We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
MAYBE someone will care if you go the whole way and become a fully qualified UK solicitor (as in, not just passed SQE but currently on the Roll of Solicitors and with a valid practicing certificate for the year). But then there's a lot of admin and regulatory stuff you need to think about (for example you probably need to be insured etc and there are regulatory responsibilities etc)
Would employers prioritize this dual-qualification over deep sector-specific experience when hiring for senior in-house positions?
Is this the most effective path to increase my value, or should I focus on different specializations?
How does the current market view Indian-qualified counsel who obtain the Solicitor designation?
Secondly, if we are considering this is a good idea as a fresher. Which is the better city to move, Delhi or Bombay ?.
Sadly, law, and especially, if your son wants to do the stereotypical law (corporate houses or firms in a tier-1 city) is a highly, highly stereotyping profession that does not tolerate any divergence at all. There might be one-off examples here and there where the professors/tutors in education, and partners/teams in employment might be sensitive to the specific needs of a person, but these are so far and few and minuscule that it's not worth considering them. I see some of the comments here pointing out similar advice as negative, or stereotyping law, but that's just how law looks on the ground, and I'd rather your son have real overview of the profession than bullshit wrapped in golden foil of positivity and inclusion. Law is not there yet, and to promise someone that, especially when they are hoping to base a major portion of their life on it, is just wrong and misleading.
Studying law could be wonderful, and with the right peers/support groups, you son might have a wonderful time, but the professional law would not be this accommodating I am afraid. So my advice would be to consider alternative employments in law (if your son has genuine interest in law itself), that offer more agency to him, even though if it comes on the cost of reduced earnings, or stereotypical prestige lawyers are so boastful of [right now, freelance work comes to mind as a potential area of work, but I am sure it has its unique challenges, which freelancers would be better suited to comment on].
But regardless, good luck to you and your son specifically! I am sure there are ways to figure this out :)

(I did not attend NLSIU, and have no desire to do so as I am happy with my qualifications, so no special interest in highlighting this.)
bombay optics are max
this is general ofc varies depending on your team
It's true that stipend is not paid, if someone goes using reference.
Is it possible to go to the office regularly or at least on most days?
Also, is it true that interns who get in through a reference don’t get any stipend?
Once you process the advice from the above three, ask lawyers for cost and execution plans. You don’t need a incorporation lawyer as much as you need a tax + exchange control lawyer to guide you.
But I'd always say this- grass is greener on the other side.
Is this very common now at NLSIU and other NLUs too, given the slum-like conditions of most hostels?
Instead of constructively dealing with the allegations raised here, resorting to this is kinda low ngl
GNLU -12-13?
NLUJ - 17
NLIU - 14-15, apparently TMT teams of T1s especially
NLUD -16-18
RML - 4-5? but im not sure if they are T1
Latest was a SAM PPO yesterday
Note: I have heard that my mentor usually fills the feedback form pretty early.
LL cappfinity is great.

I am not even a feminist. Still this is the reality. These feminist writers rage bait. But are pointing to the correct issues.
