Please add Justice Tejas Karia to the list too. He's a double-qualified LLM holder, with one degree from UK.
Certainly not. She's more honest than most judges.
So are you telling me that the foreign universities will teach you transfer of property act or CPC/CrPC when you go to do your LLM from there?
Contrary to your assumption, those who want to read foreign law go for LLB in the UK or for the JD in the US. LLMs aren't teaching local foreign law
He still managed to make it to an nlu and worked hard. There are people who may have a legacy but still are genuinely hardworking and strive to make the most of their resources. Stop downplaying their efforts under the garb of nepotism
I would prefer if the govt appoints NLU LLB judges than foreign LLM judges. That is a better measure of quality. Also, foreign LLM courses teach only foreign law. What good is that in India? In India it is more important to be aware of the CPC, IPC, Indian contract Act etc.
Why does the post only mention Shekhar Saraf's LLB from NLSIU and not the LLB of the rest? NLU imperialism really needs to go.
Because Calcutta Bar is the epitome of aristocracy. It's an exclusive club where somebody will definitely be related to somebody, and in the rare case they are not, they will belong to a rich zamindari lineage. It is a sick place to practice.
Nor does a foreign LLM. Your Corp career barely requires an LLB even. Nor does your lit career. Except as a stamp.
Definitely; Just like Ananya, whose Dad has never been to Koffee with Karan. The struggle is real.

Sorry to say but too many nepo kids in the bar and bench.
And its undergrads aren't any great shakes either these days anymore.
Strange that so many Cal HC judges went abroad. Even Justice Prateek Jalan from Delhi is originally from Kolkata and used to practise in the Cal HC. Is it a colonial hangover? Why not do an LLM from NLSIU, which is world class?
Also, did anyone check Cal HCs website, which has the Judges' background info? They have used terms such as, "lawyer family", "barrister family", and all; This is truly what the Bar is all about - nepotism.
Only hardwork and grit helps a lawyer be a better lawyer. If foreign degrees helped, they wouldn't be visited by just rich people looking to stay away from their house for a year long vacation.
I was impressed when found that an NLU alum is an HC Judge; Then found out that his father was a Judge, too. Disappointed as always. The nepotism will never go away.
