I feel that the central government should give a choice to state governments to upgrade to INI status. BJP-ruled states like Delhi, Rajasthan and Gujarat will agree to it, which will then put NLSIU, NALSAR and NUJS in a quandary— if they refuse because of pathological Modi-hatred by the Congress and TMC, they will be themselves in the foot, as NLUD, GNLU and NLUJ will attract more funds and better faculty.

I think the student bar association's of NLU's should look into this matter seriously.

Planning to join Jindal law school as no other alternative seemed to be viable. Due to health woes I was unable to give my all in preparing for clat and a drop year is not somethig my parents are particularly keen about. I come from a family with modest means and I will be availing a loan for attending the law school. I won't be caught up in buffoonery. Are there individuals from the "modest" social strata? Would I be an outcast simply off my financial background?

I believe you need to make incremental moves to transition out of what you are doing currently. I'm happy to speak to you and brainstrom ideas on how to use you existing exprience and switch to a job which is adjacent to what you are currently doing.

Administrative law scholars often debate the concept of 'manifest arbitrariness'. Today at the SAM Delhi office. We witnessed a live example.

Mr. Shardul Shroff gifted chocolates to every female intern for Valentine's Day. It was a generous and thoughtful gesture.

The male interns received a valuable lesson in exclusion.

I have analyzed the policy under the twin test of reasonable classification. The differentia is intelligible. However the rational nexus with the object of the celebration remains unclear.

We are considering a filing for interim relief. We seek strictly parity in confectionery distribution.

Until then. We remain the petitioners in a matter where judgment is reserved.

Happy Valentine's Day to the preferred class.

Firstly you study LLM as master of law and not master of family law.

It makes no difference which specialisation you do LLM. To become academic, Family law as good area of specialisation as corporate law or IPR.

Your NET/ JRF and PhD in law will help you get a teaching position. Best wishes

Surprised to see that nmims is there on your list. It should stand nowhere in the list, it's better to join any Mumbai uni affiliated college that is situated near the BHC/Bandra/Parel area or even on the western line... Atleast the attendance and lec hours will be much more relaxed and one would get the time to intern and make full use of the location advantage that Mumbai offers

To be honest I know a relative at sls noida who had a miserable time at the university the administration of the college is pretty lax abt placements. I think even though bits might not be a brand it had Khaitan and Pallavi shroff ( AZB) on their boards plus the curriculum and teachers are way way better than sls noida. If u want to go for corporate I think bits will give u an exposure which is better suited for the future

They are all in it. 🙄

While I think you'll get lots of responses (perhaps from the marketing teams of the platforms themselves), it is important to draw a distinction between LLMs and Legal AI Platforms. LLMs are foundational models which power AI applications and platforms, such as your GPT-5.2, Gemini 3 and Opus/Sonnet 4.5. They are general-purpose models which can be used in specific contexts to make them more effective. You can imagine the LLM as the drivetrain of a car, while the platform develops everything on top of it.

Legal AI Platforms such as Harvey and Legora use these LLMs and provide them tailored context to make them more effective for legal workflows. Any legal AI platform advertising having their own LLM (Jurisphere is infamous for this) is outright lying, as only a few labs at the frontier AI companies possess the talent and compute required to develop a LLM. Be wary of this distinction when evaluating legal AI vendors, this transparency naturally lends itself to a higher degree of confidence regarding data privacy and security which are one of the main value adds of these platforms.

Bhopal doesn't have high court bench. A tricky city to practice. I know at least 30 people from Bhopal practicing in Delhi.

Every city has people in firms, practice and so on and so forth. It's true that Bhopal has been a clat hotspot but nothing unusual, you'll find as many people from cities in UP, WB, RJ etc.

Only partners are allowed to use the designated parking. While working on a Sunday, an unassuming female A1 parked her vehicle in the designated spot (other parking area is shady), as no partner was in office. The next morning whole firm got an email about appropriate parking practices.

Not just the abuse of dominance cases, cartelisation too. The 2016 cement cartel appeals remain pending too. If the SC is not clear on the issue of interest payable per on the penalty amounts when it passes its judgment (whenever that may be), that will be another half a decade (best case if this trend continues) of litigation.

Companies just don’t have any commercial reason to comply with competition law. In fact, contravention is commercially logical and the small penalties and/or counsel fee to be accepted as the cost of doing business.
