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?
I can name the NLU and the ragger (a POS whose dad is a judge) but I guess LI will not allow the identity to be revealed.
Moderator, how you allowed this to slip through your processes is anybody's guess. Nevertheless, you should be doing something about it now. At the very least, marking trollish. Why hasn't this already been done?
Don't expect to have many friends if you are at an American law school and say you support Trump. Or if you can only talk about cricket, hang around only with other Indians and can't speak anything but broken English. But if you have social skills and good English and know how to fit in, (think posh South Delhi or South Bombay kid), then there is no racial hierarchy at all. Most people at a US/UK law school of all places would die of embarrassment if anyone thought they were racist. You just need to know how to fit in socially and culturally but that has nothing to do with the colour of your skin.
To answer the OP - some student clubs/fraternities and places like that will have rituals similar to ragging. But in the general student body as a whole - no. You don't really have it in Western countries.
