I have one year HC litigation experience in Punjab and 1 year SC Clerkship. I want to join a lawyer, not necessarily a senior, who has good work and is a good boss. Any help would be appreciated. I am open to work in any area of law or forum, and need only leads for people who are good bosses

considering a realised amount of 1-1.2 crores (which is very doable) comes out at 8-10 lakhs. fixed pay bands for SA1 are 24-26 lakhs. Bonus cap is 10 lakhs usually

so a conservative figure would be-

24 + 8 + 10 = 42 lakhs

ofc in a good year it can even be 46/48 lakhs or 40 lakhs in a bad year - unstable like that

Have the rules of grammar changed much since the publication of Wren & Martin? I agree that merely using a book like that is not going to improve one's vocabulary but it is still largely indispensable for having a solid understanding of the rules of English grammar. Intuition regarding grammar which is gained through exposure to English is good but it is no substitute for actually understanding the rules of grammar.

I recently interned with the Capital Markets team at SAM mumbai. I want to apply for a call-back because I really enjoyed the work there. How do I go about it? Any advice would help.

Do I tag the partner in the email? Do I tag the training guide or what exactly do I do?

Former student of JGLS. He travels abroad frequently, mainly to promote how global the university is (many times with his family and the usual bunch). He tends to focus on people who have influence or can help him with certain things. Because of that, students and alumni don’t get much attention as seems to be the case with you. Someone I know (from a different uni law school) worked in his office for a short time and said the environment there was quite disorganized and stressful. So if you want a response from him, you need to send more than one email.

Usually, his "chief of staff" manages the inbox. Some messages get ignored or deleted, especially when they involve accountability. You can still try sending reminders. You can try your luck with these emails- crk@jgu.edu.in and vc@jgu.edu.in. A few of my batchmates got replies, but only after multiple reminders.

Can be a good course except that University seems to be getting more greedy than responsible atleast with respect to this course. And absolutely zero accoutability and unprofessional treatment towards students of the course. Random change of schedules, no beforehand clarity of schedules, some of the courses having very bad profs, 2 plus months for declaring results of MCQ exams and now they even cancel MCQ exam after two months of conducting it because they cant even manage to proctor it adequately and maintain integrity.

Well it does not really make you reflect about your anonymity here since it's a bit extreme of a case.

These are the things that you don't even see extremists do online tbh.

Also he did something specifically prohibited from being done as a part of his job on a not so anonymous website. Also twitter is the hub of online cancel culture sooner or later somebody would have doxxed him if it wasn't the case this time, a lot of people follow extreme Opsec methods on twitter

So the things you've mentioned here are really easy to dissect but the problem is in taking advice in itself since people usually pay for advice why would you go to an anonymous site of all places to get it instead of reaching out to people in that profession? If you want advice you're the one who should be reaching out for it and not just putting your post there expecting others to find and answer it

Even if you do reach out to those people the advice would still be biased and even if you have the analytical skills to get objective data there are many conflicting things not related to you that will affect you( how the people in your life perceive the job)

I'm 18 btw

So considering just how much slop there is regarding this I wanted to make an unbiased analysis on this comparison:

You're either gonna judge these colleges based on 2 major situations those being:

A- you know what you wanna do in/after law school

B- you do not know that and want subscription to maximum possible opportunities

Now a lot of seniors/graduates appeal to the latter option here and i believe that's a bit lazy of a reasoning since that logic does work on choosing your 10+2 stream but in this context you're gonna go into the same profession more or less via any of these unis

So the major advantages apart from each of their locational advantages afaik are

NLS:, opportunity for L.L.M. from Oxford and the like

Cons: Fee, Trimester system

NLUD: SC Proximity, UPSC/Judiciary culture,

Cons:

NALSAR: Fee, highest placement%, campus

Cons: lack of connectivity from the main city from what I've heard atleast

So in short if you want to pursue:

Placements or Low fees: NALSAR

Upsc/judiciary culture or/Litigation:NLUD

L.L.M. abroad: NLSIU

I can't really think any other practical basis for making a choice tbh except for each of their locations of course

The PA in my team was one such associate who went on to become a PA and made our lives a lot better. Often shielding us from the Partner. The SA on the other hand continued the generational trauma, threw us under the bus all the time and did all those things listed in this post.

There are some tools that can help, but more often there are tell-tale signs and writing styles that are hard not to see when you're aware of them, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing

In this post, some of the giveaways were constructions like this, which are so overused by AI trying to go for some imagined rhetorical effect that it has 'learned' by averaging some click-bait blog / Linked-in posts:

> The businessman has actually built something. Thousands of families earn their livelihood because of decisions he made over decades. Genuine risk. Genuine skin in the game.

Language like this calls into question whether the entire post was just fiction generated by a lazy prompt like: "Tell me an engaging story why businessmen are better than lawyers".

But maybe the wider question should be: is the community okay with publishing AI generated posts and 'experiences'?

Happened with me too. I was in the office for the whole day and didn't have too much work apart from some small thing. Othwerwise, I asked the SA and the partner if they would want me to assist them on any matter to which they told me that there's nothing for now. I left the office at 7.30PM. At 9 PM, the partner texted me and told me like 3 things to do, which were required to be completed on the same night. PS - This was a friday night and also, this was not the first time it happend, he just wanted me to stay in office after 7 even if my work has ended and keep asking other people for more work till 9-10. If still no one gives me any work, then i can leave or if anyone ends up giving me work, then keep doing it till 2-3 AM.

I had been preparing for judicial services and law officer exams but now with the 3 year practice requirement and limited vacancies for law officers, I have been trying to switch to a corporate law firm role. Haven't received any responses to cold mails, and since i am from the 2024 batch, i feel like i'm stuck and it won't get better. How realistic is it for someone from a judiciary-prep background to switch into a law firm at this stage?

IVth Year student from NLS here, I'm sure students across batches can feel the frustration and helplessness at the way our Messiah's "Master Plan" for re-development is being implemented on Campus. What started as periodic banging and clanging has now amplified to a crass cacophony of incessant drilling, banging, and unloading that too right from morning classes scheduled for 9:00 AM. The administration has forced us to normalise these noises around us that seriously impact concentrating and understanding what is being taught in class. At times, the drilling gets so loud that the Professors need to pause and start teaching in installments. They do not spare suspending construction activities even during our mid/end term examinations which is the least we expect them to do. I'd have appended footage of the noise we experience had there been an option, but yeah. This has been going on for three continuous trimesters now (each new trimester heralding a substantial increment in NOISE POLLUTION levels) and I sincerely hope that some compromise can be worked out before driving all of us here mad!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I'm in a T1 Tax Law firm for the past 3 years. I've spent an extensive amount of time right from law school till now to specialise in IDT. I'm now considering to switch to general litigation because of the lack of mobility within tax practising law firms. I understand that general litigation would give me a diverse workload along with the unending opportunities between firms.

I do love tax, I enjoy it thoroughly, I'm just considering switching because of the lack of mobility amongst tax law firms. Seeking advice if switching to general lit is a good decision or sticking it in tax litigation because of the opportunities forming owing to GSTAT.

I'm quite unhappy at my current firm but since there's v little mobility, I'm unsure if I should stick at a firm where I'm unhappy but doing tax or move out to do disputes. I'm a law grad (only) from '24 batch

The Univ admin will always prefer opacity. Full disclosure of EC, AC etc minutes and agenda notes was a hard won victory by the SJA during Talukdar regime. And then for unstated reasons successive SJA brass decided to go all servile. It certainly helped personal and pecuniary agendas across the board. Goodness knows what the ever smiling and agreeable leader will do this time.

🤩🤩🤩

So awesome! Is it possible to Law School to get something like this, given the clout that alumni have?

Either the Supreme Court will say that the election has to be delayed and will take place with a complete voter roll, or it will say that the election will take place as scheduled with an incomplete voter roll.

The former solution means that the elections take place under President’s rule in Bengal. The latter solution means that elections take place under Mamata’s rule, but lakhs of suspected (but not proven) Bangladeshi Muslim voters and suspected (but not proven) false voters are debarred in key swing seats.

So what should the Supreme Court do? Either way, it is advantage BJP. Under president’s rule, all the pro-TMC police officers and bureaucrats will be selectively transferred, pro-TMC goons will be selectively jailed, corruption files will be selectively opened.
