Yes 1000% and anyone who says no has never met a serious JEE aspirant in their life (or is completely delusional). At the end of the day CLAT is a basic exam that doesn't require in depth knowledge of anything. Compared to JEE which is vast and has tons of technical concepts with rigorous testing. Matter of fact, many students who do well in CLAT and reach top 5 NLUs are folks who failed to clear engineering exams.

I am not deriding CLAT aspirants or toppers; they are great students and brilliant individuals. That being said, when it comes to clearing an exam, JEE aspirants will blow them out of the water and it won't be a close race.

no. there was more friction and more shame. there was one guy on your batch who was creepy who had a huge porn collection. The rest of the men might have pretended to be into that- but they actually werent.

You realise this when youre a young woman dating an older man- they tend to treat you more gently, they actually care about how youre feeling and what youre going through. they actually see you. younger men dont even really want you- they just want a warm body to project their porn fantasies on. its sad.

From what I heard older generations didnt have fast internet, but they got porn on discs and USB drives. So why is Gen Z singled out?

**Hey folks,**I’m from a non-NLU, fairly mediocre law school — not from the big league, but I’ve been consistent with internships (though not at Tier 1 firms yet). I’m now trying to land an assessment internship at a Tier 1 or Tier 2 firm.

I’ve already tried cold emailing HRs, messaging partners and associates on LinkedIn, and applying through official career pages — but haven’t had much luck so far.

Would really appreciate any tips or suggestions from anyone who’s managed to break in from a similar background. What worked for you? Anything specific that helped you stand out?

yuck. all those names suck. strawberry fields is a classic song. If all you see when you listen to the beatles is four white guys- and that for some reason brings you shame. Please stop talking to other people about music and go find your soul wherever you left it. the beatles did more to combat racism than your woke ass ever did. they desegregated places in america that would have never been desegregated.

I mean in favour of civil liberties, free markets and limited government. Against welfarism and identity politics. Oppose both the arrest of the Ashoka University professor and the case against Nupur Sharma. Support privatisation. Oppose corruption. How common is this ideology in NLUs?

I certainly don’t expect to be greeted with open arms, but as long as I am not ostracised like conservatives, I am fine with it.

Love that for you!! May I ask which NLU you went to?

I’ve set my eyes on NLSIU, and want to write CLAT this December. My parents wanted me to start with some private law school in my city from this July onwards, because they said that a girl graduating at 26 is “too late”

Appreciate your response! And would love any advice you might have for me too!

Hi OP, small correction - it isn't the job of a corp lawyer to not let matters go to court. Rather, it is to specifically draft agreements in a language that when natters inevitably go to court, their client have a stronger hand. Moots and ADR give them exposure on what may happen in a court and thus how they can avoid common fallacies in agreements. e.g. On something as simple as a jurisdiction and dispute resolution clause, I've seen freshers be confused as to what works well for their client and what may lead to dead ends.

I disagree. ADR and Moots not only help people with picking up transferrable skills like analytical thinking, knowing how to approach a problem, working in a team etc., but also show that the person is determined enough dedicate a portion of their law school to a single thing, which is why just participation in moots like Vis opens more doors than you can imagine. It’s a great way for recruiters to sift candidates. Other than that, moots are great way to showcase that you know the basics of a practice areaq. They also help people pick up soft skills like networking. So, yea doing the right moots and ADR comps is fairly imp in law school

Sure it is. With that logic, why do lawyers need to have studied science or economics in school either? Those are also useless for us. The point of moots is not to make you a great corporate lawyer, it’s to help refine the way you think about issues. You can get by just fine without ever having mooted, but all the top law schools have good mooting records via their students. And it definitely adds social capital within and outside of law school.

I would argue that there's not a lot that can really act as a distinction for one to pick and choose between law students. If anything, at the very least ADR helps one in building one's negotiating vocabulary. It also builds connections so one should give it a try for sure. Agree completely about moots though!

I think that this perspective has a lot going for it. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's about 95% (or more) right.

At the same time, such activities can help with skill-building and honing of important skills required to be a commercial lawyer, such as teamwork, presentation, coming up with creative solutions and working under pressure. True, ADR and moots are not the only (or even the best) way to build those skills, but they are one way to do that. Therefore, I'd change your headline to 'ADR and moots are not the most useful things aspiring corporate lawyers can be doing, but they aren't entirely useless either'.

1 - single rooms are rare due to space crunch. if needed due to medical reasons you can get
2 - Basics. Lights, fans, table, chair, bed, cupboard, balcony (4th and 5th year), wifi, Split AC, Heater

3 - everyone keeps a kettle, induction, iron etc. Split AC and Heater is already installed in each room, why would you install a cooler?

I understand that Luthra is acting on the instructions of their client, but I hope that the client has been warmed of the dangers of taking on these two? Tweets by them resulted in Mahua Moitra getting suspended, Pinaki Mishra being denied a ticket, Darshan Hiranandani giving a humiliating public apology and Shardul Shroff being embarrassed.

Also, it was Iyer Mitra who initially flagged Celebi and the claim about alleged proxy ownership by Erdogan’s daughter.

Its true. Just look at the parking lots of T1 lawfirms in Mumbai. PAs usually buy semi-luxury cars like Jeep Compass (top model), Skoda Superb, Volkswagen Tiguan. Junior partners are buying entry level luxury cars like Audi Q3, Mercedes CLA/GLC, BMW X3/3 Series with Equity partners keeping X5s, i7s, GLE/GLS, RR Velar/Sports for themselves. There are senior partners buying top end Range Rovers, Bentleys, Porsche/Ferraris and G-Wagons' as well. This shows the kind of luxury lifestyle that is catching up in the lives of corporate lawyers.

Professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad of Ashoka University has been arrested for, what his arguing counsel described, as a patriotic post. In this post, Professor Mahmudabad, among other things he says -

“………I am very happy to see so many right wing commentators applauding Colonel Sophia Qureishi but perhaps they could also equally loudly demand that the victims of mob lynchings, arbitrary bulldozing and others who are victims of the BJP's hate mongering be protected as Indian citizens.

The optics of two women soldiers presenting their findings is importantly but optics must translate to reality on the ground otherwise it's just hypocrisy.

When a prominent Muslim politicians said

"Pakistan Murdabad" and was trolled by Pakistanis for doing so- Indian right wing commentators defended him by saying "he is our mulla." Of course this is funny but it also points to just how deep communalism has managed to infect the indian body politic.

For me the press conference was just a fleeting glimpse- an illusion and allusion perhaps- to an India that defied the logic on which Pakistan was built. As I said, the grassroots reality that common Muslims face is different from what the government tried to show but at the same time the press conference shows that an India, united it its diversity, is not completely dead as an idea…..”

Let’s discuss this, and the common sense and legal arguments and propositions that come in Professor Sahab’s favour at the Hon’be Supreme Court.

I am interested to know this. Did Sudhir outline or ever go into specifics regarding what exactly he hates about CLAT? His mate from Oxford, Shamnad Basheer, once made fun of it in a public lecture he gave which I attended. But he, too, did not go into specifics.

Clarification: The question is not meant to convey that CLAT is a good exam. There is a lot to hate about CLAT (it's just a low quality exam), I am just curious to know what particular thing(s) about it one of India's foremost academic lawyers wouldn't like.

Hello everyone ,

I got a rank in early 200s which will comfortably give me both NUJS and NLU J- I am confused since NUJS has a legacy of being in top3 (I am very attached to that tag) but currently NLUJ is making great strides. I want to make an informed decision being cognisant of the fact that I will graduate in 2030.

CJI sent Justice Bela Trivedi and Justice Aravind Kumar for GNLU 2024 convocation. Similarly Justice Dipankar Datta, Justice Joymalya Bagchi can come to NUJS for convocation. It should be one batch at a time. All 5 convocations should be done in 6 months in tenure of Justice Gavai

As one of the youngest in my Nalsar class, I thought I was winning some kind of race but the emotional immaturity is a disadvantage and everyone loses those years at some point in their career - illness, career switches, time off for family, something comes up for each person. Just focus on your present and remember it'll all even out between everyone in the next 20 years and this won't matter at all.
