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?
What can be done to curb this? Should there be greater oversight by faculty and a complaints system? Should the whole process be outsourced to a third-party agency?

You could (depending on pay, fringe benefits etc.) recruit to the position of a law school career advisor somebody like this (am sure some law firm HR people in India would like a change of environment):

In Britain at least (or at some law schools there), they do manage to recruit faculty with tenior to look into graduate outcomes. I know that one of those places (can't remember whether it's King's or QMUL) has this sort of department within their law school called the 'Hub For Professional Practice' or something. Apparently, in their LLB system, some selected students have an option to do a four year, instead of a three year, LLB, with the third year spent interning at a firm with which the uni has a tie-up (a sort of institutionalised, one-year-long version for some people of what everyone does at GLC without any college support); such things wouldn't happen without significant faculty interest.
