To emphasise more on this, try to look at it logically maybe? (My experience as a current Yale LLM - NALSAR B.A. LLB)

B.A. LLB is the equivalence degree to a JD in the United States. LLM is usually just an additional option if you want to qualify the bar exams there. The US cohort including the Indian Americans don’t take LLM seriously at all, plus the prestige factor lies with the JD making the LLM students less shiny. Plus, you have to understand that Harvard students are known to be arrogantly snobbish when it comes to their law programme. My friend from Virginia who is pursuing his JD at NYU stated that HLS even crushed Yale law grads time to time. So it’s not uncommon for them to look down upon a law school which isn’t well known in the whole of Asia. Let’s be honest, even your Indian peers (especially your batchmates) salivate to even get their journals in the Harvard student law review where even the JD students are given first preference. Also, it’s incredibly harder to get into the Harvard JD programme when you compare it to their LLM programme. LSAT US (not india) is not a joke. Either you need to have a certain 175ish grade / life altering extra curricular or legacy admission (but that too if your dad or uncle is a governor). For LLM there is no exam and let’s be honest even if by any great misfortune the HLS students come across something like CLAT- they will start laughing at us despite the unpredictability the exam holds every year. NLUs are not even as prestigious as IITs (which are quite well known to Harvard and MIT grads, even Yale too), so it’s difficult if you expect Harvard to take note of us. Plus, the inferiority of top Indian law schools are exposed vividly when we ourselves including the NLS cohort refer certain institutions as ‘Harvard of the East’ / ‘Yale of the East’. We already admit that their institution is already bigger, just hang out with your cohort and mingle with those JD folks who are actually nice, not everyone can be bad.

It's truth, this comment is. I once made a similar comment attempting to impose a reality check surrounding the Oxford BCL, and these good-for-nothing moral police who are guardians of this platform marked that as trollish as well. As another comment on this thread has said, OP should just put their head down, actually put in some work in life and stop bitching about people. You guys treat your own LLM students like this, just deal with it. Also, I have lived in multiple western countries, and can tell you that your typical person there has a lot more work in life than to be snobbish and high-nosed. Does that mean there are no snobbish and high-nosed people in western countries? Obviously not! But the way OP is talking about this stuff gives a very incomplete picture. And frankly, if this is the way you write and you are really from NLS (and not just a random troll who actually hasn't gone to either NLS or HLS), then, with regards to the HLS JD cohort's snobbishness, I'd tell them, 'bring it on, these ***'s deserve it'. Why? Because all you, OP who started this thread, have is privilege, (a lot of) daddy's money, no sense of where having a smart mouth is appropriate and where it isn't, an unbelievably inflated ego (much like the people you criticize) and a gigantic victimhood mentality. DW OP, when you find your footing, you'll fit right into the ranks of the western hard left.

PS: To the guy who made the (not) trollish comment to which I have replied, continue speaking the truth, you will be rewarded some day for your efforts.

Excellent sarcasm. An Indian guy right here at Harvard told me of this website a while back when I was a 2L. He described it as a place which was really good to vent and rant on random stuff about, and where you could find high class shitpost content, if you were looking for that sort of thing (and he was right!).

To answer the question, I didn't know about this place called N.L.S. until now, and I'm quite intreagued to learn about it. But seriously, you guys sure as hell gotta develop a thicker skin, if you're from there. Hell, we used to kid even LLM's who'd been to law school at Oxford for Christ's sake, so how do you think we'd treat folks from a place most of us hadn't heard of in a country half of us couldn't find on a map?

Guys, you carry on like this and the attitude of even folks like me who'd kid LLM's just to troll, rather than to put 'em down, will be like that of that there guy the limeys call Sherlock Holmes. The old Brit once said something pretty smart, apparently: 'Now that I know it, I'll do my best to forget it'. That'll be about how folks at Harvard would start thinking about N.L.S.
