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.

Out of concern, I gently asked him why was he crying and co-incidentally, he was a law student who had just completed his 3 year llb course from a private college, and in a scared tone, he explained that he had failed to convert his law internship (1 month) into a pre-placement offer or even an assessment internship at mid-sized tier II law firm. He shared how he was the only son of a family, and belongs to a lower-middle class background, with limited contact in the legal industry. The pressure from his peers and family overwhelmed him, and he broke down further in tears.
As a lawyer who had faced similar struggle early in life, his pain felt personal. I shared my own story the trauma, the confusion, and the setbacks I endured and offered him some valuable advice on overcoming challenges and focusing on his goals.
But this isn't a story about how I helped someone. The real message here is about kindness. Everyone we meet is fighting their own battles, in most of the cases invisible to us. Taking just a moment out of our busy lives to offer support, encouragement, or even a kind word can make an immense difference to someone struggling.
So, next time you see someone in despair, pause. Be the hope they seek. Because in the end, if not us, then who?
All this is known. Precisely why not training people early to earn their own clients is doing a great disservice to them for their future.
Hiring people solely for executing matters and deliberately keeping them away from client engagements should be a red flag.
That is how this law firm world functions. Never trust a word uttered by senior management. Many are run like Ponzi schemes.
Below is the CBS transcript from the Raging Moderates podcast where she spoke. Don't just read half and give out hot takes.

"Honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war, where Putin is the aggressor, invading a neighbor country, trying to change the borders — if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate Putin's vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, something we haven't seen, but maybe this is the opportunity," Clinton said.
"To make it clear that there must be a ceasefire. There will be no exchange of territory. And that, over a period of time, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he's seized in order to demonstrate his good-faith efforts, let us say, not to threaten European security," she continued. "If we could pull that off, if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize, because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States. I think that's a terrible, terrible precedent."
Clinton added: "I'm dreaming that for whatever combination of reasons, including the elusive Nobel Peace Prize, President Trump may actually stand up to Putin on behalf of not just Ukraine and its democracy and its very brave people, but frankly, on behalf of our own security and interests."
Clinton on Friday said she hopes Mr. Trump remembers that he's at the very military base "that has to send up fighter planes to watch and fend off Russian bombers that routinely harass our military assets, do overflights, engage in provocative behavior in the skies above Alaska."
"I hope he's reminded of that," she continued. "He is not meeting with a friend. He is meeting with an adversary, and an adversary who hopes to play him. And the best thing that could come out of this, frankly, is probably nothing, nothing agreed to, except a real strengthening of President Trump's understanding that Putin is not someone you can make a deal with an expect it to last."

Hence, the number of places available will remain constant, while the number of aspirants and test takers will continue to increase by 10% - 15% every year. The competition will increase, so will the fees (cost of education) year on year.
Is taking a drop still a viable option?
Whatever it is you’re learning at your IB school- it still doesn’t help you crack a silly little exam called clat. Really it should be left hands play for folks who had that much advantage. You don’t crack clat- you go to Jindal. You know and I know and the world knows the rigor is not there. You pay ten lakhs a year you cannot buy an education but they will give you a degree. So you barely have skills or knowledge and you’re never hungry enough because everything in life has just been handed to you. So you stretch your arms out again for foreign llm. No one minds but you don’t study there either - you just waste the seat partying your face off and taking courses in bullshit. But it’s not like you got into a very selective program anyway- who cares if you spent a year at qmul or whatever. Will you get a job after that ? Considering you haven’t invested academically and a phd is not forthcoming if you don’t shell out more money ? You can try- come back and work at a Lala shop or at dads firm or heck go back and teach at Jindal cause what is it you’re supposed to do anyway ? And you soon find the rigours of work aren’t for you. So you’ll try and pass off the work of your juniors and your colleagues as your own. And dad will promote you when he has the chance.
And you have the GD audacity to sit there and tell us to work hard when you don’t even know what it is to work for anything at all. And you have the audacity to portray your consumption choices as matters of merit or effort. You cannot buy virtue.
This doesn’t apply to all rich kids. Some are parented well enough that they work hard and clearly know their stuff and zero people have a problem with those guys.
1. Work Exposure and career growth
2. Work life balance
3. Tax and welfare incentives
1. Work on building patience. These days due to various reasons, attention span has reduced a quite a bit. It takes a little practice to keep yourself focused and not to distracted so that you don't lose your chain of thought.
2. Try and read more i.e. the law itself and case laws. Don't rely on articles and secondary research available online. Secondary research is someone else's view (which may or may not be accurate) and lot of times, people have different reasons for writing such stuff. So please don't take it all on face value.
3. Work on your English so that you don't have to necessarily rely on online tools to spot/fix errors.
4. Pick up a hobby. It could be anything - painting, reading, dancing, running, gym etc. basically anything. This will help you blow off you steam when you start working.
These are all very basic hygiene checks which should be kept in mind. Feel free to discard/disregard.
question is how strong of a recommendation do you think he would have had. do kids with referrals really don’t have to bother w cgpa?

I possibly face the same bias that other JGLS students face: "Dumb, rich Jindal kid. Why give him work? Why is he here? Let him go to his summer house in Switzerland and chill there." ☹️
P.S. My family actually does own a summer house abroad, but in the UK and not Switzerland. 😑
When did wiping out an entire population ever amount to a “war” between two nations? When did demolishing another community’s sacred sites, erecting your own structures in their place, and performing rituals to advance your religious-political goals become “war”? When did depriving millions of civilians of food, water, medicine, and basic necessities, deliberately starving them to death, become “war”?
When an unarmed civilian population is bombed in their homes, denied refuge, and stripped of every means of survival, it is not “war.” When children are buried under rubble, when hospitals are destroyed, when entire families are erased, it is not “war.” When settlers are brought in to replace the displaced, when colonies are developed on stolen land, when cultural and religious identity is systematically erased, this is not war.
This is genocide. It is the calculated destruction of a people, their lives, their heritage, their future. To label it merely as “war” is to sanitize the reality, to mask crimes of the highest order under the false neutrality of military terminology.
I am an experienced lawyer having 2 years of experience practising before NCLT and NCLAT equipped with the qualification of a Company Secretary. However, I would like to expand my practise area more and include the areas of commercial, real estate, white collar crime and regulatory authorities practise. I plan to shift to Delhi for that matter. I have been researching firms and I feel karanjawala or Agarwal would be fit for me, but I am feeling insecure as i don’t have any experience or knowledge other than Companies Act or IBC so I think no firms would hire me at all
Bangalore office is the pay is Rs. 20 lakhs.
London office should atleast pay Rs. 1 crore. Because of cost of living, currency etc.
