Not being dense here. Just being direct. If you really think you're underpaid, just move where you think you are paid as per your worth, don't crib. You think Singapore and Hong Kong firms pay more, go ahead and get in there. And rule of 3 works on a team level and includes a lot of other costs, including partner costs, in the base cost. Doesn't work in the simplistic manner you think it works. And definitely, the point about opening your own shop remains open. Go ahead, do it. Pay what you think everyone deserves or give a response to that, instead of whataboutery.

Did you bring the client? Will the client pay you 2 crores for the assignment. Do you pay any part of the rent, electricity bills, office supplies, etc. ? You kids really need to grow up. If you are so competent start your own office- your own start up. If not then…keep working and stop complaining

> There's a pretty simple response for that. Open your shop and take 100%. Also give 100% to entire team. I'm sure you'll never have shortage of team and consequently clients if you adopt this structure.

There is no need to be dense. Global law firms follow rule of thirds in competitive markets. From the billing, one-third for lawyer's compensation, one-third for overhead expenses, and one-third for firm profit.

Indian lala firms do 1/4 or 1/10 or 1/20 or whatever. Consequently, Indian firm lawyers are seriously underpaid as a percentage of revenue generated compared to their counterparts in say Singapore or Hong Kong. Singapore and Hong Kong don't restrict foreign law firms now, do they?

Guys, as someone from India but an outsider to the Indian legal system (not having studied law there): seriously, you can be better than this. Do you not have any work in life? You are supposed to be part of the intellectual elite of the country. Asking if "NLU grads" are competing in the upcoming elections should be as silly for you as British uni kids asking "Are there Oxbridge grads contesting the upcoming UK local elections?" or "Are there Harvard/Yale/UPen/Stanford grads contesting the U.S. midterms in any of the 50 states?". The answer to that should not matter! Your uni names are high profile enough for it not to matter! Calling yourselves the Harvards/Yales of India but behaving like desperate no-name community college kids ain't the way to behave like the officer class of the legal system. You gotta fake it till you make it: if you don't feel like you are an intellectual elite personally, then pretend to be one, and if you have the capacity to be one (i.e., you actually have brains), you'll eventually be one (and be seen as one). And if you are from those unknown colleges, then this is sure as hell undignified also. You are slipping into the victimhood mentality that is the curse of the world. In either case, you are just behaving foolishly enough to be laughed at.

Moderators, I feel sorry for you and am surprised at you. I am sorry that you have to endure tripe like this. At the same time, you are supposed to be following your publication guidelines. Those state that content being published should provoke thoughtful discussion. That implies a degree of selectivity. Either change the guidelines to reflect that even nonsense like this falls within your ambit, or actually follow the guidelines. You, I and all who read this site know what the purpose behind such a post is, and what it devolves into. Albert Campion so beautifully says when asked about his capability to "talk bilge" even in the most serious and pressurised of situations that he "learned to talk the language by reading advertisements". Margery Allingham, who wrote the Campion books and is therefore the creator of the self-styled "Uncle Albert", would have surely written "advertisements (and Legally India)" had she lived to learn of this website and what it has become. Sorry for the repeated references to "golden age of detective fiction" novels (have been a huge fan since I was a kid), but those of you who waste your time posting such things are what Mr Gaunt, one of the primary characters in Ngaio Marsh's Roderick Alleyn novel Colour Scheme, would describe as "an insufferable bore". Is that really what you want your legacy to be?

Awesome development!!

Being one of the Big 4, it shows that EY is seeing more than enough demand from its client organizations for such services to warrant an entire centre with such an expansion plan. This means that there are opportunities for in-house roles in these client organizations as well.

While EY is a first mover, others in the Big 4 league will scale up quickly.

Seemingly very little about the firm's work on the Internet, the partners seem successful and able to retain the clients they left phoenix legal with. Able to compete with Tuli in terms of insurance and reinsurance apparantly.

I am interning there in June, my second corporate (?) internship, would really appreciate any information about the firm.

Hi, read thoroughly the basics of Companies Act and contracts act such as Private Placement, Preferential allotment, rights issues, difference between private and public company, difference between reps and warranties, difference between indemnity and damages, etc.

Also be sure about everything that you have written on your CV, the questions are based on whatever you have written on your CV and the follow up questions would also be based on your answers to those questions.

Read the latest contemporary updates too such as amendments to the dematerialisation of shares, the new definition of small companies, the new ECB norms etc.

All these will help you with your interviews at any GC teams.

Just see this link. Her husband, NUJS-Cambridge alum and Congress leader Muhammad Khan, has threatened to file a criminal case against people targeting her. But leave aside the trolling. The that matter will buckle under pressure and either sack her or sideline her. If Mark Zuckerberg can bow down to Trump, he can bow down to anyone.

Lol this was me in first year, and my only advice to you would be - it's THAT easy because it's supposed to be. You're in first year, the toughest law subject you have is probably contracts or family law. On mooting, again, not to humble you, but mooting at a national level is incredibly easy (almost ridiculous how easy it is) so long as you come from a creme de le creme background of having had english medium education throughout school life, having cleared CLAT in one attempt, with no serious coaching and stress, generally been the good student type to score well with minimal effort. It's easy because it's supposed to level the playing field for the diverse set of people that come to study in such government institutions - a major reason why it seems so easy to you is because you're probably lot more privileged than most in your university.

Also, not to guess which NLU you're from, but if it's one of the T-1s with heavy reservations - that explains why the crowd might not be too ambitious. And this is not coming from a place of elitism - and I hope it doesn't put an elitist thought in your already borderline-superiority-complex-suffering head. I say this from personal experience of being at a T-2 NLU and missing T-1s by a hair, most of my peers that come through a domicile quota had law as their literal last career option - and are only pursuing it because CLAT was a piece of cake with reservation.

I think I've addressed all 3 concerns that you flagged - academics, mooting, and peer group. I was in the same position that you were in back in first year, and I'm in my final year now - I spent my years in a law school that I initially deemed to be too "easy" for me chasing challenges - you find ADRs too easy? Go for a proper moot, one of the big 3 - jessup, elsa, vis. You find your crowd too unambitious, go for paper presentations, meet people that challenge you intellectual - the sky is your limit, literally nothing is stopping you from seeking out experiences that make your time at law school worthwhile.

Brother if you had the ability to understand, comprehend or decipher intellectually stimulating concepts such as quantum physics, dark matter, black holes, galactic formations, interstellar travel, etc. would you be f-ing around at some law college? Law by itself is a rather procedure heavy endeavour, hence academics who spend their entire lives in classrooms "researching", are often unable to hack it in the profession. So get off your narcissistic high horse, stop being miserable, and enjoy life.

I am going to say this once and only once more because of the number of times I have said it; I am going to say it very slowly, and very quietly. Please read, understand and digest.

Your use of the word "publication" (or "publications") is wrong, and if taken as correct, makes a total nonsense of the word. This is not your fault: indeed, you have abided by the nonsensical understanding of "publication" that has taken hold in India's appalling excuse for a legal education environment. In a country with a true understanding of academia, "publication" means only one thing: a journal article published in a journal which takes you through a process of anonymous, double-blind peer review. Nothing else is a publication, in the truest, most beautiful sense of the term. Yes, the word "publication" can be stretched to cover articles in some student-run law journals, but only in those and in no others. The exceptional journals of this kind are: Harvard Law Review, NYU Law Review, Yale Law Journal, University of Chicago Law Review and Columbia Law Review. (This is coming from someone who hasn't taken a degree at any of the universities whose names are associated with the mentioned journals.) Thus, no blog posts, no "NLU journals"... none of these are "publications", and describing them on your CV as such, while taken as correct in India, is not correct at all.

Therefore, unless Indian law firms are expecting you to have articles published in journals like Law and Philosophy, Public Law, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, Cambridge Law Journal, the Law Quarterly Review, Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence, etc, you have not much to worry about. And if they do expect, that's unreasonable, unrealistic and silly: the next H.L.A. Hart or J. Raz ain't never joining a law firm. Hope this helps.

How will the new VC do anything about it? If students don't do basic homework, readings, or put effort, how is it anyone else's fault? They have way more resources at their command than most of their predecessors used to have. It is up to them to use that. If they can't, then they only have themselves to blame.

Using your example of religion - the state has a duty to treat all religions equally. so if it recognises Hinduism it must also recognise Christianity and so on. All are entitled to equal protection from the state. Similarly with gender, if the state provides ID cards with male and female, they cannot deny the same recognition to people of third gender. Basically people can believe whatever they want, but the state through law cannot uphold only one belief at the cost of others.
