1. Vipul Kundalia, NLSIU 1994 --- First-gen lawyer. Unusually for an NLISU grad, started at the trial courts and built up a practice there first. Interview of him here (in Bengali):

2. Phiroze Edulji, NLSIU 1997 -- First generation Parsi lawyer specialising in criminal law. A rare right-wing NLSIU grad (officer-bearer of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad). In the news for some explosive arguments in the RG Kar case, where he brought loopholes missed by top lawyers and stunned the court.

3. Deep Kabir, NUJS 2007 -- son of former CJI Altmas Kabir. Evidently among the youngest-ever lawyers to be elevated by the Calcutta High Court, which is very conservative. Had been the subject of some controversy many years ago, when his father was CJI.
