2 LLBs >>> LLB
The best phase of one's life, if you want to go classes, go; else, just party all night (make sure you are allowed to give exams without attendant; otherwise, maintain the bare minimum attendance)
Enjoy your days, these won't ever return. Don't take life that seriously for that one year, life after college is anyway going to be hectic and serious by all means.
Enjoy kid!
Top engineers (look at placement figures of even tier 2 colleges like RV college, pesit, etc) outearn corporate lawyers by miles
JA?
One can only pray for the women in that college.
IITs, NITs can expand because there are lakhs of engineering jobs. Even these colleges are suffering because of too much expansion.
There are hardly 1000 new corporate law jobs in India created every year.
People don't go for Jindal LLB dreaming a job. They are filthy rich and job is an option.
Let's be honest, most people pursue CLAT dream to become a corporate lawyer.
NLS was elite when there were 80 kids. Everyone got into top LLMs abroad and corporate jobs.
Now with batch size of JGLS. There will be unemployment. Actual unemployment.
Everyone won't be able to get placements.
NLS fees is very heavy. Almost JGLS like. NLS attracts many poor and Middle class kids unlike JGLS.
Many of these kids are gonna be unemployed.
Earlier NLS was a close knit university. Now it's JGLS pro max with nlu legacy.
Can anyone please tell me how's the state of NFSU for a Phd in criminal justice? I am a practicing advocate and I am thinking of switching to academia. I have already done my LLM in criminal law and have a NET.
I have been practicing as a criminal lawyer for a decade and due to the shift to academia, I was adviced to go for a PhD asap.
I came across NFSU and it's an interesting prospectus on criminal law specific area of study.
However, I am getting mixed reviews on it. Can anyone give a genuine response? Please do not joke around.
Only in the Indian state of West Bengal: An authority figure feels it acceptable to attempt to defend his associations with such persons. This is why, despite saying that I am a Bengali with pride, I am glad that I have lived outside WB for the vast majority of my life, and never plan to return.
At the same time, however, one must ask why posts like these aren't the norm, whereas posts about "sports stars of law firms" are more representative of the kind of stuff you get to read and comment on here?
ACB: “We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”

I belong to middle income household and wish to earn to cater to my responsibilities. Which one should I choose for a decent switch to fulfill my goals.
And what would that switch be?
I'm a second-year student from a T1 NLU. I've always been interested in technology. I've got a couple publications under my belt, a decent batch rank, moot court achievements, you get the picture. However, so far, I've been unsuccessful in convincing any of the law firms I've come across to offer me an internship in the field of TMT Law, despite applying for them several months in advance. I do not blame them, perhaps being a second-year student is too young to be working in a firm set-up TMT practice, and they're not willing to bet on me. Which is why I'm looking for Advocates or Senior Advocates who are seasoned in the field and would likely be receptive to an internship request. I can research, I can draft, I can work upon whatever is required, I just need an opportunity. I would be grateful for any leads or advice on the same. (I'm a first-generation law student from a modest family. I have no connections or network that I can leverage for this.)
Otherwise it’s great if you huddle over HR and management.
Considering options;
1. MBA post 2 years of PQE
2. Starting disputes as trainee at another firm.
How to get started with option 2? Where should I reach out?
