Most NLUs are younger than DU by decades. For insurance, the first batch of NLU J was 2006. So obviously, the coming of age would take time.
Plus, NLU kids have historically been more inclined towards corporate law. Hopefully in the future we will see better numbers.
That said, if DU folks feel better with counting their numbers. We are all for hedonism.
DU v. NLS
GLC and LawFac will have their advantage for next 10 years also because as rightly said by someone above that first batch of NLUJ passed out in 2006, who today have only 15 years of practice. In next 5-6 years, we will see many from NALSAR, Jodhpur and Bhopal being on verge of designation. Haven't found many from NUJS in Delhi (could be lack of information). As NLUs and other premier 5y law schools have advanced in law firm Partner numbers, they will give tough competition to DU/GLC also. Bet some of these good counsels from DU/GLC would also choose NLS and NLUs if given an option then.
Several of our top league lawyers/ Senior Advocates have studied at unknown law colleges and practiced at smaller cities before turning towards Delhi.
So, it’s time for celebration rather than belittling law colleges/ law schools.
He will perhaps be the only senior advocate who understands the intricacies of competition law. Most others just faff or read out notes given by briefing counsel.
Also, will agree with the positive part of the comment. He is extremely down to earth.
The troll strikes back Kian!
