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.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. The partner or interviewer does not encourage you to ask questions or responds to your questions ambiguously or in very brief without revealing too much info- that means there could be lack of transparency 2. Everything about the partner or the team sounds too hunky dory - don’t fall for angel or smiley faces- sometimes the angry birds are better bosses or mentors may be just overworked or frustrated
3. The interviewer is moving very fast with the whole process - I.e., they make you an offer within 2-3 weeks or even less; this could mean there is lot of attrition and/or team is severely understaffed
4. You are not asked too many questions at the interview or there is no technical round- you could end up doing only grunt work for sometime -you will be nothing but a cog in a wheel
5. The partner/interview does not have any specific expectations from the candidate- his or her wish list regarding the candidate is abstract or unclear - leadership has no vision for the team or doesn’t care if the team members fit in
6. The interviewer keeps cutting you or interrupting you while you speak, additional questions are asked before you could complete your response - very poor communication skills - big red flag
7. No questions are asked about your family or personal life or hobbies or interests or future plans - you’ll be only slogging in the factory
8. You are called for an interview with one partner but end up interviewing with and /or getting an offer from another partner in a different team- this could mean the partner whose team you’ll be joining doesn’t have a good reputation
9. You are told that your previous experience doesn’t count even though you are not changing practice areas - you will be assigned grunt work or there will be too much micromanagement
10. While speaking to the partner you suddenly don’t feel like yourself or you are either too nervous or too confused as compared to your interviews with other partners and you can’t understand why -trust your gut instinct- basically the partner could be a red flag for your mental well being or your nervous system
11. The partner is not too old but still looks like he or she doesn’t take care of his or her health - looks too unhealthy, too worn out or too tired - so there could be no regard to your physical health and you taking care of yourself could be frowned upon
12. The practice area you are being hired for is not the core or main practice area of the main partner- this could become a major concern later on if the firm is a tier 1
**The list is endless but if you notice something weird or feel something is off during your interview itself then please dig deeper
Don’t trust reviews on LI blindly but don’t completely disregard them either- do a proper investigation regarding the partner and team through your batchmates and friends- recruiters shouldn’t be trusted at all
- GCs shrinking annually
- Muslims increasing by a big number annually
- OBCs increasing by a humungous number annually
He says the third statistic is humanly impossible and hints at GCs being reclassified as OBCs.
If this is the case, then can we infer:
- This is happening mostly in the Hindi belt, given the demographics and Mandal politics?
- That the OBC quota is being dominated by this region?
- That a lot of the OBCs are reclassifed GCs?
Anyone in NLUs care to opine?

- "It has become increasingly common for certain newspaper publications to report on University matters based on unattributed social media posts and purported private communications, without corroborating these claims against publicly available facts or verifiable documentary evidence."
- "The University is issuing this statement to set the record straight and to reiterate its expectation that media coverage concerning NISIU be based on verified facts and, where claims are contested, on due diligence with an opportunity for the University to respond
before publication."
Really? Which report was false?
- About the protests regarding poor infrastructure?
- About repeated lapses and your failure to address them?
- About the fact you DID seek a meetign regarding the convocation?
- Abotu the fact that you refuse to comment when the media DOES approach you?

I think Bajpai is quite open to discussions, has been very liberal and listens to students. Does get good people to university. It is NOT easy being in capital. I am assuming Manoj Sinha is also good.
Look at the place where faizan and VCV are. Tough grounds again.
I feel surya prakash needs to revamp nliu because the old people won't allow anything. So not sure if he has that hold. But I can these positions are not easy.
Don't know much about Ved kumari and Usha Tandon as administrators. They have been decent teachers.
But yes Jai shankar and messiah for the win.
