If you're really junior, I would take a beat and assess whether you have all the pieces of the puzzle to conclude that your senior is wrong. We often take positions that are beneficial to our clients, which may not per se be correct but may fit into an overall legal strategy. Frequently, seniors who regularly appear before certain judges have a sense of what idea they may successfully pitch to a judge, even if that idea is not per se correct*. There can be cases where the answer is black and white, such as limitation, jurisdiction, court fee, roster or maintainability. These inputs you should feel free to give to your senior, if you're sure about them. If your senior does not take the input, be humble enough to see that maybe you don't see the whole picture and drop the issue then. At a later point you can bring it up again.

If you are afraid of offending your senior, then always pose a correction as a doubt that you have regarding your own understanding of the issue. Example: "I thought it should be X instead of Y due to Z reasons, but that is incorrect right?" If your senior is paying attention to what you are saying, then this should be enough for him to realise the incorrect nature of his own view.

Last time the teachers were very concerned about the biometric attendance thing. Not all though. Some saw more profit in WEBEL securing the contract because just with PWD no one scrutinizes the downstream contracting.

So the teachers upset with biometric scrutiny, riled up the students on other issues as well as how attendance tightening could have negative implications for students too.

While the students rightly went after PIB for dodgy CCTV deals etc, the biometric thing got waylaid. Teachers got their work done and students realised much later that shots were fired from their shoulders.

Same thing this time as well although I fully support the eviction of NKC. But the root and stem survive. Wonder what students will do about that.

Apparently an recently resigned EC member upset for being eased out along with his Guru insisted that truancy among certain faculty has been on for a long time but ever since the Professorial promotions got done, it has gone out of control.

EC agreed to bring in new rules concerning faculty discipline. It is in this that the old PIB proposal on biometric attendance got dovetailed with BCI directive on attendance

wow, triggered are we :P

you must be in the cartel which the person above mentioned, rarely seen on campus but getting a fat paycheck at the end of the month, materials not updated since pandemic, with published research so poor that even the NUJS regulatory journal will not publish but will count for API

Been re-watching the Big Short and learning a lot about the trends on the stock market. I would love to learn more about the legal facet and the repercussions of the failing of the market. All the credit swaps and agreements that stated that in case the mortgage bond fails, the repayment would be done with an insane premium. I'd love a discussion or just learn what were the repercussions when Goldman Sachs actually lost out on so much money, what would have been the instance of a default?

Would love to be referred to some reading material also. Explain like I'm 5, lol. Thank you!

Trilegal put out a statement in an interview about a Chennai Office opening in 3 months in June. Considering we are a week away from November, has the plans to start an office been scrapped considering no communication or even announcement of partner or office space has been made?

Trilegal has a band system. I think KCO also has a band system. All the other firms fix your retainer on your last drawn salary, giving you a 20-25% hike. It might be more depending on your partner and your negotiation skills. However, you will be brought to parity during the review cycle if your performance is good.

Otherwise it's quite common for A1/A2 to be earing less than home grown associates.

In most T1s they deduct two years from your experience when you are moving as a lateral. Your pay would be based on the deducted experience. There is a wide gap between the lower limit and the upper limit of the pay scale where the discretion of your hiring partner and thier budget comes in.

Recently shifted to mac (m4) from HP Envy (which is almost the same price as Mac Air). Mac is definitely worth the shift with the security, airdrop, and the tag feature that has helped me immensely with the file management. Mac is also more secure, and overall the Apple ecosystem is actually worth it when most of your work is saving, reading PDFs and involves drafting on word. HP has the worst customer service and even their high end laptop had consistent issues. Working on pdfs is also a lot more convenient on mac.

I think a macbook air is a great fit for you, if budget is an issue then you can also go for the M3 or M2 which will also work just as great as the latest M4. I am assuming that you are a student, as you mentioned that you will be starting in a few months so now is a good time for you to shift because you can buy it with you student ID discount (you will be able to get in around 65k-80k) which imo is a great price given that laptops last around 5 years and you already have an ipad so you be able to access all your documents if they are saved on one device.

Only problem here is that you will have to buy a Word subscription (You can use web version for free, but as someone who has used the app for years, I just find the web version uncomfortable to work on). If that price is not an issue for you then you should totally go ahead with a Macbook. Get a good protection sleeve and go for silver colour only because on all the other colours scratches are prominent (even on lighter ones).

The application form specified that the acceptance will be conveyed by 17th Oct and people have received confirmation for Winter Months.

Sorry for this bad news mate, I am everything will work put for you perfectly in the end, don’t take it to heart if you did not receive one.

You are engaging in deliberate misconstruction! All I am saying is that your arguments are expressed with such an overtone of bitterness that you seem to have an agenda of some sort other than intellectual armchair discussion in the abstract.

LSAT may not be an "entrance exam" the way that the CLAT is, but you know perfectly well that people whose scores are below a certain level, regardless of other achievements, won't dare apply to Yale or Harvard. I believe that cutoff is generally understood to be 165 or 170.

This is definitely toxic, inappropriate and not normal.

I have interned in multiple firms and have now worked in Tier 1 firms for more than a decade. The brand of the firm is not always representative of the team's work culture. Within the same firm, you could have nicer teams and teams that have horrible work culture. My go-to tip would be to pick the team (if you have the ability to exercise a choice).

I understand if you don't feel like working/ interning with other tier 1 firms but please don't get discouraged on the basis of this experience. Majority of people who have become successful in tier 1 firms, have had humble beginnings and also come from middle class backgrounds and tier 2/3 cities.

Wish you the best and hope you find your way to nicer work environments.

So I was interning at a T-1 firm and few days in, the way I was made to feel in that place was unbearable. I personally feel the judgement and the outsider treatment came from the fact that I come from a middle class family unlike people who were a part of this team who were loaded AF. On top of that incredibly crass comments were made about me to my face, calling me 'uptight' and not 'flexible enough'

Also, people started shipping me with a male associate who frequently assigned me work. I overheard some seniors even tell this guy and I quote, "enjoy, till she is here". On top of that things like 'oh wow, you're so diligent' (sarcastically) Other women (middle class or not), please tell me this isn't normal, because if it is I want to quit.

P.S: And yes this is a T-1 firm. One of those hallowed places that people die to work at.

I have no idea about hiring and Tri’s internal decision rn. However, I would suggest you to not panic (most difficult thing I know) and have faith. Ofc be prepared, in case things go awry but also don’t overthink any cue, especially because it’s diwlai so this just might be delayed.

Best way rn is to call the HR and ask them about what to expect. I was in a similar situation, not wrt hiring but I made myself so anxious for two weeks and ruined my other interviews after overthinking based on some rumours and thinking that they rejected me, only to receive a late confirmation! If only, I had stayed grounded, I am sire I would have cracked the other one as well because I had the knowledge but the probability of rejection affected my self confidence while I knew everything on my CV and carries good knowledge of the subject.

I had interviews at Trilegal in july then gave the second interview in August (its october now, we are in the thick of the diwali week), I heard from them in September that they have paused hiring because they are shifting offices but they have not rejected me yet and have only received good feedback from the partners but asked me to wait till october. I contacted them in the first week of october and was told that they will have to confirm with admin when they can do the hiring and reaffirmed the fact that i received positive reviews from teh partners and asked me if i have any other offers and i told them that i am in the process with sam. I am extremely interested in trilegal and want to know everyone's thoughts on this - what to expect? And, everyone's experience with tier 1 firms' hiring?

Why should a public servant get any fancy car at the taxpayers' expense is what my question is. If they want to buy one on their own, then they are free to do so if they can afford it. Why should we pay for anything more than what's adequate for taking them from point A to point B?

See the performance of the Lokpal:

Among the 620 orders available on the website, ThePrint found five cases in which the Lokpal granted prosecution sanction, with three of these orders involving bank officials.

(Source: https://theprint.in/judiciary/five-years-on-lokpal-is-now-god-of-small-things-its-been-catching-tiny-fish/2681750/).

The economics of lokpal doesn't justify the cost incurred on it.

Armed forces are very corrupt- defence procurements evidence that. And I am not talking about the junior officers like havaldar, etc who are honest. I am talking about the higher ups.

Don't call me an anti national, those who eat money meant for weapons are the biggest anti nationals!

you get a stipend only if you're from a T-1

for real estate, there are no vacancies. There are 3-4 Projects PE/VC teams. AN is the best of them. DC is the worst- stay far away from them.

Else, it's an okayish place. You're expected to be there around 10:30-11. There's a canteen at the rooftop, has few options and mid-veg food. Not many options around office either. Interns generally leave by 7:30, unless you end up in a bad team that makes you work till late.

Honestly yes but it depends on your luck also like which team you got allotted too what time of the year you were interning in. Its looks good on your CV for sure the chances of you getting shortlisted increases during placement. But also the truth help you till their only nothing more than that if you are not good enough yourself then nobody can save you. Try squeeing the most out of it while you are interning and just be there for the certificate.
