Hi, looking to get some input about Indus Law, Bangalore, specifically their dispute resolution practice. Any information regarding their litigation practice, a rough range of pay for someone with 1-2 years PQE, culture, toxicity (if any) and work-life balance would be much appreciated, thanks!

hello guys, (I am an advocate with one year of experience in district court)

I have been trying to get hired by any tier 1 law firm in India. I've sent over 100s of emails to these law firms and have not got any response. Does anyone have any idea about the hiring process of these law firms? or how to get through it?

People working there can give their suggestions

Thank you!

What wonderful logic! If the SRC doesn't say bad things about Sudhir, it is because he is part of their old boy network; if they do, he will dismiss their findings! My fine friend, I would like to know if the following points have ever crossed your mind.

1. All of the academics on the SRC are much more senior than Sudhir. We discuss ad nauseam on this platform (which pretty much has a foot in the grave and several toes of the other one in as well) that Sudhir got a leg up thanks to MP Singh. Ever thought that even if he was a 'friend' of theirs, they might look upon him as someone promoted before his time, and not be influenced by him because of that? You have to remember that these guys, smart as they are, are Harvard/Oxford people, in unis filled with Harvard/Oxford qualified people, so no MP Singh-style favours for them. In their own countries, they have had to go through the same process of climbing the regular ladder, rung-by-rung, which Sudhir would have had to go through as well, if he had chosen to remain in the UK, and even in India, if fortune wasn't kind enough to send along MP Singh, who was smart enough to spot his potential. Also, have you thought that they may not know him very well? He doesn't live (or work) in England or the U.S. full time, remember? So there's your rebuttal to the 'friends of Sudhir' point.

2. They might, just, be independent and not influenced by anything other than their own observations and the mandate they have been given (including any fear of a backlash from Sudhir)? Also, in case you have forgotten, Sudhir/NLSIU promised that the SRC findings would be published openly this time. A nice, cranky little fool he'd look, crying about a commission he himself supported! Come on guys, get a life! Sudhir may not be a perfect administrator, but he is also far from the blithering idiot you make him out to be, so please stop trying to paint a picture you know is impossible to paint.

3. Finally, in case you have forgotten, he praises the western universities (his PR about NLSIU not withstanding). I remember this thread where folks were making fun of him for saying that universities should stick to 'fundamental first principles'. Surely, he'd look a bit foolish if he said random stuff about westerners being 'jealous' of NLSIU, when he is making the very same point that western academics (especially British ones) make all the time in response to any criticism that their law curriculums are too theoretical.

I am a fresh graduate from a non-NLU college, and I have not been able to get a job as of now. I am really nervous about what to do, and I need the job.

My area of specialisation is corporate and M&A.

Can anyone please suggest something? Any advice, any suggestion, anything at all.

Does anyone know of any firms that are hiring? I am also open to assessment internships.

Please, please, please help!!!

LATEST UPDATE 2023

About to graduate in just 2 months and don't have any idea what to do next. I'm from a 3 yr llb college with negligible placements. All the internships I have secured so far have been through sheer luck. Since beggars are not choosers I accepted whatever I could get which has now resulted in me having a very superficial resume with no specialization/skillset as such. The most notable internships I did were at SAM in the disputes team and an IP internship at a t2 firm. I barely scraped through those internships. Associates had to explain me same task umpteen times and so was gradually assigned clerical/data entry work due to my glaring inability to do research/drafting. I had a hard time comprehending sections and finding relevant cases for research propositions. Surprisingly though, I'm good at studies as I'm efficient at mugging up stuff without understanding concepts no matter how hard I try. I know I'm not capable of getting a job at those law firms or anywhere where a lot of IQ is required. I want to know what all are the realistic career options open for someone like me? Please don't suggest bpo/sales. My family would never let me work there.

I have a lot of childhood trauma due to bullying, abuse and low self-esteem so don't have much ambition currently other than being able to afford therapy and get my mental health in order first. I tried asking this on reddit but the post failed to attract much traction. Hopefully, I get some solid advice here. I'll be forever grateful. TIA.

No, the scene isn't the same across all NLUs. Be it NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS or NLUD, you can name good faculty known outside of their universities on national or even international levels. The number may differ, but they are there. GNLU has never had such people since its inception. Good faculty can help students reach their full potential and guide them to pursue avenues beyond the usual. Never underestimate its importance.

So, as far as I know, only few colleges had this facility. NUALS was one of them. Many of the people from non NLUs and even lower NLUs could take admission based on CLAT rank. They used to have it because there were 4-5 people who would leave NUALS by the end of first year- changing stream, getting better college etc.So, in 2nd year, they used to have it. Not sure about now.

In the UK, this has become more difficult. I am a law student there and can confirm. A friend of mine tried to transfer, by applying while doing his first year at QM, to LSE and Durham. He had both the board marks for it, and did well in LNAT when he applied to transfer in first year of law school. No joy. Blame Sudhir until you are blue in the face, but you can't accuse him of not emulating the attitudes that the creamy law schools overseas have. In fact, from what little I have observed, I can state this: if you don't like Sudhir, you wouldn't have liked most British law school academics or admins either (at least the ones who are well-regarded here).

How is the political situation at NLS? I presume that it is generally left-wing. Is democratic socialism in vogue there, or is Marxism the popular ideology? Lastly, is Classical Liberalism, especially the Locke-Harrington version, which I believe in, socially acceptable or not?

Before deciding this please compare the placement statistics or nluo and rgnul, both of them are available on their websites for the batch of 24. You can chose rgnul if u wanna pursue judiciary, but if otherwise, Please go for NLU Orissa and Don't prioritise nlu Patiala for location, infra or anything because the placements and faculty at nluo over weigh rgnul. Distance and everything won't matter when you will be struggling for jobs and decent facilities in the end.

I don't have any idea about DU
