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?
I m in same boat but I atleast have few years to reach 35 (I am 32!)
I dont even have good educational degrees like you. I was litigating. Left it because of shallow pay by seniors.
Very sad too
No NLU = No Job.
No father = No connection
No Second Gen = No litigation
It has been a long ride with much mental stress . staring at blank questioning my existence . Thank God, I have not eliminated myself .
I have sympathy for the struggles of others, but that shouldn't ruin our portal. The legal profession is tiered (for better or for worse). If this deluge of whine, then elite lawyers will no longer hang around LI message boards. Then it's a race to the bottom.

Rant aside, I wasn't gatekeeping the profession. It's just the deterioration of LI into a tier 3 engineering college placement/alumni group that I'm disappointed by. This portal used to be a great platform to engage with like minded folx with similar problems. Now how is a Delhi/Bom/Blr corporate lawyer or someone litigating in a high profile senior counsel chamber supposed to engage with the likes of "I don't want to litigage in my mofussil hometown trial court; my senior mistreats me and doesn't even pay me 5 figures"? And don't even get me started on the no-name college kids screaming for internships who spam our inboxes. Sheesh, be classy folx. Otherwise, LI itself will become a cesspool of no-tier lawyers and their declasse problems.
I'm sorry if that seems harsh, but someone needed to say it.
