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?
- Will NLSIU return empty-handed 7 years in a row, or will their intense lobbying bear fruit?
- Will GNLU continue its strong showing in recent years? Or will NLUD, NUJS and NALSAR add to their tally?
- Will it again go to the student with the wokest SOP, promising to return to India and work for empowerment of the marginalised? Or will they get real and be fine with giving it to a corp law candidate, who tells the truth that he/she wants to settle abroad?
- Will Jindal finally get a Rhodes scholar, after 10 years of coaching their students for it?
- Will we see some WTF choices? For example, the 2019 Rhodes for law went to a girl who did her undergrad from King's College London (see below). It is baffling how a Rhodes scholarship for India went to a girl at a foreign university, even if she is an Indian citizen. In that case there are thousands of Indian citizens studying abroad who can apply!

Given the historical preference for woke candidates, this should help his chances.
