bro even after we leave office by 10ish we have to work till 1-2 researching some basic drafting proofreading, responding to emails, planning, etc. .................zzzzzzz, feeling sleepy, bye. (sorry timesheets bhi bharni hai)
sqe2 exemption is quite easy, sqe1 is a bit difficult
Attendance, projects, internships, placements and exams - how cruel the world is that it only demands you improve yourself everyday ! How unfair - none of the previous batches has to do any of this- they were all just given law degrees for watching Netflix and laying about near the lake !
I am so done with the chase man. 4 years of law school seem to assessed solely by whether one manages to get employed. Worse, I am so clueless about what to do if I don't. Can't skip classes and intern endlessly. Neither do I want to, to only be disappointedly informed about a lack of vacancy in my last week of internship. Years of co-curriculars, decent grades, publications and genuinely thinking maybe I like law, only to be unemployed. Familial responsibilities, peer pressure, the fear of not bagging a corp job when that's what you have looked up to right from your first year when your seniors would flex it - all of it is just getting to me. God, please, just give me a job. I really don't have it in me to keep stressing over it.
It's a remarkable piece of software. Like it or not, it's here to stay. Might as well understand how it operates and derive what benefits you can.
The extent of dependency is fair though. But that is its own separate issue.
It's absolutely impossible for her to be an adult who can make her own decisions and her own mistakes, and an extremely intelligent and successful professional at a law firm where the starting salary is like $500,000 per year, who chose of her own free will to have an adult relationship with her boss, either because she was genuinely attracted to the intelligent, powerful law firm partner, or because she thought she might get some career advantage out of it. It's also impossible for colleagues (even bosses and subordinates) to date and get married and have successful relationships - it's always only the man taking advantage of the weak and helpless woman.
Why hasn't this man been arrested and executed yet??? There's video proof of his actions!!
Let me assure you most male married partners have unhappy lives and wives and would be tethered only for the sake of their kids. And most juniors if they feel someone is coming on to them know how to avoid these situations. Youre law associate and cant be this ditzy.
I am sure Wachtell will deal with this because its now public. Thankfully, American orgs will also realize this is between the male partner and his husband. Quite hard for the junior to say i was coerced when youre liplocked in the middle of central park.
my cgpa right now at the end of sem 6, year 3, is a little below 7/10 and the average needed is at least a 7.5
i also am still in the process of writing my first research paper (because acc to me im supposed to find an entirely novel gap that no one has thought of before fully) and i havent done an international moot yet, didnt win at national ones i did before either.
it just wasnt the best time. i do have some decent internships though
so yes i have 2 more years to go and i will do my best, however, right now i just feel like i am doomed and wont get a job. i seriously considered going back to law school again.
so well can you please help me out and tell me if that is in fact true that i have failed and wont get a job.
What is the likely course of action next, will they call me to just submit the photos, or will it get rejected outright? Or is there a chance that they overlook it, please let me know, thanks in advance!
and how likely are they to get converted into an internship, and if so, how? what is the process?
thankyou!
thankyouu.
All of us marinate in this misery but 2 saal mein sab theek ho jayega kuch nahi hota - all it indicates is that after 2/3 years you would get to do unto others what was done to you.
It sucks. It will continue to suck. There will be days/months where you may be better off but the terrible days will more than compensate for them. Hold on for as long as you can or want to. Everybody works in firms only for the money.
Current understanding is that itβll be 3 hours long with bare acts being provided. Can anyone whoβs given this round help me with what kinda questions I can expect? What kinda prep should I do?
Thanks!
Will doing a pg diploma from nls help me out in enhancing my cv. Also can it increase my chances of getting job as assistant professor at a good institute.
kindly share your experience with the course.
thanks!
Like with all good things, many make the absolute worst of it.
It's growingly common practice in my batch at JGLS for able bodied students to obtain a "fake DSC." I personally know of students who suffer from no actual ailment but do have an extra friendly family doctor who can tinkeringly create whatever is needed. These students then use the committee to claim relaxations such as alternative assessments, extended submission timelines, extra time for in person exams, and the worst of all, I have seen students bring internet enabled laptops to physical mid term examinations, and ai their way through the same paper everyone else is writing (with extra time too). Of course it is undeniable that there are disabilities that are not visible, and I am not judging students for not having a visible disability. I just personally know and have heard students admit, with some pride even, on how they gamed the system with their DSC support, without actually having a condition or needing support. Since grading is relative, these relaxations really do have quite an impact, and in addition to the general student body, it's the students with genuine, especially non visible disabilities, who now get to deal with more side-eye every time they use the support they're entitled to.
