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.

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. Singapore: NUS and SMU
2. Hong Kong: HKU, City University and Chinese University
3. Japan: Tokyo, Kyoto, Waseda, Osaka, Nagoya etc
4. China: Peking, Tsinghua, Renmin, CUPL, Fudan etc.
5. South Korea: Seoul National University, Yonsei University, etc.
6. Taiwan: Taiwan National University
These universities are all in rich first world countries. Even China should be considered a rich first world country. Thus, these universities should certainly be ahead when it comes to physical infrastructure and funding. In terms of recruitment, all these countries are advanced economies, so there are probably enough good jobs for all graduates. Lots of international law firms too.
So the only areas where NLSIU can probably outdo them is student quality and faculty quality. Objectively, one area where NLSIU should be ahead is the study of human rights law and critical sociological approaches to law: Law and Poverty, Law and Caste, Gender and Law etc. I'm not sure if China, Singapore, Japan etc focus much in these areas.
