I have been doing this for dog's years so I had to think back (not becuase I haven't badly fucked up since but because I have gotten very good at solving any bad fuck up since).

We had to send out some documents on a deal, and there were very similarly named founders in competing companies. In one, we were representing the founders on the deal - one of whom was named Karan M (name changed obviously lol). In another deal, we were representing an investor (ABC VC) who investing in a company run by a founder named Karan A.

Accidentally sent a mail with one of the transaction documents - not super confidential - but still having some data that I was supposed to send to our client Karan M, to lawyers on the other side, as well as the other counter-party founder - Karan A.

Karan A then contacted: (a) our client, ABC VC, and told them that I fucked up, (b) our client, Karan M, and told him that I've leaked confidential information of Karan M's company to Karan A, and (c) Wrote a mail marking ABC VC and my partner calling me out for being careless and saying that he doesn't want to work with ABC VC because he's not sure if the confidential information being shared by him (Karan A) with ABC VC would be safe in our law firm's hands.

Thought my life had ended in that moment honestly.

But I was quite lucky to have two good things happen to me then: (a) My partner was a gem of a person - atleast on things like this (an absolutely asshole to work with, but stood by his juniors on everything, and (b) Our client ABC VC was an amazing client who I had, personally done several deals with.

Both got onto a call with Karan A and absolutely tore him a new one for escalating a minor issue. Told him that it was a genuine mistake that can happen to anybody - and that he was the one who escalated and spread more confidential information.

I still got a talking to, but nothing that was the end of the world.

I now double check my "to" and "cc" fields multiple times before sending out.

Exactly. Why create such a fuss. Don't you know that SC has a long history of showing farcical concerns and doing absolute zilch later? Judges, politicians, charlatans, you, me etc come from the same cesspool.

If the judiciary was really concerned it would have taken action when Grassroot and it's lapdog police openly facilitated the denigration of the judiciary and a certain judge. Also if there was substance to the allegations made by the Grassroot against that judge then SC should have inquired and settled the matter.

We can rant, fume, call out. But SC and others in power will always protect and nurture their interests. Ofc with rhetorical flourishes that it is all for aam admi.

No Govt Counsel in their right mind will refer to Modi as 'Three-Time Consecutive Prime Minister, and Hon'ble CM of Gujarat the Model State' or some nonsense like that. Why would Guruswamy even remotely think it was a good idea to suggest that an ASG refer to Mamata Banerjee as 'multi-term CM' is beyond me.

Opposition left with the British. Since then opposition has always been co-opted or had a setting with the ruling regimes both at the state and central level. Some opposition did come up with the alleged Red Terror but they were sold out by their fellow travellers who later ruled for 34 years. However when the regime change or Poriborton happens, it is near permanent. Just look at the GOP and Reds in Bengal. Better found in studios and social media and a sprinkling elsewhere.

It will repeat for Grassroot too and later Saffron Bros. For now Nagpur wants Grassroot to continue. Everything else happening is entertainment, such or otherwise.

And yet nobodies on LI criticise her. 😅

Not sure where your attention was. Actually ASG was continuously interrupting by continuously to speak. So its not completely kosher from his side too. And you haven't seen them arguing or their language when arguing about alleged offenses and offenders. Lastly, would your comment be same if the PM is referred to in these arguments by his name without his post?

1. Apply to NLS for Financial Aid. Meet Registrar/ VC on campus and seek help.

2. Get a 20-25 lakh education loan. Any bank will provide you education loan if you join NLS.

3. Teach CLAT students online/ classroom coaching in Bangalore. All coaching classes need NLS students. You can take care of your monthly expenses.

If selected at NLS, you must not miss this opportunity.

same psychodrama each year, NEET PG is not a qualifying test like NEET UG. It is more of a norm referenced test like SAT. So it does not really matter what the cut off or the perecentile is. The easy way to remove this controversy is to just allow 50th percentile to sit for counselling in the first two rounds and then open the counselling to anyone who appears for the exam for the next two rounds

reservation has nothing to do with the controversy, it is more about the percentile, if you want the 15th/25th percentile to appear the cut off for each category would be that. Just allow everyone to join, the seats left are non-clinical in private karnataka tier 2 hospitals

From what i've seen in the thread's replies the absurdity of the so called "marginalized" people is honestly, appalling; considering that continuing reservations (in the name of atrocities committed in the past) will not erase the divide or ease hatred between people of different categories, if anything this will add fuel to the fire more for encouraging casteism;

The young minds of today who originally had no intention of going down the path as their ancestors will accumulate hatred in their mind due to not achieving a seat in any University or public office of the state despite their merit, while a person from their batch achieved the same despite scoring low (just because of his surname), do you honestly believe that the unreserved category people (not just brahmins or kshatriyas) will not feel apathetic to the concept of reservation and backwards classes instead of empathetic?

This is a significant reason why many people say that as a General Category person you should leave India (which they do) or that brain drain is still happening, lack of opportunities, govt not supporting you unless you are falling in any minority, family income is below 8L/year (EWS is capped at 10%) or you are handicapped (understandable).
Even today the concept of rich people from SC/OBC/ST community deriving the ones who truly deserve the benefit of affirmative action from their own jati's kind (the poor ones) but what's even more surprising and horrifying is that people from these communities oppose creamy layer inclusion!

In the name of substantive equality we have spent more than 7 decades, but has the situation become better or worse by any chance?
India is not a country where people should be given affirmative action just because their ancestors suffered for centuries, if anything the reservation system should be completely changed to affect only on the basis of Economic and Disability criteria.

You have been saved by the hair from (genuinely) unsustainable work hours and a complete absence of work life balance, and toxic colleagues all across the board. If you're in a profession where you can expect to have some WLB, that's all that matters. Be happy with your choice and work hard there.

I always wanted to be lawyer, but didn't have guts ,connections , financial help so ended up choosing engg and now I just can't get over the fact that I'm not going to be a lawyer like y'all. I'm already 20 and in my second year so I can't change my mistakes now. I wish I had taken law instead of this hell hole

I am a day 0 hire at a t1 doing my first ever pe/vc mandatory internship; i want to connect with someone that can help me understand the whole lifecycle of pe/vc investment and the exact work that these lawyers do. Please help me out, i'd really appreciate if you reached out on verak52248@lawicon.com for a deeper discussion. I know most of the learning happens on the job, but i want to get ahead of the curve and truly understand without bothering my seniors too much for the basics.

Reading such weird emails make me want to never apply to a law firm and just enter in-house right out of college. Why is travel expenses only 3,000/annum? Even public transport would exhaust this in a few months. Also, the audacity to wish a happy new year below the email is insane, sounds like a shitty workplace.

As someone working in disputes, how do you check whether a judgment has been overruled?

Most people rely on Manupatra, but it does not clearly indicate whether a case has been overruled. It only shows “dissent”; which is a very different concept.

SCC marks some judgments in red to indicate that they have been overruled, but this is not available for all cases. In practice this tagging usually exists only for old landmark judgments that lawyers in that area already know about.

Given this, what method do you personally use in practice to verify whether a judgment is still good law or has been overruled?

Because the people in charge dont have any worthwhile ideas, or the ones with worthwhile ideas cant secure investors. You cant start a business on a novel idea these days, only way to secure funding is to either make a Zepto/Swiggy clone or make a (insert buzzword) gpt wrapper and make it all be excessively "Indian" instead of investing in good branding.

1. Don't waste your time at Saikrishna & Associates. The firm is currently on a hiring freeze, also if you're scheduled for Delhi/Noida office, the scenes are horrific.

2. Plan your internships accordingly, look for places that have vacancies (specially if you're in your 4th year), don't just apply and intern.

3. Stand out in your internships from the other candidates, make your face value, be sharp and consistent. Dress Well.

There is very limited option in prosecution. You can consider doing contractual work in the media industry and/or do assignment related stuff. I am in a T1, but it is not worth it. You put in longer hours and the salary is not at par with other teams (unless it is CAM).

In-house they usually look for prosecution + contractual work. But honestly, those kind of jobs are very limited. Cause unless its pharma (B2C) or FMCG company, they usually do not need an inhouse dedicated resource for IP.

So best bet is to do something apart from IP.

CESTAT isn't actually hearing and disposing off many matters. Plus their remit in Excise and Service Tax has already come to an end now. So, no, I dont think its lucrative, unless you also cover GSTAT. Also, big importers and exporters as a client doesn't matter unless the matters are complex which would give you high fees.

But CJI was clapping and nodding away. Meghwal squirmed. Audience was amused and many hooted. CM rightly doesn't care because no one else if significance does. The talking heads will act according to scripts on TV. Because if you win elections then you get away with murder. Don't single out CM. This rule applies everywhere and everytime.

And don't lionise the SC. It is part of the same rotten system. Just wait for the hearing on Feb 3.

Appalling and unethical misuse of a platform! She was supposed to simply inaugurate a circuit bench and not politicise the occasion. She did the same when invited to NUJS. In front of the SC judges she blasted Modi.
