Please stop using AI. And lawyers don't have to prove anything forensically, they have forensic experts for that. Get yourself some real work experience. Then you'll understand that simply because a corporate lawyer may have to work with company financials, he doesn't have to become a CA.

Man, please calm down with your NFSU propaganda. You've already polluted r/NLUs with it. Writing a reply to your own post is exceptionally pathetic. If the institution is so good, then stop trying to defend it. Good institutes don't need this much advertising from a single guy. At this point, I feel NFSU should pay you for being their mouthpiece. There's an NFSU near my NLU, and believe me, no one even talks or thinks about it. Many don't even know it exists. Please, for the love of God, stop this.

Mods, I request you to vet NFSU posts properly. This guy isn't doing it for the first time on LI. Go to r/NLUs, search "NFSU," and you'll find him doing the same there.

This is a great step towards transforming law into a science.

Here's an article from Harvard Law School on the same topic.
https://hls.harvard.edu/today/transforming-law-into-a-science/

It seems the NLUs are way behind in their thinking and approach, still so skewed towards humanities.

Please stop NFSU boasting. Firstly name itself is too narrow in scope. Forensic university looks like petroleum university. Secondly all forensic jobs in India done by CFSL and State Forensic Laboratories. No NFSU graduate getting jobs there. Any science graduate from any university can join central or state forensic science laboratory passing a competitive exam. I fail to understand why Govt spending so much in this field of very limited use. Forensic science is not like computer science or medicine impacting wider section of society. It’s a very small field limited to police investigation. If you see its use in legal field, it has no role on constitutional law, international law, human rights, corporate law, ADR, etc. Limited use in criminal law field. So one paper out of 30 papers in LLB is forensic science. That’s it. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.

So I am from Tier 3 college with very little placement support. Graduated 2 years. Could not convert any assessement internships into a full time role. Seeing my friends getting into top law firms and constant panic from my family I had to join a consulting firm through reference. Little did I know it had nothing to do with law and I was surrounded by CAs and MBA folks. I though maybe if I go to a B-School I can get into top tier consulting. But of course got a reality check when I gave all MBA entrance exams even after preparing for an year.

Now its been almost 1.6 years working in this company. I am not interested in their work. I really want to get back into law now specially in M&A, Gen Corp practice (now that I have a decent knowldge of finance and functioning of a company). So is it even remotely possible to go back in law?

Do people really care about stipends while interning? The stipends offered by law firms are in no way comparable to what is being paid by the tech and consultancy firms. Whether they should is a different conversation. Whatever is offered is not enough to meet your internship expenses, assuming that you've moved to a different city for your internship. Sure you might feel a little valued (as you should) but the most important reason is to secure a job for yourself. Why do people bother so much about the stipend?

what’s left the faculty board is unresponsive, they have been blaming the student board for its own faults. The issue has been brought up multiple times but they only respond when they start getting bad “PR” or otherwise its radio silence. P.S - most of the faculty board is leaving thats why they dont care even if they leave the board in shambles.

BJP and the new govt remain mum on the expose by Abhijit Ganguly. Hopefully the new DB of Cal HC which will hear the RGK matter will do something useful.

The new govt tasked the DMs to start salary recoveries from teaching and non teaching staff who were identified by the SSC and CBI as having got appointments via illegal means. But what's the progress and why isn't the govt ensuring that SSC etc publish the names with relevant details. The recoveries if done right will be substantial. And why aren't these 5000 or so individuals being pursued to name those who took cash for jobs?

If the Centre can pull in paramilitary forces from all over the country for security during and after elections, why can't they bring in additional officers including retd officials for surge support?

I can't find the articles on the web rt now. But I can distinctly recall that The Telegraph (Aveek Sarkar was yet to be ousted) did an entire series and came under heavy TMC and govt fire. It involved an elderly couple in Garia with a large land holding that bordered Adi Ganga or one of its canals. They had a small single or double storied building but kept the rest of the land open for gardening, play area etc. The couple were likely child free and did not disallow local children or others from accessing the free space whenever reqd. But they had access control and no adverse possession had taken place for decades. Likely the couple spent years travelling abroad etc for work but would keep returning home. They had already retired when the TMC took over.

Under the camouflage of access given to locals, a local club fronted TMC egress who built permanent structures including gym and various other facilities. When the old couple protested, threats followed including forceful takeover and eventual eviction from their own house. The couple then took refuge with a relative in Park Street. Eventually then won reprieve from the Cal HC because local police did zilch.

The club with tacit TMC support even contended that the old couple had given them access for their own protection and the takeover was in public interest since the old couple had no children nor could they properly exploit the property to full potential.

The HC ordered Surajit K Purkayastha IPS who was likely the CP then or something senior (later the first state security advisor to Unkind) that he must personally restore the full property to the old couple and demolish all unauthorised structures. But that remained unfulfilled citing local law and order problem including threat of suicide by local men and women who later got unmasked as local Unkind goons.

Two prominent ministers, Partha Chatterjee and Arup Biswas were the ringmasters and used their ministerial position to abuse govt finances to forcefully acquire the land using central funds under Ganga Action Plan. The then KMC mayor (likely the now discarded Sovan Chatterjee) enthusiastically got involved as well. Invoking special powers that property was "acquired" for a measly amount that was declined by the old couple.

This was spun by the wretched Unkind that the old couple did all the drama for money. Except it was later revealed that the old couple had previously desired to donate the land during Red admin if that helped the cause of Adi Ganga rejuvenation. That standing offer had remained with Unkind govt as well.

The Cal HC was exasperated. But judiciary has its share of ahem too. So a certain judicial restraint crept in when the state govt through its venerable AG (not the usual suspect KD) made its intent abundantly clear. The case was allowed to meander in the judicial jungles. Surajit kept getting promotions. And the old couple stayed away knowing that they wouldn't survive the local goons.

I don't know what happened eventually. But the state did acquire the land but it was not used for the pumping project. Maybe it came up eons later. But the gym and club remained.

Why isn't anyone looking into this? After all now we get to hear wonderful details if how Unkind acquired multiple lucrative plots, organised loot via police, KMC and worthies like Sona Pappu. Why is saffron so quiet about shady deals by Merlin Group and other real estate majors of Kolkata? What about the illegal Wow Momo factory fire? Are we getting warm?

Why just the Cal HC judgment ordering use of central forces to clear all and every encroachment from East Kolkata wetlands? There have been so many orders from the HC and even SC that remained mothballed or sidetracked by the Unkind govt. Both the new govt and BJP in Bengal have access to enough lawyers to distill the court directions for rapid implementation by the state admin. What explains the slow and scripted uptake now?

Please don't feel down because of some comments made by a stuck up judge. Always remember that you built your own practice through grit and hard work. It is people like you who sustain all that is good in the Bar and pass it onto the new generation of lawyers (while hopefully paying them more than a pittance). Elitist comments like these are not the worth the time of day and should be rightfully treated with contempt and disgust.

I got to know it is the only university offering 5yr integrated law in maritime domain and currently has India's top notch faculties for maritime law

I wanted to know how is their BBA LLB program as some of their students got internships in T1 firms (It will be there 4th batch) and considering it is under ministry of Home affairs and it is located near GIFT city

Their curriculum is also good ( from what they have mentioned on their website)

I need guidance whether it is good option or not considering it's INI status and amount of international exposure they are providing to their students

Heard they are the only university in india offering 5 year integrated law in maritime domain and have one of the best faculties for maritime law

Also some students got internship in T1 firms in their BBA LLB program

Could someone please guide me how is it and what can we expect from this university as it is under ministry of Home affairs and their curriculum looks good too students studying have no complaints against this university. Location is also near GIFT city

Please don't spread any hatred I am not comparing it with any NLU

Actually I never been in any debates or any such competitions throughout, I feel my nlu would have naturally good speaker who could articulate better than me not that I can speak or have public fear just comparatively. Can i become a good speaker for moot court honestly at this stage and if I can then how can I proceed to learn and practice that, another reason is I am scared as hell what if I mess up or do a blunder?

Most trolled team is RCB a CSK fan wiped his a….with RCB flag just yesterday a PBSK fan tore the RCB flag in stadium and wiped his shoes i can go on . RCB has faced a lot of insults through the years and RCB fans are toxic this is really strange if being loyal passionate is toxic then definitely RCB fans are toxic

How many times has this been reiterated in this forum ?!? LLM IS ONLY FOR RESEARCH AND ACADEMIA!!! IT'S NOT FOR PLACEMENT !!

Do an LLM , and subsequently a PhD ONLY if you want to be a professor or researcher !

A basic LLB is more than enough to practice anywhere. Instead work on increasing your work experience. If you need to move forward, maybe a MBA will help. But DO NOT DO AN LLM !

It’s amazing how the likes of Uday give such gyaan. Not that anything affects him or his lifestyle or networth or network.

And if so keen to practice what he preaches for starters why hasn’t he made WFH for the entire Kotak Mahindra Group employees given now the PM also has called for austerity!

Any insights anyone has on this case, given it’s making national headlines !

Much better (but admittedly unprintable) headline: "Bar Council of India Bans 9 scam schools from Admissions for 2026—27 Session Due to Deficiencies they've uncovered after generations of sitting on their backsides and doing precisely fuck all". Much more accurately reflects the true picture. That's it. No further comment. Next story.

Hey you guys, I'm at a tier-2 NLU; would be in second year this impending session. I feel like I've developed an inclination towards b&f area. I never mooted till now , since it does not interest me at all. I've had 2 blog posts, & currently am working on a publication - all on b&f area.

I wanted to know how do I develop my profile to suit for this practice area & apply for internships.

I want to work at commercial banks from the very start.

Please help by suggesting measures.

Thanx

Hi! I'm at Cuttack rightnow. My hometown is Kolkata.Please suggest firms & in-house roles, where I can apply for internships in Kolkata other than Argus, Aquilaw, & Khaitan?

Does LKS-Kolkata internship have same value as Mumbai or Delhi? It's totally about indirect taxes, na?

Besides, I feel like even if I applied at top firms at Mum., Delhi, etc., it's really not feasible for me to attend those internships offsite due to expenses.

I'm really in a sad condition in that regard now.

So, please help me with the question.

Thanks!!!

The world where "everyone speaks with each other in English", if you see, is the world where people have financially lucrative opportunities. You can get on your working class high horse as much (and more) as you like, but that doesn't change the facts. Barring litigation work in state courts (which the OP may have forgotten to consider and which anyways also pays nothing to those who aren't from privileged backgrounds already), knowledge of these Indian languages has very little (if any) purchase for anybody who wants employment and wants to be socially mobile.

Even in the much praised (only on LI) government sector, this working class high horse goes only so far. Nobody is going to check, for example if you are an agent controller in India's spy service, the RAW, who runs a hypothetical Chinese double agent whom the RAW officer has an arrangement to meet in Geneva from time to time, if that agent controller can speak Tamil or Kannada. What will matter is that the RAW officer can speak the languages that matter to make sure she doesn't stick out in Switzerland, and can interact with that Chinese agent. In my book, the essential languages for such a project would be English and Manderin, the desirable ones would be French or German (because of Switzerland in the hypothetical). Ideally of course, my guy would be able to speak the essential languages and one desired language (though many other criteria would matter). If I saw Tamil, kannada or Hindi in addition to the essential languages I'd dismiss as "superfluous and unhelpful". If I saw them instead of the essentials, that person isn't suitable for my needs. Simples. That's how I'd think if I did that kind of work, which I don't, but you can't argue that there is common sense in it.

In that way, I could question whether you ever were admitted to study law. You can't even respond to an argument, or your post wouldn't have dirty great redaction marks on it. Play the ball for once, not the man, why don't you? Also, as we are talking in these terms: how many ▮▮▮?

The last JGLS batch with any academic rigour was the GB of 2023. GB of 2024 literally joined one semester before pandemic happened and along with GB of 2025 and GB of 2026 remains among the worst academically performing batches of JGLS. It is rather DJ who has restored academic rigour by creating strict policies for faculty and students, and reducing grade inflation by strict compliance of highest attainable grade awards.

This is incorrect. As per the BCI Circular in October 2020, after the lockdown was lifted, all centres of legal education (i.e., law schools) were to restore all examinations in a physical format only. The BCI requires that there is an in person written examination with invigilations, even if the same is not explicitly mentioned in the BCI rules. Look at what happened to Ambani University in Gujarat.

Nope, this is a thorough and deliberate lie. In reality, the directive has come from the VC who enforced it through an Academic Council meeting and the CoE, KL has been tasked to enforce it across the university (except for Disability Support registered students). DJ and KL themselves think that the remote exams lower the integrity and quality of exams and have conveyed so time and again to the JGLS Student Council, JGLS Student Academic Council and the Moot Court Society. Even the JGBS Dean has told their Student Council that he acknowledges the integrity and plagiarism concerns.

True, as someone who has worked closely with her as a client, I can genuinely vouch for her. She consistently goes beyond just delivering her work and makes a sincere effort to build and maintain strong personal relationships with her clients, always looking after their overall well-being and ensuring they feel genuinely valued.

Busts the myth that educated and elite families don’t so such things. Especially shameful that it’s a legal family.

Hey,

Has SAM started rolling out offers for the batch of 2027? Have the interviews been completed? How were the interviews? Which partners took the interview? Has there been any intimation regarding when HR will get back to candidates? Has any team given out a straight PPO?

Graduated law school (GLC Mumbai) during Covid. ended up finding a job in the global compliance team at a Big 4, and now switched to an inhouse compliance - ethics and integrity team. i have over 4 years of experience but now i’m feeling stuck. the work i’m doing currently is monotonous and dealing with an incompetent manager with questionable work ethics is quite exhausting. i am looking for advice/guidance on what could be possible next steps for me to take as compliance from a long term professional perspective is not something that i want to do?

Guyss I am graduated BO26, want to start my journey through law firms, I was wondering how does the hiring system works??? because what I have heard is that law firm partners hire people either through PPO, internships, laterals, or referrals. I wanted to know if I apply to individual law firms formally through the HR, how will this work, because as far as I know these people already keep upcoming associates in line through PPO's and internships which makes it very unlikely to get hired simply by applying. And even if they read my CV, how will they know to put me whose team??? (ik except it is for urgent hiring, but that's very uncertain). So do you think this application process works in firms??? PLEASE HELP I AM AT MY WIT'S END.

Hey, AFL (All For Law) is an organisation that actually stands true to their name! They really are out here opening the legal industry for All! They have really innovative approaches especially considering they teach virtually, you never feel like its a chore to learn. They have excellent and compassionate resource persons and a very thoughtful team, they genuinely remember you and your needs and curate things for you accordingly!

Brother. I left law at 22, came back at 28, left again at 32, came back at 40 (academia). So you're still too young to worry. If you need to, leave and try something else. If you fail or get bored with the new work try something new. Law is always here to stay, if not litigation then Academia or research. Why stress ? Indians have a risk averse mentality, we are scared to move away from something that doesn't work just because of a sunken cost fallacy. Look abroad, people change careers every 5-6 years, like complete change. So don't sweat it. YOLO.
