"All BA LLB Hons students shall be provided accommodation"
This doesnt imply its mandatory right
This is not what Professor Menon envisioned nor expected from India’s first and most prestigious NLU. Ask any NLS alumni and their memories and learning must be their memories of campus when they lived, ate and played together and also studied.
The residential university’s character is lost when you fail to build enough housing for students and admit them for money and ask them to stay with their parents or in exploitative PG accommodations.
Don’t reduce NLS to a local degree college of Bangalore University.
from the pov of placements, performance in moots etc
Wish both physical and mental health become higher priority than academic health.
In the same situation
But here's something people conveniently forget: once upon a time, even the IITs and NITs were state-run institutions. For example:
IIT Roorkee was a state engineering college (Thomason College of Civil Engineering).
IIT BHU was part of Banaras Hindu University.
IIT Dhanbad was the Indian School of Mines under state control.
NITs were all called Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs), fully state-managed in collaboration with the Centre.
Over time, these institutions were recognised for their contribution and granted INI (Institute of National Importance) status.
So if you're mocking NLUs for being "state universities", you're basically mocking the early stages of every great institution in India. We’re on the same trajectory.
Also, let’s clear this — we don't look down on any institution that gets INI status. In fact, we want it. We need it. Because we believe law education is just as important as tech or medicine in building the nation. So why shouldn’t NLUs be recognised for the national impact we already make?
So next time before throwing shade, just remember: today's “state university” can be tomorrow’s “national pride.”
I have heard one of the IPR faculties basically had students add the faculties names as co-authors to their publications without doing any work lol. You’re better off doing your LLM elsewhere honestly.
try NLIU/HNLU in vacancies

SA1: 125k to 140k

Corporate team is pretty good if you get a chance to work more with JNC, the senior partner instead of SS, Partner and MD, Managing Associate.
This is the 27th state NLU now hiring. Sikkim is India's only tax-free state (no income tax).
So, I have my 10th, 12th marksheets, certificates and migration from college...all except the character certificate. Since its been so long school won't issue either (its govt school).
So, will this cause a problem and how can I solve? Most probably I will be getting NUJS, I looked at their instructions which said to upload scanned copy of character certificate and then during physical verification also original will be needed.
And as a side note, here is an interview of the lady who accused Gay of plagiarising her work

The Haveri Sessions Court recently granted bail to seven primary accused: Aftab Chandanakatti, Madar Saab Mandakki, Samiwulla Lalanavar, Mohammad Sadiq Agasimani, Shoib Mulla, Tausip Choti, and Riyaz Savikeri. All had been held in judicial custody for several months following their arrest in connection with the gang rape of the 26-year-old woman.
The survivor, who belongs to a minority community and was reportedly in a long-term relationship with a 40-year-old Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) driver, had checked into a private hotel in Hanagal on January 8, 2024. Police investigations later suggested that the woman was dragged from the premises and taken to a nearby forested location, where she was gang raped by a group of men.
…
The case originally began as an instance of moral policing. Local police had initially registered it as such, given that the survivor and her partner were an interfaith couple staying in a private hotel room. It was only after the woman provided a formal statement to the magistrate on January 11, that police added gang-rape charges.
In comments, please list out the disputes team with a work life balance (name of the partner & name of the firm).
Looking to switch from my current T1 disputes.
