Very honestly speaking many people have a pre-conceived notion that these NRI people are arrogant, narcissists, egoistic and judgmental. So, the others do oppose or not talk to them and will try to isolate and exclude them. This causes a reverse discrimination system where the downtrodden badmouths the elites. But there were many honest and great NRIs that people said existed in such law schools. I don't know if it's due to this stereotyping and yes keyboard warriors are everywhere now-a-days.

GNLU is far superior than NUJS in the current scenario.

NUJS is being plagued with many academical and administrative issues such as the VC PoSH with a senior professor fiasco, there are many layoffs and not much great faculty is teaching in NUJS whereas GNLU is hiring better ones if not world-class and given the support and funding GNLU is far poised to rise in the current times. Given BJP is in power for the 2024-29 term, it would ideally benefit for your study in GNLU for the simple reason backing and power. Kolkata is a mess and a degrading city with the dirty politics being played with NUJS.

For NRI-S seat opt for GNLU than NUJS, a little pinch of extra fees may hit but would be worth every penny.

Hi everyone,

I am from a decent law college in Mumbai with a handful of litigation and arbitration internships. I don't wish to pursue independent practice but love disputes in the firm. How and when should I apply to law firms ? Any firm offering upto 50k is enough for me for starters. Any leads ?

I totally agree. I have seen my fellow lawyers brag endlessly about the work they have been getting when in reality they dont do shit. They have 10% of the work they have been bragging about. I am not one to call them out because its an utter waste of time when the other person is not going to accept it. Lawyers are always pretending to know stuff they have no idea about. And they do it with such conviction. Do it in court and you are the hero- but the problem is that they adopt this trait outside courtrooms in Offices and casual conversations which is toxic af. I am a oracticing advocate - fairly new to this profession - but can say it whole heartedly that this is a nauseating profession

Cent percent true. Also in tech you have a plethora of options; and that too well paying options. Contrast that with law, everyone competes for corp law jobs because that is the most well paying option. Lit is a long term thing and is not financially viable for most people. Why should people be made to compete for breadcrumbs because even in a law firm setup you make a fraction of what your partners make. Also, let's just let go of the myth that every hardworking or a meritorious student from a top law school makes it to the top in a corp setup. That is only true for the initial appointment, post that so called social skills, aka asskissing, taking credit for others work etc. helps one propel one's career to the top.

You will be safe if you are precautious enough. Just beware of your surroundings and try not to venture out or travel alone really late after midnight. Metro is largely safe if you travel in women’s coach. Cabs are also safe. Always appear confident and maybe even try to maintain a resting bitch face. Creepy men do get intimidated if they feel that you’re not going stay silent if harassed and it also helps in avoiding any unwanted attention from men trying to be over-friendly. At the end of the day you’re a law student, you know your rights and the laws. Don’t stay silent if you feel uncomfortable in any situation, make noise, approach the nearest authority and alert the nearby public.

I am from a Tier 2 NLU and am currently interning at a Tier 1 firm in Delhi. I am doing my best and even associates and partner seems to be happy with my work.

Is there any chance for a call-back internship? Like how often do Tier 1 firms offer this?

Moreover considering I may grab a call-back, by when will they communicate the same considering my internship ends at the end of June?

The Indian cricket team will not reach last four this time. The teams that will beat them WI, AUS, ENG, NZ. The pathetic performance of the team, is duevto BCCI failure and favouratism of certain players. High time the team should be overhauled, with good players instead of fakes with high TRP.

I am a 2020 passout of a Tier 2 NLU. I started preparing after college, didn't take up any job, or join practice. I gave my soul and heart to UPSC CSE preperation, but despite of clearing prelims 2 times, I could not clear the Mains. I have already exhausted 4 attempts. Now, I can't prepare full time (my mental health is not permitting). Some times, I feel like despite of being from an NLU I am failing in this exam, that means I am dumb. Is there any one else, like me who also has failed to qualify, or am I specially unsuitable for this exam?

Only take this advice if you want your ethics compromised forever. That's not to say it's all bad! Ask the specialist/alumni for advice on gaining knowledge on the area of law, if you feel yourself to be weak at research, then once you've drafted your proposition, ask them again for advice/guidance to improve it. But never ask them to draft it.

The prospectus for 3 year llb are grim, the reason being the first batch got admitted on a random parameter and so they lack exposure and certainty of goals. 3 year llb at NLUO is presently an experiment, so please don't increase liabilities for that, further teachers hired for 3 year course are inexperienced themselves, thus lacking ability to create conducive environment

I’m in my final year at CLC and have job offers from two places: a great litigation chamber under an awesome white-collar crime lawyer through an assessment internship directly by working under the main guy, and a Tier-3 corporate firm. both with decent pay But, I failed a subject in my third semester, and there’s no supplementary exam for it. So, I have to wait until February to retake it and get my bar ID. I told both places I’d get my bar ID by September or October, and they said I could work as a trainee until then.

Now, I’m anxiously waiting for the revaluation result. If it doesn’t go my way, I’ll lose both placements, which will seriously mess up my career and mental health and everybody will judge me including my family, friends, peers, and connections I made throughout my internships if they get to know and i can't sit at home for 6 months cause I want to work, work and work.

I’m super anxious, frustrated, and full of self-doubt. I worked really hard for these placements, juggling internships, college, and exams, and one exam has totally thrown me off track.

Waiting six months is going to be really tough because the thought of that failed exam is haunting me and I've no clue how to get rid of it.

I won't be attending my farewell and any meet-ups at all cause I'll be bluffing them.

Can I begin my career at one of the Big 4 firms (EY, PwC, KPMG, Deloitte) as a fresher instead of joining a law firm if I receive an offer from one of these companies? What are the salary expectations for a role at the Big 4 firms? Moreover, is it easy to transition to a law firm later on?

Hello, I've been browsing LI frequently for the past 2–3 years, and this is something I've had in the back of my mind for some time. I'm from a baby NLU and we've had our fair share of 'Legal Methods' in there. However, there's one problem I've encountered that revolves around publication, research, and writing.

I see IndCorpLaw, IRCCL, and other NLU blogs and journals and frequently try to see where I am going wrong. I have a few publications in journals (which are not very famous or esteemed), and I have a few drafts on which I am constantly working in my free time.

The problem in general is that all I am doing in the name of research is reiterate the same provisions, adding some judgements, past research papers, and some of my personal analysis before concluding that 3–4k word paper. This bothers me, as I'm not really adding anything new to the table. All I do is read and rephrase the descriptive information, add my interpretation, and get done with it.

Now I don't want to pursue academia, but I'm concerned that all I am doing in the name of research is just putting on a facade and not adding anything substantial. If anyone's had similar trouble, I'd like to know your experience and how you improved as a legal writer.

Which T1 NLU is this?

NLS: Has geysers in all hostels.

NALSAR: I am sure has better amenities and it would not be possible for you to come from a posh area to NALSAR every day.

NUJS: A 3bhk flat won't cost 45k in Kolkata.

Are you talking about NLUD?

Even if you fall for the offer, they would resort to cheap tactics of not making bonus payouts and doling out insignificant increments. The management should come out of their ivory towers and seriously consider damage control measures before the situation goes out of hand. The Bangalore office cannot be allowed to become a fiefdom of a few.
