Depends on what part of Navi Mumbai. Ulwe makes a lot more sense than Panvel or Vashi but the latter two are more developed and still resemble the social life of Mumbai. If Ulwe does well, then I see no reason to not
The foreign law firms will charge even more and will eventually lead to the Indian firms upping their hourly rates aswell. You’re delusional if you think more competition will bring prices down
The likes of GLC & other MU colleges will always have an upper hand because of location. Versova to BHC is 1.5 hours during peak hours, if not more, even by train. No practising lawyer would want to travel that much and no student can realistically intern with college
1. Try to get used to reading long and confusing judgments

2. SCC/Manupatra have case notes that summarise the main bits of the judgment at the top
70 hours is fine as long as they pay for 70 hours and there’s minimal travelling. Travelling to Bombay High Court from the suburbs takes 2.5-3 hours a day, which makes 70hr/week more like 100hr/week and that’s the problem.
There’s caveats to it. It only pays 16k to interns who are admitted on merit/are on callback; which makes up only a very low % of the total interns. The interns who get through contacts don’t end up getting anything in their first stint, only on callbacks.
No to what? Look outside your bubble and you’ll realise 12L/year is more than what most people will earn in their lives.
If you’re earning more than a 12L/year, you’re rich. When the amount of money you’re earning stops mattering, you’re wealthy.
I’m a 4th year student, heading into two T1 internships in the next 6 months (both corporate). However, I’ve not been able to figure out what I really want to do after graduation. My internship experience has majorly been in the corporate litigation sphere (SEBI, NCLT, Arbitration matters, etc). I’ve done one general corporate internship (PE) but it wasn’t as interesting/dynamic as the Corp litigation ones.

I want to try out IPR/Media laws but haven’t been able to secure any internships in that field. The idea of a counsel practise also interests me, but I don’t have any personal contacts and the counsels I’ve applied to at BHC have been reluctant to take me on as an intern.

How do I decide if a particular area is right for me? What do I do if I get an offer from these two firms I’m interning at in the future? What if I get stuck in general corporate but get bored as I did in the previous internship? Will the money they offer be a good enough reason to keep me going? There’s so much uncertainty and anxiety around this, any help would be appreciated!
