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?
1. The older generation of LI readers (Gen Y) had a dominant percentage of people who were upper-middle class, forward castes, from elite law schools, right-wing and pro free-market reforms.
2 The present generation of LI readers (Gen Z) has a dominant percentage of people who are lower-middle class (many first or second-generation learners), backward castes, from non-elite law schools, left-wing and socialist.
3. The change in demographics is because:
- law entrance coaching centres have spread across India, plus one can take online classes
- initiatives like Shamnad Basheer’s IDIA have spread legal education among previously excluded sections
- reservation quotas have increased across law schools, plus socialist philosophy is the dominant strain of ideological thought among Gen Z
- the elites now head abroad, or to Jindal, for their LLB. Previously, Indians headed abroad mostly for LLMs. Now the numbers for LLBs are huge.
It's a fact of life that you become more conservative with age.
