I suffer from CFS and won't be able to manage a regular office job like a law firm or chamber. What skills are required to be learnt to become a freelancer on say platforms like Upwork or Fiver?

And where does one learn them from? Any courses or youtubers I need to follow. Anyone who's familiar with this, provide a blue print please

Non-nlu ppl are simply lawyers who are working, whereas nlu lawyers identify themselves as "NLU lawyers" and its like a calling card for them. This 'othering' behaviour starts by the NLU students, as the very distinction is being made by them on these grounds only.. hence the terms also.

The T2 NLUs know they are nothing great, but kids from NLSIU, NALSAR, NLUJ, NUJS, their entire identity revolves around them being from such college.. move on

These companies generally don't hire freshers through campus placement or direct recruitment. There are some companies that fall in similar categories like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. (Lionsgate Play, OML, etc.) that take interns (usually long-term) and may lead to a permanent position (have seen this happen).

But generally, they hire only experienced lawyers in the mid-senior levels. There are times you may come across vacancies for lawyers with 1-3 PQE and all, but it usually ends up being filled by someone with PQE at the higher end of the range provided.

The best bet would be to work in firms or partners that specialize in media & entertainment or TMT in general, build up your PQE and apply to these companies when the chance arrives. You will have skills in the specialized industry domain of media & entertainment, but I also recommend seeking out opportunities to gain experience in general corporate compliance work as well, sprinkled with a few employment contracts, and disputes (notices, replies, etc.) either by the work you get or through your research. The nature of work that makes up the bulk of your in-house work would be mildly routine. Figure out that routine and make sure your basics are strong, and then all your niche knowledge would be a bonus when applying for in-house roles.

Atleast, that's my plan. :) See you there!

Why do we keep getting the same threads again and again. Don't y'all have nothing else to talk about? No point of such dick measuring contests when you're already in a college or passed out. Pre clat kids, pls refer to old threads, do some basic research. C'mon that's the least you can do. If you still have specific doubts then shoot.

There are so many stupids everywhere. That's independent of which law school you come from. I agree that it's not fair to compare law schools. However young people need guidance. I think the tier wise ranking I have done will be useful for young people.

Note: Those who can't afford Jindal or Symbiosis fee may avoid it for a low cost law school be it NLU or GLC/ DU.

Regarding MNLU Nagpur and NUSRL Ranchi, I don't think they should be put in Tier 3 looking at huge mismanagement, financial crisis, faculty quality and placements.

No worries, it's just like any other internship. Your contact details will be given to the team, and they will assign you tasks via email or phone call. Make sure you are reachable when they contact you. You will also have an internship email ID with the Trilegal domain, and IT will set it up for you remotely through AnyDesk.

Each morning, check in with the team by sending an attendance email and asking for work. Additionally, you can review archived emails to see who used your email ID before you and learn about ongoing deals or matters. This will help you understand the previous intern's working style, which you can follow or improve upon as needed.

Good luck!

I've wondered about this so many times. They're also just so incompetent in terms of replying to emails or even follow-ups (yes, if you shortlist or interview someone, basic decency dictates you reply to them whether it's positive or not), completing the required formalities, and even joining Zoom calls on time. Why are they that bad? Why don't law firms just hire law graduates instead for these positions (they also have an understanding of how law school works and about different law firms etc)?

It's actually in the middle of nowhere, especially for a Law School. Further it is shifting to Goregaon, which is just too far away to have the Mumbai advantage. Especially when compared to the only other decent college in Mumbai i.e. GLC which literally sits on marine drive, is a five minute walk from High Court/Sessions Court/Nariman Point. It is a jump away from Churchgate station. So yes Powai is middle of no where, you have to beg rickshaw wallas to take you to Vikhroli which takes 15 minutes. Only thing it is near to is the clubs and powai lake.

At the end of the day, the guy is a uni admin, and he needs his uni's ranking to be at the top. If that involves jumping on bandwagons, he'll jump on bandwagons, unfortunately. Even more unfortunately, however, his own words indicate that he hasn't jumped on the right one here. 'The world's best universities', he says, correctly as it happens, 'don't teach their students a shallow version of craft. They teach fundamental first principles'.

I think what he forgot is that they (usually (see King's College London's professional gutting of many of its non-commercial law module offerings and the exit of many of its law school-based criminology researchers, 2013 - 2014, as an example of an exception that proves the rule)) maintain a balance between jumping on a bandwagon and playing to their traditional strengths (teaching fundamental first principles), and, when jumping on bandwagons, they usually identify the right ones to jump on. Sudhir has done neither here. Sadly, I have now come around to the view that (what I like to call) 'the side of his brain that makes NLAT-type decisions' has become more prominent, and we are going to see the consequences of that in the next few years (if I'm not wrong, 2024 - 29).

"RGSOIPL offers better opportunities compared to Lower NLU because the Centre for Development Cell (CDC), which is the Placement Cell of IIT Kharagpur, assists students in securing internships and placements in leading MNCs, IP firms, and law firms. Companies such as Samsung, Bosch, TVS Motors, and Bajaj recruit for placements in the patent domain. Additionally, law firms like Khaitan and Khaitan, CAM, and Sam actively recruit students from the institute.

IIT kgp campus is oldest , largest and has culture over more than 60 years . Interaction and activities within campus play huge role .

For Judiciary: Not good, because of location. Less Judiciary aspirants are there.

In IPR domain, alumnies of RGSOIPL are in good positions that helps in getting connection in IP domain.

Companies: Samsung, Bosch, TVS, Bajaj, Benz Mercedes,CAM SAM , K&K, Ericsson.

Hello,

I have just finished my 3rd Year and am not from an NLU. Will be starting my first Tier-1 internship at KCo Mumbai soon. Hoping to get a PPO. Any tips on how to make an impression or generally handle my workload well? Also, any tips for the presentation at the end?

Please tell me that whoever wrote this is either (1) trolling; or (2) so drunk, they can't be held responsible. SAM? Seriously? Lala law firm whose top guy is one of those who fought hardest for foreign competition to be kept away, so he and his ilk could continue with their nepotism and nepotistic practices, knowing that they'd be less than the dust beneath an average foreign law firm's chariot wheels?

If (1) you're trolling, please naf off (as they say in Britain); or (2) if you're drunk, please go to rehab immediately.
