Is it? I don't know- 16-18 hours look quite nice compared to any other job. Every uni has its own admin and other institutional work as well- that is something everyone has to do. Many universities mandate attendance every day, NLS doesn't for the faculty.

Then NLS has AAD that does a lot of heavy lifting- someone who went to a uni without such department told how much extra they had to give because no auch dept was present at their place.

His supporters say:

- He was targeted by racists because he is black

- He is genuinely a brilliant scholar

- The allegations of language copying and falsification of research data are exaggerated

- The allegation that he lied about his life when he said he ran 30 marathons in 30 days with a broken leg, and various other claims, are not relevant: only issues related to his academic work are relevant

- Again, the allegation that he targeted a journalist investigating him through the police and a law firm are outside the ambit of academia and not relevant

- Due regard should be given to the fact that he has autism

His opponents say:

- He should not have been made a professor at 37. Merit was ignored at the expense of DEI

- Non-black academics with better research records and publications were ignored

- His research has no rigour and is full of woke buzzwords

- The plagiarism charges are serious.

- The statements made by him about running marathons are proven lies which should be taken seriously because a professor should behave ethically

- involving the police against the journalist was harassment

Should one now, laugh/cry to this great learned, wise & intellectual, legend of an anecdote.

Speaking on her exit, CAM Managing Partner Cyril Shroff said,

“She has spent most of her career with the firm. Given her seniority, she wants to explore the natural progression of being an independent arbitration practitioner and arbitrator. We are very supportive of her decision and see it as a logical step as an arbitration practitioner. We wish her all success.“

I am Bo'27 and was recently placed at CAM via the Day 0 process at my T1 NLU.

I wanted to know when will CAM send out official email confirmations from their end or offer letters?

Also do we have to do a mandatory internship or will we be directly posted as an A0?

Any insights shall be appreciated!

Yeah, right. Your knowledge of political theory and philosophy is pretty out of sorts - an odd gap for somebody who read law at university, wouldn't you say? No doubt you found a shortcut to hack your law degree and graduate successfully.

But also, your knowledge of history is equally poor, which is quite surprising. Look at Russia in the immediate post-Soviet years - before the advent of Vladimir Putin. They operated on the model you described. See how it went. Russia wouldn't be fucked up like it is now if it weren't for that kind of thing.

Child, as a partner at a tier 1 with a privacy practice, I'd advise you to not consider a career at Big4 or in-house at all. In-house you're the worst sort of cost center you could be. At Big4 your being a lawyer doesn't matter coz your employer can't formally provide legal advice and that matters.

Id also caution you that privacy is just the flavour of the season, like insolvency was all the rage in 2016. Even at peak flavour season, you can't make a decent target on Tech/Privacy in a law firm and will have to do some GC/M&A/FSRP. Try to do the things that traditionally pay the most, being GC/PE/M&A. Or do something that's not as high paying but perpetually on and in demand like debt, or funds.

If one wants to have live in Kolkata which firms will provide that stability

Khaitan, argus or aquilaw

Will aquilaw still be as relevant as it was under TMC regime , like if one wants to make name.

They have some connections in Calcutta HC as well

Pay wise as well ,

I get what u are trying to say but it's really not small legal circle anymore.

From my personal experience almost everyone knows about "Bangalore law school" "Hyderabad law school" "Kolkata law school" and "Dwarka law school" in Delhi High court and supreme court

They can hire you. It is not impossible at all. Just keep working somewhere or the other consistently. Make sure your practice area is not not TOO VARIED. Like for litigation - stick to litigation while you may experiment with regulatory, trial or appellate litigation. Write some solid articles. Many tier-1's also hire research associates so that also you can apply for. Keep practicing in chambers, join a senior advocate or some other boutique law firms with good mandates. You can work with ex-tier 1 partners who open their own firms (there are MANY). They have good work. Then you can switch. But why do you even want to. PhD is a far better route. Tier-1's are soul sucking hellholes. It's law, it's everywhere! Do not lost hope! all the best

It is without doubt the absolute best financial services regulatory practices not just in the firm but in the industry. The partner has the deepest knowledge of regulatory positions, so much so that he knows things that even the regulator may not know. The lore on 4th floor is that when RBI officials require clarity on some point, they call him. Even senior partners in the firm and other firms check in with him when they are stymied on a point of law. He is also one of the best mentors you could find, and is extremely participative, often asking A0s what the firm should advise the client. Work life balance in this team is also excellent, with team members not being able to recollect the last time they were required to work outside of office hours. Overall the best team to work with, but only if they select you. They are known to be very selective, going by the very lean team numbers.

The only con is that this team, much like the larger team it's part of, has clients who are 'sharks' and you won't possibly cut it in the team if you're not a trailblazer and a 'shark' like the EP this team reports to. So ya, non-sharks please excuse. Only tier A intellects with superb communication skills can survive in this team.

"We are on Day 8 of our indefinite hunger strike at Umang Bhawan because the administration refuses to hear our legitimate demands. Before, DU provided supplementary exams for 1st to 4th semester backlogs, but discontinuing this provision forces graduating students into an arbitrary 1-year career gap. We are losing crucial time for Bar Council enrollment, AIBE, and higher studies. We will continue our strike until an official notification for a special supplementary exam is issued."

A Bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Sheel Nagu brushed off Moitra's concerns that eggs may be pelted on her in case she goes to the police station.

*"You are a member of parliament? Having taken the plunge into politics, you fear eggs? When our freedom fighters have taken bullets on their chest? These are applications that should not come before this court at all,"*Justice Datta said.

Hey, can you guys share the experience, as it would help me a lot as a fresher. Also, is a Ph.D. only relevant after being completed, or recruiters prefer people who are enrolled in Ph.D. over someone who isn't.

How many times did u try to get the job where you are working right now.

Thanks

How are students allowed to intern for a whole year without any attendance issues while my nlu enforces its attendance policy as mandated by the BCI. This has lead to a lot of tier 2 firms taking in freshers based of their 9-10 month internships, although the people long term interning are trying to make the best out of the market situations but this puts us at tier 2 nlus with very little dayz firms
