Reach out to your alumni network, join as an A0 (market is never bad for good resources / associates) - take whichever team you get and slog it out for a few years. Top 3 NLUs have strong and helpful alumni.
It's really saddening that people can be so obnoxious towards their only job - HIRING.
I really do not understand the motive behind such acts. Is this creating a fake hype or is it just to show the world that look we are still relevant in the market.
2. Offices of newly designated seniors still do drafting, only that the filings aren't in the name of the senior.
This is a gated profession, the fact that you can practice in the first place along side them is a "privilege" according to them.
How long after going independent did you get your first brief?
Any help will be appreciated.
A partner at a rival firm in their "FRP practice" is a former TLP associate, and he became a partner in 10 years, no discounting of experience or anything.
Rana Ayyub posted a link to the said article on Twitter stating that the article was a “hitjob”.
Arora replied to Ayyub’s tweet, “The man has been accused of rape, he routinely engages in hate speech”.
This tweet was liked by Rawat.
Iyer-Mitra argued that Rawat’s liking of the defamatory tweet means that the same could be read by anybody who perused her Twitter profile. He said that the allegations made in the “defamatory tweet were false and frivolous and were of such nature that they would lower his reputation in the eyes of the right-thinking people”.
Arora and Iyer-Mitra settled the matter and Arora published an apology on his Twitter profile as well.
While deciding the case with respect to Rawat, the Court held that liking the tweet made it available on Rawat’s profile and thus the same constitutes republication.

And also how do I cold email, does it work? I don't even know what it means 😭
Your help would be very much appreciated.
I have experience of such applications and have finished very recently an LLM at one of the unis you mentioned. Regarding your consultancy question, I'll quickly address that here, as the answer to that is obvious in my view. Obviously you should be writing it on your own and shouldn't be getting a consultancy to do it for you, because that is unethical and could likely result in your application being invalidated (and even if you did you'd be behaving in a very foolish way, because the standard of such organisations is so poor that it is safe to assume guilt on the charge of being crap on part of a particular organisation without needing proof of anything to the contrary). Should you write on your own but get feedback? Naturally. But again, not from consultancies. Usually, a professor or alumni from your undergrad uni network would be best placed to help you but as that seems to be unavailable to you, I am happy to step in. I will, of course, not write anything for you. However, I am happy to talk you through any ideas you may have and to look over something like a draft if you have one ready to hand.
PS: Do respond here if you choose to write to the email address listed above. I check it rarely and therefore, may involuntarily delay in responding if not prompted to do so.
It’s plainly obvious that NLSIU alumni are preferred by the Congress for judgeships, law officer posts etc. Above all the ideological commonality between NLSIU alumni and the Congress: secularism and left-liberalism unite both. Rahul has also visited NLSIU and Prof Mohan Gopal was one of his close advisors.
So it’s obvious that NLSIU will be in prime position to dominate law officer appointments and judicial appointments. But who all? Gopal? Menaka? Sondhi? Are they are our future AG and SG?
Mine is 20 LPA fixed + 3.5 bonus.
Don't worry too much about it, in a year or so it all evens out - think about the brand name first
If yes, then the culture out there is not conducive. Leave that place.
There are lots of other opportunities for you. A2 hiring is going on currently all over the place. Find them and move out.
Is there a way I can move to a decent firm or chamber for litigation without significantly discounting my experience?
Also, is it true that the best time to switch from in-house to a firm is around 3–4 PQE? Should I wait until then?
