Good evening sir,

Thank you for your response. You make a very fair point. But I've already completed 6 internships under advocates, with 2 of them being with Sr. Advocates. But all of them were engaged with civil disputes only. I just wanted to have some exposure to the practice area of TMT, be it dealing with the specific regulations, rules or the applicable appellate bodies. I have applied to several law firms (not limited to TMT), but given my academic year (I'm in my second year, Bo'29), none of them have replied positively to my applications to them. And that is why I thought that perhaps working with a Sr Advocate who regularly engages in TMT matters would be a solution to this conundrum. In any case I would continue to do the best I can, and make sure my fundamentals remain strong, as you suggested.

These recent LinkedIn posts have become so annoying. I have noticed a curious trend:

You close a funding round for a logistics company — and suddenly it’s about “redefining the childhood dreams of our kids.”

You advise a SaaS startup — and it’s “transforming the air we breathe.”

You help someone raise money — and it’s “about building a sustainable future, one cap table at a time.”

Let’s be honest:

Not every transaction is a climate mission.

Not every equity round is a revolution.

And not every document signed is a legacy moment.

Sometimes a deal is just… a deal.

And that’s okay. We don’t need to wrap everything in emotional packaging to feel it matters.

Gosh! Let’s get back to letting our work speak for itself. without turning it into a TED talk.

People making 2L a day at Saket are not restricted just to Saket - they go to other district courts & HC too. Mostly because they are in demand everywhere.

You may find a better answer to your question if you elaborate on why you're asking this. Looking to join a rainmaker? But why? It's not like the raindrops will trickle down to the juniors & the interns.

My quick 2-cents. May add more as I get time to write in detail.

1. Read. Like, a lot. Read not just what your college is teaching you (which won't be a lot, frankly). Irrespective of what your peers are doing, read. Read the judgments - don't rely just on dukkis and articles. Also read books related to law. Regularly read blogs on areas of law you are interested in (for eg, for Constitutional Law, perhaps indconlawphil; for Corp, indiacorplaw) - more so after your third year or so after you're familiar with the field of law. For now, start reading up on the basics — I remember a thread posted on LI some 2 years ago about what all should a law student read. Start from there, maybe.

2. Intern like crazy. At your internships, focus on two things, over all else — learning & networking. Both of these will take you far.

3. Your network is your net worth. Build it.

Hey everyone,

I’m doing my BA LLB from a decent state university (not an NLU), and I really want to make the most of these five years. I know the NLU tag helps, but I’m willing to bridge that gap.

Any advice on what I should do to compensate to the NLU loss, Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in the same boat or has tips. Thanks

A man who is supposed to have read law as an undergraduate at Oxford. He then worked at Clifford Chance, the magic circle law firm, for a couple of years - in their London office. He then went into legal reporting. The reasons for that career shift are ones into which, as the Bishop in PG Wodehouse's character Mr Mulliner's story about his nephew Augustin's rise in the church, says, "we shall not enquire". Evidently, however, he did not flunk his training contract, because he stayed on for a year after the TC period of two years. His last-known career exploit was the founding of this hellscape of a platform.

Again to quote that fountain of wisdom, Wodehouse, or more accurately, his character PSmith, "the saddest words are these: 'It might have been'." Had this man Ganz confined himself to being a commercial law wizkid in London, us mere mortals may have enjoyed a great deal more mental peace in our lives.

Then:

- KK Venugopal

- Gopal Subramanian

- Dipankar Gupta

Now:

- Kalyan Bandopadhyay

-Sanjay Basu

- Sandipan Ganguly

Would be interested to hear people’s thoughts on this.

Wow. Comments are a cesspool of incels and misogynists. Try and comprehend (I know it's an uphill struggle for you lot) that the woman requires to be maintained to the same standard she enjoyed before the divorce. This is the very least that is required in a society such as ours.

1. In order to publish a research paper (RP), pick an area of law, narrow down a topic within that area and try to read up on material surrounding that topic. There are multiple websites that explain this in detail. Then, you can start writing.

2. You can either publish a paper by yourself or with a co-author. In most cases, journals don't allow more than 2-3 authors on one paper.

3. After you're done writing your paper, shortlist journals that fit the topic and the area of law you've chosen and go to their website. The process to send them a paper will be written down.

Journals have different types of articles (i.e. essay, case comments, blogs, book reviews, etc.). The criteria for each type of article is mentioned on the website.

4. It is more difficult to get published in a Scopus-indexed journal than in an NLU journal because Scopus indexed journals go through multiple rounds of rigorous reviewing and can easily take up to a year (this is what I have heard so do your own research as well).

5. NLU Journals are always a good start. DO NOT:

> go for any journal that makes you pay a fee for publishing.

> go for any journal that promises to publish your paper in a day or two. Most journals take 2 months to review your paper.

6. You can also opt for blogs, but they need to be relevant topics.

can someone please help me get a good publication?

how can i get a research paper published?

can i write it all alone or should i do it with someone?

how does one get it published?

is it difficult to get that scopus indexed thingy?

can you suggest some good journals to get it published? (it’s my first attempt so low hanging fruits pls)

many thanks

NDTV accesses documents showing Ashok Deb personally pushed for Kolkata rape accused Monojit to be given job at law college… CNN News 18 accesses letter showing law college principal had twice complained against Monojit to the police (nothing was done).

One wonders now whether Ashok Deb will be appointed to the NUJS VC search committee? Probably not, after this? But he will definitely stay on as governing body member ex officio and continue to wield huge influence.

Hi all, batch of 26 here, I am interning at IndusLaw, TMT team, in July. I previously interned in Jan 2025 and was offered a callback (was explicitly told in writing that it's an assessment) for the month of July 2025. considering the timings vis-a-vis day zero placements - what is the likelihood of getting a ppo/job offer based on this internship? for some clarity, i will not be sitting for placements owing to some extenuating circumstances (please don't advise me to do so, i have exhausted all possible avenues, and it is unfortunately just not happening for me lol)

further, if anyone has any advice or can give me any details about the overall indus ppo process and timelines, i'd really appreciate it!

That's not true at all. Plenty of folks who don't get placed on or before Day Z intern throughout their final year. This is in fact how most people with lower grades are in fact able to secure positions at good firms. Certain firms in NCR and almost all firms in Mumbai offer 6 month long paralegalships to these final year students, which often get converted into a full-time position at their completion.

This is probably the most important court case happening in India right now. A conviction pretty much means the end of the Congress party.
