I will be joining a T1 firm. The practice area is not finalised yet but most likely Gen Corp. I want to know what should I keep in mind before starting? Is there anything I should read up, practice, basically anything? I have not worked in Gen Corp a lot and I'm pretty clueless about what kind of work I'll be expected to deliver.

I want to perform good. In spite of all the toxicity, long hours, etc. I really want to give my best shot at this. I am come from a lower middle class background and the money is very very important to me. I don't want to look or sound stupid when I go there. I am already very intimated by the kind of people you find at T1 firms.

Even non-work related tips would help. Anything I should read/learn/do to fit in well in the firm? Things that are appreciated/frowned upon. Please don't put trollish responses. I really need some valuable inputs. Sincere responses here will decide how I spend my days before joining. Will be grateful to the LI community 🙏

Also, Mods I feel a lot of kids are in the same boat currently. Could you please mark this as featured so that more people can benefit from this thread? Thanks a lot.

Can’t take the name of my college l as LI will censor it, but our RCC is a cesspool of corruption and toxicity. These guys act like god and help their friends get jobs ahead of more deserving students. Also, some guys gaslight girls into having relationships with them, in exchange for help with jobs. We have complained many times and two resignations have taken place, but after the damage was done.

We hear stories of unethical and corrupt lawyers. Well, this is where it begins!

Does doing an LLM guarantee a job? Are there any realistic prospect of doing it..? Most people have advised me that it adds no real value to resume and just a filler. Plus CLAT PG is always going to be a gamble.. btw.. do they really hire in PSU's from top 50 rankers.. or do they see work ex too?

"succumb to" either means when you give in to temptation, or when you die because of something.. When I first read your post, I was shocked, then I realised you prob mean fainted or some such thing.. fainting in not 'succumbing to'. It is important to be mindful of what you write, especially as a lawyer

Anyone who knows your work well, likes you and is even marginally invested in your success is good to write letters for you - in most cases, someone who's taught you in law school, if you have graduated many years ago, a professional, e.g., a law firm partner, a judge whom you worked under etc. You want to ask them at least a month (sometimes two) in advance, so they have enough time to prepare and write it (I asked my professor for a recommendation letter on 15th October for an application due 10th December). Send them copies of your CV/publications so they have insights of you in front of them - they'll likely just know your classroom performance and assessment grades (in the case of law professors). Then you just input their names and contact details into the application portals of the unis you are applying for, they'll get an automated email with a link and they can follow that to upload their writing. NB: You should always include a professional address, not a personal or gmail one (therefore abc@xyzuni.ac.in, rather than abc@gmail.com). The unis can get quite fussy about it and create no end of tamasha about fraud and all.

One substantial reason:

"Where's the liberal outrage here for unbiased and independent journalism? Why should any viewer consider the content or the narratives platformed on The Wire as gospel truth and not INDI Alliance election propaganda?"

The post is clearly disingenuous. 'Liberal outrage' is intended as trollish. For some reason the response decided to not engage with the subject, which was a lawyer / politician talking about stuff that could be of interest to lawyers.

Instead the post went ad hominem on The Wire, which while not perfect and definitely having an ideological slant in nowadays' polarised environment, is still for the most part doing real jorunalism.

Please deal with the facts and arguments, not political mudslinging.

Hi guys,

Does anyone have a clue about what the joining date for CAM A0s are for the 2024 batch. I know that the email for location and seat preferences happened first week of May.

Realistically, when do you think the joining will be? Is it likely to be as late as last week of August like it happened to the 2023 batch?

I’m just anxious about figuring out living situation.

Largely depends on the team you’re working with. Some teams offer a PPO interview right after the first internship whereas others expect you to intern twice. Do note that SAM often changes the team you intern with when you’re on your callback, still counts as a second internship. In any case, make your intent to be assessed clear, try maximising your interaction with your associates and be willing to learn, SAM Associates are great mentors. Everything else should fall into place. Good luck

Oh okay. So we went from "its not true" to " if its true, its just disinformation" to "if its not disinformation, the sources are biased" to " if the sources aren't biased, its complicated" to "if its not complicated then, then it isnt relevant"

I know where it goes from here- "if its relevant, it doesnt hurt anyone" to "if it hurts people, then I/ my side dont mean it" to " if we do mean it its because youre a facist bigot terf"

Of course when you start from the assumption that anyone who disagrees is a bigot- its hard to come to another conclusion. Just why bother trying to debate people when youre not willing to consider new information at all? go educate yourself.

Relegated to the margins is a stretch. A religious cult that chooses to self isolate and can only take care of its aged and grow its numbers through dubious criminal practices seems more accurate to me. You put out links for your position in the other thread- I quoted from those very articles to explain why I think the evidence and interpretation were at odds. You never responded- the same thing is happening here. Im tired of repeating myself to someone who doesnt bother to read anything against their cognitive biases.

It doesnt have any bearing on people who claim to be non-binary. Thats what Im saying. Hijras are - mostly- not non binary. In surveys theyve conducted for themselves they define themselves as men who were castrated in horrible circumstances. This has been their story until very recently. They went to courts to stop forced castrations. So Non-Binary or trans is a different thing. I think a very western very divorced from reality idea based on bad philosophy is trying to gain a foothold and gain sympathy in this country on the backs of these poor men. It is a thing in western academia to exoticise and romanticise all things orient and to ascribe to ancient wisdom what can be ascribed to more banal and often more horrifying material realities. Hijras arent some ancient divine caste in Hinduism that proves the existence of all these new identities. Just like devadasis dont prove some ancient divine feminine role. Theyre religious cults that exploit poor people in society.

if 99% of women claimed they were being assaulted- yes- I would assume no woman could consent to sex. We do assume women cannot consent to sex under circumstances dont we? when theyre drugged or drunk or trafficked? When there are power equations or when theyre children?

For a lot of these people- castration happens when theyre children or under influence or once theyve been trafficked. Im not here to argue the edge case of someone who just likes the aesthetic and volunteers- Just like I dont argue the edge case of the woman who finds prostitution extremely rewarding and could have other jobs but chooses not to and really she gets to pick the men she has sex with and when. Thats not the case for the majority of prostituted women. When youre talking about social groups you rarely argue the edge cases. Theres obviously exceptions for anything anyone might say for any group- that doesnt mean there arent averages and there arent studies and there isnt realiable data we can generalise from.

exactly. Thank you. The philosophy is not about hijras. Hijras are not non binary. Not by a long shot. Thats all my point is. its not my empirically grounded science survey- its by the all india hijra kalyan sabha.

If esoteric western philosophy is to be accepted in law and policy making in india- it must be on its own merits- not because theyve managed to coopt an already victimised group.

so the british you think dont save us because they did enact laws that protected women and children- but post war french philosophers who were a little too into kids- those are gods wwe should unquestioningly worship? Do you even know how to use your ▮▮▮? have you ever used it? its good for more than ▮▮▮ the ▮▮▮ you hear in gender studies classes. ▮▮▮ .

Non binary thinking posits that we define the words "woman" and "man" not by sex- but by some adherence to gender stereotypes or a gendered soul. It absolutely posits that women and men are real only if they also feel a fealty to those gender stereotypes. Sex is irrelevant as your pope Judith Butler says.

Ive not made half the assumptions youve made about me. Run away because you cannot hold your own in an argument. Rational fears about womens rights and freedoms doesnt mean that the feminist project is inherently limited. Freedom to what is the problem. Not freedom as an abstract concept.

Pick me behavior refers to women who find it easier to cater to males and their feelings to gain advantages in social settings rather than to stand up for all women. Thats what youre doing. Left wing men are still men honey- theyre just as capable of being patriarchal.

The existence of religious nuts who hate your religion doesnt surprise me. The existence of men who hate trans people doesnt surprise me. Just because those guys are against some group doesnt mean we should all join teams. Women can think for themselves and arrive at their own positions about what is best for women.

Youve never heard of it doesnt mean it hasnt happened? Please go to these trans orgs and ask about what "genital preferences" are and whether theyre transphobic? Please go to everyday feminism that cheer leaded this crap. Please google "cotton ceiling". Its not projection because its inconvenient to your world view. Why do you think Gays and Lesbians are disassociating themselves from the gender ideology movement? because if sex is not real and doesnt matter then there can be no homosexuality. Please read the people I cited- Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindel, please watch Magdalene Berns' videos. Please look up what happened to Katie Herzog. Please open your eyes and go read about the Tickle v Giggle case. Theyre literally arguing lesbians cannot have a lesbian only dating app without including male-bodied people.

Consider that youre in a media bubble. Read the cass review, read Hannah Barnes' book, read Abigail Shriers book and Helen Joyce's book. There are stories of hundreds of kids being pushed into transitioning because of gender non conforming behavior. Gay kids and Autistic kids. Watch Vaishnavi Sundar's Dysphoric if reading is too much for you.

Go to shewon.org there are hundreds of women who have had their opportunities stolen because of your movement. Go to reduxx- youll read hundreds and thousands of stories about women who have been locked in prisons or been denied same sex spaces with male bodied rapists because they claim theyre trans. Read the NHS Confederation guidelines which states that women dont have a right to same sex care.

Just because youve closed your eyes and ears to it - doesnt mean its not happening. Your ignorance of the world doesnt mean the world doesnt exist.

What is the update on the SH matter against the VC? The AP went to Cal HC. Just because one of her WPs is before a judge who used to be BJP member (during his time as a lawyer), this AP is being unfairly labelled as being a saffron acolyte looking to scalp VC for being TMC supportive. But the VC is known to have rainbow connections.

Datta has already been nominated as the replacement of Bose in the NUJS EC. There will be a meeting in this month, where NKC will get an extension for at least two years. After that, he will be allowed by the state government to pick his successor, which will probably be one of the Dubes.

Sucks in which parameters exactly?

Does NLIU have better qualified faculty? No

Does NLIU offer superior placements to students?No

So I'm not sure which parameter you are talking about, maybe the fees? Yes I think the fees is slightly lower in NLIU, not sure though.

Is it only me discovering some cases/papers/other reference material by effective google search; putting down key-words, some in quotes. Not saying this paid databases should not be utilized, but IDTS they can solely be relied on for research. I remember a tweet going as "search from Indian Kanoon, print from SCC".
