You won't be able to change it because of competition. Lets say that you are heading a big firm, you would not be able to say no to a client even if they are being unreasonable. The second you say no, they will switch to a different firm that will agree to pull all-nighters. If you lose clients, you would not be able to pay a good compensation to your associates who will then move to another firm. This way, the practice will continue to be at the breaking point.

In corporate, 80% boss are toxic in nature. Only way to deal is to listen the screams a few times and big a big blow back when there is crowd. This will ensure that your personality isn't taking beat all the times. Company isn't your wife therefore always look for other opportunities and play around even if it's your fault. Not saying to blame others!

The simple logical answer lies the economics concept of Game Theory, all of us know that we should collectively bargain for better environment and culture, which would be the co-operative outcome, however the external factor of everyone's lives, financials conditions and reasons for working not being the same results in some people being more scared of losing their jobs than others and hence they would prefer the non-cooperative outcome for working through it while others protest and therefore this does not work out. Classic example being "A class of students being on mass bunks but the toppers and teacher's pets being present in the class" almost the situation here aswell. The only way we can improve the culture is to rise among the ranks despite these difficulties and then change the culture from within but that also has slim chances of happening as most of the people develop the thought process of "Agar humne itni mushkilon mein kaam kiya toh juniors bhi karenge".

This is the official ranking, based on numerous indicators and is, by far, the most authentic. NLS and NLUD continue to hold their top positions, reflecting their performance and reputation. Given the increased competition from many new NLUs and private universities emerging, these institutions have successfully maintained their standings. The rise of NUJS and GNLU in the ranks is also remarkable. I am confident that the leadership and community at these universities are making significant contributions to this success.

TLDR summary:

- NLUD and NALSAR only a little bit behind NLSIU. The reason NLSIU keeps winning is that they get 100/100 in perception. Remove the perception score and they will not be #1.

- The gap with NUJS is larger and that's because NUJS is doing badly in perception.

- To an extent, perception is about outward appearance (a nice website and an Oxford-educated VC who speaks English well helps). However, corruption and bad administration also have an impact. So the other colleges shoudn't hate on NLSIU purely for having better PR. Say what you will about Sudhir Krishnaswamy, he is not corrupt. He does not embezzle money and he hires NLU alumni faculty with good qualifications, rather than keeping them out and hiring third-rate products from semi-rural colleges.

BIG BREAKING: NIRF 2025 ranking released...NLSIU tops for record 8th year in a row... NLSIU>NLUD>NALSAR top 3 heirarchy retained yet again

https://www.nirfindia.org/Rankings/2017/Ranking2017.html

For example 1, NLSIU will admit him in the merit list and take an SC candidate headed to NALSAR. This is the standard practice for all edu instns and there is well established case law on the point.

Example 2 idk what the policy is with state domicile seats. It might depend on WB Govt policy.

Hi folks!

Thank you!

Most of the discussions usually focus on corporate firms, but I’d like to shift the spotlight to litigation. Could members shed some light on the best litigation chambers and firms in Bengaluru? Insights on aspects like pay, practice areas, and work culture would be really helpful.

Yes of course your message makes one curious. Found only one anita jain as there were no other anitas. Also understand that she was earlier in ic legal. Trying to know more about her post your message since she is the number one funds lawyer in aequitas (which has only partners and less employees) which will on her strength soon displace trilegals of the world.

As per available information with Google

It seems good players they are. Well playing in market yaar.

Assuming your college doesn't provide you with internships, there are multiple ways you can go about it.

1. Cold Emailing- This has personally worked for me multiple times. The trick is to know how to draft the mail. It cannot be a cookie cutter mail. It has to be personalised, related to their work and practice area. If not expertise, you have to demonstrate at least an interest - moots in that practice area, publications etc. help.

2. Competitions- There are multiple ADR, paper-writing competitions etc. that land the winners internships at t1 firms.

3. Reference - You might want to ask your previous associates or even the counsel you've worked with, to refer you to firms. Use contacts, if you have any.

Hope it helps! All the best!

If you had actually read the report, you would have not talked from the back of your neck. The reason we accuse the TLC types of being voluntarily in a state which can be best described as functionally illiterate is simple and exactly this: they believe they can just talk without having done any of the hard yards, and that everyone will bow to their opinion because of the "LLB" tag going with their names.

If I had been Sudhir, there would have been aspects of the report that made me quite uncomfortable.

1. The call for the ending of the trimester system.

2. The importance they gave to the "perception" that the administrative decision-making at the uni was unaccountable and not very responsive to student concerns.

3. This last one would have made me slightly angry, if I had been him. They criticized the fact that the number of students on non-PhD programmes whose studies are fully funded is very low. What the report does not mention is that the university system that two out of the three authors work in - namely, that of the UK - works precisely like this: undergraduate and postgraduate taught students are largely not funded (or funded only to a limited extent) by their universities (although the UK has a student loans system, similar to the U.S., for domestic students). Despite identifying this as a problem, the SRC did not really propose a solution. What is supposed to be done? Should we set up a student loans infrastructure like what the British or Americans have? In other words, it didn't say how you solve the problem. Of course, that would likely have been because of the SRC's remit or maybe even hesitation on their part to be too prescriptive, but nevertheless, quite discomfort-inducing.

4. I think he didn't really have a problem with the quantity of assessment being done. Fundamentally, that is a very Indian way of thinking. For these guys to do what they did, i.e., to come out and say that the frequency of assessment should be reduced, would have been quite a big thing for Sudhir to take in.

NB: Please do not take this as me personally disagreeing with any of the suggestions in the report. I am just following J.S. Mill's call to be generous to the arguments and points of view of those whose views are different from your own. I very much like what they have said in many respects and think it worth considering. However, I do understand why, having absorbed some of the orthodoxies of Indian academia, he may find some of the recommendations not as much to his liking as others, or, at the very least, something to make his stomach do a few backflips, because, even if he agrees with them in principle, he would need to justify it to people whose way of thinking about universities is very different.

According to this article, it’s a very big problem in divorces, but there is no law on it and courts haven’t ruled on it. This case doesn’t really give us chance for a good precedent, because it’s not a divorce case (they were merely living in and not married). Rather, Mohua has filed a case against him alleging that he stole the dog. So it’s a case of theft. A completely unfounded one, of course, because he paid for the dog and the documents are in his name.

In fact, this case may actually set a very bad example, because the dog is being treated like a chattel by Mahua’s complaint. It’s like saying that your ex “stole” your child.

Firstly, it is good that you are in a good nlu and that you are on good terms with everyone. Thats a good place to be in. keep your grades up but I dont think that is the problem here but just wanted to make sure that you know that that's the most imp thing here.

Secondly, I have DEFINITELY been through/going through the same my whole college and career. The feeling of not being able to connect with anyone like you are at a show where you can only spectate but never participate. Been there. I will tell you two things to do -

1. firstly make sure that you are open to connect with people. go out there and join clubs or take part in things you like, make sure to sign up for every fest oc or any oc tbvh. Make sure you are increasing your surface area to the max. THIS is the time where you if your stars are good meet your best friends in college. Do this and try to be open to people. Be the person to make plans and be the person who takes the first initiative.

2. Now if this is not working out there might two things - either firstly, you are fundamentally at odds with people who are in your profession or in your college. That would mean that maybe the type of personality and interest you carry is not suitable for this path. You might want to also meet people from other colleges to make sure its not a college problem. if that still persists - it might be a career misalingment problem and you might want to seek another party/field/interest

or maybe the problem is inside. A long time of therapy has showed me how there is an internal barrier between me making friends and feeling connected. You might also want to go to therapy FOR SURE if it has come to this

Lastly, I know you did not want advice on this and please ignore this if you want. Having a gf back home has never worked out for any of the tens of people tha I know. Not because yall dont love each other but because yall are defo in diff phases of life and in diff env and diff growth speed. I am not telling this to scare you. I am telling you this cus you MUST make sure that you are good without her, that you ahve friends, hobbies, interests, goals and a support system in your college without her.

cheers - best of luck

Yes you should definitely visit the counsellor. Loss of personality is a earlysign of clinical depression - along with things like spending lots of time staring at the ceiling fan and scrolling mindlessly. It creeps up on you very silently. at least you have noticed it which is good. please get some assistance and in some time you will hopefully be able to revive your personality.

Being able to think critically about gender (and other) biases is very important to understand the realistic probability of a judge giving you bail in a given case. if you only learn legal provisions and go to court you will be very disappointed . that critical thinking is what NLUs or any good college are supposed to give you.
