I'm sure we all can find a consensus that some laws are a must for every lawyer in India, whether you're in a firm or under a senior or having your own practice in litigation.
1. Constitution

2. CrPc/BNSS

3. IPC/BNS

4. IEA/BSA

5. CPC, Limitation
6. TPA

6. Registration Act

7. Stamps Act

8. Court Fee Act of your respective state or the 1970 model
9. Companies Act/Income Tax Act (Debatable)

What else can be added to the list of 'must keep in mind' legislations?

While their efforts to build a sustainable culture and retain the workforce are commendable, there is a pressing need to improve compensation and introduce a structured band system. This would help ensure that an individual’s capabilities are not unfairly judged solely against the paycheck they receive. Moreover, some partners need to move away from being overly judgmental or disingenuous—genuine collaboration is the only way to build lasting bonds. Most of the current employees feel that the culture of constant flattery and boot-licking must come to an end if we truly wish to create a healthier and more respectful workplace.

Then I stand corrected. The guy is superb. Ever since he stopped being a minister, he was back to private practice but extremely selective. And the guy is thorough. Few years back, an acquaintance briefed him for a tax matter. Very detail oriented, wanted to see everything. Heard that the briefing went on for nearly 12 hours. I did hear that he put up a masterclass in Delhi HC in GST anti profiteering matters in the second go. But hadn't recently heard much about him appearing, except a stray case here and there.

He is brilliant. With age, he has slowed down in terms of volume of matters. He is still very sharp and can swing matters with his quiet dignity, poise and intellect. He is the only one I have ever briefed who can flawlessly dictate written submissions / note on arguments etc. with virtually no corrections needed thereafter. An inspiration.

Chidambaram is well known to be selective about the kinds of briefs he takes, such that I've heard him described as a brief a day man. In addition, he is old and not that active. Whenever he appears in the Supreme Court, I haven't seen a retinue of associates with him, which is something I've been intrigued by. Hopefully someone else can weigh in with more details.

He is very selective about the briefs he takes. Doesn't have juniors as such.

He Recently appeared for Adani in SC. Appears for Vedanta in selective cases. Almost only appears in Commercial matters or Constitutional matters with a commercial / financial tinge.

Had the opportunity to brief him, he was extremely sharp and no-nonsense.

I would like to reiterate what I mentioned earlier in another thread avoid getting hired directly by a junior / salaried partner (who bears your financial cost). When targets are not met, it is your job that will be at risk, not theirs. Especially in firms like SAM, where many salaried partners add little real value

What are your opinions on this. have seen large teams led by senior equity partners with many junior partners who are completely dependent on the senior for getting work. Especially in firms like SAM where the salaried partners run the show and handle all the execution so they barely get the time to do BD. They also seem like too complacent and can't get themselves out of the senior partner's umbrella.

Nlu meg. Conduct written exam and on this merit conduct personal interview (online) than prepare final admission merit. Test difficulty level is more higher than clat. Education system is based on trimaster system,it is good for education in modern time. Study scenario better than other nlu.

I was in NALSAR when the VS thing blew up. And an inquiry did take place. I never saw the report because students are never given one by the admin. But I was told that LI somehow got a copy and did an extensive series. Following this inquiry, which three up several names, including VCV, another inquiry was initiated which was led by the then state bar council president or some honch, who later became a CJ somewhere. So it is untrue that an inquiry never took place. AD made sure that VS wouldn't have an untainted exit.

And what did those guts achieve? JNU is now packed with folks you don't like, rightly or wrongly, in positions of influence, including the VC. And JU is is a terrible flux and this too shall fall. It already has a 90% domicile and state for political reasons did not allow it to secure IoE status while simultaneously reducing funding.

Kindly take your poorly disguised political spiel elsewhere. The apolitical student association has had a good run this far at NUJS. Yes, we should all throw out the current lot at SJA for misleading us. And now if this 16 cr surplus instead of a 7cr deficit as claimed by SJA without docu evidence is true, then this SJA should be disbanded.

If LI keeps the archive links alive then you will find an article on an inquiry by judges at NALSAR. It wasn't a one off story but series. It eventually led to multiple departures from Hyd. I said VCV name had cropped up but Hyd did not go deeper unlike say what PIB had to do under pressure. AT NUJS, the Justice Mathur inquiry did not take names but concluded that financial lapses had taken place. But it was the subsequent Cal HC appointment Justice Sinha inquiry that went deeper and took names.

" relevancy on the global stage"!!! "rising star with potential to give the best in class a hard time" !!! what are you guys smoking? granted that NUJS does get a lot of, I mean a lot of law firm placements. but apart from that its nothing. there isn't one single prof. there who is known anywhere on the global stage. and you have some rather particular chaps who write and their works are up on the internet for the world to see. sorry to break your illusions, but universities are known on the global stage for its research output. NUJS has some jokers masquerading as professors.

Can attest to this. Idk who you are but I would surely know you. The exit of the said partner was well warranted. Although to add, the exit at medium and senior levels is not new, there had been partner exits as well in recent past.

Mumbai team is good to start with, esp if you're going for insurance disputes. They also had some aviation law (read: civil recovery) matters and were looking to expand that.

If in Delhi, Solaris, which is started by ex-TC stars is a much better option for disputes.

So I am a student who just graduated from a rather new off campus college of a renowned university. My interest lies in General Corp. I have been finding it so difficult to get a job. I have done sufficient internships at good T1-T3 firms and boutique firms as well and i am with a good range of transactions. My grades are also not poor per se. I am willing to work hard and dedicate myself for the job. I dont really care about work life balance or toxicity. I have started to feel really demotivated and i dont know what to do.

Hi, I want to know opportunities at A0 levels. I work in a tier 1 firm in banking practice area. I want to switch while having same quality of work but a bit relaxed life, not the fast paced life which Mumbai offers. I can understand paycut, but let it still be competitive.

I understand Legalogic is major player in Pune market, so folks kindly help in shedding some light with respect to lateral shift.

Thank you ;((, but I make so may efforts at dressing and communication but people refuse to make eye contact and always have this wierd partially angry-totally disgusted look when I talk to someone. Forget romantically, but normal conversations result in me being called a creep and I should stay away from so and so person (who I havent even conversed with ever). I see people around me being in friend groups but I feel so left out, can this affect my work assignment and how I would come across? I have pursued a few surgeries but it costs a forture to fully change

I am in the top 10 of my class inspite of getting 0-1s in my presentations because i perform well in my exams. Also I am sharing my experiences, Im sure most people arent at this level of ugliness where your mom and dad call you the "ugly kid who didnt have to be born" or every moment of reaction and anger is directed to physical attributes "why did you add that late, aagaya apni gandi shakal leke" or just random people coming to me and saying "I dont know where you get the confidence with that face" or school teachers saying "despite being bad at looks, he excels in grades and exams you all are gifted etc.", Also the comments on videos I happen to be in, are VERY sad.

No NLUs are turning RW because the left has a chokehold on all NLUs. However, one law school that has sharply turned RW is JGLS. During the Congress years, it was heavily LW and Naveen Jindal was even a Congress MP. Now, Naveen Jindal has become a BJP MP and JGLS is literally a BJP outpost. The VC has no ideology of his own and is merely following Naveen Jindal's orders.
