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?
Most cases, it's best to just let it go, as frustrating as that is. If it's in good humor, try to play along. If you feel there is malice, just be quiet but look visibly uncomfortable. If someone is very mean to you, try expressing it calmly and politely, emphasizing that you are just a student and want to learn. And of course, avoid that person in the future if possible.
If you are a girl and a male senior is doing this to you, please, please express this with one other trusted person in the room - "XYZ made me uncomfortable, please don't do this again."
Keep doing your best. Don't get affected by these things. Talk to your friends and family, you will be okay. I wish you all the best.
