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?
Seems like the Hatim Hussain effect is back. Kudos!
What about the other four scholars? Are they from any tier-1 NLU?
1. Will candidates with woke human rights CVs dominate yet again, or will the committee be open to a candidate unabashedly interested in commercial law?
2. Will NLSIU make a comeback and will its powerful connections/networks bear fruit?
I must say
Also- nah, we dont need to be giving scholarships to folks who will do corp laws and go and work at white and case anyway. Those guys can make their money back. we need to give scholarship to support new original important research in underfunded areas of the law that helps underserved communities.
- Don't dress too posh: don't wear blingy silk ties and expensive shirts. Remember, the message you want to give is that you need financial assistance. A simple white shirt is fine.
- Instead of just saying "I am interested in the field of human rights", be specific. Choose niche areas if possible, e.g. refugee rights, tribal land rights etc .
- If you're asked "Why did you choose to study law", don't say stuff like I argue well, my teacher suggested it etc. Instead, think of (or make up) some injustice that you saw as a child, e.g. the police beating up a homeless man.
- Introduce yourselves with this line: "My name is _____ and my pronouns are ___ and ___ ".
- If you're asked about Israel and Palestine, give an answer along these lines "All violence in condemnable"; "Hamas was wrong to kill innocent people and take hostages, but Palestinians also have a right to a Palestinian state".
Good luck. ❤️
Wishing all the best
