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?
This shows even law firms prefer business schools (national institutions), in this case IIMA, over state universities (NLUs) to focus on legal leadership initiatives. Think of it - even the so-called Tier 1 NLUs are not considered good enough for this innovative development.
Now with this Collab, CAM has direct access to these counsels.
There are enough and more posts on this platform on how law graduates from NLUs should not be going to business schools for further studies, with reasons ranging from naive to atrocious.
The trigger for this has come from a law firm, and when it mattered, they went to a business school. NLUs are not on their radar when push comes to shove on leadership. NLUs may want to reflect on this, instead of being in denial and pretending to treat this as business as usual.
So you agree that there is not a single NLU that can align with and help law firms to be run as businesses.

You see, whichever way you spin this, it is a huge setback for all NLUs. This is time for a reality check instead of deflecting this. The downside of being a state university is getting starker by the day.
Fundamentally, any master's course/certification/diploma at that stage of your career is not meant to demonstrate legal competence - that is assumed at that stage (and even if it isn't, noone expects any law school to actually impart the practical legal skills needed to be a GC).
So obviously, a place that has better creds for an MBA was chosen. It would've been absurd for CAM to invest into DOMS, Nalsar without there being a steady track record of successful alumni or interest.
Difference:
- National institutions
- Strong faculty
- Top business people in the country on governing bodies, especially IIMA
- Alumni actively involved and have a seat in the governing body
- No disruptive students and profs fighting woke culture wars
Compare with NLUs: absolute clown show, barring NLSIU to an extent under Sudhir.
