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 what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
2. These are professional conventions + grooming makes you more presentable & active, even a well maintained breaded isn't frowned upon these days.
2. Always start with trial court even if it doesn't pays you well, it's the investment you are making in your profession not the otherway around.
3. If you are jumping into litigation as first gen then please keep in the financial situation shorted atleast for first 3 years (job, parents whatever). Communicate the same with your parents/partner too.
4. Stay professional in courts, don't play games, what's app yada yada as you are under constant watch of bar & bench, specially if they know you are from "Nlu" (That tag as pros and cons).
5. Please know the case throughly, you never know when you'll get your chance to argue for the first time and that can be your chance to take off.
6. Don't join the senior counsel in the first place, learn the art and then get attached.
7. Its a small community, maintain good relations with lawyers irrespective of skills, if they can't make you but can ensure you downfall.
8. Be in court irrespective you have a matter or not.
Because it seems this platform is mostly used by corporate and high court lawyers. An anonymous space like this will be very useful for aspiring lower court lawyers without family background.
