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?
Quite shocking. Holding back a Ph.D. defence for 3 years (for flimsy reasons) is borderline criminal.
If you claim to be PhD candidates you should know enough law to make this happen.
Two quick questions -
1. Does NLS not have a transparent system wherein a scholar gets to know at what stage their thesis evaluation is at?
2. Can a VC sit on thesis for so long without getting reprimanded?
But I agree that NLS hasn't really been known for its research culture in the past. They are trying to change that now. In the field of humanities, except DU and JNU, to some extent, hardly any other university has much of an established research culture. In the legal field, in recent times, NLUD and now, NLS have atleast been trying to add to that. Besides, the hype around NLS due to CLAT (and the hype about the CLAT itself) has been dying for quite a while now.
