I recently graduated from a tier one law school and am working at a T1 firm. While I'm happy that the work in my team is very relaxed (GC) and people are extremely nice, I am also little concerned if it'll have an impact on my learning curve. In my 3 months of experience, I have only had to work post 8 thrice. What should I prioritise at this stage of my career? Should I start looking for a switch?

I am in the same spot, bud. I was working at a boutique firm in GGN for 2 years where I had flexibility and also got to visit client's offices, attend negotiation meetings, interact with counterparts, etc. Now I have accepted an offer from T1 in GGN and am not sure if I will continue to be doing such things, or will be just DDing my way for the entire year.

They (even the partners) anyways make much less than what one would expect from such an illustrious/ lavish looking job. Average construction contractors in tier 3 cities make 2x what the salaried partners at T1 make.

Better save some money and live a simple life instead of getting a sense of fulfillment from such needless material things.

The other faculty accepts those rules too, so long as he is not giving you directions to the contrary. And yes, the dress code is for the public space, not teacher's personal chambers. She can very well do that for the same reason why you need to knock and take permission before entering those chambers. But you lock breakers and vandals won't really know anything about such basic courtesy of course. She is not a stakeholder? It's her chamber that they were in! This is what happens when you just parrot certain words without knowing their meaning.

Taylor is a safe bet everywhere because NLU students are usually liberals and anti-Trump. So you can announce without worrying the you are a Swiftie. Conversely, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato and Nicki Minaj are hated because they behaved like first-class b****es towards Taylor. So don't proclaim yourself to be a KatyCat or Lovatic or Barb. You will make enemies for life on your first day of law school.

BTS is popular only in certain NLUs, like NUJS and HNLU.

+2. A friend of mine working at one of these places had a virtual intern, she was telling me that it was hard to really assign work or form a connection as such because of the virtual nature of the internship. Better to do it offline, I've also been a virtual intern during covid and its super pointless.

Kanga's juniors went on to argue on and lay the foundations of post-independent India. Was perhaps the most influential. Today's equivalent will have to be Venugopal.

It is sad that stalwarts like Salve, Jethmalani, Singhvi, etc. have not been as prolific in terms of promoting their juniors. Mostly reserved to odd successful juniors here or there. The profession is turning more nepotistic.

GSanks, Rao, Khambata, Nakul Dewan, Shyam Divan, Datar, Pachnanda are some names whose chambers hold promise considering how the majority of their juniors are doing. Of course, getting into their chambers is itself tough.

Almost got accused of rape! My then female bestie had come to my place for some work. After a while, things got intense and we made out for about 2 hours. She went back happy but on the next day, she regretted her decision to cheat on her boyfriend and blocked me. I tried contacting saying that it was a mistake which both of us committed but she threatened me saying that she will file a rape compliant against me. I have never heard from her since!

It's good if BCI conducts the exam and mandates all colleges to admit students based on the CLAT scores. However, I just have one concern with holding the exam in regional language which is that the ones who get good scores in the regional languages may struggle to understand the legal or BA concepts which would be taught in tough English. This may lead to greater number of people dropping out after taking admission or people suffering after taking admission.

BCI offers to hold CLAT in English and regional languages. The consortium of NLUs (that conducts the CLAT currently) is not a statutory body.

Expect changes in the CLAT 2024 itself, since GoI has already agreed for CLAT to be held in multiple languages.

Very informative article and of relevance to both NLUs and Jindal. The question to ask is: will NLUs/Jindal, in an effort to cosy up to the BJP, dump humanities courses/professors and replace BALLB with BBA LLB/BSc LLB? Will law firms also demand “de-woking” of law schools by dropping humanities and replacing with accountancy, finance, maths, coding etc?

First, we still have AK Rai. Second, jobs will get back to normal soon and once our grads become partners. Same thing that happened at GNLU will happen, ie higher placements. But nice to see the trolls wishing us ill, it’ll make it all the more satisfying when we make you stuff it.

The professor has a shared office and the student had gone to a different faulty for some work. There was no reason for this person to interject and humiliate someone who did not even come to her/him. Moreover you can’t compare an internship/moot court with meeting a professor. As per the official policy there is no dress code so no professors cannot unilaterally make rules themselves. Also she wasn’t even a stakeholder in the situation. I think poking in your nose in a situation you have no stake in is more indecent than showing some legs.

Hardly 2-4% employee's at every organization may chants that "professional growth is not their priority" but until they know its benefit & Once they know, all peaceful sleep/hobbies and other works will be thrown in the dustbin.

Simple -

Job w/o progression is like life w/o aim

If people 'naturally' uses non-vacation time for internships, then that's on them. University is free to hold any activity including evaluation during that period. Even had the grand viva did not take place, many faculty would have held individual vivas or presentations during that period only.

If NLSIU allows such a flawed exam to take place, then it should pay for its mistakes, that's how law and equity work. Why should the aspirants pay for Sudhir's mistakes? Whether NLSIU asks Sudhir to compensate it for his mistake or not, that's an internal matter. Similarly, what 'real things' are necessary to give in a virtual convo? If the university can't print a degree for students on its own, then it should shut down. He's greedy and not held accountable for his actions. If he wants to leave CLAT, who is stopping him exactly? Did he leave this year?

If you don't have that much time to 'waste', then you don't have to meet the teacher. It's not a compulsion. Same way that you don't have to moot or appear for an interview or intern, but if you do, then you would have to wear pants. To you the former may not be worth making such an effort for. The teacher has the right to expect that you would.

You expect a person to go to hostel wear full pants, sweat their ass off, then come back to the teacher, that takes 30 minutes to do, you really want to waste that much time just because a teacher who is sitting comfortably in her ac room wants to see some full pants, and when the person reaches the teacher they will be long gone,

There is ZERO proof that any boat fee went into Sudhir’s pocket. It’s lebellus to argue he’s defrauding people when that’s not true.

You might not agree with why he went down the boat road - but he faces a do or die situation in that pandemic year , his was the only institution to at would be financially impacted by not admitting students , and the clay consortium had postponed clat some three to four times. It’s ridiculous. If he hadn’t gone his own way- those guys don’t care they wouldn’t have done clat that year at all.

I honestly think nls should just have it’s own exam and pull out of clat - it’s a silly stupid exam that’s badly done.

He lost in the SC on procedure- so okay they refunded the money- not all of it but some of it. The money they didn’t refund - went to paying examiners and contractors and test centres. Who do you propose should pay them ? Should they starve because of a Supreme Court order ? If you want Sudhir to pay them personally for something he did as head of an institution - which was in the best interest of the institution - I’d have to think you just want him to suffer because you’ve developed some parasocial relationship.

The logic for the virtual convo was the same thing- stuff was paid out for a real convocation - and the institution needed the money to survive. Y’all don’t realise how fragile nls’s finances were when he took over. And he works for the university - not for you.

If you’re gonna accuse him of corruption - which LI wouldn’t allow if they had any integrity, they only allow these allegations against one person. Then the onus is on YOU to prove that he saw one red cent of any of that money.

I've been a constant advocate of this feature (https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/244312-the-legally-convos-30-beta-version-is-here#comment-252723) but there are a lot of back-end modifications in process currently. I'll surely bring the issue forward though :)

What did GNLU SAC do about the mysogynist performances by the EPFO trainees during freshers?

There was an uproar in the campus when two boys from EPFO training programme in GNLU attended the freshers of 2028 batch and made some extremely misogynist comments during their songs, shayaris and stand up. There was also a performance that targetted a particular minority community. Literally nothing happened after that.

What has happened to those to "collectively took up the responsibility?" Nothing, which was exactly what the plan was all about. So now you have shown that you can commit crimes provided you collude and work together. Congratulations, that's how mob lynchings work too in principle.
