Why does it matter that an inexperienced assistant professor and few students have come up with random metrics that gets to talk about the quality of journals that are the result of hard work of many over a long period of time? They have tried a good initiative, it doesn't have to be great or perfect. Doesn't need to validate anyone else's work either. Any academic worth their salt knows that these ranking processes for journals are mostly hogwash. Journals that are good are known for their quality among peers. For example, ILR didn't get famous because it's scopus indexed. It had made its rep way before that. Similarly, JILI, despite its age, is no longer that relevant. It being indexed in this metric won't really change that.

Ha ha! Lots of jealous haters who expected their university journals to he ranked high, but have got a reality check. They are dissing this ranking and simping for Scopus, but know very well that their university journals are not listed in Scopus either.

In any case, Jindal and ILR are listed in Scopus.

Hi buddy, if you don’t know then please don’t talk. First of all, ILR and JGLR are already listed by Scopus. Secondly, Scopus is not always suitable for law, because it does not recognise student journals published by NLSIU or NALSAR. It gives primacy to peer-reviewed journals. Thirdly, because of the reputation and prestige of NLSIU, there is a very good chance that this system may be recognised by the government, or at least during faculty recruitment. Fourthly, don’t try to demean an excellent effort.

Hi, i'm in my final year right now and i really don't know where i should work. I just wanna work at a place which has a good work environment and decent pay. i am a student from O.P. Jindal and was just wondering which firm should i aim to intern in for dec-jan that has the highest chance of offering a ppo or a job after i graduate. i've been thinking samvad, induslaw, mostly 2nd tiers because i dont think i can get a tier 1.

I was once virtually interning at a tier 2 law firm when I was in my 3rd year. I was assigned a A1 as my mentor and on the joining day he asked me call him at 12. I called him at 12:05 as my class got delayed by 3 – 4 mins. As soon as he picked up he said, “what time did I ask you to call?” with a voice when you have your teeth closed. I instantly apologized, but he insisted on me answering his question. I answered and he kept the topic going, after that, no introduction, nothing, he instantly gave me work, which I was supposed to deliver in the evening, and I did and I asked if that is okay or he wants me make any changes. He calls me next day and asks me to explain what have I done, I explained him and he just kept saying “accha, accha”. He wanted me to explain just to bully me. I accept it might not have the best work, it was literally a checklist, I may have missed out on some things. Trust me, it might not sound bad, but that accha accha made me tear up.

This happened for good 10 days, he used to call me, give me shit and give me more work, without any reference material, and I used to work from morning till 11 in the night along with classes and other college thing. One day he calls me and I was in class, he knew that I had classes that time, so went out of my class and picked up his call, he gave me work, explained me the proposition and as I just ran out of class I did not have a note book with me so I typed everything on my phone. Just to bully me, he asked me repeat me the proposition he just explained, and I did and I forgot to mention “one” word that he had said before, I only typed keywords. He screamed at me, got really mad, so I explained it to him and told him the word that I missed as well. He just said “I will find an intern who doesn’t have classes” and cut the call and did not accept my call after that.

I instantly drafted a mail to HR, apologizing and terminating my internship. I don’t mind working day and night, but the least you can be is being nice to interns. Later that month, he texted me on the day of diwali for some research, I without saying anything left what I was doing at my home and did his research. Sent him that, and told him I had resigned from internship days back.

I'm a Final year student with a core interest in Dispute Resolution. Have interned at firms like S&A Law Offices (twice)

I’m currently facing challenges in securing interviews or internship calls. I’ve reached out to several firms in the past months, but responses are either delayed or met with rejections, and in many cases HRs are simply unavailable.

As I approach the final leg of my law school journey, I’m reaching out with a humble and sincere request for guidance on how to proceed: 1. How should I prepare for interviews, especially in Dispute Resolution?

2. What kind of internships (or locations, teams, or matters) should I prioritize in the remaining months?

3. How do I strategically position myself to secure a placement before the end of 2025?

I would truly value even a few pointers from someone who knows how this journey unfolds in practice. I want to make this final year count, not just by doing more, but by doing what’s right. Open to any insights or direction. Thanks in advance.

Nothing. Wait three years - ASI is one the edge and its going to be so over. We already have AGI years before it was predicted. Last stages of normal humanity and you care about a CORPORATE Job? Go join that chamber g. Talk to people, have fun, learn new things, go out. This is objectively THE worst time to get a corporate job

What even is "12 internships"? Madness, no employer can take that seriously. Internships are for deeper understanding of the profession/practice area. Not to keep floating between them like a checklist. Even if you've done all these internships, please just highlight 2-3 (and 1-2 within them that are relevant to the role you're applying to).

I really doubt that, your thread is very narrow-minded in thinking that that they will be unable to pivot to the various opportunities available in the profession today. Many of them would have come with the thought of an alternate plan and will do something good. With the multiple law schools with negligible faculty and opportunities, people still come out and become great depending on their grit, these students will do no less.

Isn't it Cambridge's money to begin with? She showed how the use of 'smell' is essentially a tool for all privileged folks to de-sensitize the lives of many who have been subject to such insults, ofcourse you don't have a clue about it, coz other than maybe reading the first two pages of Avtar Singh's Partnership Law ( which is a classic now for most Law students, except they go for rattafication ), you haven't read shit in your life, you don't even know the impact Literature has had in so many historical moments, especially with vilification of minorities, religious, social and economic ( immigrants etc. ), you don't even know how Canterbury Tales of all texts is credited with deep-rooted Antisemitism, how seemingly harmless authors like Roald Dahl have also contributed to Anti-Semitism, and let's talk about Economics if you want to, I am pretty sure you haven't read what a lot of Economists write to this day, a lot of it has quantitative reasoning, but it has qualitative nuance to it as well, especially the Neoliberal School of Economics has brought back the ability for underrated analytical fields like Political Economy, Economic Geography, Welfarism etc. to be brought back in the mainstream, and that's why a lot of 'developed' and OECD countries that we see today, are nothing but a product of Neoliberal Welfare States, a lot of ideas for whom have stemmed for Egalitarian Literature written throughout ages, but Mr. BoxHead ( Chief of Bullshit Law at UselessDegree.Com ), won't think twice before understanding how extensive her literature was, I bet you haven't read a page of it ( I have for reference, and I truly admire her extensive research ), and you don't know much about getting a PhD both in English and in Economics ( you think it's hard because of 'quantitative' reasoning, and empirical analysis, can't be far from it, the most significant issue with graduating for a PhD in Economics is the ability to collect the required data, and understand how to analyze the data, to produce a scholarly and scholastic piece of work, that your institution, your advisor, and your Doctoral Committee deems good enough to graduate ).

So how about you stop being an ignorant anti-intellectual P.O.S.? who speaks on topics he has no clue about.

So can such research, in this age of hate, where 'body odor' is used in a negative context, and almost akin to an insult, not realizing that there are various parts of the world where people do carry body odor, and though they are used to it, it's still unhealthy and damaging, and without any doubt, must have had a significant impact on Labor Productivity.

Good Luck, convincing Governments across the world getting fund for establishing a 'Centre for Diffusion Theory of Innovation, Technology and Social Systems' but had you spent a day in formal academic circles of repute, you would've understood how important it is to understand the value chain innovative practices, products and principles create, and why they MUST be studied, I believe it's similar with Literature, the Author is more than capable to recognize the effect 'Smell' has had in Literature, an example is, use of these words in a negative context against Minorities to initiate a sense of alienation, and slowly corner them in all aspects of their socio-political and socio-economic life, this has been the case with so many minorities across the world, may it been the Depressed Classes of India, or The Afro-Americans in Northern America, The Jews back in the day, it's more than important to study this, but hey, this one uneducated, good for nothing, LI contributor thinks she's useless, whilst he went to NLU 'No-Placement-But-High-Fee' Nagar.

It's good that people like you are daring enough to show their ridiculous and callous views on others' scholarly work so openly, only shows how dwarf they are in any sort of understanding.

Hi everyone, i understand Indus pays more or less equally across different levels. I have an interview lined up for an SA position but i have been told by the recruiter they might also offer me an A4 position and promote later.

Can someone tell me genuine A4 and SA1 salaries for transactions team?

1. Yes, lateral hiring mostly happens through recruiters (maybe not Vahura since they focus on top level hiring), go for others or through a direct contact inside. Lateral does not work through cold emailing at most times, like internships.

2. Include internships, just reduce the info dump on it, stick to maybe just the names. Have to keep until senior associate levels, then can remove and just keep jobs.

3. Mostly on your CV and the work done, depends on the kind of work.

4. They do clash, not a lot of partners do weekend interviews. Have to take an off or switch off for an hour and all but thats something to figure out since you are anyway leaving soon, so who cares.

All the best, hope it works out!

Yes, I do regret every single day, the following,-

1. Having the most loving wife and family who support me

2. Earning Crores a year

3. Owning immovable property in Bombay

4. Being the fittest I have ever been in my life and having the time to work out, run, play golf etc.

5. The enjoyment and satisfaction I get from the work that I do.

I am far from the exception. There are many people like me.

Practice area matters.

If you are working on commercial contracts - you can go to a Gen Corp/TMT Team. Have to learn more. Still a good option.

If you are in employment you can join a law firm employment team.

Quality matter - Are you from a well known IT company with an elite legal team - Wipro, Tech Mahindra etc

I graduated from a T1 NLU, with a top 2 rank. Have been working in a T1 firm thereafter- I don’t have any publications, but have done prestigious international moots and ADR (though I didn’t do particularly well in them). Will the lack of publications/editorship hurt my chances at Oxbridge?

Hi i just graduated from Non-NLU, i had interned under good counsels in delhi. Still confused where to join for criminal trail practice, i had heard good things about Mr. Prabhav Ralli, Mr. Chirag Madan, Adv. Siddharth Satija & Adv. Sowjhanya Shankaran.

Can anyone recommend or advise me where to join from them or apart from them? It would be very helpful.

I am a final year student (BO’26) from idk what tier private law school. I have a SAM internship coming up in December. I want to know that how much chance I have for a PPO, considering they give at least one call back before offering a PPO. In a scenario where I perform extremely well and they give a call back and there also I perform extremely well.
