how easy would it be to get back into the field after working for 1 year with somebody who has gone independent? like many people from smaller colleges/unknown colleges (no offence) make there way into the field. so like is like too improbable or what?

i have seen people working with someone in chambers and then moving to corporate or in house? like they do it so we can too, right? i mean that one year of work ex could be our reset??? or are we doomed??

Please justify why you singled out one judge to name. And if you have evidence for naming, please publish else this is defamation and slander. LI Mods - please remove this comment, which shouldn't have passed moderation at the first instance. This is without making any statement on whether the judge can or can not be the person who did this.

I read that english lawyers working in American based law firms earn between 150000 to 179000 pounds per year after trainee contracts but barristers after their pupillage in top commerical chambers like one essex earn around 360000 pounds in their first year and 475000 pounds in their second year what's the reality? Does this mean that top King 's counsel would easily earn 15 to 20 million pounds every year ?

It’s high time we have a policy of one family one reservation, plus one life one reservation, plus rural-first reservation. It means:

- if one of your parents obtained a job through reservation, you should not be allowed to avail of reservation. Otherwise, children of IAS officers will monopolise jobs, instead of poor people in rural areas (from the same community).

- you can only exercise a shot at reservation once. For example if you enter NLSIU using reservation, you cannot use it again to apply for government jobs.

- reservation should be given to urban citizens only if no rural citizen has applied for the same slot.

These policies will maximise the benefits of reservation among such communities.

if you dont study- you wont crack anything- in any field. you think theres no competition in stem careers? or do you think that IITs are easy to get into? or that there isnt a drop off in education standards between IITs and private universities? do you think coders starting out earn much money these days?

I was not saying to completely do away with classes. But classes, after a point, become less relevant. 4th year and 5th year can be devoted particially to apprenticeship and partiallly to a few subjects. I vhecked the British system, they do have a 3 year law degree and a professional education after that. Ideally, our 5 year course can easily apply that but all of the 5 years are spent on campus.

Any educational degree & especially LLB degree should be allowed in online & even in distance mode. Classrooms are OBSOLETE. Only desperate & insecure professors are making people attend by force. These SoB do not want to get that if teaching is good, people will rush for it. Let people have classroom who want but don't cling on others. A fresh law grad from anywhere is not anyway good enough to get even a circulation, forget about arguing the matter.

Yeah. This happens. You just have it backwards. SoBo is densely populated by Marwaris - Gujuratis. Mumbai T1 is mostly Marwaris - Gujuratis fare. Those aligned or allied with them succeed.

You can confirm this exercise by taking a mental asesssment of fee earners and administrative staff in your firm. You will see the administrative staff is largely Maharashtran whereas fee earners are Marwaris and Gujaratis.

See how things change but remain the same despite the firms sending rainbow adorned emails and making claims of becoming less of a boys club and valuing diversity? The real issues don't crop up in culture debates.

Now there will be some pointed exceptions perhaps here and there. There will be reasons for it. But the river largely flows in one direction. Why? Guess what is the profile of clients. Yes, you guessed it - its Marwaris and Gujaratis.

Now you may argue saying there are a lot of international institutions. But who are the folks manning the international institutions here. This business is a relationship business. Clients want familiarity as familiarity breeds trust.

What you do get in Bombay over Delhi is a lot more client facing roles. By not being one of the Mr Jains or Mr Shahs or Mehtas you actually stand out. If you get a chance to be in the room in the first place.

So little point in complaining. The odds you face are the odds you face. The smart thing to do is to figure out how to align with them carefully. Also, be careful - you maybe blind to some of Delhi's own biases. Delhi has its own Punjabi cliques.

You need to leverage what you have - on average - many feel the Delhi lawyer is more street smart. The exposure to litigation is useful even in transaction work, it you are in the corporate side. Use that to impress clients.

To be clear street smart doesn't mean stabbing your colleagues in the back. Please note you will see a lot that happens in Bombay T1 sponsored Hunger Games. Good luck Mr. Lateral at T1.

This definitely is a thing. SoBo and generational wealth are treated differently v/s people who stay elsewhere or moved to the city for work. For all the casual vibe Mumbai claims to have, its a hypocritical POS city. Agree that this culture is not there in Delhi. Its their equivalent of pure blood and mud bloods. Funny thing is this is moreso found only in lawyers of Mumbai, and not other professions. Makes sense tho, lawyers are the least sharper and smarter compared to other white collar professions (engineers, CAs, doctors, etc.)., and dim folk tend to engage in such practices to feel better about themselves.

You're mistaken.

I am from the batch of 2025 at a private law school. I have done really well in some international moots, have national and international publications and have interned at multiple law firms, yet I'm still unemployed. Unfortunately our college placement scene is not that great and despite our Placement Committee trying very hard, we did not get good opportunities through college. I'm extremely depressed and don't know what to do in life. I have been working really hard since the past two years, trying constantly to upgrade my CV and even almost got placed at a tier one (was told at the very end that they won't hire). I genuinely don't know what to do in life. I'm so scared of what's gonna happen. I really want to be placed at any law firm, preferably in Bangalore, but don't know which firms are still hiring. My family's financial situation is not that great. I'm so done with life and I don't have it in me to keep going anymore. I can't keep interning only to hear a no from them at the end.

Pls help.

LOLZ...They are launching the institute tomorrow, with the US Embassy staff turning up in full force. But no one from the Indian government is coming, because they are angry and disgusted at how Trump has been treating India. Expect fireworks tomorrow from the few Indians speakers who are showing up! 🤣

College sucks balls. They claim to have got the placements for students in trilegal and fox mandal but nah, they were students who got it by themselves.

There are so many from BO 26 who have interned in top tier places and they all did it by their own merit.

There is absolutely no incentive for any firm to come and hire from our college because the crowd sucks worse than the management.

I can assure you that 90% of them won't know the different kinds of writs.

I interned there this february for one month in the corp branch, work env was not toxic, but at that point there was not much work. But I do think one should try for tempus or a good chamber in Hyderabad for that matter. I mean there was too much free time some days, never a good sign.

Stop the unnecessary idealism. Make use of your privilege. Do good with it for society if you have qualms. But if not you, someone else using their privilege will get ahead. And then what they do with that privilege - self-gain or societal value - is not in your hands. So use the privilege. And then do good.

I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to make a career for yourself on your own. From what I understand, the only unclear variable is the salary which you will get at this Delhi law firm. With regards to the questions which your family ask you, it is not that difficult to understand the cost of living in Delhi. Have you looked at potential places to stay and their rent? It should be fairly simple to draw a rough estimate of what your monthly expenditure will look like. In any case, I would assume that your family is quite well off due to which money should not be a problem (assuming you are not averse to taking financial help from your parents).

I am son of a retired High Court Judge, but I never want anyone to think that my achievements in life are result of me solely being connected to a powerful person. That is why I made a promise to myself, that I will leave my Parent HC and practice in the Delhi High Court. I received an offer letter from a recently opened Law Firm however, they have not disclosed their salary to me.

Every time I get into a discussion about this with my family, I do not have any answers to their practical and much warranted questions like - How would you manage in a city like Delhi and all by yourself? Or whether you would be able to make it on the whatever little salary they would offer?

I am afraid that if I join any place on the basis of their recommendation, I would be looked down upon and since I am just a beginner, I know I don’t know many things which people might expect me to know.

So should I just choose a chamber on the basis of the recommendations given by my father or am I being foolish by opting to choose to go on my own way, and working for a small law firm?

Don't blame others if you don't have a vernacular province to be proud off and it is a college literally run by government of Maharashtra it is a government college? Cultural committees will be promoted here obviously? Should've gone to some private unis if you had so much problem or nlus? Oh wait maybe you ain't smart enough to get into nlus or rich enough to get into private unis and then you come to government run college of a state and start whinning like a bitch because because they promote cultural things lmao grow up lil bro and I agree but will all the problems glc has but targeting one particular committee saying it's communal or what not pls you're a retard if you don't know what government run college means and what you were signing up for.

Example 1: Aarav’s rank makes him eligible for NLSIU in the merit list and SC list. Does NLSIU keep him in the merit list and admit an SC candidate headed to NALSAR? Or, does NLSIU keep him in the SC list and admit a merit list candidate headed to NALSAR?

Example 2: Kiara’s rank makes her eligible for NUJS in the merit list and Bengal domicile list. Does NUJS keep her in the merit list and admit a Bengal domicile candidate headed to NLIU Bhopal? Or, does NUJS keep her in the Bengal domicile list abs admit a merit list candidate headed to NLIU Bhopal?

Is there any policy on this? Does it depend on the VC of the concerned institution?

Despite assuming office in 2014 amid expectations of sweeping Thatcher-style liberalisation, the Modi government has largely steered clear of comprehensive structural reforms. Instead, it has pursued a dual-track model: favoured conglomerates have received land and regulatory concessions, while incremental changes—such as digitalised administration, faceless tax assessments, and streamlined approvals—have improved India’s rankings on the ease of doing business index. However, these have left deep-rooted inefficiencies in land, labour, and capital markets largely untouched.

Hey, I graduated in 2024 and have been preparing since 2023. Since the 3 year rule came into place, I am not really keen to denote 2 more years. I last interned in Jan 2023 and idk how to switch to a decent role that pays enough to cover rent and manage expenses. Litigation pays peanuts and I wanted to shift from home as it's getting too toxic for me. If there are any advices/links etc. that y'all can provide, I'd be grateful.

It has been damn frustrating and I do not want to pivot to UPSC/other exams as it is the same loop.
