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.

A total collapse of infrastructure needed for a mere civic existence, what good are the placements when students fight and kill for the most basic amenities?
After that it is very very bad place to be in.
You will need internal godfathers to grow.
So if you don't have one - learn and scoot.
People will come laterally with client books.
In the end, that is all that matters to everyone.
And most importantly, we have lost a connection with the students. It feels very transactional- one semester or trimester getting over feels like a merger getting over in a law firm. Not much personal connections with students, like we used to have during our student days. It's hard to remain motivated to teach.
I've done an LLM from India, and I have been a TA for LLM students as well. While there are people who're serious, most Indian students do not take up an LLM to join academia.
I wouldn't comment on J School because I have no experience with people there. But NLS is also valuing foreign degrees, in the sense that people fresh out of LLMs with foreign degrees have also been hired on contract.
Several times I've written it here.
Non NLU means degree shops.
No one has left JSA, one person came 9 months back and left - doesn't make a difference
Partnership is overrated.
But I am more interested in the options ahead. Adoption? Sperm donor and IVF? Forever childless? Dog mother? Cat mother? Still hoping to find a soulmate? Maybe devote spare time to politics and social service?
Curious because of the high numbers of women lawyers in this category I see, compared with women engineers or doctors or designers or MBAs, that’s all.
Also, always remember, I say this to everyone who cleared or didn't clear clat. It's a one day objective exam that is decide by one rank. If it's your day, you could get a tier 1, if it's not, you'll not even get a rank. That's enough to change your standing in life. So whatever you get or don't, don't worry and work hard, these 5 years will change your life. Focus on yourself.
Presently, I'm planning to prepare for government exams, especially the Public Prosecutor exams of various states, as it will provide me a decent pay, and respectable job profile, but when I connect with my college mates, they think that I'm a fool prepping for Prosecutor Job being an alumni of a T1 and atleast look for Judiciary as a career option. ( But, I'm least I interested in joining judiciary as a. Career, as I feel I would be more than happy to argue and present cases rather than deciding them). :)
Legally and structurally, it’s a ▮▮▮
