Your style of writing is so clunky and so poor that you don't need a clever way of getting your anonymous IP to know that you are the same person spamming every thread. Please stop at this point, whoever you are. Litigation isn't a silver bullet, and you know it. Moderators, please stop publishing these "contributions" - this is now on you, too!

Let’s be real, senior partners love the “mentor” talk, but when it comes to actually helping someone rise, they’re out the door. They clutch their clients like a family heirloom, because that’s all they’ve got. The market’s tight, big-ticket clients are limited, and god forbid someone else shines. They’ll happily work juniors to death, brag about “team success,” and then ghost when it’s time to sponsor them for EP. Suddenly, it’s every man for himself.

Litigation is equally stupid. Most lawyers recycle the same drafts over and over again, changing only party names. Barely any get to make any argument of note and most of the judges listening to them don't have the ability to understand what they are saying anyway. To top it all, there is the all-encompassing corruption.

The univ funded several foreign trips of NKC and not just one of seminar attendances here and there. The faculty group is actively discussing what tangible benefits came out of NKC trips to multiple campuses in the UK and later Australia. Also what was the role of two AssP, especially the one Companion who reportedly did not have NET at the time of recruitment and is currently doing PhD at univ.

Ofc all these trips had EC/FC stamps after they were undertaken. As they say it is better to seek forgiveness than permission. ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮.

You know what happened. But can you prove it? That's the challenge NKC has thrown to his detractors.

I am reliably informed that there are some FC related papers circulating in the faculty WA group. It shows that NKC spent approx 40 lacs on the Radha Binod Pal conference thing along with Chair inauguration. The Chair was endowed by WB govt, which gave a grant of Rs 1 cr and univ put in Rs 10 lacs. The max bank interest is 7-8% for a yr and NKC ends up blowing Rs 40 lacs, mostly ITC Sonar Bangla although it was pitched to the FC as being done on campus.

The more interesting bit is supposed collaborative research with various institutions. Apparently this list helped with NAAC. If this is collaborative then how much did the each of these collaborating institutions put in? Apparently NKC put in Rs 2.6 cr because CLAT grants require money to be spent on research among other things. But was the FC and EC approval taken because some acolytes were awarded multiple times and between Rs 10-20 lacs per grant. Is NUJS paying for sunk costs while NKC & Co gets rewarded with cream later when somebody goes for share market. This much law is sikho.

Oct 16 is drawing near. Is SJA better prepared or bad mein dekha jayega after consulting jalvayu?

Prestige can take a hike. Student fees is the honey pot that is used to traffic in IOUs and a fav method is to dish it out via multiple state PWD and drest dept contracts all rubber stamped by various committees. Previously, it was assumed that getting the SJA inside will act as a check. But last couple if years has shown how the SJA can be hollowed out by conniving insiders and instead get tooled by the admin and faculty factions.

For now the SJA cabal should be thrown out and it should get restructured in a way that another cabal doesn't get incentivised to sabotage studen interests. And every dime that students give or the univ receives should get tracked in real time. But for all this and more a vigilant GB needs to be present and sustained.

Pipe dreams I guess. Hence smooth sailing for NKC and his partners in crime at SJA.

Yup. Also he did a similar thing during PIB eviction. Despite student protests in 2016, PIB got a second term with the help of a former Chancellor who attended EC on a stretcher! No joke. Ask any staff, faculty. So this princeling thought that there is no downside to leading students astray when the rumblings of protest began again in 2017. Also he had been freshly made an AssP in a controversial faculty recruitment. NKC subsequently buried that inquiry because it also involved some of his Horsemen.

The fiery princeling later tried to stain the SJA with political colours offering both SFI and ABVP contacts (the latter courtesy his then guru who is a recently promoted Prof). SJA saw through both these chameleons and their charlatans faculty and staff allies and decided to maintain distance. This was galling for the guru and his then good friend who were not only faculty advisors of SJA but also actually believed that their alum status meant a free ride on students. Anyway SJA acted independently and they got a earful from the Four Horsemen of PIB who now swirl around NKC.

The fiery princeling saw the writing on the wall as did some others as well who scooted as soon their rides got organised. But some stayed on and continue playing double or triple agents for the powers that be while misleading students.

You guys are all missing the woods for the trees. The real development to watch will be the 2026 Bengal elections. That will determine the future of NUJS, for better or worse. And while certain people at NUJS might change affiliations overnight should the TMC lose, the real big fish are too deep in it to be accepted by the other side. They will be lucky to avoid prison term, if the new rulers get vindictive and target the big fish.

Just Focus on learning. Don't have a premeditated mindset that I have to only work with these people. Most important you should be the 1st one to enter the office and last one to leave. Give your 100%, spend at least 3-4 hours in each task and always ask for feedback and updates. Always have smile on your face no matter who you speaking to and try to adapt the culture of the firm. All the very best, don't worry about stipend it'll be somewhere around 10-15k. Your main goal must be to learn as much as you can.

Mid to end of Fourth Year will be the ideal time if you're aiming for a PPO recommendation.

Most PPOs are usually given out before Day 0, so you should ideally aim to finish the entire PPO process and secure it before July/August of your Final Year.

All the best!!!

Hey all, incoming A0 here (T-1, GC team). I was thinking about my long term goals and a few years down the line, I would like the opportunity to work in a foreign country just because I'd like the exposure of working in a new environment/country. I know law is notoriously tough to shift across borders in (with Cap marks being one exception), but I was wondering if anyone knew of any opportunities that come up over the course of a career if someone was to start out as a GC/M&A lawyer today.
Any help would be appreciated!

Ashok Ram Kumar has found a new low. He has on LinkedIN reposted an AI Generated image of CJ Gavai, standing scared in a dark room, with a torch in hand, with this caption - CJI BR Gavai avoids pressing charges after Delhi lawyer Rakesh Kishore's shoe attack over anti-Hindu remark on the Vishnu idol case, fearing the Streisand effect that could expose his judicial bias and hypocrisy

The man is a real 🚩 He’s a designated senior advocate of the Telangana High Court, and is actively attempting to justify yesterday’s incident at the Hon’ble Supreme Court on LinkedIn. His views are there for all to see. He also has no respect for Mahatma Gandhi Ji. Here’s what ARK has to say about Mahatma Gandhi on LinkedIn - Keeping Gandhi poor to show his simple living was a costly affair to thevthen Govt. He was no mahatma.

He’s a right-winger with embarrassingly extreme views, which he proudly ventilates on LinkedIn almost every day. Here’s his response to yesterday’s shoe-flinging episode at the Supreme Court:

“….Let me tell younsince he was a Hindu itcwas a shoe. If it had been from any other religion it works have been some thing else…..”

For a person residing in an up-and-coming metropolitan city where Hindus and other minorities peacefully coexist, his views on a certain minority are concerningly caustic.

TLH is the best law firm in South India (they have many legalera awards). TLH has the best legal minds in India as its partners. TLH's litigation practise is better and bigger than the combined litigation practices of CMS Induslaw, Foxmandal and Samvad in Hyderabad. Shailendra is a legal luminary and the CEO is a great administrator.

Almost faced a similar situation, but was able to secure a callback. I would say just try to position yourself as a serious candidate from day one, be enthusiastic and ready to work, and make sure that your work is correct and reliable. Whenever you get the chance, do try to meet the partner and let them know that you are serious about working there.

When firms hire interns less in number, then people cry that it is only nepotism. Now they're keeping more interns, still people are crying for chances. Just no winning for them. You gotta understand, like life, this is also a game of chance. It may seem unfair but you gotta play the cards you're dealt.

bo25 peeps who ended up at dispute resolution/litigation teams at t1/2 firms, how is it going?

I wanted to understand how the work has been. What type of tasks are you handling, how much time do you end up spending at work, how's the work/life balance, is the office/team culture great/horrible, and are there any regrets or second thoughts about the choice of your first job?

do drop the firm name too if y'all can lol

Hi, I am an A-1 at a tier 1 firm's disputes team. My team is very toxic and I have not learnt anything in all my time here.

I am planning to leave and apply to other places but I feel that those hiring would be able to detect my lack of knowledge.

I want to read up on CPC and learn basics of commercial disputes.

Can someone please point out some resources that I can refer to so that I do not fail any interviews that I have.

So I am a Fourth year NLU student, I wanted a IBC or BnF team at JSA so I mailed all the Partners in these area, and out of 30 - 40 mails one partner forwarded my cv to the HR and i got the Higher Knowledge Assessment.

and Currently I am working in the BnF team at Mumbai office, so I'll recommend you to always mail multiple Partners you don't know who will give you a shot, and that's all we need.

P.S. Mumbai office is beautiful.
