We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. How hard is it to start? Not very hard to start. You'll be mostly interacting with non-lawyers. They expect simple explanations on positions, risks, and a practical assessment from you. Your job is to enable them to make informed decisions.
2. Is it easy to switch practice areas? Its not exactly a cakewalk but not impossible either. Each industry has its own specialised laws, and switching between industries will require you to catchup with the laws/practices of the new one.
While some may claim Jindal has a lot of opportunities, that’s false. The opportunities are measly with more than 1000+ people competing. See inductions for Moot Court Society, ADR and Debate Society where more than a 1000 people apply and only 70 or so people get in not because they are the only ones competent but because the opportunities are not proportionate (and can never be because of the insane batch size).
Infrastructure is absolute trash compared to what you are paying. There in round the clock full year construction - things keep breaking down because they are old and not made to accommodate so many people and we have perhaps the smallest library from all of law schools.
Your peer group would be a bunch of entitled brat druggies who have close to no interest in what they are studying.
Professors (some) are amazing and are the only thing good about the college but even they are now leaving en masse because of shitty admin.
If you have the funds to comfortably study here, do join. It’s comfortable and has all basic amenities - unlike many government colleges. But if you can’t afford, it is most certainly NIt worth taking a loan for.
Like I have consumed an considerable amount of propaganda and it honestly feels like a really good law school.
If I want to go there I would need to incur a loan of 30-35 lakhs, more of all would it be a safety net. It is not the most sound financial decision to make but would I be able to salvage it by working my ass off and getting into a decent firm?
Would greatly appreciate your insight
And do a check at the ground level. Her atrocious comments now or earlier have been accepted by a large section of the population. As an astute politician she would have changed her utterances if she got a sense that it could cost her politically.
On a side note, Sagarika knows her well or at least saw with her own eyes what happened in a certain interview. And now see her defending CM on RG Kar etc. Ofc all for higher ideals of secularism etc.
Then again we have the saffronites and their highly problematic views on women and so many things. So we just move on.
Baaki un logo ko koi matlab nahi
Lots of interesting nuance - worth watching about his views on spineless judges, the first generation lawyers escapist labelling and the importance of character
Wanted to know pay, work quality, value, work-life balance and other aspects as compared to other firms.

Academic recruitment is practically impossible in the U.S. as well without a U.S. JD. Their unis have law PhD programmes called SJDs (or Doctorates of Juridical Sciences), mainly designed for foreign lawyers who took their legal training abroad. This is because the U.S. way of doing things is that suppose someone wanted to become an academic in law and philosophy, they would get a PhD in philosophy (not law) and a JD, which is a terminal degree there. So even though a U.S. LLM (or participating in the course work/credits equivalent of one) is a requirement to get into an SJD, that was unlikely in the extreme (even before the Trump regime) to lead to a U.S. job; now, nothing short of impossible. Even great scholars like NLSIU's Shyamkrishna Balganesh (now at Columbia), with Oxford BCL + Mphil kind of credentials under their belt, had to do JD to work in the U.S. (in Balganesh's case, for example, his JD (which he got after Oxford BCL + MPhil on the Rhodes Scholarship) is from Yale).

2. Coming to the "poorly worded" possibility mentioned above, that might be the case if you are counting the application fees or the tuition fee deposits as "donations". This would be a stupid thing to do, as you'd have to count then the fees for something like CLAT as well as "donations", and it would indicate that your understanding of trusts law needs looking into, which would be the consequence of attending most universities that you would classify as a "non-NLU college" (which itself is a reason to question (a) if you are qualified for an LLM anywhere in the world; and (b) even if you got into one, whether you should really do one). The deposits can potentially be waived off if you've gotten full funding, but you'd have to show your university a sponsorship letter in that event. Frankly, "▮▮▮
IP practice in third-world countries like India: 👎👎👎
That's the sad truth. Don't let this Vishwaguru talk fool you. We are totally third world, with minimal public and private sector spends on innovation and creativity. And IP practice will be a function of that.
They are on a hiring spree right now..
Hired around 4 people recently. Good luck!!!
the idea that IP is a growing field is not going to help. It might be growing but it is not complex enough for general litigants to do. Unfortunately the actual complex litigations - copyright & patent are hard to come by.
Is it a way for them to bypass the lockstep by having varying salaries for everyone? How exactly does it work? Can anyone provide any insights?
Also just retrace the road to elevation. Don't single him out because he is SC. While the colour of give and take will vary the game remains the same.
Btw what happened to the RSS invite to Gavai's mother for Vijaydashami? Did she attend.
