Hey, I am 2024 pass out from one of the two oldest law schools of Maharashtra and was working in a boutique disputes firm but within less than a month got cancer, 9 months later I’m looking to go back to work but haven’t found luck in disputes as many rejected me because now they can’t vouch for me being in disputes because of the high paced courtroom to courtroom work. I also feel that at this time this is something very tough so I’ve thought of switching practice areas and getting into banking & finance or IPR. Would be really grateful for any leeds to an internship opportunity which could be later converted to a job.

Thanks

Because top law firms and top counsels seem out of the question. The options in a legal career are to join either lowly law firms or lowly counsels for a pittance, then struggle for 15 years before earning a decent salary, which may or may not swell.

On the other hand, a government job or an MBA seems a better option, but the high cutoffs in the general category seats mean that only the cream of the crop make it for the most coveted positions.

So what are the remaining options? LPO? MBA from a lower ranked institute? Perhaps enrol somewhere in Canada or New Zealand?

Frankly, Mohit would have done a better job than Harry. It’s a shame that the fall out happened before RKL’s death. I wish Mohit was around. He would have been a great leader. He is tough but a fair guy. It’s his cronies who is a problem. One has left for greener pastures to cam but other two toxic people are still there.

Bio says: “Rocket Scientist. Lawyer. Social Engineer (MEng Space Systems Engineering,LLB,LLM)”

### University of Southampton

#### Master of Engineering (Integrated 4 year MEng) in Space Systems Engineering Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical/Space Engineering

After this, he did an LLB from DU (which he perhaps incorrectly describes as one of the world’s top law schools) and got a second division, then did his LLM from NLU Assam. Also interned under Justice Ranjan Gogoi.

A very interesting bio. I guess he could have stayed on abroad and had a STEM career, but chose to come back and go into law and politics.

When I said, I don't agree with this, I meant I don't agree with Sudhir on this. If this was sent other University, people would've filed cases in Karnataka High Court against this. But people here are hesitant to do so.

Some of the staff went to the High Court on a different issue, the uni has appealed that order.

idk what’s wrong with them. First they used to reject one directly if they were not in the top 10 and now this. What does truly exceptional mean? For a firm that’s so established, their HR is absolutely dysfunctional? I’ve not met a single person who’s had a good experience w CAM HR. Random policy changes, late responses (if they respond at all), and just a general lack of interest god bless them

There's case law regarding how supreme court and high courts can sentence someone to a form of life imprisonment which is barred from being remitted by the central and state government. However there is no provision under CrPc which allows the SC or HC to do this , they have applied their "inherent" powers to "bring justice" (at least from what I have read) for this. Swamy Shraddananda (2) v. State of Karnataka is the relevant case law regarding this. In the same way can supreme courts or high courts create a sentence of imprisonment which exceeds the maximum sentence for an offence if they're worthy of such a sentence ? And likewise can they strike down mandatory minimum sentences for various offences ? In the case of the latter , the relevant case law is Mitthu v state of state of Punjab where the supreme court struck down mandatory death penalty. Could the supreme courts and high courts likewise strike down mandatory minimum prison sentences as well ? The latest case regarding if the higher judiciary can do this or not that I found was this

But I couldn't find the original petition anywhere regarding this.

There is no argument to respond to here. If you are satisfied with your learning environment at DU then that's fine. Why go after other institutions though? Every institution has its own advantages and disadvantages. Better to know them and find ways to work around them than to pull down each other.

GNLU admin is complicit in the tragic demise of a brilliant third-year student. This ▮▮▮ culture of institutional apathy. ▮▮▮Students had to break down the door, lift his body, and rush him to the hospital on their own. GNLU failed ▮▮▮. GNLU failed all of us. This was a system built on apathy, and it cost a life.

Hello everyone,

Kindly drop-down law firms/office names with openings in the Disputes team with PQE 0-1 year. If anybody knows the email/ contact of the HRs or key-person, do let me know, I'll drop an anonymous email where we can connect further.

Thanks & Regards.

Bro at 25, you’re still quite young.

It’s probably the pressure from your family, and maybe seeing your friends working at jobs that’s giving you FOMO.

Assuming you aren’t the brightest student in class, you can definitely work in a Tier 2/ Tier 3 firm. Corporate work is not that difficult although some colleagues may be difficult to work with.

If you’ve not completely written off corporate law as a career, don’t give up hope. Be strategic with your approach. Don’t apply to 1500 firms randomly. Select boutique firms, small size firms, see when partners/ associates are leaving. DM associates on LinkedIn to figure out if they are vacancies and then apply .

My second last job didn't end on a good note, and I have a sinking feeling my then Partner is the kind to hold a grudge. I've been giving interviews recently where interviewers have asked for partners contact info. Wanted to understand if ITC follows the same process. How do I tackle this issue I'm general? As far as I know firms don't really care, but I'm trying to leave the law firm life behind. Help!

MZM Legal LLP should start paying a stipend to interns, especially given its status as a Tier 1 dispute resolution firm in the country. While the firm undoubtedly provides valuable exposure—at least from what I’ve heard—I’ve also heard about the long working hours, even for unpaid interns. Considering the high cost of living in Mumbai, fourth- and fifth-year students interning there should receive at least a basic stipend. Given MZM’s strong presence in the legal industry, it should ideally offer a stipend of at least ₹5,000–₹10,000 for a month-long internship.

Why Asia, go for Europe of you haven’t already . CIPP/E is most regarded followed by US, Asia, Canada and newly launched China one. Self study is good enough with the material they IAPP provides. You can find several material in Telegram IAPP groups. Just pay the exam fee I.e USD 550
