Hi Unknown,

I am the same 30 yr old who ended up giving too much gyan. If you haven't already, scout for 30 partners who do or are related to the work you have done. Don't restrict to T1 pleasd. Figure linkedin and emails. Cold email and message. If you don't get replies, keep sending mails every 4th day (obviously make it look like follow up). This has helped some of the folks I know. Cover letter should be strong.

Privileged kids doing performative wokism. That's all. Wait till placement season comes. Will all flock to CAM. Then end up advising Adani, Ambani etc. Then eventually become full right-wing BJP supporters: for lower income tax, for privatisation, against subsidies, for expelling Bangladeshis and Rohingyas etc.

This is what has happened with previous batches as well.

This is exactly the problem.

When I talk about Starbucks' customer service, I don't limit myself, and I feel good comparing it to CCD/Blue Tokai. I can compare Starbucks to British Airways or Citibank as an organization (completely different businesses, but still business organizations serving customers, nonetheless).

Your comment is naive and preaching denial.

Profs are fine. Some are good, some are meh.

We get profs for the bba and ba part of the degree from colleges of the north campus, so the non-law subjects are also taught pretty rigorously.

Exams are mostly pretty easy to fly through if you are considerate enough to atleast attend 60% of the classes. Not much is required to pass. Would say that the teaching quality may br slightly better than T2 nlus (especially the lower ones) so dont be worried about it a lot if you plan on joining.

Try using connections by reaching out to your extended family/your parents' friends who may know someone's someone in the firm. You can also cold-email partners or reachout on linkedin, but ensure that you personalize each and every mail. You can also try asking your RCC to put in a word for you or call them to your college but from what I know, Kco gives out (directly-through-college) internships in only the top few NLUs and Symbi and Jindal so this may be tough. All the best!

There is no guarantee that your applications will convert to jobs, if you have a ready opportunity in a local firm, I say confirm it for now. You still have time to get better jobs via applications/internships, in which case if something better comes along, you can ditch the confirmed firm. Sure, it's not the best move ever but the safest. As for MBA, depends on how much you love the law and want to practice it. Do not make this decision purely on a financial basis but also basis what you wish to do in the future.

Sure, we loved the holiday and extended weekend. But should we have it as a holiday? Does he deserve one? Why not Bose Jayanti, Patel Jayanti, Vivekananda Jayanti, Tilak Jayanti, Tagore Jayanti, Rammohan Roy Jayanti etc?

Or, a combined National Day to remember everyone?

For in house jobs the rankings or CGPA barely matters as most ppl hired for in house were all mostly 6 of 7 CGPA holders.

But yes for law firms, you have to be in top 50 to get shortlisted in the first round. And yeah don’t rely too much on placements as the figure goes up because of in house company hiring, the law firms barely take 1-4 ppl max each. There were firms like JSA, DSK and Bharucha who came and took 0 ppl.

I am a first year student at SLSP (Batch of 31). Our externals are next month and I am very nervous and good portion of my batchmates have started studying. I am not the studious kind and am sure I will rank somewhere in the middle.

My desire is to land a Tier 1 Job and seeing my seniors from 27 batch doing well in placements, I am quite hopeful of making it.

So, what is a desireable CGPA and Batch Rank in SLSPune to land a good firm job by end of my college? How to achieve the same?

Graduated from T1 NLU without placement. Ended up in a boutique where I am being paid poverty wages although the practice area is super lucrative (m&a and gen corp advisory). I have to pull all nighters daily. Upside of this job is faster learning curve in comparison to my peers in T1 law firms, very close mentorship from partners who did well at former T1s. I am also learning the art of rainmaking from them by observing them closely. This is the good. Now, talking about the bad. I don't see myself working in this job for long. The hours are unsustainable, expectations are unrealistic and while I enjoy this work, I don't know if climbing the corp ladder will make sense. I can jump to T1s after a stint here, but I am questioning if the T1 law firm life would be worth it. In past few years I have seen people leave law firms- they do LLMs and masters but end up in the same situation post masters. The only time outcomes are decent is when MBA is involved. I am hesitant to jump to the MBA bandwagon immediately because I don't have full 12 months experience, and I genuinely am not able to gauge if MBA would solve my current problems. I am also realizing that half of the time unrealistic deadlines come up because work is not streamlined. There are so many inefficiencies in the way we operate and the leadership is often times so ego driven and set in their ways that working as status quo makes things 10x difficult for the junior in the team. Not saying these things won't persist in post MBA roles but global orgs and companies generally are more streamlined even if the work hours are as bad as law firms. There is a lot of chatter about AI in transactional work and I feel I am at the right stage to decide if this is something I would like to continue doing given that if AI is truly at a level where it can decimate even 40 percent of work, most juniors would have a hard time justifying their value add to the law firm machinery.

Tldr: 26F from a T-1 Law School considering MBA. Want to hear experiences from lawyers who made the move. Please don't tell me that money is the same in both fields. I know that with right moves, and jumps I can probably turn my poverty wages to FU money. The question, here however is about few factors: stability, better hours, more optionality, just a sense of contentment. Please help a lost soul.

Marital rape in Nepal is penalized under the law. Muluki Criminal Code, 2074; Section 219 sub-section (1,4,5) penalize marital rape in Nepal. The notion of marital rape in Nepal came from the precedent established in the case of Meera Dhungana vs. HMG, NKP 2058. In this, the Supreme Court declared “marital rape as a punishable

There is a reason even pro-reservation idealogues are saying that there is a need for reform. Do you actually think foreign companies and firms would themselves consider candidates with unequal entrance scores at an equal footing? Would you ask these firms to understand how many marginalized groups have struggled to come into universities and be tokenized as the DEI group?

I think everyone understands the point fine (although note this is a point about economics and wealth not caste). The question is how is the problem addressed.

Why is it a good thing to admit people who can’t cope or handle the course? It’s not their fault that they were born poor and not given the training wealthier kids got but the result is the same - either they are unqualified and fail or do badly in tbr course or the whole course is dumbed down for them and overall standard is dropped.

Neither of which sounds like a good idea. The real answer is to improve standards at the grassroots and improve opportunities for bright but poor kids and basically catch them and train them much earlier - but that is much harder than passing a reservation law and picking up some quick votes

1. How is the Paralegal position at SAM Delhi like?

2. What are the chances of this getting converted to a full-time Associate position? How long can one continue as a Paralegal without being absorbed by the concerned Team?

3. What is the remuneration like?

4. Which Teams at SAM Delhi generally hire Paralegals?

Try NYAI. They have a pay as you go system for any feature you use, starting with a minimum price of INR 500. I have found it useful for research and drafting as it showed my accurate citations with answers. I feel summary feature does not support very heavy docs butig that is same with the LLMs too.

I am a SA2 at a tier 2 law firm (earlier a tier 1). I work in two practice areas and feel very insecure about not mastering one. I worry that tier 1 firms won’t understand my experience. Please help.

I’ve been told I’m doing well by partners I don’t even work with, but there’s a feeling I haven’t specialised in a particular type of transaction and I’m not a master of a specific legal field.

i am looking for a TMT/IP internship during my sem 4 break.

can anyone provide any suggestions (based on experience or otherwise) about firms with the city that have a great work, learning environment and would be willing to take a second year. i have a couple of publications in these areas but no internships as of yet. also please dont suggest any tier 1 or tier 2 law firms.

thanks in advance!

Has anyone interned at C&S Partners, Mumbai (BKC)? I've been confirmed for a one-month internship and I'd be shifting to Mumbai only for this, so I want to know if it's actually worth it. How was the work, the exposure and the seniors? Would really appreciate any honest experiences.
