Expect a big reshuffle in the NUJS governing bodies anytime between May and September next year -- regardless of whether the TMC wins or not.

How true is this claim? Can anyone say from personal experience?
Contacts are one-half of your practice. I used to think your calibre & acumen is the other half, but I'm not too sure of it; contacts are the other-half of your practice as well.
I have worked at someone's chamber and now have my independent practice for the last several years. There is no other answer to it, period. Hell, half of the questions asked in OP are inapplicable.
Now, I'm also pursuing a PhD at this tier 1 NKU. Should I move or should I stay? What do you folks at Legally India think.
Get a good criminal lawyer in Kathmandu who can help you.
Also, please apply for anticipatory bail if that is available under Nepal law.
About me: SA at T1 M&A practice, top 3 NLU grad.
Transport: cab

Hope to get some advice on upgrades needed once I’m in the PA league. What can in change/pickup? The Datejust set me back quite a bit so no prominent watch splurge any time soon.
Toodles.
Got an assessment with SAM (no internship history) in CM Mumbai. I’m in final year. Is it a good idea to take up SAMnow?

Point 1 which needs discussion : Employees of law firm who are using amorphous terms like Associates ; can they be treated as Advocates when essentially they are employees of their firm and are never independent in any sense, merely because they /their firm have coined term "Associates" for them ?
No rules. Keep accepting all our demands. Keep paying us. Don't expect us to work.
That's it.
