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.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Doing well but I need to know what is to be done in the next 2.5 years in order to secure a good placement offer from a good chamber. The problem I'm facing is that my NLU is a fairly new university and we don't really have any alumni choosing the road not taken (CBSE reference).
I don't want to indulge myself with law firms in general because I'd rather prefer peanuts over compromising my growth as an advocate. (I thank god and my parents for making me able to take this option)
I know it's unrealistic for me to wish to earn a living despite being a first-gen advocate and opting for litigation but there must be some place in Delhi giving fair remuneration.
So far I'm targeting AOR offices (given I liked their work culture) and/or senior advocate chambers where they have their in-house AORs. I want to become an AOR and set up my own chamber 10 years down the line.
O wise people of LI, enlighten me with your wisdom as you've done for the past few years.
We don't talk about litigation enough
Also, most good Chambers that everyone targets will not take you on as a fresher. Work with AoR of your liking (preferably on some good panel so has volume of work) for a first couple of years and then move to a Senior.
