So I'll clear your doubt. What sets apart GLC from any other "lax attendance college" is the criteria to get into GLC. 20000 people on an average appear for MHCET out of which top 150 get in. These are the best 150 minds of the state which now have 5 years in their hands to do whatever they want to. Me and many others like me have 20+ months of internship experience, making us conversant with every law there is to know which is 'relevant' to our field of practice. So now at the end of 5 years, we are atleast 2 years ahead in terms of experience all while still being a 'fresher' which makes us best suited for any recruiter.

I don't come from money. I live with a single parent in a metropolitan city. Both of us have chronic health issues. I simply can't afford to survive on peanuts for years with a remote possibility of having my own practice someday. I admit not seriously considering the possibility of unemployment during or before graduation. I was certain I'd land somewhere atleast but it wasn't meant to be.

ICICI bank offer letter query

Hello everyone, I am writing this post with great hopes.

I recently (in last week of July) interviewed with ICICI Bank for an opening at NBCC Office. I received an email informing me that my profile has been shortlisted for further processing and post which HR even called the next day to upload the remaining documents. Should I be expecting an offer letter from ICICI, if yes, when can I expect to receive the same?

Kindly advise

Thanks and regards

Sibal is easily one of the top 10 lawyers of all time. Some important cases argued by him are:

Nabam Rebia, Kihoto Hollohan, 2nd judges case, SR Bommai, V Ramaswamy, K Veeraswamy, Art 370, Waqf Case, Electoral Bonds, KS Puttaswamy, AMU Minority Status, Jain Hawala including defending Lal Krishna Advani in the same case, Maharashtra political crisis case, PMLA challenge, Same sex marriage, Triple Talaq, Whatsapp privacy case, Ram Mandir case, Bihar SIR, Yashwant Verma.

And don't get me started on the no. people he got bail for. Some names are Kanhaiya Kumar, P Chidambaram, Karti Chidambaram, Sanjay Dutt, Subrata Roy Sahara, Hemant Soren etc.

These are some of the cases that I can remember and there must be many. Tell me one lawyer worth his name who has argued cases of such importance.

You might not agree with the stand that he takes but must give the man the credit for being the no. 1 lawyer of our times.

Supreme court used to be dominated by Lawyers from Bombay and Madras. Kapil became Delhi bars' first lawyer of some importance in the Supreme Court. He left behind Jethmalani, Nariman, Divan, Sorabjee etc in 90s itself and virtually became the no. 1 sr. In the late 90s.

Infact Jethmalani asked him to argue Sanjay Dutt's bail petition after failing repeatedly to get Sanjay out. Sibal got him bail but the whole credit was take by Ram Jethmalani and Satish Maneshinde. Kapil defended LK Advani including Jain brothers in the Jain Hawala case but again Jethmalani took credit of LK Adavni's aquittal. Lawyers like Salve and Jaitley used to brief Kapil in their younger days and Sibal was just 5-7 yrs older to them.

It's so funny that people really talk shit about Kapil Sibal who's had a calibre of a different kind.

Most of the people on this forum including myself were not even born when he already became a Senior Advocate.

How many lawyers in India can you tell that have defended a judge in a parliament.

I agree and so do LLB students. The fact that they have expanded the student body without understanding the market dynamics is just sad...We have had both representatives from BA LLB and LLB being told on how the college does not want to 'chase' market trends. Unfortunately that is hurting the prospects of students in both these programs. LLBs had to fight them to keep corp law as a subject in early trimesters and they aren't even taught corp law 2. Apparently when a LLB representation went to the authorities concerned, they were told that things like FEMA, IBC aren't important, which is laughable and shows how out of touch some of these people are.

Any idea about people who were successful in practice but gave up practice to do something else? Were they burnt out? Or did they choose? What were their motivations? I can only think of Umakanth - top partner leaving practice at the top and then doing academia equally successfully. Anyone else? Anyone who switched off from the law totally?

You too have that option. And yeah, why to chase a job where you're underpaid? Why you want me to go in another field to improve your chances of getting a job where you're underpaid in your view. Go ahead, find a non legal job, which will pay you more, in line with your abilities.

But why are you looking to leave law when there are no jobs. Just open your firm, pay the correct level of wages and obviously, you'll have your pick of legal talent. And as it's your firm, you'll earn all profits.

And yeah, if you think you're underpaid, just leave. No one holds you back. Just leave, go and take a job in any other field and earn what you think you deserve because of course you'll be great at anything but the legal community doesn't pay you your just comp.

What's stopping you from clocking 3 hours at the university through the biometric and then going back home to do all your great research? Such a bad logic! Accountability is what you're seeking to avoid. As for teaching and research, everyone knows how 'great' Jindal faculty are in those parameters.

Do you think they wouldn't all love to go work at NLS in a heart beat if they could? How deluded are JGLS folks to think that theyre some sought after commodity. You do realise the JGLS interview to be a faculty person lasts all of two minutes ? (Literally, because I gave one and was offered a job). They barely ask you anything except- will you teach what youre asked to? will you leave after you join?

NLS on the other hand makes you do multiple interviews for a permanent position.

Why do you think that is? JGLS wants to hire more professors than they have- because they have continuous attrition cause no one good wants to stick around. And NLS wants to be very selective about who they hire, because there are too many good candidates and they only have a few spots. Any number of JGLS faculty apply to NLS jobs every term that theyre advertised and do not even make the cut to interview.

You're absolutely delusional telling people to go away to NLUs as if they are some inferior option.

depends on which team and position you're interviewing for. overall, expect mainly CV based questions and know your CV like the back of your hand. they will also ask you a few general questions based on which team you have applied to, so know basics of the Companies Act and Contact Act if the interview is for the Gen Corp team, for example.

Name a few, NLUs haven't produced one decent authority on IHRL. The only ones we can refer to are international environmental law like Rajamani, TWAIL like Anand and Chimni, or international trade like Ranjan etc. IHRL, IHL or even PIL doesn't have world class academics in India.
