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?
Some counter-points would be:
1. Are you sure about the critical thinking bit? Have you ever attended a classroom lecture by the likes of BS Chimni, Amita Dhanda, or the various younger NLU alumni profs teaching in various places? Have you ever read the journals published by NLSIU, or the NUJS Law Review?
2. Isn't nepotism deterring NLU grads from joining the bar and bench? At least two NLSIU alumni withdrew their judicial nominations after their apppointments were being stalled, whereas all the children of judges have become judges.
3. Corporate professionals dominate the 1% of Indians who pay income tax and subsidise the 99% of poor Indians (plus freeloaders like politicians). For the first time in history, individual IT collections outnumber corporate tax collections. By giving 30% of their income to the government, and receiving nil subsidies, corporate professionals effectively work 4 months in a year free for the government. Is that not public service?
