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.

This is genuinely the question that every NLU student (who is not the offspring of a judge/senior advocate/law firm partner/parliamentarian/CA) should ponder upon.
How would a law student from a non-metro city be able to compete with their counterparts in such a scenario? Have such students taken a wrong decision to pursue law and invest in INR10+ lakhs in a profession which will take a very long time to give reasonable returns?
Doesn't this reflect an emerging polarising situation? Law is still not a big industry like IT. But its uneven expansion seems to be spreading very fast. This is worsened by the fact that Delhi continue to be primary seat for litigation. Supreme Court does not seem to part away with its powers and establish circuit benches. Except 3-4 High Courts, all are very feeble and their judgments/orders itself are looked down in the top court.
How should such students survive if they don't want to migrate to such cities and still have decent career in law. Do they have any option?
