Given that some people do this- but isn’t it also true that firms assign “urgent” work (only to be reviewed a week later) at 7 pm (after wasting the entire day on nothing)? Or give work on weekends? I started off at my T1 as an early bird but their “urgent” and late night culture made me come in to the office by 11.30 AM. If you won’t let me have my evening, (and ofcourse i need some time for family/gym/etc), I by coming late in the morning!

I do not work at Saraf. But this was the policy when I was at Luthra. What is wrong with this? If associates are not attending office on time, or their is a gap in the billable hours, any Managing Partner would issue such a communication.

I also find the manner in which OP copy-pasted the entire email to be in extremely poor taste. If you have a problem with that MP or the Firm, just leave.

Basically,it's been one month into a random no name law school- but they push us to write 1 research paper per subject EACH semester (that's 6) and they said we'll only get full marks if they're published so I figured I should try to start publishing. Anyway me and a few of my friends got published in some ( what seems to me as pay publishers) journals- IJLRA IJLLR and IJIRL- but I feel like paying 800 every single time I need to publish seems pricey. Not to mention, the ones I found from NLUs seem to ask for application fees? also I know its hard to get published in the first year so I want some tips and recommended journals to apply for publication.
Thank you.

Another squandered opportunity (▮▮▮?) by SJA to ▮▮▮

I am a 2024 law graduate from a top tier law school and had joined a T1 law firm and worked there for about an year. I moved on from the firm due to toxicity and internal politics. Since then, I have been trying to land interviews at T1 and T2 law firms through Senior Advocates/ AORs (contacts of parents) who oblige by sharing my CV with a partner in the firm. The firms also oblige by taking my interview. However, things come to a standstill after that. My interviews are going really well, however the process hasn't reached a conclusive ending as I am yet to receive a offer letter. Do law firms avoid hiring sons/nephews of acquaintances/friends of Partners due to conflict of interest and their inability to fire them due to non perfomance at a later point of time? Please pitch in with your gyan. I am also wary of negative reviews by my previous firm. Are my fears unfounded?

I was an LLM candidate in NALSAR in last batch. Dogs had created mayhem in the campus and one such dog bit me without any provocation. I rushed to the healthcare, I was just told to wash the wound in casual manner (the protocol says was it with running water and soap continuously for at least 10-15 minutes- which I was not informed by the nurse and I only came to know about it later on when I out of anxiety researched about Rabies on internet). So, my initial first aid was not done nicely. Then when I asked for vaccination first nurse tried to persuade me to not take vaccination, as the wound is not serious. I was reluctant that I will get myself vaccinated, then she said come tomorrow, we don't have doctor now, he only will permit vaccination in the morning. I went to see the Doctor the next morning, initially he also said that no need of vaccine. But, later agreed to vaccinate me. He started my vaccination and gave me a chart, I was asked to report in the night of day 3, to take second dose without a miss. To my surprise when I reached at the stated time nurse again refused to vaccinate me as there was no doctor. I tried my best to explain her that dates can't be missed in rabies vaccination, but she kept saying, one day delay is not much! I showed her WHO guidelines, but she was reluctant. So, I decided to go to city to get myself vaccinates. I called one of my batchmate, who is from Hyderabad and has a car at campus to help me. He said that first let him talk with the nurse, then only decide about the next step. With his better communication in Telugu and better persuasive quality, he was successful in making the nurse and doctor (on phone) agree to give me vaccine after I write an application that, if something happens I have sole responsibility. Then again I had to go on 7th day to take vaccine. On this day there was a lady doctor on duty. There were 2 more people in the PHC other than me who had to take rabies vaccine. She said I won't give you vaccine, you people deliberately get bitten by dog because vaccine is free here. We will make new rule that only first dose will be available here, other doses you will have to get from outside. She wasn't ready to give us vaccine. When I saod okay in that case I am going to meet Registrar and VC did she agree to give us vaccine, but her behaviour towards us was such that she thinks us to be criminals. Somehow, they completed my vaccination on time with much more tantrums. Night duty Doctor doesn't see patients after 10, and usually there are only nurses in the PHC if you go at the night.

Anytime such a tragedy happens, students post on LI with their personal agendas trying to target the admin. Please stop this. Yes, what happened is very sad, but there are thousands of premature deaths that happened in the world. People have various undiagnosed and congenital conditions.

Nothing much will happen since the parents apparently do not suspect foul play. Remember how the NLUJ student "suicide" was dealt by the courts and the investigating agencies? It was processed to become a cold case. Such is the fate of most cases. Inquiry often isn't about finding the "truth". It is mostly a risk management thing for the powers that be even when no malice is involved.

Sidlu is a great mentor, provided you are thick skinned and can handle his temper. But really he has done so much for his juniors, gives independent matters, helped setup chambers for them, paid out of his pocket for their offices, recently organised a lavish soirée for his 5-6 chamber juniors who got designated by the DHC. So maybe keep a longterm vision and just handle the screaming, cussing and flying SCCs coming your way. Hang in there!!!

I agree EC is full of grandees who kinda end up protecting the VC till they cannot when faced with incriminating documentation. Then the VC becomes the fall guy but given off ramps such as being allowed to resign or leave with appreciation being recorded in minutes; inquiries into alleged illegalities killed off or no follow up action when inquiries actually conclude with inconvenient findings, names and recommendations and so many other ways of letting the corrupt calculi to fester. But that doesn't mean that NKC was a mere puppet and lacked agency. He just couldn't come good on the promises that matter to the powers that be.

You seem rather sure that taking silk in London was ever GS Sir’s “dream.” If you know this for a fact, then either cite the source or seek it out before posting. Otherwise, this reads as idle trolling — the voice of an insecure critic, envious and resigned to never matching GS Sir’s stature as counsel.

Lol, every exam is an aptitude test. CAT is an aptitude test- noone in right mind would equate CS with an IIM Ahmedabad MBA, would he/she/they? If anything, aptitude test is a better judge of IQ- I do not know if you are aware but in older days, IQ tests were taken to judge a person's suitability for most jobs.

Lol....I am a National Law Schoolite and a rank Holder CS....I would not even call CS as even approaching a tough exam. The pass percentages even in professional stage are upwards of 30%
