Thanks for sharing and your feedback. We actually had to archive the old LI 'site' and its articles and posts for maintenance, security and performance reasons, and for removing some old links and content from the homepage which wasn't really relevant anymore (hopefully nothing has been lost - the random historical articles are a (perhaps bad :) human idea, meant to give access to some of the historical archives, some of which may be interesting).

Apologies for any inconvenience in any case, and we have added a 'start new conversation' button for you now - that was a good point, we had missed this.

The homepage at https //www.legallyindia.com/ should not be fundamentally different to what it was before, and is now mirroring what appears on the actual conversations homepage at https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/home (without the menus and filtering buttons and the like).

This 'convos' area of the site, has not changed though and is expected to be the main way of interacting with these forums. Ultimately, we are considering making the actual convos homepage ( https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/home ) the actual home page at https://www.legallyindia.com/ .

However, we are not yet 100% sure whether there is functionality or the layout in the old home-homepage that people would miss, so we are taking it step by step, so more feedback would always be welcome.

Would you and others be ok if convos/ became the home-homepage?

Hi, thank you for your kind wishes and feedback.

Contested generally is applied in response to reasonable reports contesting the facts of a post. In other words, even more so than normal anonymous posts on LI (which are also not fact checked), readers should beware that some or all of the facts asserted in the comment are probably incorrect, or impossible to verify in general or at the moment.

Featured posts are posts that are particularly nice, well-written or helpful, in the spirit of the LI community (like yours, which is a great question: we probably need to do more on explaining how the site works for newcomers, who haven't been reading or posting LI comments since the early days).

The 'trollish' tag can be similar to contested, but more than that, based on community reports (and yes, also on subjective moderator gut feeling), that the post does not add anything valuable to the discussion, does not reflect the LI community principles or is solely or mostly written to try and provoke or make someone angry (i.e., a classic internet troll).

More details on our community guidlines are in the 'terms' or 'help' link below, or via: https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/home#terms

Would tend to agree, to some extent. They clearly have a big budget for PR and astro-turfing on a variety of forums. Though it seems they mostly exist to fill a niche of the ecosystem, which the government is happy to invest money in.

But maybe that is not really the target audience of LI, as forensics isn't really in the 'traditional' field of legal practitioners, so it's a bit off topic. However, there is a lot of off topic being posted, so it is also easy to ignore posts about NSFU.

We'll try to keep an eye on it and if threads on NSFU are very repetitive or don't share anything new, will try to moderate (though if there's some genuine news involved, maybe posting it makes sense)

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. It sounds like you have a proper depression coupled with a very rough jobs situation. Whatever you do, please don't do anything you can't undo.

But, you should know that jobs and careers first of all, should not and do not define you. You are more than just a job or exam you get at the end of your studies. And the legal jobs market is tough for a lot of people right now, so I'm sure you are not alone. Also, no one is a failure for not getting a legal or any job right now; often it is circumstances beyond our control.

And one day it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise that you didn't get the jobs you are focusing on right now, and you will discover something or someone or somewhere that will make you happy one day (even if you don't have the perspective to see that right now or the ability to look into the future, obviously).

Take it one day at a time, be kind to yourself, eat well and sleep well as much as you can, maybe go for walks or exercise to clear your head, or meditation or drawing or writing or reading fiction or comics or something else you enjoy, and think of some different options or other jobs: are you interested in the law, for instance, or do you have other careers that might also interest you?

Take some time out from the law job rat race for a week or two and find some perspective.

And perhaps consider opening up to someone in your family or some other acquaintance from home, who might understand the situation you are in and give you some support, even if you currently think they might not? Or some advisers in college, etc, perhaps? Or have you considered another therapist or a doctor who can prescribe you anti-depressants might help? It could just be the chemicals in your brain right now that are giving you an especially hard time with the stress you are under, and that does suck.

Wishing you all the very best, you are much less alone than you think you are!

You're absolutely spot on on most of these points and have clearly done your homework. Nevertheless, your skillset and experience will certainly be in huge demand and many organisations and industries would be lucky to have you, or you will probably identify an interesting niche to do something interesting in. All the best, you'll clearly be just fine (even if AI will end up making us all irrelevant one day, but probably a little while after it bursts like a wet bubble :)

This post has been heavily moderated because it appears one person is repeatedly leaving the same comment. It is possible they may authentically not have a high opinion of the firm and had a bad experience, alas the allegation they make is not possible to verify.

This is not unusual but is the moderation policies on similar unverifiable allegations that are made about other firms too.

Dear Readers - FYI, this appears to be AI generated and could be marketing. We have removed the link for now, but if a useful thread develops (which is not just AI answers), and the OP has useful information, perhaps the link can be shared? Or should this entire thread be unpublished?

Thanks for clarifying, no offense was intended.

Unfortunately AI rarely just proofreads and has a tendency to embellish and bullshit and sensationalise, which makes readers attuned to it doubt the perhaps authentic experience behind the post. Most would surely be happier to see an unproofread post than the sloppy AI writing that seems to have flooded the entire internet (and we generally aim to moderate responses criticising posts' spelling or English level as trollish).
