Recently interned first time in a law firm and seeing lots of fat people at all level and there bloated belly the dent they left behind in chair while grabbing another junk food to eat .

I had expirence of weight loss while I was in class 11th and 12th it was 30 kg in 9 months .My weight fell form 100kg to 70kg after my crush called me football

so my advice is :

A) do anything that force your heart to beat faster like walking using stair or swimming pool . If possible get a treadmill

B) I know you guys dosent have the time to do physical activity but atleast control your dam diet .On average human body burn 1700 calories just to maintain itself eating less will create a deficit.

C) Buy a weighting machine and install any weight tracking app it . Track your weight in morning after you used bathroom. It will create a sense of achievement

D)Track your calories . Every bit form roti to pani puri to anything that have enegry

E) Try to create a deficit atleat of 650 calories per day.

F) if want to munch try to carrot or my personal choice bottle of soda with black paper it helped alot with constant munching habit I developed that time

G) Last and final important advice dont follow strict routine make it dynamic and simple .

H) Get a good watch. My personal favorite is Samsung watch 7 ,

At time of weight loss it was samsung watch 4

My personal advice on some days you will have to eat outside if happens fast the whole next day or try to burn it of by workout (walking, swimming, jogging)

You can ask me question.

Simple. If there is work and deadlines then stay back else go home. The legal profession is demanding. Clients are demanding. There is no room for softies. You whine, youre out. Thats the stark reality. Get used to it. You want the mega bucks, you gotta work.

Let the softies/ slackers start down voting this now.

Thoughts on the new Registrar appointment? Ruhi Paul has been abruptly shafted from office, while also being well below the age of retirement. Will she continue at the University? or is there too much ill will and bad faith between her and the current administration. Will Prof Garg - with his great corporate contacts and connections - improve the placement stats of the university to even greater heights?

Hi, I am a 5th year about to graduate from a local college in Bangalore, and can get an internship at the TMT team at Trilegal through a contact (don't judge, I don't want to be unemployed).

Is this team still hiring for BO2026? My peers told me they hired late for previous batches typically, but hired very early for our batch? Any guidance would be appreciated

My suggestion might not suit your taste of you don't like teaching, but hear me out. Since you have an LLM from a foreign University, apply at Jindal. They immediately will take you in board. Whilst there for atleast a year or two, focus on building connections, researching and applying in data protection firms. The harsh truth is that India is way behind data protection as compare to the EU. There are definitely firms that work in this field but they will take another 5 years to mature. Also the Jindal job makes it easy for you to get time to research the job market here while not losing out on years. Nothing damages a CV in corporate like a gap year. So the best is to immediately get a job in Jindal based on your foreign degree and then apply based on market research. Atleast you would be earning enough and the teaching part will help you stay employed.

Hi everyone. I did my LLM in Law and Technology in the Netherlands. The main focus of my Master's was the GDPR and AI Act, so mainly the areas of privacy, data protection and AI governance. After graduating last year, I had a 1 year search year visa to find a job in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a job there because of a slow job market, AI, layoffs, the Dutch language requirement (which wasn't the case a few years ago), among other reasons. Ultimately, since my residence permit was about to expire, and I couldn't get a job or get sponsored for a highly skilled migrant visa (HSM) visa, I was forced to leave NL and return to India last month.

Although I haven't given up on my job search in Europe, I do need a job immediately. I've started applying in India, and I would prefer working in Mumbai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad. I'm looking for a job where my LLM will prove to be useful, which would be tech law or data protection. I'm looking at law firms with good TMT practice teams, although I would ideally prefer working in-house for either a big company or firm like one of the Big 4 (Deloitte, EY, etc.) or a tech start up dealing with the DPDPA.

Please let me know how I can start to build a career in data protection and what approach I should take in terms of building my CV, applying for roles, which law firms I can apply to for TMT, getting certified (e.g. CIPP) or making connections, especially if I have such a big work gap in my CV and I've been away from India for so long. For context, I have about 4+ PQE of experience. I've worked mostly in litigation and with NBFCs, and I've found it really hard to make the transition to corporate, compliance or tech law. I haven't had a proper full time job in over 3 years. I have no interest in returning to litigation.

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you. Have a nice day!

I am considering a move from Mumbai to a disputes/arbitration practice in Bangalore as a relatively new associate (A1). While I understand that tier 1 disputes teams is Bangalore (SAM, tri, Khaitan) may not handle mandates as large as those in Mumbai or Delhi, my key priorities are (i) strong mentorship (ii) substantial drafting exposure and (iii) competitive pay. Are there tier 1 disputes practices in Bangalore worth applying to that foster an environment with mentorship?

Also, I would like to build a portfolio of commercial litigation and arbitration portfolio, since it seems like no tier 1 firm even in Mumbai or Delhi specialises solely in arbitration. Does any Bangalore firm or practice align with this?

By reports are you referring to law reports published by courts such as the Indian Law Reports or the Supreme Court Reports? Well, they are published in-house by courts so you would need to apply to the relevant department of the court to see whether you can get in. If you are referring to private law reports such as SCC and other smaller reporters, then you would really need to apply for a job as an editor I believe. I could be wrong but I don't think they will allow you to work part time on something which is their bread and butter.

Regarding 'magazines', if you want to publish on forums such as The Leaflet, Bar and Bench, Live Law, bar association/council publications etc then you can just send whatever you have written to them and then they will take a call on whether to publish it or not. The same is true for law journals published by universities though the calibre of writing expected from writers by law journals is much higher as compared to other forums.

If I got an 8.5 studying the night before, why would I start studying beforehand? The papers don't test you on anything besides how well you have memorised a few buzzwords. If the papers were actually difficult, and I know they can be because I've seen some papers from other NLU's it would've been worthwhile to study more.

Thank you, this helps!

Vis a vis the crowd, it's not about ambition: they're just people with no life outside of law school. Even if you go on a trip with them, all they will talk about is the next exam coming up in college, how crazy xyz professor is, how xyz senior won abc moot, etc. They have no interests or personalities of their own. This is something that I've found to be specific to my NLU: this was not the case whatsoever at some of the other T1 NLUs I've seen. This is reflective in the societies, where the Moot Court and ADR societies are the only active ones. I have noticed that this is not the case in other NLU's with other places having a vibrant campus with events, theatre, musicals, etc.

Yes, that is true, I am quite privileged, even relative to the others in tier 1 NLU's. It is regardless saddening, to come to a university many praised (and warned me against joining) for it's academic rigor and being disappointing. Similarly the professors, at least in my college, are shit, and the centres are all dead.

Thank you so much for the sincere answer, this helped me a lot. Will go for more national/international level moots and ADRs, write papers for conferences, etc.

If you want to immigrate to any country abroad, anything is better than law. Law is absolutely the worst degree to go abroad. The only way is an LLM and subsequent PhD abroad, but that requires loads of MONEY ! My seniors did manage to get into law firms abroad through niche like taxation, maritime law or arbitration, but now even those positions are rare. So if you dream to go abroad better not to law. Or else do an MBA after law and then move out.

I am a 2025 law graduate of JGLS of BA LLB course. no networking, yes, despite being in the law school. Pretty grades. I am still not being able to get employed since July 2025. Its being more 10 months of unemployment after spending 40 lakhs for the law school. I have applied for more 500+ job vacancies as per linkedin, other law jobs websites and getting no replies at all since past 10 months.

Where did you get that nukes were proposed to be dropped? And speaking of rogue states, what is to be said of a country with a network of terrorist organizations (hezbollah, hamas, houthis, iraqi isis, etc etc), one which executes women for not wearing burkha/ showing hair, and run by radical islamists literally calling themselves "supreme leaders" and going medieval on their own citizens? There is a reason you or no one you know vouch to visit US, but will never set foot in Iran or any other rogue Islamic paradise. @moderators show some spine and publish this.

The SC’s decision on ADM Jabalpur means that this decision was technically legal. But leave that aside, overpopulation is one of India’s biggest problems and we do have supreme Court observations saying population control is desirable. Also, as I understand it, most of the men who underwent vasectomies during the Emergency already had children. The idea was to stop them breeding excessively and having tons of kids. True that most were Muslims and lower castes, but that wasn’t a conscious decision and linked purely to high birth rates in certain slums and villages. Both Indira and Sanjay Gandhi were secular people.

What nonsense. You need to speak to some social scientists- or just get out of the house more. What do you think trans identity even means? it doesn't automatically mean that you're treated like a street walking hijra. Trans identity for many younger people enhances their status. Demanding that other people refer to you with special language and that you be given special accommodations and treated as more fragile than others in the name of mental health is an advantage in many places. In progressive spaces like universities a trans identity can make you a sacred caste.

I know several law school girls who adopted non-binary pronouns etc and got aadhar cards and TG ID cards - they don't change anything about their presentation that would stigmatise them in real life. And they obviously wouldn't flaunt it when they're in actual trouble. When they're being arrested by police they specifically want female police officers to arrest them for some reason.

I also know several young men who are actual predators but put on nail paint and go by they pronouns. This makes them unquestionable in liberal spaces.

One former professor at big national law university actually advised me to identify as non binary as it would help me when it came to foreign phd applications. She herself also identified as non binary.

Laser body hair removal is not healthcare- women don't get it for free. trans women do through TP Act and SMILE. Elective plastic surgeries are also not covered for most women. but they are free for trans women. What is free when you go to AIIMS is basic labs, OPD, emergency services. Even medicines you likely have to show BPL card. and most of the stuff that is free is not free by magic- its free because the government pays for it using tax money- Ayushman Bharat and other schemes. And just like the government is morally right to know who its spending money on through Ayushman Bharat- it is morally right to know who it is spending money on through SMILE. and it has the prerogative to decide that money should go to groups that cannot afford care as against groups that can afford private care.

Don't think anyone is currently working on better investigation mandates than Sherbir Panag's team at Panag and Babu (now PBS) bar maybe Kunal Gupta. Routinely work with large firms like Davis & Polk, S&M, Skaden etc as Indian counsel and think they did the recent Info Edge WB report, IndusInd bank etc as well. HDFC was a big miss for them though and to think it went to Wadia Ghandy ▮▮▮

Don't join. I interned there a while back. The associates were nice, they weren't treated nicely. 3-4 months after my intership, around 5 ppl left.

Pay is extremely low and the founding partner has a nasty attitude. As a new joinee, you are just supposed to learn the work all on your own.

Also they don't have a lot of work- some disputes work and real estate due diligence. Don't know if that has changed.

No Stipend, They technically have three teams (very small tho) Disputes, Banking and Corporate. When i interned they had adequate work for me, if you have to visit courts/offices they reimburse you.

Some of my colleagues who interned after me did not have much work given to them, so depends on your luck.

His relevance in Delhi is under stress. Antics of son earlier cost him leverage. Lost elections earlier in Bengal but claimed that it was a rural seat. Cut out only for urbane. And last time he lost RS seat thanks to a hawk eyed Mahua. VB knows better although he is very cross that he isn't the NLS that got RS first.

Hi, I am from 2027 batch and will be interning at Khaitan & Co. in their General Corporate Team in July. I wanted to get an idea which office I should choose? I have been allotted NOIDA as I heard the Corporate Teams sits there but have been reading random threads that say Noida office does not hire? I am looking for prospects of Call Back and PPO. Please if anyone can genuinely give an advise on this, it will be of great help!
