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?
1. Environmental Law is a vibrant practice area here. CRZ Regulations, Forest Matters etc are all busy fields and there seems to be more than enough to go around.
2. Property Law here seems to stretch beyond the usual title disputes+specific performance etc. Zoning + Planning + Building Regulations are all common place.
3. I don't practice much on the criminal side but there's a lot of NDPS work.
4. The Bar here is one of the nicest things. Friendly, accomodating, everyone knows everyone etc.
5. Professional Quality of Life is definitely better. Not everything is URGENT.
I disagree with a few things Guest has said, but that's my personal experience and I'm dont want to run anyone down without hearing more.
1. The figure of 1-1.5 lakhs a month for someone with two years experience sounds unreal, I have about four/five years experience and I make a fraction of that, and I'll go out on a limb and say that I have decent skills as well. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong!
2. Offices closing at 7:30PM sounds like a dream, and most lawyers I know shit shop only at 9PM or thereabouts. Saturdays are generally working, and the occasional Sunday is not unheard of. Not bragging about overworking or anything, but just stating it as I've seen.
P. S It's nice to see Goa evoke a response on LI!
Also, I am going to be up all night wondering who Guest could possibly be!
