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.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Note that all 5 are women. You may not see that at the other NLUs.
What's path-breaking about either?
Further, happy to have the latter named as she at least cleared a competitive exam to work in the state apparatus (as mainstream as it may be). [...]
PS: The idea of having another such list creating mini-celebrities is ipso facto problematic.
She recently won the National Award for the best short fiction film.
Similar issue with some other names. Wonder if this was written by someone in this list.
(ps. grow up kid, nobody gives a rat's ass about banal law graduates)
Shamnad Basheer. The most respected man ever. RIP respected Sir. Infosys Awardee, IP Professor.
Also, this nonsense about "wasting a law degree" has to stop. They don't owe anyone anything, and they don't owe you anything, least of all an obligation to continue in law. They were good enough to get into an institute, they successfully graduated from there, and its up to them what they want to do with their degree and their life.
I would, rather, applaud them for ignoring tunnel-visioned critics and doing things that make them happy.
PS- your naivete is showing. IAS and Politics, you hardly use your legal skills. For that matter, you rarely use "legal" skills in corporate law, either. You use your judgment, your experience, and your worldview. How a court will review and interpret a particular clause or section is often the last thing on anyone's mind.
If someone is using the skills that law has given them, and if they are doing unconventional things with it, we want to celebrate them.
Get something else to kill your time and not into meaningless shit.
I am not from a NLU.
Anup S - Started the fantastic project 39A.
Raadhika Gupta - started the foodshaala foundation.
And for those who know firsthand the great grassroots work he's doing, Sidharth Sihag - IAS.
