Has been discussed on multiple occasions on LI, and UGC guidelines & official emails from Jindal have been posted. The gist of it is: Jindal being an IoE is not bound by UGC restrictions on online courses; being a university, it is competent to issue degrees/start courses, no explicit approval from UGC is required for any university for a new degree; the question of other universities not recognising it does not arise because (i) the degree is valid (Jindal being statutorily empowered to issue it); (ii) there is no violation of any UGC guidelines.
I'd be happy to remove the contested tag if there is you have access to any other material that shows the contrary. (any such material would be welcome, in fact, given that every Jindal LLM thread circles back to this every time)
But some clerks really make that much. Clerks of some senior advocates drive cars that starting lawyers can't. In 2015, the main clerk of a senior had purchased a Brezza. Clerks of some super-seniors do even better.
They revamped it about a year ago (or less?) and it's considerably worse now. For e.g., now you can't open two orders at once: say, if you click on the link for order for 05.01.2023, it will open in a new tab. Then if you click for the order for 10.02.2023, it will open that order in the same tab as the previous one. So you can't just click on all the orders of a case so that they open in separate tabs and you can see/print them easily. You have to click on a link, see the order, come back, click on the next link, see the order...
Also, interestingly, under the "orders" tab if you search "case wise", there's no option for 2024 yet. The latest year is 2023. Such niggles didn't exist in the previous version of the website. Don't know why they revamped something that wasn't broken.
Outstation from where, by the way? I guess she's otherwise a Delhi-based practitioner.
In any case, 75-100k per hearing is not too much. There are people who graduated around the same time as her who charge this much for appearances in Delhi. Yours is an outstation matter.
I went independent a few years ago, but I continue to use my former senior's subscriptions. See if you can have such an arrangement. Otherwise, e-libraries in the courts are very helpful.
In my opinion, sticking ONLY to theoretical learning is as bad as sticking only to the practical aspects. You should balance both out.
Prepare for judiciary, but do intern alongside. While your theoretical knowledge would be useful when/if you enter litigation later, as a fresh associate, you would be expected to make yourself useful by a lot of tasks that you just won't grasp through books. Go intern, pay attention to court procedure, learn how filing and drafting works. If you intern for long, pay attention to strategising aspects of a case - this would also aid your knowledge for DJS.
It's a tough field. But consistent efforts, even if small, pay off. A lot of people say the key to litigation is hardwork. That's true for every field. What's possibly unique to litigation is the pressing need to network. You need to network HARD.
Would be happy to answer any specific questions that you may have.
The post is about DHJS. That's the Higher Judicial Service, i.e. inducting at the rank of ASJ/ADJ. Most states require 7 years' experience at the Bar + 35 years age. Particularly, Delhi has this requirement in the Delhi Higher Judicial Service Rules.
Not only did no one say this is for SC, it would not be sufficient for SC by a long margin: the constitution requires 10 years practice and the settled practice is not to elevate anyone before 45, unless it's a special case (HMJ Arun Misra's brother, for instance).
I'd like to volunteer for being a mod. I've been an active since 2013. I visit LI about VERY frequently (I'm off all other social media), so quick moderation is guaranteed. I also pinky promise to be fair and unbiased.

I have been swamped with extra work for the last few days and couldn't moderate at the usual pace. I suppose it's the same for other moderators too.
As regards any fixed time of the day when I moderate - I just do it whenever I find free time. It may be different for other mods.
You may seek leave to withdraw the vakalatnama, that's alright. But withdrawing the petition when the client hasn't told you to? Unbecoming conduct.

That aside, SCC is far superior to Manupatra.

Have been visiting this site for about 10 years.
I don't think there are many independent practitioners on this website.
The age requirement was removed once (in 2021 I believe). Four people had cleared it then, amongst them an NLU grad (NALSAR, if my memory is right).
