We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Is this a new kind of PR effort [...]? Or are most of you just unrelenting NLS fanboys/student trolls that have nothing better to do than stalk achievements of NLUs ([...]) and flame a comments war on this site? I’m genuinely curious.
In either case, I would suggest that these [...] authors do their research before setting off to a conclusion. In this thread alone, the [...] who commented first claims other NLUs offer MPP, which they don’t. NLS started this MPP in 2014, nearly 25 years after its foundation. And NLS’ LLM isn’t the most sought after in the country, I’ve seen that NLUD attracts better students in the past 4-5 years especially because of their faculty (maybe that might change now).
Secondly, why are NLS students so insecure about their college that they feel the need to troll every comments thread with random achievements (which most other top NLUs match these days) while making it look like NLS is the only one to have achieved that? Clearly, NLS doesn’t have the same reputation it had 10 years ago when it was considered definitively superior to most other NLUs. The difference is very less today and that too based on legacy parameters like alumni and not on current student performances.
Why don't you folks who are singing praises about NLS justify why NLS isn't even featured in this year's QS Rankings? Don't tell me the admin chickened out on it after losing out to JGLS last year.
As for comparisons with the JGLS MPP, I could not find info on their alumni achievements, but I don't think anyone will turn down NLSIU for JGLS, which is unaffordable for middle-class students.
It explains that you nothing about the course or the college, and just want to spam. Not even 5% of the MPP batch is from a law background, it's a completely different course and not related to law, and offers a much wider perspective than our law degree tbh.
