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.

There are a few communities that are different. Bengal has given six Nobel Laureates to India (more than all the other states combined), but the traders do not care. Winning a Nobel is an intellectual pursuit, and Nobel laureates are not rich. With a trading mindset, one would rather be rich, than aspire to win a Nobel. You see how this works.
No one is looking down on the couple of llm students at top institutions that actually want to learn and do a good job and work hard. People mostly admire them. We're looking down on freeriders. Dont be such a victim.
People generalise. People stereotype. It’s an evolutionary mechanism to do so. And pointing out that a greater proportion of llm students than llb students seem to be non serious to me is not generalising and saying they all are. It’s explaining why a prevailing opinion exists- which is what the post asks. Why ask if you don’t want to be told ?
I'm happy being a fixer...
No LLM - experience over everything else for litigation, Judiciary, law firms, inhouse & CSE.
Simple as that. Rest are just BS-ing !
In a country like us where 90% law colleges simply give degrees and no legal education, a good LLM adds value to graduates of these colleges.
