Instead some independent body should conduct clat with reduced fees and inclusion of regional language would increase diversity, lastly it would be upon student that in law school whether they can study or not. Everyone should be given equal access afterwards if they canot survive ecosystem then its on them also lawschool can introduce english classes for them. All the classist argument that legal education is in english, they should understand that competency for fighting cases and building legal prowess is not only on English it is upon understanding core law issued, findin solution and solving problems even though interpretation of law require English but if whole system create a language barrier exclusion than god save this profession. Whereas, CJi is into converting judgement in all official languages. Here all the comments are just against the people who are not from not so good English background

Generally, legal recruiters work with lateral hires, not freshers. A lot of firms do fresher hiring through campus recruitments. I graduated during the pandemic and had to wait a long time since hiring had been done through campus recruitment and was stuck, but once I worked for a couple years at a firm, legal recruiters were willing to work with me.

TL;DR: most LRs will say no to freshers. Better to work somewhere for a couple years and then ask them for help if you want to change.

why are alot of comments these days marked as trollish? Is there an objective list where you all crosscheck and decide if a comment is legit or not or is this just the new moderators being unable to understand light-hearted sarcasm and want every comment to be straightforward AI-like?

Even then, why specifically this one?

Dont join law firms. Prepare for judiciary. Build something for yourself.

I'm stuck after joining a law firm - your health (both physical and mental) will be ruined, all the stories you've heard about law firms are true. Trust that and don't enter this horrendous life.

Only the pay is good rest nothing.

Well its not just congress. Modi govt is in it too. It is playing its caste politics indirectly in courts too.In guise of appointing member from these group it wants its own member in SC and HC. Hence people like dilip mandal and other caste activist are hell bent on collegium. Once it happens its over trust me our subaltern are not like american one.They are blood hungry leeches.

Caste census, private reservation and 70-80 percent resrvation are going to happen in 10-20 years whether you like it or not. You cant stop 60-70 percent country from demanding something,you can only postpone. We are in minority. Its not like this demand is new caste census has happened but data was found faulty as in india caste system is complex. There is no central authority deciding caste. Its brutal majotarianism.

So theres no hope but caste census so we exactly know how many we are but brahmin and other upper caste( some brahmin and upper caste come in OBC) from OBC must be counted in general category. That way we can be 35 percent something. So 35 percent will be decent share to compete. Right now also general category(non ews) competiting for 40 percent.

But i dont know i would like to see my country such a massive quota turn that even seats in bus will be divided on basis of population, tv anchors, journalist for obc, journalist for UC. UC company, some OBC construction company. Theres no way down, identity politics has to be countered by brutal identity politics.

See the problem is not bad or long hours. The problem is lack of respect and empathy towards the juniors. Everybody knows that law is not a profession for work life balance but getting negative comments, office politics, manipulation, toxic and hostile environment, even abuses and god knows what else is the problem.

"She was made to admit?" LOL! By this logic I can say that every convict who confessed just before/after being convicted was made to confess? She admitted to filing a fake case during the trial which is conducted in a private setup with judges who are mostly feminists and the accused. Please try and put aside your biases for a second, if the things which she has written in that post was true then the feminist alliance would have burnt down NLS.

You are just proving the point mentioned above. Saying that a person has an "attitude problem" is just vague and this is the kind of feedback seniors and partners give juniors when they have nothing constructive to say and get away with it. If an "attitude" doesn't work for one team, doesn't mean that the same attitude won't work for another team, so clearly there's no one "attitude" that works for every law firm. What does work across teams is good output which can be achieved by proper training.

Increasing seats without increasing infra only dilutes the quality of education. As someone who is currently studying in NLS. There are 4 sections for the batch of 2028 and the disparities among the sections are very high. One section is being taught by the best faulty while the other is being taught by someone who teaches wrong.

Batch size could be increased but that should not be done at such a rapid pace. He could have kept the batch size at 120 for 5 years then expanded it to 180. This way, quality of education would not have suffered so much. In the name of expanding and renovating the library, he has turned it into a cafe with sofas all around and hardly any fans. It's very difficult to study without a fan during the summer and unfortunately, the majority of the library does not have a fan, forget of AC.

Right now, he has closed down majority of the common spaces and the peace or learning environment is suffering to a large extent.

I am a masters student and i have never worked in a law firm setting.

Considering i will be sitting for placements soon, I was wondering if law firms allow to shift offices in different cities.

Like if i interned in bangalore, could i take my ppo and joining in gurgaon?

@user01 Can totally relate to the point of people coming from financial weak background like lower Middle class. Though i am not litigation totally understand your pain These so called rich or middle class pretending ti be rich from t1 cities wont be understanding the struggle their life is all about partying heavy on weekends with hard substances, buying unnecessary stuff to be fiting in with their flamboyant peers, going to very very expensive places. Living in fairy world etc. Not everyone has come from same background. These t1 cities or t2 cities people sith affluent background or upper middle class dont have to fulfil family meeds like buying own house,paying loans etc

I agree with your point about the police reporting and the retraction pressure. However, the alternative can't be merely to take everything that the complainant says on face value and pass a sentence on the accused. It is to give better support to the victim and help her make her case successfully before the authorities concerned and get legal redressal for her grievance, not conduct media trial of the accused as you are doing now and by your own admission did earlier with the accused too in campus.

Not all faculty hired by NLS are good. They are just close to people working there currently. There have been already been sems when a senior faculty had been teaching one section and a very junior faculty teaching another section the same subject. That's not at all an indicator of quality and emits a distinctly Jindal vibe.

I'm from batch of 2024. I want to appear for JAG interview, which clat pg should I apply for? The December 2023 one, am I eligible? Or am I eligible for only after my graduation is completed. Please guide a non defence bg person. Subsequently when can I expect my interview dates?

Joining law firms is worth it? As it has a lot of major cons. like health. And if one thinks that I will join a firm for one year, and will leave it after a year, for judicial services preparation, then is it that easy? I feel stuck when I think about, should I work to build myself for corporate or Judicial services examinations, while in the college.
Please give some suggestions.

So, if implemented in NLUs, merits seats will shrink further. It's getting harder and harder for general category people....

One of the faculty members has spoken against a referendum being conducted by students to decide evaluation pattern for themselves. Shameless students selected a viva pattern where questions would be given out of a question bank of 20 questions per subject which everyone would rote and score full marks. Finally a faculty member has spoken

No rebuttal of topic itself...Just speculation that he is casteist...He has absolutely denied this allegation..He was even in support of Caste based Reservation....Here is the link to the video : https://youtu.be/YjPZzq88U-E?si=j5po-vntFVvU5cYL

If you think the only difference between nls and jindal is that nls had less students- you dont know the first thing about indian higher education. Increasing seats and increasing access to quality legal education does not turn a university into a money making scam. Thats what JGLS is. If you look at the expansion plan- they will increase infrastructure on campus. Theres work happening everyday to that end. And if youre so bothered about fee increases- you should consider that since the new VC joined the scholarships on offer have also increased. Anyone who wants to study at nls can still study at nls. Theyve hired many qualified facutly with good reputations over the last year in a process thats as different from jgls as possible. Nothing about how things are done by nls admin are in any way similar to whats done at jgls- I say this as someone who has been at both these places.

Of course. Because everything that the students want is gospel and everything else becomes "pro-establishment". Pandering to student demands is what have brought this institution's academic culture to the brink of disaster. The perception of everyone including alumni today is that academics doesn't really matter at NUJS. You people are the reason why.

If you have cleared NET, then you don't need to give any exam, just the interview. Otherwise, the exam plus the interview. You need to get 50% above in the exam, but a better bet would be getting at least 65. For the interview stage, prepare a decent proposal and focus on methodologies, basic lit review, scope, RQs, statement of problem etc. Can't tell you about your guide question since you haven't mentioned the area or topic that you wish to do your PhD. There are several decent faculty members, though a little public law heavy maybe. It will also depend on how many scholars are already working under them, because there is an upper limit. But the university can always appoint an internal notional guide and get an expert from outside if they like your proposal. Hope this helps.

This is not at all a socialist move. It's a populist move. Don't confuse between the two. Socialism would have required policies wherein regardless of your economic background, you can get the same quality of education as someone more privileged, so this entire question of holding exams in multiple languages wouldn't have arisen at all. It does because we failed in being a socialist country, rather followed crony capitalism which has resulted in quality education being monopolised by private institutions in the school level, thus causing these problems. However, politicians still need the votes of the deprived, hence they are using these short term policies like bandaid.

are you for real? your previous comment appeared sensible, but this is literal victim blaming.

she entered boys hostel- boys can have sex

she entered friends room- boys can have sex

and yes, if a boy said that he would be believed. there's a literal case on that in NALSAR. dont worry you still have societal privilege.

you know doing drugs is not allowed right? and do you not do it. So if you are assaulted by a man in drugs do you make shitty statements like "are you even allowed to have drugs"?

Does her entering the boys hostel give him the license to rape?

"infer" bro what? you are inferring consent? did you not study rape laws and consent?

Even if a boyfriend has sex with you when you re absolutely not onboard with you, it is rape.

"consensual sex, is that not how things had occurred" tujhe toh victim se bhi zyada pata hai bhai about a crime committed against her

And no, there was definitely truth in the story. Maybe the legal system and university support dumb boys like you, but not others, you guys should be publicly shamed for making such statements.

3 responses:

1) Read carefully what I have written. I do support the real victims and I did agree that people in the admin sometimes have biases against the victim.

2) I don't see any reason to not callout people who had admitted to filing a fake case during the trial, it happened in the case that I am referring to.

3) If it's as heinous an offense as rape, the victim should ideally file a police compliant rather than go for POSH.

This is absolutely rubbish. Neither did the victim admit anything of that sort, nor was proper procedure followed. The SHARIC Committee indulged in grave victim blaming and there was more than enough proof to convict the accused. The accused admitted to have not asked for consent and he didnt 'have to move out of hostel'. He was booted out of hostel because of his indulgence in consuming and selling drugs. He didnt have an 'unfortunate year loss' but voluntarily stopped going to classes without any order asking him to do so. He was acquitted on frivolous grounds and there is no empathy that students at large have with the accused. Even the ones who knew him, stopped talking to him because they believed the victim. The accused and his friends slutshamed the victim publicly and made her life hell. So no, the page does not have to selective about anything, especially this.

ah. do you know the real cases and how effective posh is?

The accused is almost always acquitted and even if "convicted" some months of suspension. I know a real case of a girl being raped by a 5th year in a freshers party a few months ago. the guy later confessed to his friends as well. the girl is my best friend, so I know exactly what happened. I know how she was coerced not to file complaints and "settle" the issue. I heard the guy joking about it with his bros.

All I am saying is, dont comment anything and everything, without any context. I agree that false cases exist and they do affect the accused long after, but that does become a precedent to play the victim card in and put the blame on the women. How did you connect your story with the simple sentence.

"Heard some assault happened". Maybe sometimes victims dont lie? Maybe sometimes men rape women in these prestigious colleges. I dont think you need history lessons on the horrific cases in the fast few years.

In this particular case, the comment in question was removed due to strong grounds to believe it may have been trollish and not based on factual information. We aim to maintain a respectful and constructive environment for all members, and such comments can potentially derail discussions and undermine the credibility of the platform :)

You shouldn't be scared to tell anyone about what happened to you. People who take advantage of others by offering jobs/PPOs are the worst kind of people that we will ever see in this world. I am genuinely sorry for what that Equity Partner did to you. The way forward for you is by telling about the incident to your parents first, as they WILL NEVER judge you and instead will help you in every step you take. Don't even think of self-harm; there is plenty in this life to live for. Name that Equity Partner and fight your battle at the relevant forums. Perpetrators should never be allowed to think that since they hold a position of power, they dare to exploit someone; such people must be held accountable and even jailed for heinous acts. Again, I would conclude by stating that DON'T even think of self-harm; think about how that will affect your parents. They care for you, they really do, tell them about what happened to you, tell them everything.

My qualifications are LL.B & LL.M from DU.

Being from DU, I've already had the central university experience and honestly the administration is just frustrating that I no longer wish to pursue my Ph.D from here.

Professors and Seniors have advised me to try NLUs. As far as I have researched, only NLU Delhi is left, the rest are already finished with their Ph.D. admissions.

Does anyone have any experience with how the faculty, administration and overall Ph.D. experience is with NLU Delhi ?

Do they have a bias of admitting only NLU students or alumni ?

Do I need to have a stellar CV or will the admission purely be based on AILET & Interview?

Any information would be valuable. Thank You.

P.S. I can't afford to go abroad, due to financial and family constraints.

P.S.S. I want to make a career in academia, thus it's imperative I pursue a Ph.D.

There are certainly lawyers rich enough to charter private planes or buy their own planes, instead of flying business class. People like Salve, Singhvi etc. Or even Cyril Shroff and Zia Mody. So do they do so?

People on LI are busy discussing watches, but this is the ultimate status symbol!
