Maybe CNLU will become a tier-2 NLU now from its present tier-3 status. On a serious note, there are only 2 VCs in Indian legal history that have actually built top law schools from the ground-up - Madhava Menon (NLS and NUJS) and Ranbir Singh (NLUD and NALSAR).

This appointment is good for CNLU, a step down for FM after NALSAR, but FM is no institution-builder. He's not going to make CNLU great. NALSAR declined in his time and NLUD overtook it. Bajpai didn't make RGNUL great and SKD didn't do anything much for NLUO. All of them rode on the coat tails of their predecessors at their tier-1 NLUs. So, no real difference will be seen in the larger scheme, but students of CNLU might have it a little better now. Big loss for NLUJ though, FM could've helped that place cope with their domicile quota now.

WTF is with these random threads on Linklaters? Atleast, Mod, you can do the basic of not publishing more than one thread on the same topic. First of all, if NLS or NALSAR are "dominating" release actual numbers. Second, speak to your seniors and such if you actually want to crack the interview, no one here is going to actually or post the personal details of candidates. Grow up and stop wasting everyone's time, kid.

Research it online, look for reviews. Remember things people say around the office. Start with places that are hipster classy a little further off so you don't run into people you know. Use this to get over your insecurities and become confident. The most classy people are warm and friendly with waitstaff and they tip well. Once you get used to the water, the ordering, thanking and so on, you can move closer. To be truly impressive, it's not about dining in the place. It's about having the warmth and manner that will mean that the staff recognise you, greet you and are extra helpful. That's what a date or a client worth their salt will notice.

They are all passouts of Amity Law School Delhi (ALSD) which was affiliated to GGSIP University Delhi, and closed for admission since 2018.

Amity Noida, Gurgaon, Gwalior, etc. etc. remain below average in law. You go when you have no option.

In Delhi NCR, NLU Delhi and Jindal global are the best law schools. You can think DU, Jamia, GGSIPU Campus (USLLS), VIPS, SLS Noida as next best choices.

Check out this video clip of the HC hearing today!!! Senior Advocate Bikash Bhattacharya (who is also a Left Rajya Sabha MP) argues before Justice Amrita Sinha that a certain area showed 95% polling according to the state, despite a large number of residents not being able to vote and some boycotting the vote. How is that possible?

Justice Sinha directs the DG of police and Returning Officer to submit a report by 3 August.

Pity the moderator is guided by bias instead of the merits of the petitions and automatically marks the topic as trollish. We could be on the cusp of one of the most significant cases in our modern constitutional history.

How long they take depends on the reference.If reference is a politician,Judge etc they will call immediately.If not these, they will take their own sweet time to drive you down to a point of desperation,Thats CAM.Start learning to dodge a bullet.Get your reference to call,if they accept CVs through reference they will have the political-courtesy to definitely respond to him,but not you.And if reference is a big shot client of CAM then they would roll out red carpet for you.

as much as you feel like your point about attendance is a great one. It really isn't, its not a 30% concession, you get limited deemed attendance even if you are representing your college in competitions and moots, eventually if you take part in two or more competition you will lose your attendance, and say what you may but given the quality of education at this college and the slowly dwindling pool of good professors, there is more value in studying by your self (considering all they do is read out the bare act / text book) and taking part in these competitions, than there is in attending class.

And no if you suffer from a genuine ailment, the college does not take that into consideration. I know batchmates who have had to voluntarily discharge themselves or sit in class with a highly contagious disease just to ensure that you don't get de barred. Law school is about studying hard, I get it, but the need to sit through a bad class simply because you need attendance is detrimental to the students

Its official now Faizan Mustafa is CNLU VC ✨✨

CAM Ahmedabad will be basically a lot of Adani work.You seriously want to consider other offices from learning perspective,it will be very difficult to switch to another firm if you get stuck at CAM Ahmedabad.With this whole controversy around Hudenburg report of allegations of frauds on Adani your CV could get stunted and limited.

Ashish is one of the best legal minds in corporate law. He can see through issues which most other experienced minds cannot.

However, there is little mentoring, he can be moody, and the folks directly working with him end up working with other partners on their deals, so you get the shit-end of the stick on those matters due to the economic model followed in WG.

The upside is that Ashish is typically partial to his direct juniors and hence the pay and promotions are better than the other associates in WG and you will end up working on a wider variety of matters than most of your peers, inside or outside WG - some enjoy that and others don't and sometimes there is more advisory work than is good for you as a junior lawyer.

That being said, not too many of Ashish's juniors are partners in WG today - and those who are in WG today are fairly mediocre (I say this with humility). You need a certain kind of a senior who nurtures and then retains people as they go along thier journey and Ashish isn't one of those seniors. If you are a rank beginner, then this piece is not relevant for you.

If you have a better paying offer, then go for that. Otherwise, you will be able to leverage your time working in WG if you can say you are AAA's junior.

CBI is most corrupt or most dumb.And please don't give the rubbush arguments that it is not Government department.It most definitely is,see the way CBI and ED are chasing political opposition in the year before elections.

You know the Nirav Modi files, thousands of files they found with original documents some PNB originals in CAM offices?This was found with stationery,rubber stamps etc.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.timesofindia.com/business/india-business/cbi-nirav-staff-hid-50-cartons-of-documents/amp_articleshow/64280516.can

In my opinion, CBI is being super dumb in not charging CAM with offences for aiding the tampering of evidence.How is it that CAM did not know or suspect anything when 50 cartons came to their office from Nirav Modi.And why was there stationery,rubber stamps etc?CAM does not know difference between originals and copies of documents?CAM cant tell the difference bet seen documents and stationery?CAM can't count..I mean there are 50 cartons coming to your office,you don't feel the need to clarify with client?What kind of "law" firm is CAM?Oh wait, its not a law firm.Its the rich Shroff family's priceless kingdom. 50 cartons of documents including originals were found with stationery,rubber stamp because being the lawyers CAM was ▮▮▮.CAM anyways has access and relation to Adanis,the "good friend" of PM to whom no government official will dare to say no.CBI not charging CAM seriously makes one question the level of filthy corruption in our country and especialky government departments, it literally looks like there is no limit.

CBI is most corrupt agency

It isn't easy at all. I'm trying to do exactly the same thing (albeit with two years of work ex and an LLM from a T6 in the US). I would avoid the US, you'll have to sit the bar exam two months after graduation (which is insane I have friends studying 12+ hours everyday) and if you don't manage a job before mid-October (90 days after your OPT kicks in - bar results come out end October) you will likely have to leave the US. This is NOT to say it isn't possible - I wish you all the very best and hope you make it out, I'm trying to tell you that those who manage through the US route aren't too many.

Another alternative is going to a top 50 (as listed in UK's HPI visa eligibility list) and then taking the UK route through the high potential individual visa. I hope this helps.

I don't mean verbal ragging and pranks but full-on violent bullying, like this 👇 (though the bullies get owned here).

Does it happen in NLUs?

Judiciary meets all your mentioned criteria - except freedom to pursue other things. Salary is approx 92k (in-hand, post-tax as per second judicial pay commission (pre-tax is 1.3 lakh pm)) and another 25k in allowances (not taxable). That’s the starting salary. Work hours also never go beyond 6 pm, which is also rare. But like I said, you’ll need permission from the HC to even do a lecture at your alma mater. You become a part of the judiciary, so some responsibilities and restrictions come with that, obviously you can’t go around saying this or that wherever it pleases you. I can’t speak of bank exams, have little knowledge about jobs at banks.

A) Your batch rank 1 will be considered an amazing addition after all and it will majorly help you in applying for BCL

B) Institution matters to a certain extent. However Tier-3 NLUs are not considered prestigious. Also do check if anyone of your alumni has qualified for this particular course or not!

NKC’s term ends this year or early next year, right? Who will be appointed after him? Second term for him? Another person from Bengal and one even more sympathetic to the TMC? Or perhaps a retired judge sympathetic to the establishment? Or a merit-based appointment which could see an NLU alum being appointed?

Among people from Bengal, two possibilities could be Rathin Bandopadhyay from North Bengal University or Indrajit Dube, currently VC of NLU Meghalaya. Or even AK Poddar or JK Das. Another possibility is a retired judge.

First, NALSAR isn’t an IIT Bombay equivalent, so don’t flatter yourself. It doesn’t have such a massive reputation unless you count LI trolls. Maybe you fail to read and comprehend properly like your friends who got embarrassed by Sadhguru, but let’s be clear, Nalsar today is not better. Merely citing placements is pointless because the percentage of folks with tier-1 firm jobs at NALSAR and NLUD is more or less the same given the variance in batch size. It’s just that NALSAR brings in more tier-2 firms and a few in-houses to increase numbers. And while you claim that no one cares about NIRF, everyone keeps citing it, including NALSAR admin themselves. So be a little humble and accept your limitations.

I'm currently starting out 3rd year of law school and I have been interning under an advocate who is a NLS grad. He has offered me guidance and mentorship gently about my career progression in law school and remarked that he appreciates my work ethic. He highlighted that my keenness and enthusiasm to learn would be appreciated in a law firm. I have an interest to join a firm and possibly alleviate my chances of getting a PPO (done with an international moot and bagged a good citation). However, I come from a private law school which isn't so good in terms of teaching skills but honestly, at this juncture I understand it extremely well that cribbing won't work. I want to ask the advocate to give me a contact/referral or pitch in a good word for me somewhere but I'm unsure how to have that conversation with him. I wouldn't want to spoil the rapport that I have fostered with him because he's genuinely a good human and has helped me become more sound with understanding the law. Any insights would be appreciated!

Only 5, lol? Most folks at NLUD would’ve got atleast a NALSAR/NUJS rank. These two places are simply not ahead of us. You’ll be in for a rude shock. But I’m not going to do anything for you, it’s easy enough to simply look at the CLAT merit lists and see the vacancies. And I couldn’t care less about your belief of NLUD’s superiority. Everyone that matters knows we’re better.

Government departments in India exist only and only for corruption.For an example nowadays BMC Municipal officers don't take bribe they demand a cut and profit percentage in the entire project value.Mereko 5 percent chahiye.Where does the Builder recover all the money gone into bribes?From the end purchaser - common man struggling to pay his EMIs.Want to gauge the corruption in a city like Mumbai,just take a look at how real estate prices have sky rocketed.The real estate did not become double value its the bribery costs inbuilt into the purchase value that has led to real estate prices in Mumbai skyrocketing abd becoming out of reach,there's a reason they say BMC in Mumbai is most corrupt corporation.

There is no learning to a fresher because what generally happens is that your lazy PA and partners that get the big bucks salary have not kept abreast of law and not been actively working because they get to dump the work on Senior Associates and Associates, so when they dont know the law and cannot teach the law they openly declare that its Associates who have to know the law.Then due to such incompetence the client will be forced to go and seek Counsel services whose face will be familiar to the Judges presiding on that matter and will be to extract/ensure a favourable order.Pathetic learning system where no one really learns and all incompetent/unethical Advocates earn.

ICUL is worth considering.

Hear me out!
I have heard froma senior, that they are ready to outmatch any tier1 offers of your interview goes well.

Also, they are expanding very fast, especially in IFSC practice.

They have a monopoly in funds practice.

They already pay the highest on Day Zero offerings in all Top NLUs.

Work culture is really good unlike any of the T1 law firms. Timings are more like an In-house job if you are moderately efficient.

I am sitting for the upcoming DayZ and CAM is my first preference. I'm confused which office of CAM should I opt for considering pay scale will be same across locations. Considering the pay scale, I certainly believe, Ahmedabad would ensure I save the most followed by Noida, Bengaluru and Mumbai. Does it matter if I start my career from Ahmedabad office of CAM. Also in recent talk, Cyril Shroff said Ahmedabad is prime target area of CAM and it has 3 offices there. Moreover, the office is directly under Paridhi Shroff Adani. GIFT city office is also one the fastest growing office. So will being in Ahmedabad affect my career prospects and growth in any negative way? Need opinions of seniors and people working in CAM regarding the same.
