Boss SJA President didn’t even write the letter, a bunch of drafters did

If you were a student of NUJS you would have known that but clearly you’re not so stop making these random fake comments on a public forum

The statement went through a GB vote where nearly 400 students approved it

I plan to join an office where I can function and earn money and be sane. And use some part of that money to start a business (not sure what). It is not easy to change careers when you have this burden to decide quickly, but it is possible. You have to ignore inputs of others and maybe just join an office with a practice area you actually have atleast some interest in until you figure something out.

There are multiple collaborative research projects in AI and law that has taken place or are still happening between NUJS faculty and the various IITs, IISER, and a couple of foreign universities over the past few years. I have come across research papers highlighting such work in arxiv, ACL Anthology and other known domains. Munjal faculty hasn't really produced any published output in the field that I could see. Sai people did too. I am not sure about electives in law schools, so can't comment about it.

I personally know a lot of fantastic lawyers from both SLS Pune and Noida. Of course, if finances weren’t an issue, SLS Pune might have made more sense. That being said, a lot of people decide to stay closer to their hometowns to save costs/be closer to family.

SLS Noida is a perfectly reputable school. Any college you go, you’ll have to put in the hours, hard work, sincerity and honesty, and that doesn’t change for SLS Noida as well.

Matter of policy. We will ignore if not through proper channels. Its not because we are arrogant - we have limited time and we whole heartedly dedicate it to seive through applications from proper channels. Considering applications from other channels will be a disservice to those who have applied properly.

And SJA couldn't rustle up the funds for its website? What stopped it from raising its own funds, seek sponsorship, donation etc?

Previously, soon after NKC came in as the VC, he shut down the medals awarded by the SJA. The then SJA prez didn't even bother murmuring a protest. His successors voluntarily emaciated whatever was left of the SJA.

Absolutely. NKC will be getting a second term. The Cal HC changes nothing. It is a direction to the LCC. Also, NKC in the TT News report today has clearly signalled game on. He doesn't fear a full on investigation.

But the SJA has been clearly hijacked or manipulated by a certain faction of the faculty. While it may have independently drafted the petition to the EC/CJI but the proverbial slip is clearly showing. The allegation is yet to be proved and the HC direction doesn't really concern the EC, which has been aware of the facts all along (irrespective of the fact whether it formally discussed those).

NKC hasn't exactly done wonders to NUJS but the powers that be are okay with his middling performance and want him around. Those powerful interests need to be shown that NKC is detrimental to their not-so-visible interests. And for that SJA really needs to rediscover its old self and steer clear for vested faculty and admin interests. This associate professor can fight her own battles.

There is still time. Wise up. Be clinical.

Just read the statement released by the NUJS SJA; what is the scene on the ground? Is the VC expected to be given a second term? Isn't this statement a little too late for a decision to be made on 28th May? What names are being floated around for the new appointment and what effect will it have on the governance of your college? Will the LS results have any impact on this appointment? Has the CJI bothered to respond or address this issue? And is any relief to any of the involved victims expected?

Not at all true. I think it depends on how curious you are to learn. I worked for 5-6 years and then did an LLM. During work years, I was always interested in knowing more about current developments in the law and kept reading regularly. The LLM was quite refreshing because it allowed me to take a break from work and spend a year doing just reading and writing.

You also want to think about whether some foreign law schools are themselves carrying out grade inflation, if you are thinking about an LLM. There have been serious accusations against Manchester in this regard. So you want to make sure that you aren't going to an LLM uni with grade inflation, in addition to ensuring your undergraduate uni has their house clean on that front :))).

1. Enough students have gone to foreign universities with an Indian LLB for them to know what a particular grade from an NLU is likely to mean. Therefore, they will have formed opinions on which is good and which isn't. Some, even, say so openly on their website, e.g., King's, who say that you need to be from a university "considered prestigious by King's" and have good grades from there (maybe misquoting, speaking from memory, don't have the page to hand ATM, but it was definitely something to that effect). Melbourne says something similar, I believe. Obviously, this means that an NLSIU kind of a degree is likely to be more valued than let us say (in modern conditions) a NUJS or some random TLC. Some mediocre places might still blindly look at good grades, but you wouldn't want to go to those anyway.

2. As somebody who studies in Britain at an RG uni, I am telling you this from observation. You should be aware that they tend (even if they don't say so) to look down on even the best NLUs as not being strict enough, in some senses. This is because those NLUs allow for students who fail/do badly in a law course exam to repeat it and still achieve within the full spectrum of grades. The Brits, on the other hand, do things very differently. If people fail module examinations here, they are made to resit the exam, but at most unis (particularly the Russell Group ones), the academic regulations are designed in such a way that the marks of students are 'capped' at the minimum passing grade (40% at the undergraduate level) if they fail an exam without extenuating circumstances; this means that, even if they achieve the highest mark on the resit exam, the mark noted on their transcripts will be 40%. (Of course, this doesn't take into account the situations where there are valid extenuating circumstances, like illness.) For people complaining about "academic rigour" and using UK law schools as a justification, this may be something worth thinking about. If I were somebody like Sudhir, the NLSIU VC, in order to make my institution's degrees even more highly perceived than they already are overseas, I'd tweak my own AER similarly to match the UK standard.

People occupy land illegally because the city has no affordable housing. It's so bad that even the middle class can't afford housing there. The Govts priority has to be to repeal outdated rent control and land tenure laws, increase housing supply and create an affordable housing market. Without that, the slums will stay.

Bombay be like that sometimes. Perception on bombay chances significantly as your salary increases. It is equally rewarding liberating and convenient for a rich person as it is harsh on a poor man. Half of the hometown cities which people list they miss don't even have clat coaching in their town forget law firms

Are you really putting HSA over JSA?

The practice focus and clients are very different in the infra field across firms.

So see what kind of work the team does (regulatory/government procurement/pure projects for pvt clients/m&a) and the clients before making a decision.

I actually agree more with the previous ranking.

Trilegal, SAM, CAM, JSA, AZB, saraf, indus

A quick raincheck. Students at DOMS pay double of what the to-be-liars pay. The faculty at DOMS boost the rankings by publishing. What we get in return is simply not enough. The best students have gotten into the top MBA schools in India and have moved on. So, all in all........wake up.....the world has changed while you were asleep

First time ever that the SJA has written to him. Belated, but well done to the students for uniting!

Cried in the partner's cabin when he yelled at me, it got really awkward. To be fair, I did mess something up and he wasn't as harsh as he could have been, I've heard worse. I'm just really tired, pmsing and overwhelmed. Do I risk making it worse by apologizing for crying or do I act like nothing happened? Please tell me I'm not alone, has this ever happened to you? I have okay mental health overall, not anxious or depressed so I don't really know why I cried, I'm so embarrassed afdjgkfhd

NUJS, in collaboration with King's College London, is hosting a 10-day Summer School on Financial Regulations and Corporate Law. The link for the same is here https://www.nujs.edu/home/summerschool2024/Is it a good opportunity, and should I go for it? Will it add value to my CV? The course costs 40k and that's a huge amount for me. Please help

Literally no one is trying to hold him back. Why would you even think that ? I just think shaming people or saying this stuff about them doesn’t help.

Yeah the phd is going on about 8 years- I know many people that have been doing that - there’s been a global pandemic in between those eight years, it’s an unfunded position so he’s had to work full time, teaching 2-3 courses a term at least not to mention all the admin work they put on him at nalsar. And he’s gotten married and had a kid. Raising a child is hard work.

Weakened his own case means what ? All his work ex doesn’t disappear no ? He’ll finish phd this year and knock out 2-3 pubs from that and get promoted to associate professor. Given the easier schedule at nls he has the breathing room to do that.

Someone doing their masters/phd immediately out of law school hasn’t had to deal with all that he has. So I would suggest that law school kids who don’t know what any of that is about and who are barely passing their own courses keep their nonsense to themselves.

Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.

A t1 job in law is extremely luck based even for top nlus (alot of factors at play: grades, mood of firms, for PPO your timing of joining may coincide with an a0 leaving etc etc).

Do not bank on the thought that if you do everything right you'll get placed. Many less deserving get ppos and avid mooters and toppers are left at the mercy of day zeros to take a team they don't want in a location they don't prefer.

If you can repay the loan even with a t2 t3 job then go ahead (or if dad can help in case you are unable ) But if you're someone who is purely depending on a t1 job for repayment. Then it's not worth it. From any college.

Hi, A2 here in a DR Team. I am usually someone who is a little more than usual diligent I.e., I need to do all tasks immediately, I need my partner to like me, I will constantly make sure that I’m doing good work and am being preferred, I go the extra mile for a matter be it the brain storming part or the logistics of it.

Recently, on holidays especially I’m unable to write a line straight without getting distracted. I’m sitting on a draft for weeks now, I just lay down and keep scrolling X. I have stopped my workouts which I earlier used to be regular with. I’m constantly agitated.

Fearing but have I hit the burnout stage? I tried taking a long weekend off but I did not feel energised and recouped.
