Trilegal gives a callback to almost everyone who interns. Be wise enough to realise when you haven't done any real work in your first internship and don't go for the second - you're not going to be seriously considered for a PPO and just going to be underpaid labour for some case law research every so often

Is it just my college or that every Top NLU and Top Private Colleges have been given mass Trilegal internship offers to BO'27 for this summer break? If yes, does that mean there is gonna be a cut-throat competition for Call-backs and eventually PPO? Is it their first time doing this, or is it a first-time stunt? Watching so many people get in makes me anxious as to how T1 firms exploit the hopes and dreams of interns.

Observation 1: This is a classic demonstration of the immaturity and childishness of law-firmites in India, and why they will never match up to their counterparts in the global T1 setups (unless they majorly pull up their socks).

Observation 2: I have used Legally India for a while now, and yet, I cannot come up with the kind of childish tripe that is a regular feature of this website.

Your typing will improve automatically as you start to type more in lesser amount of time. Nothing teaches better than an urgency of getting a deliverable past the line. And looking at your comment I feel you may be an A0/ A1 - start taking running notes (like a transcript) of all calls you attend. This will get you brownie points with your seniors as well as increasing your typing speed.

And of course - please avoid typing with 2 fingers. People who do that look silly - but caveat lector - some people go through their entire lawyers lives just typing with 2 fingers, and manage just fine.

Hi, I never formally learnt typing, but I've been typing and taking notes on my laptop since 2015 or so. I've largely used the correct finger/keystrokes and it has made my life much easier.

I think at PQE 0 / Internships - having reliable and fast typing skills gives a good advantage. When I feel my speed is lacking, I practice on 10fastfingers or some similar sites.

It is an easy skill where the only cost is practice and repetition - I don't think any innate skills or talents are needed. So it is a good skill to have.

Keep on practising using multiple fingers on monkeytype and 10 fast fingers. I had 30 wpm and used to type with 2 index fingers back in class 10, started practicing got to 100 wpm within a few weeks (sophomore at a t1 nlu now btw). I don't use 10 fingers, but 7-8 ish. I have built muscle memory by practicing, I don't need to think, I just know where the keys are.

Currently my peak is 138 wpm on monkeytype :)

Taking typing class is not required, but you should learn by yourself to type faster. Typing fast has its perks

Lit/judiciary/civil services- go for RMLNLU - absolute winner.
Corporate- NLUO
Previously, HNLU would have ranked over NLUO on corporate side. But HNLU now has compulsory mooting (even for BA subjects like political science, economics) plus assignments- so you are all occupied during a sem. Literally, no time for anything else. And that also makes interning during an ongoing sem difficult. Trust me, you will not want to make memorials for 6 subjects then oral argument and then in the next 15 days make projects. As you get free, end terms come over.
Plus, NLUO outranks HNLU on day zero placement statistics. The placements are nearly double at NLUO for last 3 years.

RML is worst suitable for corp in t2 (more li centric) and yes, please see statistics of placements only 30 of 176 students places (https://www.barandbench.com/Law-School/recruitment-tracker/rectracker-30-out-of-176-students-of-rmlnlu-2025-batch-get-placements).
I would have said HNLU over NLUO but considering HNLU has worsened the academic structure by incoporating compulsory mooting (even for BA Subjects like Polictical science and economics) and assignments running all over the semester- NLUO now ranks far better in corp perspective.

Correct about uni being the largest dating pool. From my experience:

50% lawyer girls marry someone from college

15% lawyer girls marry someone from work

15% lawyer girls marry someone from outside, like a social acquaintance or someone from a dating app

10% lawyer girls go in for an arranged marriage

10% lawyer girls stay single lifelong

So odds reduce if you don’t meet someone in uni.

Dear uncle-minded person, there is a good reason that these women don't share this information with people like you. As I said, I am personally friends with three. There is no reason for them or me to share their personal life with you

Of course, if the only way you and your pals can get women to marry you is to scare them by saying they can't have children any other way then you do you.

But power-partner babes, ignore these idiots. The world is your oyster.

After earning a crore and pampering myself - I shiver at the sight of women struggling with their children and man-child.

I can hire and pay men to do the things I need done. A driver. A security guard. A pick me up artist. I have options.

Same time I can spend time with my girl gang and I know that lot envies me as I travel the world and get accolades.

Do i feel empty inside? No. But but my married friends sure do.

If you’re pretty and/or fit and have good skin care you will def meet lots of men. Personality and aligned interests and goals will take you from there.

Men are quite easy btw, if you need a quick fix, even the taken ones will agree in a heartbeat. You just need to make a move.

I was working at this boutique law firm based in Mumbai (specialising in ▮▮▮). It was my first job. Even though, i was barely there for a couple of months, I still get nightmares remembering my days there. Here's my experience:

1. The HR: She barely had a BA degree and wasn't even qualified to become an HR, but she was the most controlling, ▮▮▮, and micromanaging person ever born. She used to scold the associates like a school teacher for non-sensical things. We were not even allowed to take our food orders without her permission. Even when associates were discussing something silently, she used to shout " speak loudly, i want to listen" (plus there were cameras with microphones on top of our heads, and the partner used to listen to our full day conversations on his way back home). We couldn't leave the office without her permission, no matter what time we are leaving. Even when she used to be on leaves, we were supposed to text her to take her permission for going home post work. She used to control our smoke breaks, taking print outs for work purpose, our lunch time, and basically everything.

2. Office culture: Micromanagement, interference in personal lives, working hours (12-14 hrs everyday), 6 days WFO, can't even go for 5 min walks, washing our own plates, sometimes they even made my female associates make coffee for the clients, monitoring phone screens of associates through zoom in camera, etc.

3. They purchased a new office and for around 2 months they made the associates do all the construction work post office and on Sundays (yes, you heard it right). I refused to volunteer and maybe that's the reason they let got of me.

This is just a small picture of the firm, as I was there for only for 4-5 months. I hope my 3 fellow colleagues from that time (who went through all of this with me) are at a better place now.

Hey! There is nothing called "presentation for callback." Presentation is an inherent component of internship at some firms. Talking about CAM, presentation and research paper is mandatory only for the 4-week interns. I presume you interned for 2 or 3 weeks. If not, i.e., you indeed interned for 4 weeks, then it's pretty strange.

This is very encouraging. Personally I know the managing partner, he is a great lawyer, this is the time where his leadership and administrative capacity is being tested. With exits and split, questions are bound to be raised on his leadership skills, but am sure he will rise to the occasion

This is strangely transparent. How do you get back against those you have grudges, it seems?

We have no clue who is in the wrong but we know who is spending hours plotting.

There have been attacks on this very platform on many individuals in this profession.

I think this lays bare what goes into some of the obvious malicious attempt to discredit some.

If you need a good answer - if its unbearable - walk out. If it crosses a line - formally complain.

Keep it simple. You're not doing anyone any favours with seeking help solve your grudges.

This line of thinking was what gave gundas business. You're not better if you go through.

Here's what I found - there's nothing you can really do other than make your own personal situation better in the team, so disarm with charm and kill with kindness. Seniors can only be horrid that many times in the face of absolute non-retaliation before they consciously self-correct. - M.K. Gandhi was onto something for sure.

IIULER Goa is listed in CLAT option for UG and PG. But when referred in Google, it shows that IIULER is Private University and they cannot Join CLAT Consortium as per the existing laws? So, whether really IIULER Goa is an NLU (government owned) or are they misleading CLAT Aspirants? Please give some insights on this

That's total nonsense. Your LLM does have to be niche. Teaching these days is mostly research-led teaching, so you need a specialism. Increasingly even in India, you need to be able to show proof to your uni of ongoing research and writing if you become an academic. Plus, LLM isn't really optional anymore. If you are thinking about abroad, no LLM and no PhD is like a disabled person with no legs trying to run a 100m race without a wheelchair. Academia everywhere is so credentialised these days that you need all the degrees you can get. Don't take someone like Nicolas McBride of Cambridge as a paradigmatic example of anything. Your usage of language seemed to indicate that you might think a non-postgraduate degrees pathway viable - like what McBride did. McBride is one of a kind: an academic without an LLM or PhD, teaching at Cambridge. That's got more to do with (1) when McBride entered the profession (at a time when further degrees in law were not viewed as essential requirements); and (2) because McBride himself is an exceptional guy with fantastic books on, among other things, philosophy of tort law and private law theories. Unless you have the guts to say you are the next McBride, you'll need to prove your academic worth via further degrees and publications to even get a foot in the door.

Honestly, avoid CAM unless you don’t have an option. The firm wide culture is toxic AF and the teams that defy this internally are few and far in between. While CSS pretends to be leading an international institution, any foreign firm with the culture that CAM has would be immediately ‘canceled’ in international circles. For instance, the ‘Maharathi’ email doesnt appear to have changed anything. Multiple other horror stories across teams which havent received that degree of public awareness. Even if they pay you well, which they don’t mostly, its just not worth it.
