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?
If you are first years, I can understand the excitement, even for 2nd years. But for third year and beyond, please get therapy, I'm not even mocking you, this isn't healthy. I think one post each highlighting achievements (TCs, UPSC, judiciary and so on) is enough, and is interesting for us to also read. Beyond that I just get concerned.
Why does it happen overwhelmingly so for T1 kids? I would've assumed T3 kids would be chill, T2 would be insecure and T1s to be the quiet achievers.
Within a very few years (1-3) of working; you won't care where someone graduated from, and the only thing you will care for is: whether the person you are working with is a good lawyer and a decent human being. If you can achieve both, then you are golden.
A great law school is one:
Where research is a way of life - faculty research is published and celebrated every day, students researching and publishing, the law school ecosystem is regular and relentless in knowledge creation.
Where conferences, seminars, workshops, talks organised every day not once in a month.
Where scholars, practitioners and jurists involved on regular basis throughout the year inspiring young minds and not a SC judge invited in a convocation.
Harvard Law School or NUS Singapore are classic examples how world-class law schools should be.
GNLU and NUJS need to work harder. Posts on LI won't help.
You think NLS organises talks and seminars every day? Lol, where did you get that idea?
HLS and NUS are great examples, but neither NLS nor JGLS nor any other Indian law school comes anywhere even close to them, so it seems that all of the Indian law schools need to work harder.
As for student achievements, if supposedly great faculty cannot produce students who do better in all or most walks of life, then what good are such faculty? NLS or Jindal students are not ahead in any metric, which is why all these claims of them having superior faculty are hollow.
