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?
Do HR managers at CAM, SAM, AZB etc go through social media handles of students, or Google for the names of students, to see if they expressed left-wing or controversial political views? Do they then filter these names out? As law firms advancing capitalism and privatisation, and pushing for intellectual property rights of American companies, they would presumably consider left-wing views to be incompatible with the values of the firm? Particularly far-left and Marxist views? As also views supporting religious extremism? Do they also ask such subtle questions at interviews?
Incidentally, my friend sent me this funny clip from an old Satyajit Ray movie, which encapsulates the issue well! We have exactly these types of rebel students in my NLU and I guess all NLUs....LMAO!!
