On the one had, the PA might be correct and absolutely being mistreated (which is wrong on his part).
On the other hand, the PA might be absolutely incorrect in how she chooses to describe the situation (which is wrong on her part).
Where does the truth lie?
On this forum, we’ve actually started shooting first and thinking later, we’ve started believing all the allegations without hearing the complete story; maybe we need to rethink our approach and start questioning what we’re seeing here.
Best of luck!
Internationally: Financial Times (UK and U.S.-focussed but also with good stuff about Europe and other parts of the world), Economist, London Times (UK focus), Wall Street Journal.
The reality is that we are oil and gas dependant. The Gulf sources were nearest and everything there has gone for a toss. Even if the war ends, the pumping and loading capacities are badly eroded and will come back online after some more years. Till then it will be a scramble from sources much further away. And no one cares about how refining is done. We don't just pump oil drawn from the wells into the vehicles. And oil isn't just vehicles.
Be that as it may, India will do well to push hard on electrification. Why make domestic cooking gas dependant. Ensure better, stable and always available electricity. And bring mission speed to thorium fueled nuclear energy.

W.r.t. WCC, I have not directly worked/interned with or seen these teams up close and personal but from what I've caught on from classmates/colleagues, most teams actually don't do proper WCC as much as they do mainly compliance work. As you've rightly pointed out, core criminal practice cannot be equated to WCC teams as the myriad procedures/courts/work remains unknowable to a WCC Associate. However, good WCC teams do seem to give you weighty matters in PMLA/SARFAESI for example so that's that.
In contrast to this, there are NO slow days in Delhi Disputes if you are in a decent-sized terms in terms of filing. Days which seem slow actually bother you and you check and recheck your case-diary entry list or calendar to verify in case you missed a meeting and will be blasted for it by your seniors.
1. Was the "[AI generated]" flag inserted into the title by the OP or by the moderators?
2. If the moderators inserted the flag, on what basis was this done? The use of the m dash? Or the bombastic, quasi news coverage-like tone of the post? Or both? Is it that the two factors in conjunction point in the direction of AI or something? Or do you have some positive proof that this was generated by AI such as an AI detection tool? If so, what tool are you using and what is its reliability?
NB: I am not the OP in disguise. The only reason I opened the post was actually the flag, because the fact is that my career ambitions are such that what does or does not happen at a T1 disputes practice is information as irrelevant to me as Sherlock Holmes found the workings of the solar system to being a detective, though I will acknowledge that one person has given a very good answer which I hope those for whom this is relevant will find useful.
Do not give in to self harming thoughts. Put in the grind, worth it.
idk how to go about this - I gave clat 2026 and to say it didn't go well would be an understatement because i ended up with an air 12,000.
I've always was never able to get very good grades because of the fact that i honestly used to lack discipline. i got low 80s in 10th and 12th, couldn't get through clat and also couldn't do Mhcet 5 years well. I am just....such a bucket of failure and even though i've started studying sincerely, the despair won't go away. My home life is extremely turbulent and all i want is to go to a T1 NLU next year and leave this place
I just don't know what to say... My mental health has reached an absolute all time low. I've started getting such dark, painful thoughts and have basically zero emotional support system at home. I've even started considering self harming again. This sub is always some how the one place that motivates me to keep going because of the personal stories that a lot of you share.
Plus I have all these questions like Are double droppers discriminated or treated differently socially? and.. even philosophically" if i get a good rank this time, will my previous failures still be relevant?
Which partners in Trilegal Bengaluru are hiring? Have heard Jaideep Reddy gave a PPO to someone from NUJS recently can someone confirm please. Also Nikhil’s team took an assosciate ig
What about NDA, now that only Kamath is left, do they even have a practice to hire..
What about partners from khaitan who do tech with gen corp work like Sanjay khan Nagraj (do they give direct PPOs)
And who from SAM?? But have heard SAM/CAM only give 2 week internships if you go by reference?
Do any other Tier 1s have active practices in blr that hire, will they still consider me or is hiring for BO’27 done? I’ve heard a lot of Data privacy work is coming in so juniors are needed
When the origins of these endowments among others are deeply suspect and the subsequent history then you get this.
If you want to run them down, there is plenty ammo. Maybe there is a smoking gun here too. If yes, don't wait for a mewing SJA. Get the numbers, organise the facts and secure due direction from the new govt to undertake a proper forensic audit of NUJS finances including this one.
Just begin with the Justice PN Sinha Inquiry report. Follow the crumbs.
EC etc records are a fascinating trove of info. No wonder every admin has been deeply reluctant to make the entire process transparent and accessible. And our dear teach in the EC have been complicit in maintaining the opacity.
Will the well-qualified partners they poached from other firms leave?
Will the firm merge into KCO?
Will Amit Shah order the ED to resume the investigations into Abhishek Banerjee and Sanjay Basu?
OR…
Will it be business as usual?
Will the BJP govt retain AQUILAW?
Will Abhishek Banerjee patch up with the BJP?
Because one X factor is that Sanjay Basu has bought Ei Samay newspaper.
PS: Coding I understand isn't required imo, you're a lawyer after all. No?
I understand LegalAI startups have a different need than traditional firms with TMT practice, but how does one make it into either? I am BO'27, any advice, leads would be of great help!
All 4 are really good, having worked in the space for some time, I'd say khaitan is probably the best from what I have heard and I work at one of these 4 firms and it isnt khaitan.
Thinking it's better to take a drop for srcc, still finish in 4 years overall, get placement, almost no debt, could do law later on too, today I have to go to the bank for loan, would be much helpful if anyone has any advice, from my research i would be losing nothing at srcc that a top nlu provides except for maybe a really good mess

Sounds like he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Why bother with explanations? Just kick him out.
Disputes work pertains to scdrc, insurance advisory (in short emails to insurers and brokers)
you will work mainly on zambian law , etc and matters pertaining to the same, since one of the firms largest clients operates over there
Culture- not like that of a conventional law firm
