NLUJ: 31 PPOs, 23 DayZ. These are individual number of people who got placed, not offers. I've seen people often confuse offers for the number of people who got placed. I can't be completely sure about the total number of offers, though. So that's 54 placements, in an RICC class of 80. Nearly all of these are T1.

Afaik, GNLU placed 29 people on Day Z, idk the number of offers they received, though.

If you want to join a PSU or JAG, them Clat PG makes sense.

If you want an academic or research career, then Clat PG makes sense.

If you want to do a PhD, then Clat PG makes sense.

It does NOT make sense if you want to do litigation, Judiciary, Civil services, law firms, NGOs, MBA etc

This isn't even artful or subtle. You should be utterly ashamed of yourself. Trying to put down perhaps the academically toughest law degree in the world? Get along with you! (As someone with a UK LLM that is neither Oxford nor Cambridge.) Of course Cambridge has a fantastic LLM. But putting down the Oxford BCL is, as the British upper class types would say, in very bad form.

Nothing new in your report. Read a post on LinkedIn a while back from an English lawyer who still has some work related to EU law that he tried asking it about certain EU regulations and directives, and it kept making up a directive on a subject in a year when no directive on that particular subject had been promulgated.

I don't want to share details as it's work-related and involves a client. Let's just say it's similar to something like this: Did company X bid to buy company Y? ChatGPT says no, but the answer is absolutely yes! Can be verified from news reports and official records. I was stunned by this mistake. I told ChatGPT, you are wrong. After over a minute, it said yes, you are right --- sorry. Then it gave the correct info.

So AI is not perfect. The other thing we should remember is that a lot of the stuff ChatGPT absorbs is from Wikipedia. It used to be a decent resource, now it's totally garbage: full of conspiracy theorists, far-left lunatics and propagandists posting as neutral voices.

The 2025 campus recruits at a Mumbai based law firm (won't disclose it) are extremely below average. Those folks don't even know the basics of statutes taught in the first year of law school and parley unwanted entitlement when it comes to work. The JGLS hogwash must be put to an end for such reasons.

1. As far as I am able to understand, the ban goes much further than merely banning the things you said. It seems to be an almost blanket ban.

2. Of course, you are right regarding the funding of libraries. Everything I said is based on the assumption that that won't happen, because governments tend not to fund stuff if they can help it. Especially stuff like music CDs, scores etc. A CD of Beethoven's violin concertos outside India costs over $150 on Amazon. Which government (or even community fund, such as a Home Owners' Association or whatever) will be willing to give that kind of money? Of course, I will be more than happy if you can find one such!

3. The reality is that parents, beyond a point, can't do much. Of course they must be there to guide. Of course they should supervise what the kid is doing. But the kid needs a level of freedom as well. They may find pathways of exploration that their parents do not have time to help them with. Parents have their own lives to carry on with - jobs to go to, household bills to pay, perhaps other (maybe younger?) children to look after. Doing things like what I described is a very organic process. Your mum or dad isn't at your beck and call. You might have found a particular passage of a piece immensely difficult for days, weeks, perhaps even months on end. Then suddenly, one day, something clunks into place in your head, you know what to do, you just need to listen and correspond what you are hearing with your own hand movements on your piano. Your parents may be away at that time and you may not have access to their credentials or devices in that way. What do you do then? There are practical realities to be contended with, these are just some. What's the solution for those things you talked about? Age verification - proper age verification, perhaps combined with things like safe search. I am more than happy to engage in a reasonable discussion of what other methods you could use to prevent the access to harmful content, as long as you are willing to be a little less angry. Naturally, these are difficult and emotional issues for many, as lives have been destroyed due to accessing of harmful content. But that's even more reason we work extra hard not to get angry about this.

Of course I am concerned with safeguarding - no civilised person isn't. We need to find a way that strikes the balance between genuine safeguarding and not hindering talent. The second part of that criteria is in danger of being not satisfied, at least in my view. I am happy for you to tell me, very calmly and quietly, as I have done with you, why you think my view is incorrect.

I think a lot of us chose this field because of its evergreen nature, so imagining being replaced and made redundant is a hard pill to swallow. This reflects all levels of the profession, be it the some of the most senior partners at firms to current law students following the same path as their predecessors.

Nevertheless, I think these reports aren't too far from the truth. The number of associates required in a law firm will greatly reduce. The GC/CM roles that dominate campus recruitment will no longer be on offer, leading to more complaints about no vacancies and bad market from students. The best thing you can do is make sure you're in control - make sure you're aware of what AI can do, and how you can work with it.

Even if you're not ready for the day, it cannot always be night.

Man honestly AI will never be fully replacing manual work especially in legal teams. I have always seen people say capital markets and any area with a lot of DD will be extinct but this is not true. Just the other day I gave Chatgpt a list of 50 names and attached a zip folder containing 50 files and asked it to just verify if all 50 names match, it still got it wrong. So there will have to be a human checking if chatgpt or any AI is doing correct work. If anything, people will be able to finish the task requiring 1 hour in 10mins through AI but they will never stop working. Just my two cents

At CAM as an A0 you will make 1.2 pm bonus is pro rata so 1.8 for the whole year comes down to 1.2 x whatever your rating is.

Most partners will give a 4H. HR advises them not to go higher. Increments between 17.-21 lakhs PA at the A1 level truly go elsewhere. Chindi Amarchand MangaldaS = CAM

Moderator, you should get your bosses to modify this website's policies. Many things marked "urgent" should not be published. By definition, this is not the platform for time-sensitive stuff to be dealt with. People can come and check it anytime, not necessarily per other peoples' requirements. Plus, I think this "urgent" marking is often used inappropriately to talk about stuff that isn't even remotely "urgent". On the other hand, some stuff is genuinely "urgent", but has been deliberately made so by the LI post author's indolence or lack of application. Whichever the situation, not worth wasting most peoples' time over.
