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.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Also, you're genuinely delusional if you think a B.A. LL.B is: (a) harder to get into than a good-quality B. Tech and/or (b) harder to survive than an MBBS.
In the end, we know who will win, who is more liked etc.
Also, how is the internship experience with Sr Adv. Tanveer Ahmed Mir, and what work does he give to interns? Does he hire freshers?
He's planning on raiding DoMS NALSAR and DoMS NLUJ to hire managers for all the new offices he'll be opening.
Since the Bangalore office is relatively small, the work culture is quite decent and free from toxicity. The pay is on the lower side compared to market standards, likely in the range of 25–35 (depending on how your interview goes).
From a learning perspective, it’s a fantastic place. You’ll get to learn a lot, and the partner is great to work with. If money isn't a great concern, it’s an excellent place to build a strong foundation that will help you in the long run.
Lastly, if you remove the recent political cases, his body of work isnt as great on seminal matters in past. And all these matters are again muti counsel matters. Eg Electoral bonds case really was led by Prashant Bhushan, Article 370 has a huge list of counsel, in fact Raju Ramachandran was instrumental in it getting to Constitution bench, Ayodhya had so many seniors with Rajiv Dhavan really leading and so on. So honestly, is he good, yes. Very good - i think he's now arguing matters for causes which resonate with him or where he feels strongly about and some part of his advocacy now contains a bit of his outrage on what he sees as wrong (as opposed to say Dr. AMS, who's laser focused on points of law and not passionate arguments). Alltime - honestly, no. Had he not been in Government, probably he would have done much more legal work and that credit needs to be given to him.
His misc fees for SC is 20L. Not sure about final hearing fees.
While reckoning that I must not be asking these questions, however, I could not resist the temptation since I fervently want to convert this opportunity. This is not another attempt at securing a prestigious internship; it stems from a genuine admiration for the HMJ's illustrious career and contributions to the law. I will be grateful for any & every insight on this topic.
If you're a junior at JSA, welcome aboard we have devised many many ways of screwing up your payouts. Arbitrary bonus bands, entirely made up retainer bands, bill share that is at the mercy of benevolent seniors, getting staffed on fixed fee relationship building diligences that pay nothing, we've thought of it all!
But I was there and saw how they behaved, how unprofessional and difficult they were and why they were fired. They just try to make me feel awkward for continuing to work at a place I know is actually good for me and my professional growth. Maybe the HR should be clear about the reasons and voluntarily inform the next place they join so they don't blatantly lie about such things openly.
Genuinely one of the best places I have worked. The firm culture is great. The partners are understanding and willing to mentor you. Great work and good pay.
The GC work is really good with regular secondee opportunities as well.
I would like to have a conversation with you regarding this.
While you may think hourly you're not being paid - ask a litigation lawyer who is trying to get the clients thats given to you on a platter, or ask someone doing corp law independently how much they would love to have work without sleep.
I think this culture of just ranting about inconveniences is being a trend - why dont you pick up your bags and leave. If you spent hours at the abysmal rate efficiently- you should know bonded labour isn't legal. So please leave. Clearly not going anywhere are you? Go back to your work my friend. The hours may be lesser if you dont spend time with the nonsense here :)
