Hmmmmmm........if an alumnus of NLS uses such a flawed logic based on incomplete information to justify his argument in the Karnataka High Court, then it calls into question the quality of education he received while at NLS.

NLS rightfully deserves the tag of 'Hayward' of the East.

I wanted to know about the pay which the company is offering, the kind of work you get, what are the working hours and the behaviour of seniors in general.

I really wish to work as an insurance lawyer and my options are limited. Hence, I need an idea regarding the same.

I'm a Law student in my Final year, my college isn't very encouraging or even the seniors and classmates are not very big on internships i come from a no lawyer in family background so all was okay but i recently joined internships and i see kids younger than me literally in their first year with numerous internship experience so i feel like i lacked too much and contemplating about what to do about my situation since im already in my final year am i too late

Arun ji had discerning taste—especially when it came to Indian savouries. Shiv Mishthan Bhandar held a particularly soft spot in his heart… and, some might say, a curious sway over his palate. Not every halwai in Delhi could claim to have a Senior Advocate, Finance Minister, and master strategist eating out of their hands. But then again, not every halwai knew how to season things just right. IYKYK!

Does your partner/PA/SA let you work from home post 1 am for the all nighter day or are you in office? Asking because I don’t know.

If partner/PA/SA is in office I get it , otherwise I think it is okay to go home and work and grab a quick nap. Is this what most people do?

Only one correction, the suspension letter was indeed issued and almost handed over. At the last moment, at the insistence of the last ▮▮▮, the matter was kept aside. The current ▮▮▮ is trying to gaslight the GB, saying that there was an investigation where this individual was declared innocent, which never happened.

I'm currently working at a T2 firm but intend to switch to a T1 soon. Can you help me answer the follow questions:

1) Are legal recruiters like Vahura etc legit? Or do we just directly apply to big firms

2) Now that we are no longer in university, how do we tailor our new CV? Do we still need to include where all we had interned?

3) How to prepare for lateral interview at A0 - A1 level? What kind of questions are asked?

4) When do interviews take place? Do they clash with work days? In that instance, I may have to take days off.

I would be very grateful if someone can answer these questions.

Guys, your I-hate-NLS itch needs scratching so often, you need help. You sound like the British prior to 23 June 2016. And I'm not telling you the significance of that date. You went to universities that are alleged (and I use the word "alleged" advisedly) to be better than NLSIU. You find out that date's significance yourself, if you don't know it already.

Look mate, tell me of any well-reputed law university or university law school in the world, the majority of whose successful graduates aren't commercial lawyers. Then we'll talk. NLS has produced its fair share of courtroom advocates, academics etc. More than enough to have made its mark.

Which of these is correct?

1. As he says, he genuinely wanted to quit and spend time with his kids, make way for the young generation.

2. Will join politics.

3. Will focus on writing, teaching, maybe an honorary professorship at an NLU or Jindal —- rebrand as a consti law jurist.

hi, so i have completed two years into the profession. i want to understand how to get in touch with foreign law firms? is it easier to reach out to them after a llm or directly while working through their website or through recruiters? I also want to ask, will it not be more convinient to get in touch with law firms after clearing the SQE? this way they will save on cost of funding my SQE exam and the prep and I can directly get started with work? also, i think Indian practising lawyers get an exemption from giving the SQE II if we have practised for 2/3 years.

Additionally, do you think with the talks of foreign law firms coming to india and the BCI trying to make amendments, having cleared the SQE will be of any help?

Please let me know your thoughts.

I’m from a very humble law college with no placement support, and I’ve been selected for the NISM LL.M. in Capital Markets & Securities Law (with MNLU Mumbai). The program claims 100% placement with offers from law firms, banks, NSE, BSE, investment firms with ₹6.33 LPA average and ₹11.59 LPA highest CTC.

Would be grateful for honest views from anyone knowledgeable about the ROI and career prospects of the program.

IC RegFin Legal is offering a package of 20.50 lakh in day0 of all top law schools for 2026 batch and has handed over several PPOs already. 1.40 lakh monthly fixed being offered plus annual bonus. Upped it from 20 lakh offered last year to the 2025 batch where also more than 15 hirings were done. Good practical conduct to showcase that one means serious business. this consistent year on year package is higher than most of the tier 1 firms so why to get into unnecessary debates. Let someone relatively new keep breaking the barriers, good for the growth of the overall market which can see more firms paying well.

Pros:

*Bigger Campuses

*Less Fund Crunch

*More Diverse Peer Group

*Government can also concentrate their funds on One Uni

*Some NLU's can immensely benefit from Branding

*The NLU's merging with IIM's will get better faculty for the BBA Component programme

*Better BA faculty, since some IIT's already have decent BA faculty as well

*Chance to pay better salaries to NLU Faculty

The average T1 NLU grad (from the early 2000s) is nowhere near the high flying lives people vicariously live through. The capable professionals are living lives similar to corporate executives (just like the average Indian T1 MBA). Which is nothing to scoff at, in a country like India - they own a 3/4 BHK home in NCR/BLR/BOM, their kids go to a high achieving private school, they do a nice holiday every year, own 2 cars, have a cook/cleaning staff.

They DO NOT own Rolexes/APs/Pateks, do not fly first class, do not own a >50L car, and shop at (nice, but not the highest end) malls. Their kids aspire to an Ivy League undergrad, and settle for Ashoka if they can't hack that. Nothing wrong with this life, in fact, the proliferation of CLAT coaching in T3 towns in India is aspiring to this, since engineering and medicine do not offer such a direct pathway to this life anymore (for the average graduate, obviously the highly capable in any discipline have different aspirations).

The true 1% of the legal profession (1cr/day senior counsel, rainmaker equity partners at T1 firms) are in a league unto themselves. There are T1 NLU graduates in that scene, but they are there largely owing to their own hustle or nepo connections. The T1 NLU tag is just window dressing after a point. Much like the HWS MBA in American high society.

New generations of students joining NLS should be advised to moderate their aspirations and not be taken for a ride by FOMO and social media induced perception.

Because aren’t Rajya Sabha seats (whether elected or nominated), usually given only to senior Supreme Court lawyers, like Singhvi, Jethmalani, Sibal, etc?

Incidentally, the BJP also gave an RS seat to Manan Mishra. So the trend under Modi seems to be to give it to non-elite lawyers, not the super-elite ones.

The world over, find me a good law school that is not part of a larger university ecosystem. It is only in India that we have stand-alone law universities (in the form of state NLUs). Forensic analysis was there even before NFSU, but this time it is the speed and scale (aided by technology) that is the difference made by NFSU. If a lawyer or a law student does not know the value of forensics in delivering justice, then they don't deserve to be in this profession. Everything that "Khyber" had mentioned two years back is coming to fruition with regards to NFSU, and the party has just begun.
