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?
Good:
1. Apartment in London or Dubai (literally every second person has this, whether declared or undeclared)
2. Two overseas holidays every year: first or business class airfare with 7-star hotel
3. Elite club memberships, hosting exclusive seven-course dinners at Taj Chambers, with monogrammed napkins, personalised menus, Cuban or at least Honduran cigars (I’m not basing this just on the infamous party that was thrown for an MP from West Bengal at Chambers by a noted senior counsel: I have been to such parties with my senior and this actually happens).
4. BMWs, Maybachs, Pateks, suits tailored from London
5. Friends in high places. If you join politics, a Rajya Sabha or at least a Vidhan Parishad seat
6. Money can buy honey 😉
Cons:
1. Health problems arising from stress and lack of exercise: obesity, hypertension, heart disease.., possibly an early grave
2. Those two overseas holidays a year are the only quality m time you spend with family: so just 15-20 days in a year. So your family may grow apart, or they will love you only for the expensive gifts you shower upon them.
3. For many people, you simply lose your conscience and morals, defending the most corrupt and honest people in the world.
