All this is obvious. Repeating this is unhelpful and a waste of time. I've had enough of it, I have. I'm fighting fire with fire (online, when I am overseas and sometimes in person, when I am in India) when I come across it. I am hitting back with substance rather than ad hominem when I can. Recently was delighted to see, for example, a kid from our part of the world (from Bangladesh, not India, to be perfectly accurate) educated in Britain and the U.S. calling out a prominent NLU "human rights person" from talking nonsense about Jurisprudence (with actual logic and substance, attacking the argument rather than the guy posting it) and that NLU prof having to shut down his LinkedIn account for a while. Just shows the counter to the rhetoric about people going abroad being unserious, partying types. Sure, there are such people (Jindal students being paradigmatic examples), but people, for their own reasons, like to conflate everyone with Jindal.

Yes, it's the bitter truth. You guys lack either the grades or the networks or the money to go abroad, be it for work or study. Hence the constant hate comments and sarcasm against people who do. Even Sudhir Krishnaswamy is not spared! Your lack of academic achievement or wealth or privilege is making you toxic and jealous, when what you should be doing is trying to look at constructive ways in which you can succeed in India. There are enough lawyers with only a local LLB who have done well. You are also welcome to augment your LLB with an MBA from an IIM or ISB, if you have the drive and ambition. Or try for UPSC or judicial services.

Shed the constant negativity. It's not good for your physical or mental health. Think positive and you too will be happy and successful.

Hi, I am a 3rd year law student at SLS-Noida who is fascinated by competition law. I want to know-

1. Scope of competition law in career as an associate and would I actually get jobs in future?

2. How to build a career in it.

3. What all laws should I read?

I fail to understand what is keeping all these seniors partners from leaving this place. Do they have no dignity? No self worth or self esteem?

Why are they tolerating all this BS when they can very easily step out.

Mumbai office is entirely being run by BJ and his partners. All he need to do is to dissociate himself from S&P and rename the office from S&P to J&P. I'm certain almost all Mumbai partners, entire admin team, and even some Delhi partners will stick with him instead of staying back at S&P.

Reason: He actually has clients (and good ones). He has the business mindset, he knows how to generate revenue and despite being so senior, he always treats even his juniormost associates professionally and with respect. MS on the other side, doesn't even respect the senior partners. He thinks everyone is his slave.

At this point, it's kinda embarrassing to tell anyone that we work at S&P, after all that Legally speaking fiasco and now this. He never learns from his mistakes.

@BJ - this is my genuine advise and request that you break out and make your own firm. Nothing needs to be changed, except the name of the office. Entire staff, entire team, everyone is going to stay with you. You just need to take this bold step.

look at the Academic council of NUJS. Bulk of them are insiders :https://www.nujs.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/AC_new.pdf

barring SKD and Sinha the rest of the outsiders are are people who are hardly known.

may be the deteriorating academic standards are a product of the quality of insiders the place has.

The parameters are very real, you're just mad that GNLU can't crack any of those. Impact from research papers works the same way all over the world. Places where those get published, citations etc. If you are coming up with random ways to judge quality of research, then that's what is arbitrary. As for faculty quality, I have met with most of the faculty from both the places and there is not a single good quality teacher that GNLU has. The relevance of non-law firm placement is beyond you, because you don't even have a clue what alternate career law grads can have. You need better education to be aware of such things. In law firm placements too, NUJS has always been ahead of GNLU anyway. Newer NLUs working their way up? GNLU has been around for almost 2 decades now. Never has it come close to NUJS in any of the parameters related to education. So cope and seethe.

GNLU is sanghi and so they get rankings of higher marks each time and NUJS is the only NLU with human rights track and history. NIRF sabotages NUJS becuase of this one reason. GNLU is pro capitalism consumerism and so they are going up on perception score but NUJS is on the right side of humanity. Has anyone in GNLU ever held a pro palestine or lgbt protest? not even a chance.

"haven't ever" maybe work on the grammar first instead of making up arbitrary parameters? Has there been measurable societal impact from the research papers? How have you conducted a 1:1 mapping of faculty quality? What's the relevance of "non-law firm placement"? Hurts to see your legacy institute fade away in front of newer NLUs working their way up?

💯. And that's why it's frustrating to see the far-left NLU protestors. You know that they will swerve rightwards when they end up joining law firms! Wish we had a time machine, where the grown-up version of these kids would go back in time and tell them: "Communism is a joke, you fool!" 🙈

Weirdly, this entire question is just based on "vibes", starting with "i think" "will lean" "not even 0.1%" etc., and not on any observation of fact or reality of law schools, hell even personal interaction with different political views in the legal community.

OP clearly misunderstands that even conservative personalities by "liberal strongholds" are very few and far in between in comparison to their total intake of students. Most importantly, the post clearly misunderstands the fact that there are conservative views held by lawyers and law students in almost every NLU. Just because the views are not widely held does not mean the views are non-existent, it mostly means that the person advocating for such views is not doing a good job in supporting and defending his views thus is not considered good enough to be supported or given limelight, or in some cases even if the "conservative" view on certain situation is really bad thus is not supported.

Not Sudhir, the troll calls him "Messiah". Also belittles everything Sudhir has done and says his new NLU alumni faculty hires are "privileged", "overrated", "savarna" etc. Thankfully, people have now reognised this troll's BS for what it is.

did a two months internship here, the timing for everyone INCLUDING AN UNPAID INTERN were 9-7. I am in my 5th year and have done my fair share of internships but have never had such horrendous timings and to add to that you can only take 2 days off in a month because apparently work force doesn’t get sick.

Respect!🫡 Chad!

Reinforces that STEM is the way to go to make a lot of money young. Finance and MBA too. Don't think law comes close. We really need to reform the Indian legal system and give young lawyers more opportunities to make it big. They won't make as much money as Silicon Valley bros, but let them at least make enough to own a Merc and a good apartment by age 30/35?

If you have already had a good legal education already then it won't make you better at legal analysis (debatable how much it would help even if you have had a poor education). Would be good for networking I suppose and would also be a good addition to your CV if you want to litigate in the UK. However, in India it really won't be of much use besides signalling your privilege. May help you to get into the chambers of senior advocates but you can do that even without a BCL.

One - the bench wasn't led by DYC. Probably, he was junior most, I think.

Two - You aren't coming from a neutral space, you have a clearly biased view towards one side of the litigants and a possible fan worshipping for DYC.

And that's what all your statements are for.

Neither the one who made the post nor its commentators really went into the law. So I will do that, keeping other questions aside.

Curative petition can be filed on very limited grounds. The grounds to find it have to be found in the judgment, not by comments of its authors.

The intention of the legislature, for instance, has to be decided from the words in the statute, not a minister's address in the Parliament. (That's also one of the ways, but not the first way. )

If someone has to file curative, they'll have to find the grounds in the words of the judgment. Not in the words of the author given in the interview.

Buddy sorry you're clearly ill-informed about why Nakul became a KC. It was only for his int'l arbitration credentials in arbitrations based out of the UK - had nothing to do with his litigation or advisory practice, because he doesn't have any in the UK. Contrast this with GS's presence in the UK - the man barely does any arbitration based out of the UK, and will do even less of that now that he's moved to India (because of the non-dom abolition). Appreciate your confident answer, but it doesn't reflect any knowledge of how the KC application form looks like, or how the interview for a KC works.

I have been working as a legal consultant in for a real estate firm. One fine day one of my relative who works as a sales manager in a real estate firm, approaches me with a proposal to start a channel partner company (real estate broker). Thereafter, I started researching about it, I get to know that this is a typical percentage-based broker business having good returns after closing high value deals in city like Mumbai. Considering the factor that he is a leading sales manager and I being the real estate lawyer could be the perfect mix of leaders to start our Entrepreneural journey and scale it to unparallel heights through our skill, expertise and knowledge of real estate industry. After considering all the factors and risks involved I left me reputed legal profession and started as a sales manager with a view to gain some expertise in sales and marketing profile for one year before starting our own venture. After joining the job, I am now getting mixed feelings, not because I'm not doing good in it but because I feel the loss of dignity, respect and social status I use to have as a lawyer. My family and wife have gone against me. I feel now that I have downgraded my profile and made a wrong decision as I am sitting and surrounded by people who are much less educated than me and lack class and wisdom. Though I am a misfit here, the only thing keeping me going in this profile is my larger objective to start an entrepreneurial journey. In view of the aforesaid, I am now confused as to whether I should face the brunt and risks coming in path to become an entrepreneur or shall I get back to my legal dignified reputed legal profession and continue to climb a stable, risk-free, secure corporate ladder. Note-financial status is ok, not sound.
