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?
There's no concept like work experience based PhD in law.
a) you are on a stable career path at a T1 and you wish to take a break but also make it to the next rung, a foreign llm would be suitable
b) you want to join academia
except for the above two the only other further narrower avenue would be to shift to another jurisdiction, which has been discussed many times in this forum (prev work ex, suitable jursidiction, prior contact with future workplace)
llm does not in any way help with law practice in India unless you have a legacy
