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.

This platform owes much of its popularity throughout the years to juvenile inter-law school rivalry and trolling. That has been quite obvious over the years.
Ever since the new IT Rules came into effect and Kian withdrew from the forum, the quality of real or useful news has reduced drastically, which was not unexpected. Unfortunately, it got replaced with mostly trolling, name-calling, abuses aimed at individuals or institutions, political bickering and other toxic attempts at free speech, which was not surprising though undesirable.
In the light of this and given the lofty though fairly arbitrary standards that an occasional moderator has been known to espouse here, here is my question, are you actively trying to leverage toxicity, irrational hatred and abuses in the guise of anonymity and freedom of speech in order to bring back some of the past glory of Legally India or at least to sustain your fleeting relevance in the legal community? If so, then that is of course your prerogative, but at least you owe it to your readers and supporters to come clean about it.
I request the current administrator and ALL the moderators to respond to this, because your individual stance may differ from the forum's. If you don't see any problem with the posts and threads being allowed, then also kindly clarify that, so that we may understand your perspective. I am just doing this as a last-ditch attempt to keep my ties of over sixteen years intact with this platform, rather than leaving it and judging people for their continued and demonstrated association with it from now on. Call it misplaced loyalty or naivete or whatever you will.
Perhaps if you are doing an LLM with the eventual goal to enter academia, that is another conversation altogether (but I assume inquiring about the worth of a degree signals financial goals, and hence I will not expand on the academic value of the LLM).
Any insight about the team members, team culture etc? How do they function as a team across 2 locations - as different teams or a unified team?
I work at JSA, a law firm that is notorious for its policy of not having any family member work in the firm. People still circumvent this rule by living in live-in relationships. No one fucking cares, we are too busy working off in our own lives.
And just because other law firms are also partaking in this gross violation, doesn’t make S&R any better.
The rest of the JSA should learn dressing sense and presentation from them.
I'm pursuing a professional course and would so like to obtain LLB to enrol in Bar later on.
Would like to know colleges for 3 year LLB with no attendance requirements.
Ideally the college should be in tamilnadu, bangalore or andhra pradesh.
Any input would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Most professionals, and especially those at boutique law firms with limited resources, simply don’t have the time to produce podcasts. If you’ve ever been involved in organizing a webinar for a reputable law firm, you’ll know how many hours of effort and coordination go into it. I can only imagine that creating a podcast requires even more work, given the need for deeper discussion engagement.

While it's surprising that a practicing lawyer has time to churn out so many podcasts, ykiyk, kudos for the effort. Wish him the best.
Rishab Gupta, Nakul Dewan, Gourab Banerjee. These are all Indian firms and practitioners who actually represent India or foreign parties in international disputes. Also, there is no international law practitioner in India, including this firm. International law mostly refers to public international law. What they’re talking about is international arbitration and investor-state arbitration. Don’t take sides when you don’t know the basics.
PQE- 2 years
( Not Corporate law team!)
What CTC should I ask for?
There are three CM teams in CB, Viplaw, Khushali and one is a generalist team under Sanjay Buch.
The culture in the former two teams is questionable, the latter one is nicer but no hardcore CM work.
The learning is amazing, Saturdays are not off. The workload is significant. The associates are friendly, of the partner is very difficult to work with (may be subjective).
They are offering 9+variable.
They have a 3 year bond in place.
The team is VERY overworked, they do not have a senior associate. There is the partner and then directly people with 3-4 years PQE, which can sometimes make things tricky. (This is due to the attrition which is self-explanatory).
