and what's the pay they are offering for that post.
I have just entered my second year in law school, and I am looking to start an internship at a corporate firm. However, I have no idea how to get started or where I may get a firm to do an internship.
If any of you can advise me, that may help out
Thank you!!
It's a good team with no glaring issues, with high quality work.

Whether any agency does it ?
Yet, we see a lot of high regard for SOAS in the elite NLU community, almost as if it comes just after Oxbridge in prestige and reputation. Why is it so? Is it because SOAS has a heavily left-liberal culture and it is the left-liberal ecosystem that sets the trend in India? I can’t think of any other reason!
- SC/ST/OBC
- Local domicile
- NRI
- EWS
- PH
Because I am one such candidate and I want to be realistic about my chances in the top NLUs, and whether I should keep JGLS and Symbiosis as my back-up.
Dear UCLA Law LL.M. Alumnus,
We hope this message finds you well. As you may know, we’ve reached a difficult point in international higher education in the U.S., and the landscape for incoming international students has been challenging, to say the least. As we prepare to welcome next year’s class of LL.M. students, we face substantial uncertainty due to the U.S. State Department’s ongoing freeze of international student visas.
This has left new availability in our fall class for those who do not need a visa, including Canadian citizens, U.S. citizens, and U.S. permanent residents who do not need a student visa. Foreign nationals presently in the U.S. on a visa that permits academic study are also eligible and encouraged to apply.
We recognize that this is all rather last minute and are offering substantial tuition grants in order to encourage applicants to jump on this opportunity.
The deadline to apply is Monday, July 7, 2025. Those planning to apply should email us their résumé so we can confirm their eligibility and share next steps in the application process.
If you know anyone that falls into one of these categories who might be interested in joining UCLA as an LL.M. this fall, please encourage them to apply. We welcome your referrals and letters of recommendation. Should you or anyone you know have questions about this, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Many thanks as always for your support of UCLA Law and the Bruin network! We look forward to keeping in touch regarding future alumni engagement opportunities.
Best wishes
Please contact me if you want my number is 6391890713
They hire in bulk (for a boutique law firm) and then nit pick and fire people ▮▮▮
Indian law firm: "Haan, haan, theek hain. You do your LLM in AI, BI, CI or whatever nonsense, with your own money. We won't sack you and you can join when you're back."
Simps on LI: "Indian law firms are so awesome and progressive!" 🥰🥰🥰
Can you guys explain this?
Yes, the Society of Indian Law Firms. A self-appointed cartel of status-quoists, whose primary mandate, it seems, is to protect their own turf while pretending to represent the Indian legal ecosystem. Let’s not mince words—this is a club of law firm proprietors writing the rulebook for foreign law firms, without so much as a nod to the larger legal fraternity. That’s not stakeholder consultation; that’s old-school gatekeeping.
And here’s the inconvenient truth: these firms don’t even employ 15% of India’s legal talent. Meanwhile, we have a surging supply of lawyers—many bright, many trainable—who are left disillusioned, disenfranchised, and disheartened by a market that simply doesn’t create enough meaningful opportunities.
We now have an NLU (or equivalent) in every state—some excellent, others middling, but almost all expensive and rigorous. If we’re going to subject young Indians to that grind, then the least the government can do is open the doors. Let foreign law firms come in. Let them practise Indian law. Let them litigate. Let the market breathe.
And if that ruffles feathers? Then let’s go the whole hog—shut down the excess NLUs. Tell young people the truth: we’ve created more lawyers than we know what to do with. And then, let’s do the responsible thing—support those who can’t find their footing in the profession, and help them transition into other careers with dignity and direction.
Because what we have now is a closed loop of privilege masquerading as policy. And the longer we pretend otherwise, the more talent we waste.
Dear Guest, can you confirm if bonuses for 2023-24 have been entirely paid for people who have left during 2024-25? Before you jump to respond with a feeble excuse, please check your balance sheets.
Truly hope karma can settle what the accounts team and higher ups couldn’t!
This ‘I don’t know what you are talking about’ attitude clearly shows lack of basic comprehension skills (and fraudulent intent) which has landed this firm into what it is today! Shame!
Which is a better career option. ( don't advice judiciary, as i'm not inclined towards) What are the differences in regard to Pay, work environment and other considerable things. Also, where can I see myself after 15 years in both fields. Any opinions and advise are welc0me, thanks :]
