You seriously thought that Chandu and Dipu ever took interest in SJA petition? Even when the BJP caused an upset in 2019 LS, the EC continued true to its character and we were blessed with NKC. A well known "BJP leader" had her two boys studying at NUJS. Another was well-known to a faculty member etc. The so-called "earthquake" was missing as it is now.

The EC runs on a calculi of loyalty as per royalty. VC knows that. Those who play it well are supported to drive the gravy train. NKC has been a far better driver than PIB.

Das is Odia, not Bengali. And stop bringing stupid regionalism here. If you bring up regionalism I can say that the British made Calcutta the second-most important city of the British Empire after London, and Bengal was the engine of the Indian economy until the 1960s (even more than Maharashtra), but the reckless populism and anti-industry policies of Jyoti Basu and Mamata Banerjee have today made Bengal among the lowest-ranking states, where the poverty and desperation of the masses compels them to vote for corrupt criminal politicians merely because of a paltry monthly dole.

What India needs is a reformist FM who can think out of the box, from any state or community. It might also restore investor confidence if Modi goes for a non-political choice from outside politics. Maybe Kiran Mazumder Shaw, Naina Lal Kidwai or Arundhati Bhattacharya.

Near Nmims kpmsol, pgcl and jccl, Mumbai there are food stalls such as Anand dosa, dhiraj dosa, and some similar eateries in the same lane. Apart from that there's juhu beach where you can get a variety of chats, and street food at expensive rates. At a higher end there's blabber all day, mauj, udupi, etc.

This is a false equivalency. Do you really mean to say that Hamas is a law and order problem ? They’re the elected government in Gaza. In broad daylight they crossed borders went into villages and kibbutzes and music festivals and killed and raped people. And they filmed it all in freaking go pro. They still have hostages. This is not a law and order problem. And sorry to say this isn’t resistance to oppression either. They went after civilians and tourists and women and children. This is a declaration for war. It’s an atrocity. If the RSS went ahead and did the same thing to a Muslim ghetto tomorrow you’d be outraged and demand we declare the outfit a terrorist organisation and use military force against them. Don’t you understand that sympathy for Muslims doesn’t need to mean becoming an Islamist ?

I want the war to stop - but to argue that Hamas didn’t start it or that Hamas is some resistance is honestly completely morally vacuous. If Hamas is not a terrorist organisation , neither is the alqaeda , the LeT, or the the KKK.

If “power” is the only way you’re gonna differentiate between good people and bad people - you have no understanding of ethics, morality, human agency or responsibility. If you’ve really allowed some flanderised version of post war French intellectualism to convince you there is no right or wrong there is only power - congratulations - you’re literally voldemort.

Most blogs will publish based on the content and not the name or qualifications of the author (except if you are a very big shot professional). As a student your college doesn't matter, it is the quality of what you write which will be considered.

Generally you can give it about 2 weeks and then send it somewhere else.

Leave aside the fact that we seem to have one rule for Adish Agarwala and another for Kapil Sibal when it comes to making partisan political statements while holding the office of SCBA Prez. Instead, these are the questions that are circulating in Delhi's power corridors and which we should think about:

1. Is Kapil Sibal is trying to topple the Modi government by poaching Nitish and CBN? Has anyone engaged him to do this?

2. Or, since Sibal has exited the Congress, is he trying to be someone with friends in both NDA and INDIA? Officially, our man is an "independent" MP and not with any political party.

3. If we add up votes of MPs and MLAs of the INDIA Alliance + TDP + JDU + BJD + YSRCP, could that be enough for them to decide the next President or Vice President of India?

Intelligent people belong to all parts of the political spectrum. They treat the market as a long-term careful instrument to work with, not an overnight get-quick-rich scheme. They will gain and keep earning whoever is in power. You on the other hand should figure out what is making you more sad, that your party did not get to eradicate all opposition and emerge as a dictatorship, or that you lost your money relying upon the words of the politicians and their stooges who don't give a damn about you or your gain/loss.

Here is the #1 reason: the share of 18-25 years olds is increasing and senior citizens are passing away. This young demographic is naturally left-leaning. They also watch only social media, not TV channels. All over the world social media is dominated by left-liberal influencers. I mean, every second college student in India has a Palestine flag and pronouns in their bio. In India, more people watch Dhruv Rathee than news channels.

Hey everyone, So there is a law firm salary excel floating around and it's extremely useful to shortlist places to apply for jobs and internships, Can we start one with In house teams cause i just got an offer for a year-long internship with decent pay if one does not already exist?

I am someone who was ranked just above the median at a Tier-1 NLU and managed to get a PPO from a tier 1 firm.

Being well aware that academics were not my strong suit, I compensated by participating (and doing really well) in multiple moots and ADR competitions. I also had about 8 publications at platforms of repute.

Doing this helped me build a CV much stronger than my batchmates, eventually leading me to internship shortlists at a few top firms.

I interned with the GC team at a Lower Parel law firm and ended up making a good impression on the team based on my work.

This led me to a callback internship. I toiled day and night and eventually secured an offer in my 7th semester.

Had I not been able to get a PPO then, my chances of survival at Day Zero could have been bleak due to my average-ish batch rank.

tldr; don't lose hope champ. Just keep pushing yourself to your best and you'll get through.

Any chance the BJP will listen? The guy is pretty influential in RW circles and is seen as their version of Fali Nariman lmao … Also, OpIndia commands the same influence in BJP circles that The Wire does in Cong circles

Don't trust any rankings.

MUJ is not known for law. This list can help:

First preference: NLUs

Second Pref: Top private law schools viz. JGLS, symbiosis, Nirma, Christ, etc

Third preference: Govt law colleges and central universities like DU, GLC Mumbai, ILS Pune, BHU, school of excellence Chennai etc

Since you’re bringing this up, the woke/left ecosystem is filled with harassers but they get away. Look at Mahmood Farooqi and Tarun Tejpal. Both acquitted after misogynistic judges engaged in slut-shaming. Than you have Lawrence Liang, defended by feminist queen Nivedita Menon.

Something similar happened with me too in a high paying boutique law firm. It was 9 and no work was alloted to me so I left while some other intern was packing and leaving office, the Associate asked him why did I leave without his permission. Ab kya 12 baje tak manjira bajau udhar?

Another associate alloted some urgent work to all the interns and when one intern asked her about the office timings, she said the office is open for 24 hrs, don't worry about it closing. :⁠-⁠)

I respectfully, yet partially, disagree with your perspective Sir/Ma'am, for the following reasons:

1. Outdated Contracts in the Entertainment Industry: Many contracts in the entertainment industry are currently in a poor state. They often rely on outdated templates from the early 2000s, many of which are void or voidable as they conflict with basic copyright law and the 2012 amendment. An experienced litigator can easily obtain interim orders to declare these contracts void on being instructed by an entertainment lawyer. This is true, and I've done this several times before. Therefore, if AI is being trained on such flawed data, it is unlikely to surpass the expertise of human lawyers.

2. Uniqueness of Entertainment Contracts: Contrary to popular belief, not all entertainment contracts are identical. Unlike other industries where contracts typically involve incorporated entities, entertainment contracts frequently involve individuals who can be narcissistic, egotistical, and stubborn. While entrepreneurs may exhibit similar traits, dealing with overconfident celebrities or artists presents a unique challenge. These agreements often include nuanced clauses such as nudity riders, option clauses, and key man clauses, which require detailed human conversation, discussion, and explanation—tasks that AI cannot yet adequately perform.

3. Additional Roles of Entertainment Lawyers: Entertainment lawyers often serve multiple roles beyond legal representation. They act as artist managers, business development advisors, and strategists, helping clients monetize their work, ensuring royalty income streams are active, and facilitating networking between creatives. While you specifically mentioned contract/agreement lawyers, it is important to note that the broader role of entertainment lawyers encompasses activities that AI is not equipped to handle anytime soon.

I agree that AI is becoming more powerful and useful, but it is not poised to replace lawyers anytime soon. I used ChatGPT to create the response above by providing my points as prompts and asking it to redraft or rewrite them in better language and structure. As far as I'm concerned, that's the extent of AI's current capabilities: rewording inputs that only human lawyers can conceive and articulate.
