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.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
You need to check profiles of students who get PPOs and are claimed to have been helped by these gurus, it's evident that the kids have been putting efforts from get go, you undergo 8-9 Tier 2/1 internships to end a PPO in 5th year only to be claimed and sabotaged by XYZ on account of their help/ guidance. You think you are this influencial?
Don't get me started on WhatsApp screenshots of happy customers, is there anything more phoney than those (maybe Amazon reviews but this follows closely too)
This isn't targetted any individual, institute, tier, gender etc but is a grievance I've had since long. I mean I'm happy that someone was smart enough to not burn their youth in unyouthful tier 1 firms, and decided to go for better law life, but not at the cost of underprivileged law students (in terms of system opportunities) and as Indian parents are, they also get ready to shell thousands on useless calls/ stupid ass courses) etc etc. I know it's not illegal, but not ethical by any way. And if you are fucking happy with this money, then I don't know is humanity even alive? Do you think you really helping anyone ffs? This is mind you when you left corp law at 1-2 pqe max.
To the students from pvt colleges too, a message to never succumb to pressure and waste money on shit ass places like these. You ain't in need of any help for tier 1 interviews or for internships, and there is no end of the world if you don't get them too. At this stage no point in wasting money when these gurus flex working from comforts of mountains and homes and scenic places and what not.
Ps- experienced users of LI please come forward to provide bro bono emails below this to help anyone with interview/ internships if you can. Make a fake email and take an initiative to atleast read/ skim emails and try to help anyone you feel is deserving/ stuck. We at our levels need to begin this change or else people willing to put efforts will be engulfed by lazy ass fuckers such as these "who ran away from their life as lawyers to help others make life as lawyers ". The irony in the closing sentence and the situation in general. Pity pity, pitiable state of lawyers we are bringing in this shambolic system.
For them, if they are getting a right direction by paying a couple thousand rupees, what's wrong in that. Let me tell about myself. Being a student from non-NLU, when I personally texted many working people for guidance, and they never cared to reply back. This is when I approached a few career mentors and they gave me the right direction to proceed. Ofcourse, I got the job due to my own efforts, but getting their experience and guidance really helped.
Have you ever been on a rant like this for Dominos or alcohol manufacturers for selling overpriced stuff? Do we even think twice before shelling out 1000s of rupees on restaurants or movies? Then why be so negative and suspicious when spending few 1000 rupees on something that is definitely not wasteful and comes in the ambit of 'educational investment'?
Just my 2 cents. You are free to disagree.
1. They should not take credits, as students worked hard themselves, right?
2. Students also should not join coaching institute and should instead mail successful past year aspirants to take 'free guidance'.
Grow up OP. You haven't seen the world. No one has got time for guiding others for free. Even you would like to work 10 minutes more for your law firm beyond your designated time if they don't pay you overtime
"It is no secret. There are some woke cancel culture people in some top law colleges who hate me, launches social media tirades, and spread slander about our courses on social media anonymously without any evidence. ...Why? Why take so much trouble? It is because LawSikho has increased competition for them on every sphere....Now this makes a lot of people whose entire sense of superiority is built around the fact that they went to a certain school by cracking a certain exam damn uncomfortable. I am claiming that anyone can beat them without that pedigree! How can I do this?"

I've always been advised to talk to seniors at your internships after building a rapport. Advice from people working in the industry goes a long way than someone who hasn't been in the working legal industry since 2018.
