AMD is missing big corporates, nothing else. GIFT City is still a ghost town and it's not realistic to expect a million jobs to pop up in the next 5 years. Infra is already decent but there is very little to do in the city and alcohol is banned. Until the culture evolves to meet Mumbai or Delhi standards, it won't see the bump to T1

No. Knowing what would happen. The areas were the people visit will be coated with a varnish/facade if development. While the slums will be covered up with billboards and sht. Otherwise netas and babus cannot eat away from all the public infrastructure funds if it becomes first world

Fully support what this man did, ie opt to have a lethal injection after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Having Alzheimer’s is worse than having cancer or AIDS, because your brain rots to the point where you become like a zombie: can’t speak, can’t comprehend, can’t eat or bathe, can’t remember anyone or anything.. better to die than live like this.

We need this in India.

Bro, SNU here means Sister Nivedita University, not Shiv Nadar! It’s a ▮▮▮ private university started by a ▮▮▮ pair of businessmen brothers who are aides of Mamata (though, as I’ve said before, these people will switch over to saffron the moment there’s a regime change — they have no ideology).

Which are the best Corporate LLM programs in the world? How do they take their applicants?

Does work experience triumph over poor college grades during admission?

For context: I am a person studying in a not so famous college in India. Since I left school I have never experienced any quality learning. I want to be educated in depth about Corp law, rewire my thought process, and preferably study in a world renowned or atleast field renowned university which could help me with this. My 12th grades are very good but my BA.LLB are just bare minimum . So what are your recommendations should I try for a Corp LLM or a 3 year BA.Juri in Oxford (because as per my understanding, they look at your 12th grade qualifications and ECs and not UG grades)

And yet all these people are dying to move to the West, where women work. Yes, everyone wants women to do unpaid labor, but no, there is nothing romantic about it. Maybe pay the moms and nannies an amount that reflects the value of this work. The problem is patriarchy not feminism.

Cap Marks is predicted to be the most heavily effected areas when AI properly sets in. Right now, the concerns with AI in law is mostly about its capabilities to research, maybe build arguments and such. But none of that is needed in cap marks, since it's free of any application of law. All those scrolling through docs, consolidating data, etc can be easily and promptly done with a good ai tool.

About difficulty to become a partner, I think it's just as much as any other practice area, or maybe a little more because it's more difficult to stick around in CM. But since people keep leaving, if you get through 4-5 years, competition lessens. Sticking around for at least a decade should help you start your own books.

I second this! I do sometimes feel that my govt job was much better. If you can live without brains for 9h of your office shift, you'll have a better life at home. Unlike law firms, where there's no life beyond work. One does not need to earn more to lead a successful life. You can still be successful if you're home before your kid sleeps and are able to spend weekends with family with no work anxiety.

Think twice before leaving a government job especially in today's times.

In Litigation there's no guarantee of becoming a top tier senior and earning crores especially if you're a 1st gen lawyer or wait for decades to be financially successful. In a government job atleast you regularly get a salary and healthy working hours in comparison to 24/7 availability requirement in litigation and law firms.

You can be successful in litigation if luck and your hard work are combined together but be prepared for initial brutal struggle.

Hi, I was a lateral hire in a PSU and left the organisation within 2years. I moved back to a Tier I firm. Personally, the return wasn't difficult at all as the Partners knew me. The only concern that they had was whether I'm still a resource or liability - PSUs have a very bad (but true) image in the industry. If you're planning to move to judiciary, I'm sure they'll consider your exit from a govt dept as a negative point. However, your independent practice/litigation shouldn't be affected. Since you have a good understanding of how the govt dept works, firms might want to hire you for your experience in understanding their complicated processes/structures. My firm keeps me involved in all govt related bids/tender processes.

Why host foreign ministers and diplomats? Why conduct military drills? Why do anything?

We live in a cosmopolitan world, and things like these are important to maintain relationships. Not like tax money is being well spent anyways, with politicians eating up a huge chunk of it.

Don't take everything so seriously.

This is India, boss. You'll need a thicker skin than this if you want to survive its tribunals and tell the tale. And never call out a lawyer or a big firm on LI- if their insecurity or vindictiveness kicks in, they can land you in a hole deeper than the one you're already in! Take this up quietly with your reference and leave it at that. If you're looking for professional ethics, pack your bags, swallow your dignity, and head West.

I was a director in a company and got NBW for non apearance in executiion case of company as i have resigned a year ago. neither the case was intialted during my tendure as director nor the jugemnt was pronounced. I need to submit the court the same. pls suggest related section

Her posts trend heavily on social media these days. She is also frequently invited to TV panel discussions. It seems that she did her LLB from DU and LLM from LSE.

Does anyone have any information about her? How is her practice? Is it mostly human rights focused? Does she practice mostly in the Supreme Court or Delhi High Court? Is it worth interning with her? Because I feel in your first or second year, it is good to work with an advocate who is not too senior and will give you some work. But at the same time, it should also be someone whose certificate will matter.

People need to understand that sometimes there isn't much difference between associates and interns. Max difference could be a year or so. This is something many newly minted associates would never admit openly: Sometimes even they don't know stuff. They are new in the profession and learning too. Plus anyone who has even an iota of intent to teach you stuff would do it regardless of you asking, provided you too, would have to demonstrate sincerity. Those who don't either don't know things that well themselves or simply swarmed up with so much work that they wouldn't be able to mentor you even if they want to. Then there is another category of individuals:This holds true for both associates and senior associates- they will try to extract work out of you without giving two hoots about your learning trajectory. Also, please don't let such people get to you and mess up your sense of worth in that process. I have seen senior associates- individuals who are supposedly senior and are supposed to know a thing or two about the law not knowing basics or relying on an intern for client sensitive work when in fact they shouldn't have relied upon an intern for the same. Just know one thing in this profession: you are responsible for your own learning. If you find a mentor-well and good, if not then observe, read, keep your ears and eyes open. I have come to this realisation that most often than not hirings in these vaunted law firms is not necessarily a measure of how hardworking or smart you are. While those are certainly factors, there are extraneous considerations like 'fit' or vibes as some people call it ( which to me is a fuzzy proxy for class, social status etc.), your ability to be pliant (because if you can think for yourself, you will not be easily manipulated and wouldn't hesitate to leave if mistreated), syncophancy ( because your boss needs to be validated and you can't be right in that process) and lastly looks ( this more or less ties in to fit point- pretty privilege is real and applied to both men and women- as a woman who does not invest too much in her looks, I have seen women/men who are more pleasing to look at being given promotions while everyone around them covered up for the mess they created- including but not limited to not delivering on time, shoddy work.etc.) Also, OP remember: Anyone who yells or shouts at you or refuses to guide does not know their ish well. They are shouting or bringing you a peg down to cover their own incompetence. I often liken it to teachers who don't know how to teach so they target someone in class and waste the entire class's time. These are some realities of this profession. Not that it doesn't happen in other professions as well, but in our line of work things are worse. I wish you best of luck! Be open to learning and stop putting these seniors on a pedestal.
