Same to same, partner at a t2, pressure to get clients, manage, train people, and most of all manage personal life on the side.

Mental health is slowly fading away. I have been recommended a therapist by my doctor. I didn't think I'd need one until a year in, but I'm there in a few months. Hang in there, y'all.

How did these current senior partners manage all this back in the day when there were a freshly minted partner?

Hi, As a 5th year student who has gotten multiple callbacks and offers, I could help you,

1. Callback internships are essentially second chances for an additional period or month, so the team could assess your work. Many firms explicitly call them assessment internships, which are literally assessing you for the job position. Others may just consider it an additional extension of sorts. If you are in a team that actively hires freshers and you are currently in the 4th/ 5th year, it might mean you have a chance at the offer.

2. Offers are contingent on the team partner's feedback. Could be the equity partner, mostly. They wouldn't make an offer if they aren't hiring obviously. However, some partners may provide good feedback if your work was really exemplary and you may be absorbed in another team. However, I do not think another team would make an offer without actually assessing you. Maybe you have a chance at the placements then with the feedback. Finally, if your feedback itself isn't the best, none of this would work out..

3. GC and M&A are the same team in most firms. You have to understand hiring at law firms is very partner run, they are willing to cross procedures if the partner has a strong leaning on someone. Please speak to the partner in your team (the senior most in case of multiple partners, something common in GC). If they have your back, you have nothing to fear.

Respond to this message for a further reply.

Thanks.

Refreshing to see sane minds prevail on this atleast behind anonymity. However we do need to speak out more boldly and freely against this online lockdown on free speech that includes even the slightest trace of nuance on the topic.

I don’t think Israel are faultless in this whole thing in any way. However, imo if Hamas is not seen for its role as the main villain in this story, we will never see even a remotely humane ending for the people suffering in Gaza and in Palestine generally.

What business is it of yours? He believes NLS is doing well, which it is. It is being run by a Rhodes Scholar and an Oxford DPhil, who is not just talking the talk but walking the walk on making things better in Indian legal education. Get such a one to run your own uni, why don't you, or become such a person yourself, instead of sniping at others?

hard to declare formal war when you don't consider them a seperate nation and classify them as terrorists, you kids are going to be pretty bad lawyers if you let personal opinions cloud legal arguments.

PS - This is not me saying I'm siding with Israel just referring to the legal impossibility of declaring war.

Okay. Now tell me all the educational institutions that receive money from Qatar?

Also what do you expect will happen if NLS turns down the precious little funding they get? And they turn the only jewish state in the world into an untouchable because you feel like virtue signalling? do you think that stops the war? do you think netanyahu knows what nls is let alone give a flying **** ? do you think anyone in any position of authority to stop things is affected at all?

Stupid to compare NLS (or even any other top5-6 NLUs) with SLSP. SLSP has never been considered that good or it’s definitely not in the league of places like NLUD or NALSAR/NUJS. And I speak from experience of having spent a year at SLS before retaking the CLAT/AILET and moving to a tier-1 NLU. The quality of students and faculty is vastly superior and transformative.

Hi guys, this is my first firm internship and I am concerned about the internship presentation. Pls drop the points that should be kept in mind and how to choose a topic for the same. It is supposed to be a 45 minutes presentation, kindly share how to structure it and go about this task.

We're so for animal rights here in NALSAR that one can raise 20k for a dog's treatment in two days but the same kind of amount for a cleaner aunty who has been suffering financially due to various reasons cannot be raised even in a week. Mind you this cleaner lady keeps the washrooms and hostels clean while that dog barks at night disrupting sleep and shits anywhere it wants to.

Hello I want to know whether the career in commercial litigation is more rewarding in terms of money at especially district courts or not than criminal and civil as the pecuniary jurisdiction is only limited to 2 crores at district courts so I don't think any lawyer can get fees of more than 10 lakhs at district court but in criminal cases lawyers can even get 50 lakhs and secondly is commercial litigation more lucrative than insolvency if we consider both of them as different?

I accept that now students preferring RML, RGNUL, NUALS, CNLU etc over SLS Pune.

If fee not an issue, JGLS and Symbiosis Pune still preferred after top 5/10 NLUs respectively by many like this:

NLSIU

Nalsar

NUJS

NLUD

JGLS

NLUJ

GNLU

NLIU

HNLU

RML

RGNUL

NUALS

Symbiosis Pune

MNLU Mumbai

CNLU

im planning to take clat this year but the finances are freaking me out , i really want to go to an nlu but i only have 2L rn . Is there anyone here who took a loan for 5 year ba llb , if yes please let me know the process, things/ documents im gonna need . I don't want to waste my time worrying about this , if it turns out loan isn't possible for me , I'll start thinking of other options.

( P.s please stick to the question,im sick of being nlu tag doesn't matter or i should just go for 3 year llb )

The pause is not just on setting up new law schools, but also bars new courses and expansion of intake. This should be a signal for courses like the ordinary BA at NLS and IPM in NALSAR - not even related to law - and a humongous expansion of seats (like NLS). Some state NLUs neh toh dukan khol ke rakh li hai.

Option 4 (if let's say all goes to shit, cause nothing is predictable) then litigate, you'll thank me in 10 years, litigate, work hard, build it from the ground up, then you can rain money based on how well you establish your reputation and clientele. In all honesty, you can be employed as a litigator as a worst-case scenario; you have a law degree at the end of the day, your degree is a very useful one.

But yeah, it may feel like a losing battle initially, but again, you wanna live for the next 60 + years, right? It's the journey and not the destination. Litigation will pay in the long run, likely far more than corporate.
