Out of the 3 mains, the first mains was when I had no job and after failing in it, I felt dreadful and got very under confident. But then I took up in house role because only in that environment you can get some time to study. Though I failed in the next 2 mains but I had a job to go back to and the worst that can happen to me is non-selection, but I was able to manage my expenses etc. In firm, you won't be able to get any time to prepare, so I would suggest you to be practical in life and decisions you take. Try giving your best shot in the very first attempt and if nothing happens, then please look for job and prepare with it.

SPN toh bhul hi jao. Yaha toh 7 bje se phle nikal jao toh partners k muh hi ban jata hai. Once NN called me back to firm from home for 2 min discussion which could have been easily discussed on phone. Kaam hai nahi itna uske baad bhi late tak khali betho. Please avoid this firm at all cost. And in case you have any doubt, then please read all the threads related to this firm on LI.

Let's stick to material facts only. You may have been a sugar mommy and helped someone's career, financial and social status. Doesn't matter. The material fact is whether the documents evidencing ownership of a disputed chattel are in your name. Answer? A BIG NO.

Please think like lawyers and don't bring your political ideology into it.

NOTE: Dog is a chattel under the law, not a child vested with the mental capacity to choose a parent.

Tales from the AbusrdLet's not forget that familiarity is the architect of all our contempt in life. In this illusory world of social media, your affections are as one-sided as a debate in an echo chamber. Take it from one who has sailed these killing fields. On my maiden voyage into the tempestuous seas of digital romance—courtesy of the dating app. I too was smitten by a digital deity whose profile was a symphony of aesthetic pleasure and adventurous pursuits. It almost seemed like a match made in heaven brought together by the whims of the ‘bumbly’ algorithm. It was our mutual preference for ‘Infernal Affairs’ over the Scorsese's remake that did the trick for me.

Our textual dalliance of wit and words culminated in a rendezvous amidst the colonial charm of Colaba. Yet, alas, it was not the face but the intent that was the grand illusion. My enchantress, it turned out, had a very real-world script in mind, with a twist that would have made Mr M. Night Shyamalan blush. I was quoted a clear-cut tariff of Rs. 8000/-, a friend’s price (it seems), for the desired company in the locale of my choosing.

The chivalrous (and almost broke) budding lawyer that I was, I found myself quickly mulling over the fiscal dynamics of this amorous enterprise. With masterful sleight of hand, I furtively inspected the meager contents of my wallet, followed by a fleeting glance at my banking app beneath the table's shroud. But the coffers of a budding legal eagle aren't exactly the stuff of fortunes. As the negotiation unfolded, I found myself in the throes of an absurdist play, where the cost of courtship had been unveiled devoid of any sentimental baggage.

So there I was, retreating to my grand 1 RK, poorer by Rs. 5000/- and my dreams of love punched in the gut. I couldn't help but snicker at the joke life had just played on me. In this bizarre bazaar of ‘lou’, buyers are to beware.

There should be a proper discourse on this in firms. Even if an AI takeover of junior and mid-level jobs is not imminent until after 10-15 years a strategic plan by firms to turn around on it and use it to their benefit should be a priority. I understand that technology changes very rapidly and it is quite difficult to foresee the developments but we must talk about this. Wonder if MPs of large firms are prepared for this or even properly thinking about it.

Technically, they can do that. If the applicants don't achieve a certain benchmark, then the vacancies shouldn't be force filled. However, that should be decided at the interview stage unless a formal cut off marks is declared in the beginning. I also refuse to believe that given the current quality of the HC judges, people with similar quality can't be found.

Rightly done by the government and its supporters. There should be strong action taken against JGU and the organisers of this event. You can't stay in a country and jeopardise its relations with other countries by adopting a different stance. If you want to do that, then leave India and go to Palestine or one of the Arab states. No country for terrorists or sympathisers of them.

Hi, I am a litigating lawyer (under an adv) - trial court. Pay is abysmal.

Plus the behavior of senior is harsh and very strange sometimes. I dont see scope in litigation also as cases get dragged on for years , dull judiciary and poor litigants. And its a nepotistic and political field - Law and Judiciary.

Hence I have quit litigation and law as a field altogether. I am 29. I am in no hurry to get married and settle down. Infact, I want to be fully financially secure & independent before I meet someone.

What is my best bet? CA or Mba ? I want a solid future.

Please let's not talk about this place anymore, it's demeaning to Mr. Luthra himself. After all the star departures, the current admin is not doing anything to help or retain clients. Speaking as a client's son myself with positions in the said client's business.

It's a dead firm, didn't offer internships to tier 1 NLUs and def not hiring.

Assuming you are a first yr law school guy. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a serious hindrance to "make a career". Which is why POSH is mandatory.

Having worked with various firms, there are many serious predators, even in litigation where "rule of law" is enforced. Just because doctors work in the business of health doesnt mean they are very super healthy. Please visit a local police station to report a SA case and see the "rule of law" being enforced. Or maybe try getting a permit from BBMP through the usual way. Your understanding of reality is seriously demented. Im currently seeing this trend of young boys discrediting any accusations of SA as "fishing for nothing". Bro, nobody is fishing, they are getting sexual harrassed- touched inappropriately, forced to do things against their will in the very place they are working.

hahaha Jindal social justice warriors, students and faculty are always first to doxx, malign and personally attack whatever they think do not agree with their world views

You have created whatsapp groups just to do this collectively

you are just getting a taste of your own medicine

Disclaimer: I am not at Luthra (or at Saraf), however I worked there pre-split and it was my first job – so have a soft spot for the place.

I have been hearing a lot of murmurs from L&L post-merger with Harry’s outfit. Quite a few departures (and some in pipeline), huge unhappiness with new management and non-law functionaries, Luthra family has gone back on equity distribution, and new management has fired the external consultants hired to advice on governance etc.

Can any insider shed any light?

Sad to see an institution built over years going this way!

Pay depends on your PQE with 25k-ish being the base. Work hours really depend on the amount of work you have, usually the juniors stay back till 10 PM. He has a roaring HC practice with very very limited trial matters and even those are handled by a junior with 7/8 years of experience. Hope this helps!

Sorry to be blunt, but I don't think you have an option to go and intern (at least in near future) with law firms or say other organisations having a national footprint. It's been two years since you graduated, and I am assuming you were preparing for a competitive exam. In which case, it would be better to start your practice under a local advocate. Try then climbing the ladder by having an experience with a reputable advocate while along side gain skills (maybe through publications and courses which are actually valuable; and don't restrict yourself to law). In that case, maybe after 3-4 years you would be in a position to target some boutique law firms which have a small unit for say 5-20 lawyers.

Which legal practice area will be hit first? 🤣
