We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Also, you seem remarkably ignorant and frankly, quite condescending of our clients. Why would a client ever engage an incompetent or someone who has never had to prove their competence? Why would said Senior Counsels ever engage with said incompetent AORs? How could said incompetents ever survive in the profession?
You live in your own echo chamber where failures are blamed on existing social archetypes and institutions. Look inward young man. Progress will never occur without introspection and acceptance of reality.
And age will teach you another fundamental truth - clients trust you only when you win for them and protect them at all costs. Stop living in worlds of childish fantasy and spouting nebulous pointless concepts like "ethics". The only ethics in our profession is when you protect your client, win for them in Court, get the deal done for them, all while abiding by our legal and social systems.
Calling any criticism of a closed briefing circle “socialism” is a neat trick. It saves you the trouble of explaining why the same surnames keep winning musical chairs. Observation, sadly, isn’t ideology.
And if your only creed is money and stimulation, fair enough—but sneering at ethics while demanding trust is like mocking brakes while insisting you’re a great driver. Bold. Brief. Usually ends badly.
But do carry on evangelising. Faith, after all, is most useful when evidence is in short supply.
I've often seen multiple Associates etc. with an LI tab perpetually open on their laptop but wonder if this practice permeates all the way to partners and up and whether this has had any notable occurrences/side effects till now?
Since SJA in this and other issues as well has proved to be a self serving medium for an entitled brass, bin it. SJA does not exist in the NUJS Act. It is merely a creation of the founding VC and the monopoly has been allowed by the admin. Refuse it and have your own thing. Stay united.
While you all get the sack, guess you gets to enjoy the gravy? SAK.
The only difference is people don't accept bsc llb as the same thus not very concerned about them.
ISB, however, has a lot of money. So just like Jindal, it manages to maintain its PR, and does serve as the next best option when you don't land at one of the best. It also does manage to attract a few good hirers owing to the institutional ties. Has good faculty and infra because money. But none of that places it above a t-1 B school. However, none of this is a reason to not opt for it- it's still very much a decent option.
2- Of course it is. SLSP has been barely managing 5-10% placements, not even half of which are t-1s. A T-1 will always give you the edge. 1 year of dropping out opposed to an alma you can count on, and a uni that puts you an advantage by simply existing.
3- Not quite. If you have a home bias, then that's a different story. Else, the preference always is and will be NUJS>NLUJ>GNLU.
Iam currently a first year student at SLSP and gave CLAT 2026 the three questions i have in short from everyone is
1. Is there any Impediment if one starts law school at 20 )social, career progress, ageism in law school, placement preference)
2. Is it worth leaving SLSP for greener pastures are they actually greener? Context SLSP has swelled its batch size to over 600 and is not faring well administratively or academically there isnt much exposure overall disheartening.
3. NLUJ being closest to home will have a little bias for me but is it the best out of the three?
All opinions appreciated
Thank you
Suggest that you replay Anirban B song to really understand (and accept) the irrelevance of Red at least in Bengal.
A celebrity law firm from Okhla—still very much one—publicly committed to meritocracy and zero tolerance for incompetence, filed two or three affidavits before the Erstwhile Company Law Board that were improperly notarised and bore false signatures. This was not a trivial defect. It went to the basic integrity of representations made to a judicial body.
The response that followed was revealing.
The notaries involved were prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Their names were recorded. Their professional lives ended. The system demonstrated that it could act decisively—provided the targets were suitably peripheral.
Within this firm, accountability became more selective. The Principal Associate responsible—an NLS graduate, insulated by privilege—was quietly removed. His name appeared in the order, but misspelt. A minor clerical error, one might say. Yet a curiously convenient one: sufficient to gesture at responsibility, insufficient to anchor it. Responsibility was present in theory and absent in practice.
The junior associate—a NALSAR graduate—was treated differently. His name was spelled correctly. It was fixed in the record. When blame needed a home, and it found one!
More than a decade later, the outcome speaks for itself. The misspelt Principal Associate has not merely survived; he has prospered—occupying media space, dispensing opinions, and being routinely projected on this very website as senior-advocate material. The past has not followed him. It has been quietly edited out.
The Indian legal system does not lack standards; it lacks equal application of them. It does not deny failure; it reallocates its consequences. Discipline flows downward. Rehabilitation flows upward. And meritocracy survives—not as a fact, but as a comforting story maintained by omission, discretion, and selective memory.
Wonder who's this celebrity judge?
The names they come up with....jeez!!

Anyone. And I mean anyone including senior practitioners who say this is a great place to work at. .... My dear. They are getting their fees on time or your senior doesn't want you. Oh and the most important part. .... They have never worked under the same roof. The grass is always greener on the other side and I beleive ya'll should really send your own kids here without these guys knowing it's your kid.
Do not go for anyone's birthday here SPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE POLITELY invited. If you want to ... Go at your own risk but please .... Do not take a thing to Eat or Drink. Preserve your dignity. If you eat something here even by accident at a group gathering specially birthdays MAKE SURE you are paying it or make a public announcement that yes you have eating something from the table and also paid for it upfront in front of everyone regardless of their designation.
PAY : Take the Seed off that pea nut. No my friend. You don't get what's left ( the bigger pieces of the nut you get the chaff ) You will be working your arse off In excess of 18 hours at times here with nothing.
CONVEYANCE : Travel by local train ( cab, Olas and Ubers are beyond their budget, late night cab sanctions... Don't even think about it. Not even at the railways station. Apparently their aukad is toooooooooooo high ) reimbursements ( if they feel ) after a month and a half.
Offer Letter : Don't ask for it. Kaam baaki hai.
Letter confirming Appointment : Whats that ?
Rest is upto you boss what you wanna do here with your life and future. ( If you think you have one ). There's a lot more curses people have thrown and believe me people are ready to suffer to throw curses and theres a whole lot of it coming their way in this lifetime.
