TBH it was getting out of hand. I saw a few such reels and got bombarded with hundreds later. Something similar perhaps happened to one BCI uncle and he decided to out a stop to it.
Also conveys a misleading impression that law firm/chamber life is very relaxed. Only true for nepo babies.

This reminds me of a joke that John Oliver made about former governor of South Dakota Kristi Noem (DHS secretary formally in the second Trump admin). For Kristi Noem, ensuring that college sports women teams were only played in by biological as opposed to trans women was a huge thing. She even had an add about it. Oliver's joke was, I think, that if somebody from the future who did not know about anything of the past came back with a time-travelling machine and saw Noem's add, they would think that all the problems of the world had been fixed.
Same way, some lawyer who has perhaps been working outside the country for many years and hasn't kept in touch with the Indian scene will think it's seventh heaven! If the "BCI uncle" has time to go after social media posts, then surely India is now a heaven on earth for lawyers? I just don't envy that hypothetical character when he experiences the hard and disconcerting bump of reality - that these guys are wasting time on stupid stuff as usual.
Sure. Go after confidentiality being broken. But isn't it better to go after the senior lawyers? After all, they are supposed to be the ones responsible for giving the students/interns work? If they are prat enough to recruit someone who engages in childish behaviour, I would have thought it is those advocates in chambers or law firm partners whose heads need to be put on the chopping block?
Also, some of the girls were simp-worthy. Being NLU grads, they are brainy too!
