Well op who is apparently talking about noveau rich is somehow turned who line of argument into a classist thing which is abhoring only point is this whole thread want ot make that fake show off is never good it was never about class cant be bought or you have to born it. You just sound like generation wealth waale buffon.

Okay, what's the nexus between academic standards and 1984-style restrictions like explanations for entering campus after 11, suddenly locking terrace, moral policing by guards and teachers alike and the list goes on. Mere deflection from actual steps that can be taken to rectify deteriorating "academic rigor." Not even a single constructive suggestion.

Supermajority of GB supporting vandalism and crime does not make it more legal. It just goes to show that your legal education is deficient and that you're wasting your parents' hard-earned money. Why not tell them your glowing activities and see how they take it? They are funding your education, after all. Or will they simply ignore it saying boys/girls will be boys/girls?

Tier 1 obviously, if you want to live the good life. You’ll be able to live in a nice apartment, drive a German car, wear nice watches, take foreign holidays. Equity partner level deals with ministers, and titans of industry. You’ll be in the room when global M&A deals are negotiated, parties at 5 star hotels regularly.

UPSC was great till liberalisation, now consultants run the show at the centre and state levels. All this for some 10LPA salary for decades. Your social life will revolve around small town sensibilities in Jabalpur or Ranchi or some such.

Very few students from Bvp could make it to good law firms. Glad to see, there are few students who did it! (Got to know them from LinkedIn).

Heard 1-2 also got PPO this year which is huge.
Rest, don't have any option left, so they have started preparing for Judiciary:)

In your eyes, it isn't. However, you are not the arbiter of rules. You do it because you think that moot judges or firm partners will throw you out and you are scared of that. The professor is also allowed to do that from their room. To the professor, their room is their office. They are allowed to set the dress code in their office. You are merely setting standards based on your convenience. You are not mandated to go to their rooms, after all. Don't go if you don't like the rules. Any rational individual will consider that fair. Clearly, you aren't one.

It is one of the highest paying jobs and CTC is around 24 LPA. You will have fixed hours most of the time and will be based out of Mumbai. However, quality of work may differ based on the department and boss you get. Till now promotion has been very timely but there is a likelihood it will slow down about 3 promotions in future considering frequent hiring.

So why aren't you seen wearing those during Day Zero, or while mooting? Go ahead, normalise that, instead of making teachers easy target. Every person has a right to set down basic rules in their private space. The teacher's own room in the campus is her private space. You've got a problem with the rule, then don't go into that room. Interact with them in class and leave it there. While you are at it, might as well start wearing vests too instead of t-shirts. Helps with the humidity.

This is an interesting thread. What I don’t get it is, where is all this money coming from? Law firms don’t pay well enough for extravagant items unless you are an equity partner. Even most equity partners can’t comfortably buy very high end watches or cars (not entry level luxury cars or watches). If you look at tier 1 firms, only a handful of partners have equity. Out of that, there are different ranges of equity.

Firms like Trilegal may give equity to all but new equity holders would have less. It would be interesting if someone can tell me, what is the expensive range of watches and cars that they think lawyers can buy. I am not talking about big founders of law firms (or guys like AR, RM, etc., who are not the norm).

As most of these people are seeing money for the first time, it is getting to their head. They want attention and validation. It is unfortunate since the quickest way of losing money is spending money to seek validation, or to show people that you are rich. In my experience, law firm peeps have very little understanding of personal finance and often end up miserable and financially ruined because of overspending.

Wtf is is that good? What is the work culture like, especially at the Mumbai office?

Will consider JurisCorp immediately if the teams are even half decent, as compared to the T1 hell hole that I am in. (A2 at a T1)

Any help/ advice/ inputs with respect to the work culture, growth and salary would be appreciated thanks.

My dear, permit me to dish out a spoonful of unsolicited enlightenment. For some, education is more than just a door to wisdom; it’s the golden ticket to a larger life, one peppered with more zest and fewer yawns. Think of it as a transformation – from mundane shirts to suave tailored suits, from watches that demand monthly battery bribes to ones that shimmer without interruptions. Now, if they wish to swap the memories of past struggles, be it their own or their ancestors, for a splash of material luxury, who are we to judge?

Witnessing someone morph into a Patek-wielding, "Taj-only" espresso elitist might seem like watching a Cinderella story. But, while it's easy to dismiss such displays as cries for "look-at-me" validation, don't we all, at some level, yearn for something deeper amidst life's clamor? So the next time you're tempted to side-eye those flashy lawyers, remember, beneath those polished shoes and power ties, beats a heart, perhaps yearning for a smidgen of recognition in the courtroom of life. If that means shedding humble beginnings for a touch of Armani elegance, then so be it. After all, life’s a stage with its own set of dramas and the hallowed halls of law firms? Oh, they’re just another theater.

It's all rather amusing - the debate, I mean. Materialism is as good as spiritualism/asceticism/minimalism, and it’s really just a matter of choice. If a Seamaster or Yacht-master sets your heart aflutter like a teenager with a crush, by all means, splurge. But if your soul resonates with the simple ticks of an HMT Janta or a Casio, then rock that watch with every ounce of your being.

Let those with the material shine in their glory, and those without, have the empathy to appreciate the spectrum's other end.

How is this trollish? LI did a story on this, where Jiggles rep actually came to comment and when asked about which university or UGC recognises those online LLMs and where are they going to place those students, ran away after saying that we are an IOE, we don't need no recognition! However, after that they started giving the same certificate to online and offline LLMs unethically and illegally.

Guys, I am currently a long term intern w a T1 and graduate soon, i really want to know everything about joining an in house because the growth aspect (in general) as well as the money and work life balance fascinates, perhaps and EY or BCG, could you guys please help me by giving out details as to how in house works, the JD and everything about it one should know, thank you!!

@Mods: Several comments made in this thread are not showing. As in, not even as yet to be moderated or marked trollish and hence not published. I have noticed from personal experience that this is happening mostly when I am trying to respond to or support a comment made by someone who's logged in with a user ID. Like NUJS Batch 2025 here.

I have heard from multiple professionals working in the energy project’s infrastructure field about the trilegal team being best in this field.

Please help me figure out how to go about scoring an internship at the firm as a Non-NLU kid with the chance of it converting into an assessment or a PPO.

Would be really grateful.

BRO NEVER DECIDE YOUR LAW SCHOOL AS PER NIRF. FOR EG IF YOU FOLLOWED NIRF 2021 YOU WILL END UP PICKING NLUD AND SYMBI OVER NALSAR. AS LONG AS CORPORATE PLACEMENTS IS YOUR GOAL. JUST DO AN INDEPENDENT STUDY OF LAST 5 YEARS PLACEMENT RECORDS OF ANY LAW SCHOOL. TRY SPEAKING TO ALUMS AND INDUSTRY PEOPLE LIKE HIT SOMEONE UP ON LINKEDIN. I ENDED UP SPEAKING TWO A COUPLE OF PARTNERS AND SOME ASSOCIATES BEFORE I FILLED UP MY CLAT AND OTHER ENTRANCE FORMS. I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME, RATHER THAN FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF DIMWIT NIRF NARCISSISTS HERE. EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW THE LAST THREE YEARS THRED ON NIRF ON THIS WEBSITE YOU WILL FIND THERE IS A NEAR UNANIMOUS AGREEMENT EVEN IN LAW SCHOOL LOBBIES THAT NIRF AS BOGUS AS THE WORD BOGUS GOES.

This session was organised for only senior batches right? And as far as I can tell (having attended it), they had close to 10-12 students. they kept it in their office as they wanted the session to be with a smaller audience of 10-15 students focusing on senior batches only. Which is why others didn't know this was happening.

I think they should do it for all bagches.

This is a problem with the general watch market. There are great watches in the 30-50k range, and great watches in the 3-5L range. But the 50k-2L range is quite dry (the top brands are just out of your reach, while the tier 2 brands in this range are not value for money). By way of analogy, buy a good 15L car, or wait till you can afford a 35-40L car. The stuff in between are all bleh.

Dude, how on earth is an A0/A1 supposed to afford an Omega, let alone a Rolex? Best for him/her to start with Seikos/some select-Tissot models. If he really has an eye for a watch, maybe he can get a Seamaster once he makes SA (but that would also be stretching it, budget-wise). Obviously, I am assuming he comes from a comfortable family (no debts/financial obligations at home, nor is he taking money from the parents).

Not just law firms. Brand awareness happens throughout the corporate sector. Nothing wrong in it. In the West even Uber drivers drive Mercs and regular people buy brands like Cartier. Congress socialism kept Indians suppressed for many years and now people just want to live decently.

PA at T1 make 50-70L, IAS can easily clear 30-40L after a few years. That's just cash. No need to buy life insurance, health insurance, pay rent, save less for retirement etc. Less lifestyle costs as well - no need to show the financially successful image by driving mercs, wearing tissots etc

IAS officers even at junior level get humble dwellings but in posh areas. A PA would spend half his salary just on rent to get a south mumbai/delhi apartment.

Only the nouveau riche or those who have experienced abject poverty talk about brands or show off what they are wearing. Most of these people are not worth talking to or bothering about. They may work in T1 firms, but they still don't know how to behave like the wealthy. Class can't be bought; you are either born into it or you learn it. If you don't understand how a Patek is made, what's the point of spending so much on it? It's just a bad financial idea. The problem with law firms is that they have a structure that forcefully turns you into a well's frog. So, the next time someone talks about what they are wearing and they are doing it only because they want to flaunt the brand, just smirk and move on.

Same condition here bro, without any job till yet all interviews given only to be offered assessment at last ( And mostly getting this reply "We will get back to you") . Assessment is quite big risk after graduation. I feel very sad when i see people with below average cv( not judging their strength, i do understand everyone is unique) getting job due to Jacks/ contact and I cant crack in any firm with some what good cv having t2 and t1 firm and somewhat okayish publi and moots. For 1st gen lawyer its a very cruel world, most 1st gen lawyer are middle class and some lower middle class escaping the life realities is very hard. Law as profession has no objective assessment for getting job like good Moot court, good publication, good internship, in the end it all depends upon partners or SA PA mood which very subjective akd luck based. Even after getting all you ponder was it all worth it? Even i didn't get the job for us 1st gen lawyer another battle would after joining firm proving ourselves to be capable, developing attitude that is based on (showing off our fake wealth) to be in good books of partners/ SA PA. Also another battle is how to survive cruel, toxic environment of firm. With this bid adieu

No Chamber does.

Currently interning with a senior. He is very kind and generous to me. Takes care of me by giving 8-10k as a stipend. Associated with him for a year now, will continue. I don't think he will deny paying 40-50k after investing 2-3 years upon me.
Note - He pays 20-25k to freshers.

Your definition of interest of all batch is not to have to study, get grades as freebies, multiple shots at clearing exams, and a high paying job regardless of what you do in five years. That's not really in the interest of the institution and even the students in the long term.
