I have been struggling with work since start. I'm not able to complete the task in given time. I make small mistakes which even I feel embarassed of when senior points out. I can't really remember clause wise details, Even after reading the agreement. It's like seeing the whole thing again. I am tired of getting my work discarded because it's not upto the mark. I was told to leave by my partner in previous firm after which I applied at my current place and landed a well paying job. I'm good enough for interviews and leaving good first impression. It's the same circle again within 2 months of joining, except I am getting shouted at and humiliated here. I don't feel happy to work in general anywhere. I feel I'm not made for this and I should quit altogether law.
The problem is I don't have a backup. I come from lower middle class family. As of now I earn more than my father do. But this will not sustain, I will be either removed or my mental health will deteriorate so much that I call quit. I don't know what to do.
One option I see is going in-house in a bank/nbfc. I feel it would be manageable but I have never interned or spoke with someone who works in-house, so idk. I am also worried about career trajectory. Since I don't have any wealth, will I be able to earn enough to afford a house, car and good life in general. I'm worried about my future. What if I suck at in-house too? Am I good at anything? I don't know what can I do. I have already spent 6 years studying and working in law and don't have comfort to learn and earn anything afresh. Can anybody who have been at my cross-road please guide me since I can't worry my family with this and friends won't have any answer.

I have seen vacancies being posted directly by Khaitan, JSA, and 3Legal on their websites and LinkedIn. I have also seen Argus posting vacancies on LinkedIn.
However, while searching for similar openings, I wasn’t able to find much for CAM, SAM, Saraf, TTA, Touchstone, CMS IndusLaw, S&R Associates, and others.
If anyone working at the above-mentioned law firms could share some insights on how to track vacancies, it would be really helpful. This question came up because I’ve heard people mention that some firms, such as CAM and SAM, have internal portals where vacancies are posted and which are accessible only to employees.
This might just be a rumour, but genuine answers from people working at these firms would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, the suicides WILL stop if those 10 marks are the difference between pass and fail. If you just give SC/ST/OBC students the bare required pass mark instead of failing, that will make a huge difference. It will make them eligible for government jobs that have reservation, give them the stamp of an IIT grad etc. In doing so, given them pride and their whole community pride. It won't give them jobs with Tesla in Palo Alto, but that is not what they want and they are not competing with the GC toppers. Just make them pass, that's all.
On December 16, 2024, the High Court partly allowed the plea, holding that NLSIU's existing admission and financial aid policies did not adequately ensure equality of opportunity for transgender persons. The Court had then directed NLSIU to formulate a transgender reservation and financial aid policy before commencement of the next academic year's admission process. In the interim, NLSIU was directed to provide 0.5% reservation along with fee waiver for transgender candidates.
NLSIU subsequently challenged the order in appeal.

Work is dry across firms. There are two law firms undercutting, make situation even worse.
Firms aren’t looking to hire freshers.
Exit opportunities are close to nil so those who enter, get stuck.
Because of this you end up at the mercy of 5-6 firms, and one of “them” disliking you is all it takes for your career to get derailed.
Not to forget, the chances of you joining the fraternity today and becoming a partner are near to impossible.
So yeah, when someone tells not to join this practice area, believe them.
Additionally, do you think your job equips you to apply in other jurisdictions? Are you required to do CIPP certifications as well?
During the course of education, there is a possibility to study subjects concerning corporate law, labour law, environmental law, and intellectual property rights. Such subjects help students understand how the legal norms are used in different situations. Legal analysis and case studies can develop analytical and communicative skills. The appropriate academic atmosphere may contribute to professional development of a student. Prospective candidates interested in legal education can get acquainted with V.M.N Institute.
Of course you're "happy". You forget we were there too. You need to be "happy".
Btw we are well over ourselves - we grinded our way out and found our way out. I wish you all the happiness together.
this is what happens when there is no meaningful election
if you had you would know that LLM does not matter unless you are related to the owner
There is very less consolidated material on law of remedies in India, while similar academic material can be found in other comparable jurisdictions.
There are some law colleges which have formulated courses on this. It would be great if you could the course outlines, materials, etc.
Alternatively, it would be great if people who have read on this subject could list things to cover and guidance on how to start.

Interesting how the article was not noticed much on 11-May-2025, but is picking up steam now, in Sep'2026. It was tweeted proudly by JNU back in 2025:

If you really want to abuse the hires, at least take the intellectual effort to do it properly: ask why NLS is needing to dig into this pool. Why aren't they able to find PhD graduates only? People who'd have graduated LLB at least five years ago? Give them a good supply of PhD graduates - and not from the so-called "PhD programmes" of the overwhelming majority of Indian unis, whose certificates (considering the quality of their graduates) are worth one third the price of a toilet roll from a Sainsbury's store in the UK - but actual, genuinely talented folks, with writing samples of PhD thesis chapter length ready, PhD vivas hopefully complete, at least one good publication, teaching experience while a PhD student, with book contracts from Hart Publishing, OUP, CUP etc. Tell NLS where this bunch of talented graduates with such achievements to their name can be found, and I think they would really find that helpful.
You know what? You really can't. That's why NLS needs not to recruit the best of the best faculty, but the best from a bad lot.
Need some inputs regarding internship at Zypp Electric (in-house team) and whether was it actually worth it?
Also, what is the pay scale in the Company? especially for A0.
Regarding parents complaint, consider the possibility that the caste harassment may have occurred before this exam as well - so examination was only the immediate trigger.
