If teachers like this, no wonder the education system is in drains. You are the adult in this situation, you are incharge of guiding and motivating the children. Instead you turn it around and blame the students.,who barely have become adults. Remember your own days, how many 'highly' motivated classmates did you have ? We all know, it was like just 10% who really wanted to "learn". The rest wanted to just enjoy their college life, or complete attendance quotas or worry only when assignments and exams were due. Yet, remember there was always two or three professors who always had everyone's respect, who held the gaze and attention of all. Those professors never cribbed and complained like you do. They didn't blame the students. Instead, they empathised with the lack of attention of students, and taught in a way that helped everyone. Shame on you to not highlight these kinds of professors, yet come here and just cry.

be interested in your subject area, show/fake genuine enthusiasm, if you show interest your students would also become interested, interest is always infectious. It is difficult to show enthusiasm in your fourth class/tutorial of the day where you may have to go over the same topics which you have done for the last two years - even then adress your class as if it is the only topic in the entire world which matters.

be punctual, stay the course, do not show favortitism (although you may have favourites), use examples/analogies to explain concepts (this is the true mark of a good teacher), provide feedback, have an easy go attitude (esp outside class)

try out empirical research (if you are interested), it is sorely lacking, publish only in scopus (it is not a marker of quality, but is required for promotion), do not publish a book until you feel that you have acquired some idea/knowledge in the field, keep in touch with the industry, ultimately law is a practice oriented subject so it has to have some practical utlity (not just Kelsen), focus on how the impact of the law is and try to bring in the why

Oh yeah. I definitely will change careers. That was the point of the post. But I would push back on the idea that this is just some personal failing. People I have worked with across different institutions, male and female, old and young , foreign educated and not, all feel that something has changed. My older colleagues have told me that post covid batches are not like what we got before at all. Consider that it’s not always the teachers who are insufficient.

Are you denying that the trend in university education has gone way too far towards the "student-as-customer" model and that that is a bad thing? If so, why? Instead of name-calling, please provide meaningful responses. Moderators, please include a 'trollish' tag in addition to the redacting that has already been done.

How many times have you failed CLAT? I'm just asking because your parents' money seems to be repeatedly wasted, considering that what you need instead of more CLAT prep is a primary school "Reading and Literacy 1.1" class, where you start from the alphabet, all over again. You really do need that class - you know that, right?

I was interviewed by two offices. They’ve been happening in a staggered fashion since the end of May, from my understanding, as the vacation is on. I don’t think the process has concluded though.

More generally, the rank list merely makes the interviews a possibility. It’s not like the UPSC. It’s up to the discretion of the office to then further select people to interview based on the CV. Being on the rank list doesn’t entitle anyone to an interview automatically. I don’t understand the ‘non-transparent’ critique since discretion is inherently somewhat random and subjective? A person can like or not like a CV for any number of reasons. It’s like asking a law firm HR to list out why they liked or didn’t like a CV. Sure, rank is one objective metric but it is not the determinative factor here specifically because of the nature of the job, where you’ll be working out of a judge’s house and the relationship is a bit more interpersonal than a regular one of a boss and employee. Maybe a judge wants to encourage clerks from marginalised backgrounds, or the candidate has done some research that is relevant to their usual roster. All this can’t be captured by rank alone.

The registry clerkships do rely more heavily on rank so if you’re not dead set on a judge’s office, those recruitments will also happen later so keep an eye out.

Did this two years ago. Some people won’t receive an interview call from any judge and the entire process is fully discretionary. Judges may shortlist using the ranks but they’re not obliged to and can avoid it altogether. But Registry will conduct interviews after judges finish theirs. Anyway the point is, don’t depend too much on this. Better to directly apply to a judge that you want to work under. In any case, the clerkship is just a 1 year contract and hardly holds any value.

Please don't talk rubbish and justify the hiring of poor faculty. A large number of people teaching at NLSIU and Jindal are NLU alumni from Kolkata. Among social science faculty, places like JNU, TISS and the IITs are swarming with people from Bengal. Yet, NKC will hire terrible faculty and deliberately overlook the pool of good talent from Bengal -- for reasons all of you know.

I'm really disgusted to see the pro-NKC posts being put up here by vested interests.

I am from the BO 26 and have done some decent internships in the past including one tier -1 . However i was not able to convert it. Can someone pls suggest to me which firms to apply to or what I should do? Any advice will help. I am only getting internships at this point of time, not even assessment internships. I have an interest in corporate and ipr.

Honestly, it’s funny how you’re quick to criticize someone who’s literally built their legal career from nothing and done a lot to boost India’s arbitration reputation. You clearly don’t get how much effort that takes.

Instead of writing pointless posts like this, maybe try doing something useful yourself. Your words just show how useless and insecure you are. May you achieve something in life

If there is one thing you'll see when you move away from this website, is that there are no chill work hours ever, anywhere, anywhere of substance atleast. T1 or T2 or T3 work hours will stay mostly the same unless your team is a sinking ship. What matters is the people which again are good bad and average everywhere unless you yourself are a horrendous human.

All things considered in your 20s my advise would be to stick wuth a tier 1 and gradually look for a shift when priorities change and responsibilities increase. T1 is definately easier in your 20s than any other stage.

I think he is known more for his work in area of #emergencypowers overseas, and in JGLS itself he is mostly known for Criminal Procedure and Evidence. He used to teach an elective on Law and Psychedelics but I think he has stopped it now. Cannabis decriminalization is just one of the things he is doing. We should take a look at the entire body of work someone has done before labelling them.
