As law students, learn at least who to pick on. Everyone is not your hapless profs.
As the seat intake expands more than the market, law firms would try to minimize their hiring costs by relying solely on a few top institutions instead of going to multiple Universities.
His arguments are impeccable
Market is growing but campus recruitment not growing - how do you explain that?
Shooting the messenger does not help
There was a shift a year or two into the pandemic because NLUs couldn’t guarantee that it’s graduates could pass tough examinations and there was no mandatory attendance in most nlus.
It is undeniable that every batch that was in law school during the pandemic - except maybe the batch that graduated in 2020- had severe learning losses. And these should have been made up but administration and lazy faculty don’t really want to admit there was a problem.
What Ramanauj gets wrong is that this is going to stay this way. It might not. Some law schools are turning the tide - like nls. Other law schools are slower to move but the students will soon realise that they have to go back to hard work and resourcefulness. Many young people in these universities are desperate to learn and they do the work of reaching out to people for electives and guest lectures and they do the work of research and writing and doing and winning competitions and seeking and actually working hard at internships. Those kids will be fine. The ones who want to coast on the brand name won’t be.
It’s not actually cheaper for a firm to test and hire two hundred junior associate from a tier 2/ tier 3 firm. It’s actually easier to go to three law schools over 9 days and do interviews. They’ll go back to that if they can be sure they’ll get a reasonably well trained cohort.
It is cheaper to hire trained talent laterally from small firms rather than trying to train law school grads with no knowledge but a chip on their shoulder
