They might ask you about the discrepency in your transcript dates when you submit your transcript with your application. Plus, you can't stop whoever is writing your reference letters from telling them (though I hope nobody would do something dickish like that) (and this assumes that a prof (or multiple profs, as the case may be, depending on how many references the uni you are applying to require) would be willing to put their names on the line for a student who had failed multiple undergraduate exams). If your failure was due to extenuating personal circumstances, you should explain these in your SoP and to your profs at your current uni, too.

Even if we leave aside the question of admission, especially considering the favourable policy of your university, there's still the question of actually doing the master's. Would personally advise against it in your case. If you are struggling academically at undergrad itself, you are likely to struggle even more at the postgraduate level, too. Common sense. Advanced modules, tougher academic load etc. And failing in the UK can have some real shit consequences for your life. They are not at all forgiving in their transcript issuing policies, so if you fail a module there, it will follow you around forever. Their unis tend to have a policy where they will allow you to resit a failed exam, but they will cap the marks in the module to the minimum pass mark of the university regulations - 50% in some places, perhaps 40% in some others. I have been to a UK uni myself, so I know this from reading their regulations. What that means is that even if you do well in the resit assessment, they will input your marks on your transcript as 50% (assuming, for the sake of argument, that that's the minimum pass mark of whichever uni you get into). Something like that will destroy your life forever, even if you do get admitted - have seen the consequences of such a thing in the case of a friend of mine.

Obviously, they won't react so harshly if you have extenuating circumstances (something like illness, death in the family etc). In such a case, they will make you take the exam at the next available opportunity and count it as a 'first sit' (i.e., they won't cap your marks to the minimum pass). But that could still make things hard for you because of visa time limits.

Stick to bare acts, use ICAI resources for GST, refer to landmark case laws (Mohit Mineral level). Provisions for chargeability, taxation, penalty, amendment, appeal, etc. overlap with IGST angle. Reach out to IDT associates to understand the kind of matters they deal with. Good luc.

Raunaq’s departure should not be read as a reflection on S&R’s trajectory—if anything, the firm continues to go from strength to strength. That said, Raunaq is an exceptional lawyer, and her profile, at this stage, aligns well with the ambitions of a fast-growing, top-tier practice like Saraf & Partners, which is now actively building out its disputes offering. It’s a space Raunaq knows well from her time at S&R. Over the past few years, S&R’s disputes team has done some deeply interesting work, and as it continues to evolve, it will no doubt be looking for lawyers with depth in BIT disputes and a strong foundation in company matters. This move would make sense for everyone involved, and will almost certainly go forward with full support and goodwill.

Interned with the firm recently, the HR does not treat interns with kindness. The team was toxic, they used to call at 2/3 am to give work which was to be due in the morning. Used to work atleast 11-12 hours a day. Got very lil mentorship over the mandatory assignments for internship. Overall very bad experience.

Incidentally, the report doesn't discuss the state of legal education in West Bengal. Wonder where the state will rank on that? 😉

The tide is turning! Donald Trump passed EOs saying much of the same. Now the UK Supreme Court sides with terfs and lesbians who say that certificates dont change your sex. Who will be courageous enough to speak up for womens rights in India?

Final judgment: https://supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc_2024_0042_judgment_aea6c48cee.pdf

In a statement, Labour for Trans Rights said: “The Supreme Court’s decision is hugely disappointing, and a result of ceaseless lobbying from a well-funded anti-trans network with links to the global far-Right.

“We will continue to fight against all attempts to strip trans people of their rights, and will use all levers within the Labour Party to make trans voices heard.

Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman has given her reaction to the ruling.

She says: “This is a deeply concerning ruling for human rights and a huge blow to some of the most marginalised people in our society.

“It could remove important protections and will leave many trans people and their loved ones deeply anxious and worried about how their lives will be affected and about what will come next.

“Trans people just want to be able to live their lives like any of us, without the fear of prejudice or violence, but today they have been badly let down."

Hey everyone I'm currently working in law firm based of insurance law work but I'm not interested in the Said practice area and I want to switch to other practice area, like GC, M&A or capital market.

Any suggestions whether cold mailing to partner will work and from which partner I can expect a positive response

I respectfully disagree with the opinion stated herein regarding Sarvaank Associates. I recently had the opportunity to intern with the firm, and my experience was entirely positive. The team was professional, supportive, and ensured a conducive learning environment throughout my internship. Contrary to what has been mentioned, I was also paid a stipend for my work.

Recently joined a well-know T1 firm @ A0 ▮▮▮. One of the ▮Ps frequently comments on my WhatsApp status updates in a fairly casual manner. Sometimes I post political content, at times she agrees but occasionally gets into debates. Is it a good sign or a red flag? She is known to be very sociable in office.

Ambedkar>Gandhi + NehruPatel>Gandhi + Nehru

Bose>Gandhi + Nehru

Rajaji>Gandhi + Nehru

Tagore>Gandhi + Nehru

Gokhale>Gandhi + Nehru

SP Mukherjee>Gandhi + Nehru

And Raja Rammohan Roy probably greater than all the above combined.

Yet, ▮▮▮ gets to be Father of the Nation and have his face on all currency notes, while Edwina’s special friend gets every special institution named after him and his family members. 🙄

Obviously I'd do the same! Please stop being disingenuous. We all know this question is not asked in good faith - you yourself are envious because you couldn't do that, so please bugger off.

PS: And for a lawyer, you are remarkably cavalier with your terminology! Anyone with half a brain (and trust me, many British do not have half a brain, but even they!) would know that there is a difference between "trainee solicitor" and "associate"!

Just basing this on what I see. In general, it’s easier for women to get married in India than men, because of the historically skewed sex ratio in India. But I see so many women lawyers in their late 30s and early 40s who never married and will very likely be single lifelong. Many of these women are pretty successful, having reached partner and general counsel level, or having a good income from litigation. I wonder if the number of similar women in professions like IT, banking, medicine, etc are much lower?

If my assumption is right, then why is it so? Is it because guys don’t want to marry lawyers? Or because these girls are very picky?
