Congratulations to all the new Partners! I thought it would be interesting to find a breakdown of the law schools where these Partners come from. As SAM is the leading law firm in the country, their trends should give us a rough idea about the law firm representation of various colleges.
NUJS- 2
GLC- 2
HNLU- 2
GNLU -2
NLSIU- 1
IIT Kharagpur- 2
NLIU- 1 Mumbai University- 1
UPES- 1
NALSAR- 1
Amity- 1
SLSP- 1
Note- I couldn't find the alma mater of Dnyanraj Desai - Projects & Project Finance (Mumbai)
Inferences-
1. It is a pleasant surprise to see both the IPR Partners are from IIT Kharagpur. Goes on to show the value of niche selection by colleges.
2. HNLU arguably has the best alumni base among all Tier 2 NLUs by far.
3. No surprises at all with GNLU and NUJS who have been dominating corporate placements by absolute numbers for some time now.
4. Lack of NLS and NALSAR shows that their alumni no longer prefer domestic law firms, instead going abroad or in academia/policy/research.
5. The downward spiral of NLIU continues as it remains a shadow of its former glory. The overall Partner base is still the strongest.
6. NLUD has the worst alumni base amongst all Tier 1 NLUs. They still have a long way to go before calling themselves top three.
7. Good to see colleges like UPES, Amity, Mumbai University which proves that colleges don't matter in the long run! JGLS missing like always even though it is Partnership time for their initial batches. Makes you think.
