Be honest to the extent you can. They will feel bad if you lie for example if you say that you want to take a break or want to do completely different work which is not offered by that firm, it is fine. But if you lie as it is easiest to get out of a situation, that will create a bad impression in the heads of your existing place. No point burning bridges. It may require some work, but give it a serious shot.

1. Improve public education and government schools. Introduce and develop a national teaching service in line with the civil services. Attract top talent, pay well, and create a robust and good quality education accessible to everyone, with equal opportunity and regard to all, especially backward, communities.

2. Improve public health infrastructure. Increase the budget of health and offset maybe from other items that are not immediately necessary.

3. Create a ministry to strategize and take centralized action on climate change, global warming and other urgent environmental concerns on a priority basis.

4. Reduce governmental interference in educational institutions, and ensure academic freedom in all institutions of higher learning. Give better allocation of resources to all NLUs in an equitable and distributive manner. Help to push up NLUs that are struggling.

5. Bring in lane discipline, strict traffic rules, enforce anti-corruption and vigilance mechanisms, and work towards safer roads and better public infrastructure.

Though I am a BJP supporter, I will be the first admit that the BJP suffers from a serious deficit of professional talent. Or rather, Modi is reluctant to appoint talented people in the cabinet because he is insecure. Nothing stops him from appointing someone like Sanjeev Sanyal as Finance Minister, or Anand Ranganathan as Education Minister, or an NLSIU alum like Vikramjit Banerjee as Law Minister. But he won't do it.

1. Doing in advance where possible: Try to get things done before a deadline where the situation allows for such a thing. This is a more effective use of your time. For example, if you have a project due in three weeks, get started on it as soon as you can - maybe even on the day it is assigned - and do things in such a way that you finish well in advance (in a good scenario, maybe even a few days before the deadline). This allows you to review your work in peace and in a cool head.

2. Organising and planning: This should address your exam difficulty. Plan your essays in advance. Essentially, a form of 'rough working'. Just draw up a list of points you will cover in each section of your answer ('Introduction' will mention 1, 2, 3, body Part A will mention these three points etc.) - a very brief plan. You can do it as a list, a spider diagram... whatever you prefer. Then just follow the plan. This can apply to your projects as well. Using the three weeks example above, your plan can include what you will write on a particular day (i.e., which part of your project you will deal with).

3. Planning and using your time well: Ensure you have mastered information about your exam pattern very well. For example, if you have a 3 hour exam, and you have to answer two questions, you know that you should be spending no more than 1.5 hours on each question. Plan in such a way as to ensure that you aren't 'borrowing' time between one question and another (e.g., still working on your first question at 1 hour and 34 minutes). If you use your time well, you could easily finish both questions (producing well-written answers) within 1 hour 15 minutes, and could have a considerable amount of time to review your paper as well.

I finished my first year and wasn't sure how to continue after scoring in the top five during the first semester but almost failing the second, possibly because of the tech subjects, and I have not even started interning yet ( Bad decision ik ik) Please leave a comment if you would like to talk and give guidance!!

Honestly, even though I like the guy, I can't help but agree with you about his skills as an admin, to a certain extent at least. He should really have remained in Oxford after completing the DPhil. The guy is a good teacher and an equally good scholar, why he chose to go back and get all manner of hate from entitled fools at NUJS for just doing his job and an equal amount of hate from trolls (particularly on this platform) after taking on the top job at NLSIU is beyond me.

For god's sake, you people crib when NLS is not achieving in the rankings/not doing what western law schools are doing. When they do those things also, you have a problem. Are you aware that the highly-ranked law schools in Britain have a two-year fast tracked LLB for those who have a degree of another subject under their belt (where the typical LLB degree options are three or four years)? This 'set up for five year law only' stuff is just nonsense. Law schools need to evolve with the times. Sudhir, as far as I can see, is doing precisely that with NLS. Please stop this unreasoning hate. Oxford/Columbia's loss is NLSIU's gain.

Various students from the Muslim community have been admitted to NUJS under the OBC category. As I understand the judgement, their admissions will remain safe but future intake will not happen and they also cannot enter WB civil and judicial services as OBC candidates. The OBC category in Bengal will remain open to Hindus only from now. Of course, the matter is going to be litigated in the SC as it has pan-India implications.

Anyone have a different view?

Does anyone here have an e-copy of the work done by NLU Ranchi on children in conflict with law for UNICEF. Both NLU Ranchi and UNICEF have not responded to a request for a copy and it isn't available online as well.

Received such a non-response from CNLU Patna and UNICEF Patna Office.

Were the end products really that bad? Because the work cannot be deemed as classified. No state secret.

Contrast this with NLSIU. Several of their sponsored projects are available online.

I am a 2023 grad already working at a Tier 2. I would like to understand a little bit more about the Private Client Practice teams in Tier 1’s. I want to know about any experience in CAM KCO and Trilegal - and if they are paid less than Corp teams.

Also what is the scope for the area generally? Is it worth getting into such a niche practice area?

Can ex- Civil Judiciary officers make it big in white collar crime? Let’s say a person who is a CS, LLM graduate from Kings college and about 2 years of experience as a litigation lawyer under a senior advocate with practising ranging from corporate, insolvency, tax law and cracked civil judge exam. Would that person have a realistic chance of making partner at a T1 firm in Delhi in white collar crime?

Can someone for the love of god please help me understand why are the partners at Tier - I/II competition law practices so snooty and super selective regarding lateral entry.

Do the partners at these firms primarily or rather only consider the relative importance of the person through whom the candidate has reached out to them? I know the question seems inappropriate but I am frustrated with the sheer hypocrisy as people with experience are simply not being given a chance (on the pretext of being too senior) and on the other hand inexperienced/people with little to no practical experience are rather preferred.

And is it a good time to move away from competition law as the practice does not seem promising despite all the amendments.

I'm doing a 3 year LLB from a below average law college (as plan b), they don't focus on practical aspects at all (litigation, drafting, moot courts...) do I need to be well -versed in criminal and civil litigation if I'm considering corporate/ contract/Media law? Where can I learn these skills (other than Law Sikho- that's quiet expensive)

And Paralegals are paid same as interns. It’s a trap. They’ll ask you to leave your college and give you hopes of PPO. You’ll invest everything you have and at the right moment cut you off because you now have to pay heed to their own words. Don’t forget you quit and you don’t even get the relieving letter intentionally

Interned w them a while ago, some of the associates are really nice, SA not so much, the Partner defo not. If you're really passionate about TMT such as I was, the work there would be a bummer because it's only mostly restricted to gaming laws. They do a lot of gaming work, especially because the Partner is the best within the domain. Other assignments, exclusive of gaming work that is, are collaborative and bunch of people from different offices take care of those together. Otherwise, the SA was kinda rude tho, and so was the Partner. Not very welcoming for sure. So all in all, work culture is ummm just fine lmao.

I graduated from a top-5 uni in 2021, got into a top-3 uni for LLM before realizing there wasn't going to be much (any) placement assistance because of Covid and worked my butt off during internships. I managed to get an in-house role referred through an internship, and then changed to another company a year later. My internships were in law firms (mostly IP firms) though and I genuinely enjoyed the work there. The issue is that I have limited experience now in corporate law because all my work has been in-house, and I have no connections who can refer me (friends have their own practice and I am a first generation lawyer).

I've been wanting to get into law firms for a few months now, and I'm a little lost as to if it's even possible. Honestly at this point I'm up for even an assessment internship if it means I can get my foot in through the door. Does anyone know of anyone else who's worked in-house and manged to transfer to firms later? Or of firms who might be open to hiring people with limited experience in Bangalore? I'm not even thinking about T1 or T2 or anything, just a decent firm where I can learn is more than enough. Any ideas about what I should study? M&A I have worked with, but VC is a mystery to me tbh.

Any help or advise or a point in the right direction will be extremely appreciated.

"Like literally everyone in India is buying one these days" ignorant idiotic statement. This materialism and obsession with expensive things to fill the emptiness in our lives is futile. You'll buy your mercedes and you'll wish you had a private jet. For most in India having a car itself is an aspiration, a luxury. Be grateful for what you have. Your needs are met, now happiness will only come from within. For many even food is an if......

Faculty: Except a few professors, nobody knows their shit. Some are really experienced and have great industry knowledge. The corp law professor serves as Independent Director in top companies including NSE. For others like Tax - anyone who is free for the sem gets the subject.

Funding - more than any NLU or multiple NLUs combined, which enables good conferences and centre work.

Reputation - CAM is mass recruiter, and all alumni have become top partners at Indus, KCo, CAM, SAM, TT&A, AZB so no internship or job issues.

Infra - bad but liveable

Food - 3 days good, 2 days worst and 2 days bearable

Overall: Amazing college to be in.. good job prospects, if you can build your own knowledge well, it serves as good platform.

I am surprised at the comments on this thread. An Advocate / law student must know the law and apply it. It is a sad reality in our country that by and large, lower courts ignore the maxim "Bail is the Rule and PC/JC the exception". To all the uneducated ppl decrying the release of this person, please read the judgments in Arnesh Kr. and Satyander Kr. Antil.

Ppl are completely mixing up "arrest" with "conviction". The purpose of JC is only in cases the accused can tamper evidence, influence witnesses etc. In cases where the evidence is already at hand (such as CCTV etc.) bail is the norm. If the accused is convicted, he will serve the sentence for the offence. Denial of bail as a tool to "punish" is one of the most atrocious features of our criminal justice system. How many undertrials languish in JC without their trial proceeding at all - this should shock your conscience. Instead, base minded uncultured ppl seem to take vicarious pleasure in the sufferings of others.
