You're going about the discovery the wrong way. GenZ isn't hypocritical because they backtrack when they see consequences. They are easily bullied because they easily stand with statements they never believed in in the first place purely because they are too vulnerable to the virtue signalling herd mentality. This is a serious issue across all universities that though a silent majority is remarkably conservative and even orthodox in many respects, they are coerced to put on the facade of appearing liberal for social credit.

I don’t know about this place. But I can certainly tell you what you should look for in any firm.

Assess any firm on the following parameters: (A) deals done by the firm in last 2-3 years; (B) rankings as per various prestigious accolades - to give a fair idea about the current market standing; (C) compensation it offers - this is relevant because compensation offered is in sync with (A); (D) the attrition rate of the team, and (E) real work exposure in area you want to grow.

Make your decision through a detailed examination. Talks to peers who had worked there, reach out to them. Navigate through the website and LinkedIn page of firms, as they give you a fair idea of (A). And then make the decision.

All the best.

NUS hasn’t mentioned the exact number of Rhodes scholars in the archives yet. So the verification will be tedious to say the least.

Law School’s achievement of churning out 25 scholars has been sensational no doubt 🫶.

BUT

Speaking of world record - Harvard dominates every other university by a huge margin. So I really hope you are not trolling 🤌

The fact that so many Harvard students are dissociating from the statement after the threat of law firm/hedge fund blacklisting shows the utter hypocrisy of Gen Z wokes. They are just cosplaying as Marxists and citing Chomsky to be trendy. If they were really sincere, they would stand their ground and refuse to work for law firms or hedge funds sympathetic to Israel.

Also, please tell me something guys: How come these Harvard kids aren't saying a word about the Chinese occupation of Tibet, the Turkish occupation of Northern Cyprus, the Pakistani occupation of Baluchistan and the Azerbaijani occupation of Nagorno Karabakh? Because it's not cool to do so? You won't get as many Insta likes or TikTok followers if you champion the cause of Baluchi Muslims or Tibetan Buddhists or Armenian Christians?

It's literally the same at every place Ive interned. All the tier 1s, the associates only keep giving good feedback and drown you in work without proper guidance. Then feedback from pe they shit. Like are you feeling competition from interns getting assessments? Maybe HR / Partner has to be more involved in this.

100% official and genuine list here, from the horse's mouth: https://imgur.com/a/1Xd2YWx

There are a whopping 25 names, which is a massive number. No other NLU has reached even 1/4 that number. Furthermore, in three years there were TWO Rhodes scholars and in one year there were THREE Rhodes scholars. Another record. I understand that Rhodes has got more competitive in recent years, but even in the last 10 years there have been 4 from NLSIU. Still # 1.

Now, suppose NLSIU is barred from the Rhodes scholarship for the next 10 years. Even then, will NALSAR or GNLU overtake the number of 25? I don't think so. It will be like trying to score 50 runs in 1 over.

So the lead is just massive and will never be overtaken.

I also wonder if 25 Rhodes scholars in law could be an Asia-wide record, ahead of NUS Singapore? Or even a world record? Does anyone know?

I think this is the key reason for the 100% perception score in NIRF.

I filled out the campus internship form. After that, I was given a link for HK assignments. After completing the assignments, I got an email from JSA Mumbai asking me to verify my details and upload my CV to continue the application process. The mail said that the internship being offered was for December 2023. Can anyone please tell me what happens after this?

Why are people so triggered that NLSIU lobbies for Rhodes and other scholarships? What's wrong in it? Just because your alumni network doesn't do anything doesn't mean you should rant against NLSIU! FYI Jindal too lobbies a lot. They have been succeeded to get some scholarships but not got Rhodes, so obviously merit is the main factor for Rhodes!

bro the thing is,

there are 1.6 billion Muslims spread over so many countries and the Middle East is immensely wealthy. They, through their sheer numbers are bound to have influence. There are many Muslim majority countries.

In contrast, there are only 16 millions Jews around the world, with 7.3 mil in USA and 7 mil in Israel, the rest insignificantly spread across European countries. Still, with only one Jewish majority country, the Jews have disproportionate power and sway across the most influential economies and governments.

Think about it - we have nearly a billion Hindus, but do you think we hold any sort of real power over institutions and firms and universities in other countries? When something "Hinduphobic" happens, at most a person at the place concerned will raise a hue and cry, the RW twitter bots will endlessly tweet and spread information about it, and then everyone will go back to sleep but that will pretty much be it. We can learn a lot from Jews, honestly.

bro/sis the culture is absolutely terrible and the A0s straight up to the partners are so unreasonably difficult to work with in the Delhi office (no idea about Gurugram). Your interaction with the partner is going to be non existent and you will be staffed on dead end researches or voluminous DDs with very little context on the same since the people are generally super busy. Also, do keep in mind to have thick skin and make sure that you are visible to the partner since its them decide callbacks and PPO interviews. Thanks and best of luck!

You are again trying to pass it off as moral policing so as to get the wokes enraged. The issue is a different one. The faculty wants you to put the same effort to meet them as you do when you meet others whom you deem important. That's not moral policing at all. You may disagree with that perspective, but don't try to fit it into your version of alt-truth. If you don't want to make that effort, then don't go into her room. If you have to meet other faculty in that room, then tell them that you're not comfortable meeting them there, unless they say that they agree with that faculty's stance. If they do, then they have the same right. If they don't, then it's up to them to make alternate arrangements or get other rooms for themselves, or protest against that faculty. Approach it from a strategic and ordered point, instead of raving and ranting.

Here comes the keyboard warrior again. Every faculty has the right to expect formal dresses in their own rooms. You don't get to dictate your standards on them, and you trying to do so is as big a violation of their right as you are trying to perpetrate this as yours. Don't talk rubbish about heat etc. You wear full formal dresses in that same heat when you wish to impress others like recruiters or moot judges. The faculty can have the same expectation of you as the latter can. You saying that they can't have such expectations doesn't really mean anything, since you don't get to make those rules. You are not being asked to wear pants inside classroom or common space. The faculty's room isn't your common space. You don't want to wear pants, don't go to their room. You spout random phrases like due process without understanding anything about it. You actually tried to rile students up about this, failed miserably and have returned to LI to vent your frustration. Better spend all this energy on attending classes or studying, so that you don't have to go begging for exemption to the VC one day before the exam. If you are that certain that you are in the right, then why not file a formal complaint against the faculty? See where that takes you. You want to take everyone around you casually except the people whom you want to impress, that's on you.

I expected Aries in the list, as they are known to be extroverted and headstrong. I'm surprised to see Cancer though, as it's the opposite of that. Also surprised to see Leo missing.

I wonder what Zodiac sign some fo our big lawyers are?

Hi, he was the graduate editor of that particular journal as far my knowledge goes.

Nope. He wasn’t the sole editor of that journal.

His team is heavily into partying and clubbing, very hostile, elitist and snobbish kind of team. When I interned there they didn't seem to do much work either. I asked them very simple doubts which they didn't know but were also rude about it. Typical SAM mentality. I felt more comfortable working with Vivek sir's team as they work hard and seem like they know a lot more.

Conde Nast Travellers top restaurants list for India is out. Which ones do you guys agree with? And which ones are great for networking with peers, clients, and general lifestyle (BOM/DEL/BLR)? I love Veronica and Bombay Canteen - great for an associates' dinner after a long week. I try to do 2-3 nights out a month at these joints (work drinks or first dates). Wasabi at the Taj is of course for special nights (a major deal closing on the firm/client tab or if its a serious date; 2-3 times a year).

Folks from other cities feel free to chime in, BOM folks would love to hear your thoughts as well!

Everyday I get fucking anxiety from reading LI. But also some part of my brain can't just resist clicking on these threads. Sorry for hijacking. I sympathise with you. Sorry man. All I can say is try to find a nice workplace with people who genuinely care about skill development and feedback. I know it's hard but you never know.

Le lo bhai agar select huye ho toh. There are so less opportunities already. Notice how many people leave corp jobs after few years. You will get bored with this one way or the other, and then might challenge yourself in different setup. Maybe kuch aur field mai chale jao. And who knows. Every experience counts some way. If you have many options now, then only let go such opportunity. Otherwise, in my opinion, you should take some chance and get into this.

Spice route legal is now offering upto 24 Lakhs to A1 and 30 lakhs to A2. I understand that its structure has huge variable components, however, even after discounting some variable payout, I think the total in-hand payout for many associates will exceed the compensation for same-level associates at firms like SAM, CAM, KCO etc.

Surprised to see that such smaller firms are offering more compensation than the so-called Tier 1 firms. Salary structure of all the big firms need a big revision.

Should we have that in India? Ask for names of NLU students who abuse Modi and Adani but later apply to CAM to advise Adani? If NLU students have the right to free speech to say that, surely CAM has the right of information to know the ideologies of students and the freedom of business to choose whom to hire?

Placements this year have not been very good. Sudhir needs to quizzed on his stand. He was arrogantly mocking the heads of colleges like IIT Delhi (Rangan Banerjee) for emphasising practical education in the classroom, saying NLSIU does not believe in a "shallow version of craft". No doubt NLSIU is very reputed, but so is IITD. Is it blasphemy to suggest that NLSIU can learn from IITD? And what makes Sudhir so superior to Rangan Banerjee, whose bio looks very impressive (BTech from IITB, former faculty at Carnegie Mellon)?

Also, US law schools have large clinical faculties and students are graded on practical projects, so what Sudhir said about top colleges emphasising theoretical principles only is patently false.

Happy to know what NLSIU students think about this. Do you want theoretical education only?

On the contrary, it is so practical that all your toppers use that formula only. That's how they maintain a good CGPA and also do plenty of internships so as to land the best jobs and scholarships. If you are driven, then you will be able to calculate the best options for you. If you are not, then you will whine about why you have to attend classes in order to get a degree.

I've been working in the General Corporate area of practice and my Fiancé is in the Navy. With about 3-4 years of PQE, is there any chance of a Law firm or Company offering me a permanent WFH option since I'd be moving with him wherever he's posted? I really don't want to give up on my career so please let me know what Firms/ Companies might offer me this.

How is The Indian Business Law Review, https://www.iblawreview.com/

Seems relatively new, would love to hear your thought if I should submit my manuscript here or NLS BLR. IndiaCorpLaw only prefers notes upto 1500 words and hence is not an option.

It's heating up:

1) Billionaire Bill Ackman threatens that those students who signed while not be recruited by major companies. https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/1711788747086233661

2) A big law firm has condemned a former intern and current NYU student for supporting Hamas.

https://twitter.com/WinstonLaw/status/1711850745383866580

3) Harvard Nepali students have retracted their support for the letter after 10 Nepalis were killed.

https://twitter.com/summertwenty20/status/1711849410617921646

4) Names of individual Indian students who signed are coming out. One is a former NewsClick intern and one is a queer. People are commenting whether Hamas tolerates queers.

5) Huge divisions emerging within the left. Barkha Dutt and Rohini Singh condemn Hamas. Both being called Islamophobic by a Pakistani activist.

The Hindu Marriage Act , 1955 states :

24. Maintenance pendente lite and expenses of proceedings- Where in any proceeding under this Act it appears to the court that either the wife or the husband, as the case may be, has no independent income sufficient for her or his support and the necessary expenses of the proceeding…

25. Permanent alimony and maintenance.—(1) Any court exercising jurisdiction under this Act may, at the time of passing any decree or at any time subsequent thereto, on application made to it for the purpose by either the wife or the husband, as the case may be…

How is this “against men” ?

The (non-equity) Partner in my team just joined one of these places, he says it has really elevated his lifestyle and networks. While the pricing seems steep, it seems like a good idea that PAs and above can consider - since you need to start building out your own clientele. These clubs are all very good to impress, imagine taking the son of an family business promoter to this sort of place (where he wouldn't otherwise be allowed in) - that's a prospective client who can be impressed, and you get to build your book.

The NLIU incident was not an outlier. We can go back to the CAA protests. We are seeing political divisions across NLUs. Student elections are being affected as well. Even fests and sports tournaments have become hijacked. BOTH left-wing and right-wing factions are to blame.

So what's going on? Is this something that started post 2014 and post 2016, with the rise of Modi and Trump? Is this the social media echo chamber phenomenon? Or is something fundamentally wrong with Gen Z?

Hi guys,

I have just recently completed my internship with a tier 1 firm in a niche team. The associates gave me a lot of work and told me personally that my work was really good and really helpful. But HR communications pe pata chala ki feedback form mein toh ulta likha hai when coming to callbacks.

Why do y'all do this? Agar kaam acha nahi hai toh boldo na when we follow up every day for feedback. Why lie? If I knew my work wasn't good, I would've atleast worked on the flaws? Also this gives false hopes and expectations of assessments and PPOs. Just be frank please.

what a joke avg salary of engineer is 6-8 lpa wth decent college and if we goin nitiit it will be 12-18 lpa with good work life balance also even non iit can get 12 lpa which is average of t1 firm so stop sihit about sakary of lawyers is more than engineer enginerr with some xperince are earnening mor ethan 20 lpa

They r NOT the only one minting the money , but after graduating from a top 5 NLU vs IIT/NIT , 10 years down the line if nlu guy just keeps persistence and patience and keep working he would be earning more than an engineer because to increase in salaries in engineering, u have to keep upskilling urself upto the latest tech in market and become perfect in ur coding skills , which is not everyone's cup of tea. But again in law firms working long hours is also not everyone's cup of tea
