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

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'?

The question was, since as the author aggressively pointed out, they only write without AI when they get paid for it, whether they write to their mother or family by hand or whether they use AI to do so. No offence to mothers was intended, it is obviously a rhetorical question.

But it bears repeating: the author's point would have been a lot more persuasive and more pleasant to read had they made it in their own voice, just like few mothers or other unpaid / unpaying recipients want to receive an AI-written birthday card or email.

In this case, the OP's post read like AI slop and it was impossible to tell whether something was their opinion, had actually happened or whether it was hallucinated / embellished / sloppified by an AI model.

T1 SAs, PAs and Partners live in a completely detached reality. Lawyers by default have a tad bit of ego with respect to how they carry themselves but it's so hilarious seeing some unfortunate T1 folk who harbour this misconception that the current economic drive of India lies on their shoulders. Similarly, junior magistrates/judges who are directly appointed via exams (who were often around 24-25 years of age) seem to possess an ego bigger than even the most arrogant of HC judges, without understanding that many trial-court advocates possess decades worth of legal knowledge and skills in advocacy!

It is very A0-A3 heavy and very disorganised. Partners take on way more deals than what the team can manage and most of it falls on the juniors. Add to that, the juniors attrition rate is high and everyone is either leaving or falling sick due to burnout. I have heard that a lot of people have put in their resignations, so openings are there but not a sustainable team in the long run…

What’s shocking is that all the students are filming at the back with their phones, enthusiastically cheering them on. As if they are watching a WWE women’s title match.

And they say Gen Z is more empathetic? Just shows how social media has completely desensitised this generation towards violence. Legions of brain-dead zombies — sorry to say this.

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

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.

But the Univ is inviting applicants to pursue PG courses in Criminology, Forensic Sciences and Data Science. And all NKC acolytes in faculty ranks are getting confirmed or promoted.

Asansol got cancelled by DD long bfr OVN took over. Maybe Ghatak has sensed his impeding departure and wanted to dash in the second campus approval

As and when Grassroot returns and CM Kindness decides to open a campus in North Bengal, do you really think OVN or EC will or can go against that wish/whim?

Just go back in history and check how the NUJS Amendment Bill wa legislated. EC had no prior info or discussion . Univ bypassed completely.

I didn't really have this problem with English, because I grew up in an environment where it was regularly used. However, I feel that this advice would work, because this is exactly what I employed for French, which is a language I need for my specific professional purposes, and I went from someone who couldn't speak a word of French back in 2019, to someone who can comfortably converse with anyone in French on most topics today.

Honestly, unless you used ChatGPT to write this, your written English is fine. So I assume you're mostly concerned about your spoken English.

The only way to get good at it is first to be exposed to a LOT of it - so (if you don't already) watch lots of stuff in English - news, movies, podcasts, whatever. Hundreds and thousands of hours (yes it will take time).

In conjunction with that, just speak a lot - speak as much as you can, to other people but also just to yourself when alone etc. The more you do this, the better you will become and the more you will start thinking in English instead of thinking in Hindi and translating to English (which is the biggest barrier for most people when moving towards fluency - you can't sound fluent if you are thinking in Hindi and translating into English).

Look into the "Comprehensible Input" theory of language learning - there's lots on YouTube. But basically all you need is lots of exposure (until you can comfortably understand English movies without strain or missing anything - if you're already at that level you can go to speaking) and then speak as much as possible. Don't waste your time studying grammar and things like that - it's like learning to play tennis by watching tennis videos instead of actually swinging a racket. Just learn like babies learn their mother tongue.

Buy a copy of Wren & Martin. Repeatedly drilling the exercises in that book did wonders for my English proficiency as a child. I would go so far as to say that you will notice a substantial improvement in your English within a month if you diligently use that book for that period of time.

Current boss barely comes to the office. I'm the only reporting associate. Never gives proper instructions or adequately discusses anything related to work. Expects me to finish a 12 hour deliverable in 2 hours. Keeps calling continuously to check on the status. That gives me anxiety. Hurries me for no reason. Offcourse, if he doesn't approve of it then asks me if I'm using my brain while I'm working. When I'm explaining my self my calls are hung up without any caution. I end up crying like all the time

There are scholars in NLS who work on urban studies, public policy, gender, caste and religion. All of them are exemplary scholars. Under a different ruling dispensation, they should have been teaching in JNU or other similarly placed universities. Anyway, the point being that NLS is an excellent University at the current moment to pursue PhD in Social Sciences, especially Political Science. Also, look into different IITs, especially Bombay, Delhi, and Madras.

Whereas if someone gets a job because of his/her connections, it's ok. I mean, technically both are unfair advantages, but the one who's good looking will almost always get more hate than the one who's resourceful and well connected. Why do we like sh*tting on good looking people so much? It's not like all good-looking people sleep with their bosses to get their job. They may just be favoured over other plain-looking candidates.

I am looking to switch to a Tier I firm in Mumbai in Disputes. Been working at a Mid-Tier Mumbai law firm since the last 4 years, where I did General Lit and Real Estate primarily. I want to get into general Civil and Commercial Litigation.

I have narrowed down on the following options, kindly advise if they are appropriate for General Commercial & Civil Disputes and if there are any other good options as well:

Nitesh Jain - Trilegal

Ameya Gokhale - SAM

Ankoosh Mehta - CAM

From JSA & Khaitans website, could not gauge where to apply since all the Partners seem to do General Civil & Commercial Lit.

while I don't want to comment on whether it's right or wrong to use contacts for internships, that's not really how it works. internships are not a zero-sum game (even if HR says they have a fixed number of slots). if you do not receive an internship at a specific firm, you would not have received the internship offer regardless of whether someone with contacts applied.
