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?
There's a new dark mode theme, for reading LI at night (or during the day) to save your eyes somewhat, as well as some tweaks in functionality and appearance. If you have any feedback, please let us know.
We are also hoping to select and welcome new moderators soon and will keep you posted. If you are interested, please create an account (or log into your account), and leave a message below letting us know why you would like to help with moderation.
I'd like to volunteer for being a mod. I've been an active since 2013. I visit LI about VERY frequently (I'm off all other social media), so quick moderation is guaranteed. I also pinky promise to be fair and unbiased.
The downside is that this won't please conspiracy theorists who thought the algorithm was biased against them personally :)
Kindly consider this comment as my application to assist with LI Moderation. The two primary reasons to apply are: (i) having been a long-time reader of LI (5+ years), it has tremendously helped me in navigating law school and becoming a moderator would be an ideal way to give back to the community; and (ii) prior experience with forum moderating (non-legal/academic).
Thanks!
Given that I've previously highlighted instances of moderator bias towards specific viewpoints, I am committed to maintaining objectivity and quelling any personal biases when carrying out my moderating responsibilities. My engagement with every thread remains consistent, whether in the role of a moderator or a member of the audience :)
You probably won't even know who Scooter was.

Kindly consider my comment as my application for moderator. I have been an avid reader of LI for quite some time now. Having contributed to various discussions on LI, and witnessing what type of comments are generally not allowed, I am in a position to the moderate effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, being a GenZ, I have some know-how of websites, which can come handy to improve LI in toto.
Long time. Happy to see you back. What exactly do you do these days? Went back to Magic Circle or still in the publishing business?
I remember having a conversation with you in 2014. Really sad to see LI going down.
Don't be sad, nothing lasts forever but glad LI was there and useful and impactful in its previous avatar, while it was, and hope the current avatar is also and will continue to be helpful and fun for people.
Neither magic circle, nor publishing business: have gone to do something completely unrelated for a while :)
We have upgraded all your accounts to moderator status, which means that you will now have considerable power and responsibility in the LI microcosm. We have posted some more details in the following thread, which should only be accessible to moderators): https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/277177-welcome-new-mods-lets-talk-moderation-and-community
Good luck and god speed, please let us know how it goes 🧿
But perhaps a manual filter that only shows you 'sticky' or 'featured' threads might be something useful?
