The moderation has gotten very slow past couple of weeks. I would like to volunteer, on the dark side of course. I have gotten a PPO and have free time on my hands to help people out. If you guys need any help, I will gladly help. I have been using this place since my first year and some of the threads helped me out. And many didn't but the ones that did meant a lot.

True, just take a look at Allahabad hc. Here you'll find even the most third class lawyers went on to become judges directly because their daddies were judges. Also we had one muslim judge Justice Imtiyaz Murtaza who runs his own ponzy law college which sells degrees here at lucknow. When he was a sitting judge he got made his own nephew the Government Advocate of the state. His nephew Rishad Murtaza was a very young lawyer who became GA because of nepotism eventually his name was send for elevation but it was never confirmed. Good riddance I would say.

I actually don't understand the constant attacks on "nepo kids" - yes they have it easier initially, but would you not help your kid if they are in the same profession? It's natural, isn't it?

All professions have this - when kids of school teachers get admission easily, no one has an issue. How come this hypocrisy?

In all likelihood, you would help your child too and not throw them to endlessly struggle when you have made something of yourself after years of struggle already.

Nairs are not Dalits/ untouchables. Kerala system only had Brahmin, Kshatriyas and the Others.
Nairs were a respectable sect of Kerala, it is not even seen as a Shudra like other parts of India.

Nair/Menon/Pillai are all the same. No one considers them Shudras. Dalits on the other hands were actually treated as untouchables. Hence they are avarnas.

Why not write it and post it as a thread/conversation here itself. I don't think there is a word limit on OP's comment. Take for eg this thread:

Electricity Law, I feel perhaps is the most lucrative Tribunal to practice. Apart from APTEL, there's i think electricity commissions in every state. If i am not wrong at JSA one of two key managing partners Amit Kapur also solely practices electricity law. in fact, Vishrov Mukherjee who was the other high profile partner to move to Tri last year, with Anuj Berry, also solely practices electricity law. Even Akshay Jaitly (Tri co-founder) was key person in electricity law and routinely puts up electricity sector posts on his Linkedin.

A close friend who practices electricity keeps telling me me how in SC electricity law matters are some of the biggest commercial matters with dispute value almost always being above 500-800cr and its only the top tier silk gowns who are briefed. I feel the reason is that its the playing field of adanis, tatas, reliance, vedanta, renew power. He tells me Tri, KCO, JSA, DSK are knee deep in the practice. There a lot of small boutiques firms like SKV and MSA Partners with a good chunk of the work who are good paymasters as well. to summarize electricity is some serious money for those who can get in.

They keep changing their interview format. I had my interview last September when there were 2 rounds. They asked me basic HR question along with CV specific questions. My friend who interned there in February had a debate round for the interview.

They take internship interviews very seriously (even the HR round) so prepare accordingly. Good Luck!

Well, J Sai Deepak has said that there is lesser negativity as we go down South, just because of much more no. of temples. He said to look at the fact that lesser invasions took place in the South. Well, that is why perhaps Haryana where I come from and its goon like jaats are so inhumane

Congo on making it to T-1! I hope it works out well. That 80k hike from 12-15k is decent but definitely not commensurate with say your peers at the T-1, as you mentioned.

To understand further. Do all firms do this 10-15% hike and not match salaries with existing associates? Or are there any exceptions? Because if there aren't any exceptions I am wondering what scope you would have to increase salary prospects to match your peers at T-1. Frequent changing of jobs may be one way but I don't think that would be very feasible or well appreciated.

Taj Chambers Club

Oberoi Belvedere Club

The Club at Four Seasons

Equus at St Regis

Is it easy to be a member here and do many law firm-ites join? I google for Taj Chambers and saw that Senior Advocate Atmaram Nadkarni is a member (he apparently threw the "famous" party where Mahua Moitra was photographed, leading to the Henry-Hiranandani controversy).

Hi TheHustler as you said your CV has all the qualification for T1 Firm then why to doubt yourself? If you want T1 you will get T1. Accept this rejection and start looking for more opportunities, work on your skills and CV, you will definelty land at whatever place you want. Keep the desire alive no mattter what.

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well. I am a first generation law student in my 2nd year of LLB and I needed help, my areas of interest lay in media entertainment laws and intellectual property laws, I am located out of Mumbai, coming from a 3 year LLB and a tier 3-4 college I don't have much scope to get a placement through college or get into any tier1 firms, I have done all my corporate internships in tier1 or 2 firms so far and would appreciate any leads I can get on any media and entertainment or intellectual property firms that hire students from non-nlu/ tier 1-2 colleges and pay decent (non litigation firms who pay over 40k per month)

ps- please note that all my previous internships have been general corporate or Banking Finance related.

When I was studying in London many years ago, such protests were common: there were student protests at LSE, KCL, UCL and other reputed colleges. But these protests were largely driven by students from Pakistan, Bangladesh and other Muslim countries (or British-Muslim students whose parents were from these countries). What we are seeing in the US is that these protests are being joined in by white, non-Muslim students who identify as socialist, as well as non-Muslim African-American students. They are drawing connections between Palestine and BLM. The size of the protest group is thus much larger and more diverse. Also, whereas the London protests were limited to protest marches here the protests are a lot more disruptive, with buildings being occupied and classes being cancelled. This is the key difference.

I (3rd year, going to 4th) have a general corporate internship coming up at SAM in July. How do I prepare for this internship, and what is expected of me to impress the SA's to get a callback?
If someone with prior internship/work experience at SAM can help me out, please do.

Hi 4th year law student, I think 3 moots and 2 publications are really good. You can write more papers and blogs, try scoring good marks in your 5th year to balance your CGPA. Choose a practice of your choice and try to become expert in that. Don't Strees. Also in your free time I would really suggest you to read "Don't believe everything you think by Jospeh Nguyen". It's a short very read, you will find your answers all by yourself.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your legal advice regarding an employment matter. I have been working as a payroll contract technician in a PSU for the past 12 years, with my contract being extended on a yearly basis. However, I have recently been informed that my contract will terminate in September 2024, as per the decision of the management.

I joined the company in 2011, and in 2016, the company started recruiting employees on a tenure basis. These employees receive permanent employee salaries, allowances, and promotions. I have not received such benefits despite my long-standing service with the company.

I seek your advice on whether there is any legal recourse available to me for regularization or for receiving salaries and allowances equivalent to tenure employees. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with your expert opinion on this matter.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your advice.

In one of his latest videos on the INC YouTube page, Rahul Gandhi shared some tips he adopted this election season from chess. Much of what he discussed can be incorporated into our daily or professional lives. Be sure to watch this - https://youtu.be/cVZoIU4kGZs?si=ag-hvBoqz50xtDNU

If the prevailing public sentiment, as observed by Shashi Tharoor, is anything to go by and is to be believed, this election will swing in favour of the INDIA Alliance - https://youtu.be/0cc6E8TYOm0?si=wACExMj7hBLi4H5l

Lets discuss all this.

This whole case from start to finish has made very little sense, which is on par for what you'd expect from the Gujarat High Court. The High Court took suo moto cognizance of an Instagram post? Seriously? No names, no details, no evidence, no FIR.

The inquiry committee report is embarrassing for the HC - the bench should have apologized to the university and the chancellor for making a mountain out of a molehill and making it harder for genuine victims to come forward with claims in the future.

I am a banking lawyer who has worked as General Counsel/ Head of Legal with Indian and MNC Bank for long. Now nearing 60, i may be retired by my current bank in the near future.

Wondering what avenues/ opportunities are open for me and worth exploring.

Favour with your candid views and suggestions from various perspectives.

Not clear if Galgotia law school students were also involved, but this surely merits a BCI inquiry? 😡
