It's very disheartening that people who haven't even taken a full fledged course are commenting shit about lawsikho Let's bust some popular notions!
Firstly, I couldn't get good work in online internships so for knowledge and experience, I joined the Diploma course in M&A, institutional finance and investment laws! I can talk only about this course and would encourage students to take it up! The material is good and we get templates of various agreements. In the last one year, we were majorly taught by XYZ who is the best faculty you can get as he's very friendly. As for his credentials he has graduated from a top tier nlu and has worked with a top 7 law firm. Other than that we were taught takeover code, the most daunting of the lot by someone who's presently working in a top 7 firm The exercises are pretty easy so there will not be an external pressure on you to perform but if you want to gain knowledge then it's a great opportunity! It's expensive that's a drawback but if you can manage I recommend this course for sure! Also to whoever commenting that they tap on the insecurities of lower NLUs' students, that might be true but if you want to learn then why does it matter? I'm from one of the top 3 NLUs and I'm happy I made this choice !
Latest tweets from Ramanuj in response to LI comments:
People who know nothing about LawSikho & have read some anonymous comments (looks like initiative of some competitors) are talking nonsense about us. This is the work we do, this is why they hate us. One person at a time, we will make such impact that truth will shine over lies.
1. Our learners who got jobs in tier 1 & tier 2 law firms even in this terrible pandemic job market
2. Got internships in international law firms and top law firms in India
3. Got well paid freelance work that most lawyers will find incredible
It is unfortunate that Legally India is publshing hateful comments against a young startup which is founded by a [...] middle-class boy trying to help those from similar backgrounds compete against privileged nepo kids. I am willing to bet many of the comments are fake and by people who never took a course. Also, we all know of a certain mafia which got iPleaders banned at NUJS. This mafia may be behind some of the comments.
You had me till your extolling the virtues of the 'tie-ups'. Only an insider would do that without explicitly revealing the nature of the obligations of the firms that is certainly not available in the public domain otherwise.
This is not true, and unfair to the founders of WorldWise. Please see their website, it really comes from people who have 'been there done that'. Their scholarship apps, Harvard applications, CVs and papers are put out for students to see. As they say, it is a privilege to have a network of alumni and faculty to help you with these things. The vast majority of students in India don't have that. WorldWise is just trying to bridge that gap. Their DD workshop, SPA/SHA drafting classes all look very useful. It can help someone get, and then do better, at internships. This will improve job prospects. Why are people jealous of that? WorldWise also has good tie ups with top firms like Khaitan, Trilegal and others to get their students internships. Which other law edtech startup has all that to offer?
I think the like and dislike button on the comments here should ensure that any patently false and malafide opinions are objected too. There is nothing wrong here
Which firm expects their interns to do full diligences or draft SPA-SHAs? Which law firm lets A0s have free reign on SHA/SPA drafting without sticking to a template pre-approved by a panel of partners? What nonsense is this. You want to learn constitutional litigation, arbitration and also SHA drafting in the same place and then use all of it at a law firm as an intern? Waah.
I am just someone who found their offering impressive. Why so much hate at them? They're not like LawSikho, no sexual harassment [seminar] or anything. Their programme seeks to teach actual practical stuffs, like how to do a DD, how to draft SPA/SHA clauses. All these things would have helped me before I did my first corporate internship. Now they have also started a video lecture series by top practitioners. Which is better than any class in law school. Gopal Sankarnarayanan teaches constitutional litigation, and Tejas Karia from SAM teaches arbitration. Not even the top NLUs can get faculty like that.
Thanks for reporting, the second paragraph did appear a little trollish but overall it maybe was merely hyperbole rather than outright trolling... Tag has been removed
You people just mind your tongue ok? Do not comment on things you do not know about and give wrong advice to law aspirants. You first do a course and comment. Please tell me how many law schools are teaching practical things. In 99% law schools it is just reading from the book.
They are just the same. Just few good personalities has come up to create a hype. Substance has to be there or else it's just a picnic for the two founders
[...] There's a new startup called WorldWise which is doing a really good programme. I have heard very good reviews, its run by NLUJ guys who used to work at Khaitan and Trilegal. So, they are clearly focused on the law firm job suitability/up-skilling market.
Please ignore the comments here by people who are either ignorant or have some agenda. Lawsikho tries to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Most law professors are from obscure colleges and have no practical work experience, not even a decent internship. Lawsikho webinars and classes are held by people who are practitioners.
As for the quality of the courses, you may see the testimonials.
I am thinking of doing lawsikho courses for contract drafting. Since the investment is significant (significant for me), I wanted to hear a feedback on utility of the courses, from a source not related to lawsikho (since they might be inclined to paint a rosy picture).
Can anyone give a feedback on how useful they might be in getting a paid assignments from abroad etc. I know their are success stories but how many of them?
Even lawsikho has tieups with khaitan and trilegal.
Plus they have come up with the said claim “100% money back guarantee”
If this money back guarantee would have been fake then atleast we would have come across certain cases against them.
Furthermore, Quora is of dissenting views.
Confused. Period
If yes, then I'm honoured!

This post sums up the entire business of LawSikho. Run courses [...] brand them on LinkedIN, [...].
Most of you are ragtag idiots who can only do roti-kapda - Pani.
what gives you guys the right to pass judgment on what is excellent and what is trash.
If you weren't average or below average you wouldn't be writing comments, bitching and moaning.
Get a life
Feels like the bias of an editor is creeping into the comments section.

There are Law Sikho Courses worth Rs.50'000. Is it worth?
