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.

How do lawyers save tax?
What skills do lawyers have?
Mediocre faculty who are only interested in their salary and leave. Very few people who take interest in students and who can really inspire.
Only relief is situated in Delhi so you can intern and find work. Same as Vips college. Stay away. Go to NLU or a good private law college.
- You assume that rankings of 15 years ago are still valid today, when in fact rankings keep changing
- You only look at placements. You don't appreciate the value of good faculty, admin, infra and opportunities like good guest lectures, conferences with practitioners, student exchanges abroad etc. Placements should get max 60 to 70% of weightage, not more than that.
The ranking below should be the best ranking as of 2024, if you look at things holistically. I am using the Moody's rating system of Aaa (A++) to C.
1 (Tier A++). NLSIU
2-3 (Tier A+): NALSAR/NLUD
4-5 (Tier A): JGLS/NUJS
6-7 (Tier B++): GNLU/NLUJ
8-11: (Tier B+): NLIU/MNLU-M/RMLNLU/RGNUL
12-16 (Tier B): New DU course/HNLU/NUALS/BITS Law School/Symbiosis Pune
17-21 (Tier C++): GLC/DSNLU/NLUO/MNLU-N/MNLU-A
22-30 (Tier C+ to Tier C): IIM Rohtak, KIIT, HPNLU, DNLU, NLU Patna, NLU Ranchi, Bennet, Nirma, TNNLU
For those who don't know, GG ran NDA for 20 years.
Wish her best of luck in whatever is next. Is she also joining a T1 firm?
Don't write any hancy fancy stuff in those notes. Be very professional and straightforward. Write why you are asking to connect. Write that you want to learn from them and possibly get hands on some opportunities. Be clear with your purpose. People who work don't have time to f**k around. Respect their time.
Keep doing it. Out of 20-30 people you request, chances are at least 2-5 people will reply back. The more you do this, the higher your chances of landing on an opportunity.
I got my break through this method. FYI, story as same as yours.
Adios!
Now, I hope it is clear why it is considered that GC/M&A/PE is one of the highest paying domain, if not the highest. You need to pay a generous amount of money to retain people who can bring such kinda money into the firm.
Coming to A0s. Come on man! A0s dont have as such contributions in deals and transactions. They are still at learning stages only. Once they reach A3 or SA level, you'll see their bonuses increasing exponentially as compared to other teams of the very same firms.
Kochar, J sagar, Fox mandal and etc.
Before accusing anyone, be sure to have the receipts - someone your predecessors failed to do before being outwitted and tossed out for good.
