This is 100 percent true. I used to feel depressed and get a lot of mood swings. Literally ever day. Social media really triggers this. The algorithm is such that you inevitably come across content that makes you sad or angry. Even if you start watching something very simple, like a cricket video or music video, spend an hour or two and you will eventually be scrolling through negative content.

Now, I severely limited my use. Instead, I read two novels over the course of a month. Honestly, I just felt so much better and positive. Never once had negative emotions. Then I paused and returned to heavy smartphone use. Back to square one. Then back to reading books. Cured again. Also doing exercise helps.

You don’t need to visit a counsellor. Just stop smartphone addiction and you will stop feeling depressed.

I've decided to pursue law and I'm confused about which collge to choose. I'm a first generation and any lawyer I talk to has very different opnions. Some say Jindal is the better than tier 2 nlu like NUALS as the exposure is like nothing else and teachers are very good. But a lot are saying the drug culture is really bad and placement rates are very bad. But there is no clarity online as everyone just talks about the money.

Please help me out about how the placements are if you're willing to work hard and sit for placements.

Also does the nlu tag matter and especially so in corporate

Haters, stay hating. It’s a small sweet team with all women out there. Always seem to be on their toes. Not sure about bonuses. From what I can tell, they do a variety of work like private client succession planning, arbitration disputes, PILs, environmental law and advisory. Safe bet if you’re looking to apply / join

After law school I worked at an advocate's chamber for 2 years dealing with litigation and real estate matters and thereafter I pursued LLM from an Indian University specializing in corporate law and started working at a tier 3 law firm. Do I get any benefit in promotions as I have a master's degree in hand?

Brand value is decent, but not as good as a tier 1 MBA. MBB pays people more than law firms; they start higher, and increments are steeper. Additionally, exits also pay better. There are more exit opportunities for MBA grads. Goldman-esque IBs, not to forget PE and VC firms, pay even higher. So yes, earning post-MBA is higher than post law. But the MBA space is a lot more competitive. Law firms pay is good enough that for most lawyers it will not make sense to do MBA to improve pay.

Your list is perfect. I will add few more. Also I will prefer NALSAR over NLUD and NUJS over JGLS.

NLSIU

NALSAR

NLUD

NUJS

JGLS

GNLU

NLUJ

NLIU

HNLU

RMLNLU

NLUO/ RGNUL / NUALS / CNLU / SLS Pune

These are undisputed Top 15 Law Schools.

it's not a great place to work anymore, quite unprofessional and there's a reason everyone from fresher to partner level left within 1 year. there are no systems in place, and a lot of personal bias and favouritism at play. some people were given very elaborate gifts (off the record).

He was the one who has given the current VC his extension. He has not even insisted on forming a search committee even now with the extension ending in another four months. So to believe that he will all of a sudden change his stance is to be foolish. All the deals have been done in the background. NKC will stay back for another year at least if not more.

This is exactly what seperates successful or even bare competent lawyers from the runt of the litter. It's far too late for you since you wasted a lot of time that you could be using to learn basic skills and intern. Law is not for people like you, prepare for some exam frankly.

No hate, just looking out for you.

I align with the boutique law firm concept because the Indian law firm market is changing and they all of them are not really Lala. Especially the one spoken about her, Triumvir law. Young leadership, quality work - seems to be a good environment to grow. I know someone from a tier 1 law school, who gave up an t1 offer to join Triumvir.

1. Again, do you really think the State of Israel (which, remember, is at war!!) has time for this crap? These people think that our country is so important - that people will randomly respond to media reports from sites nobody has ever heard of!

2. You know what? Even if it is fiction, there is an advantage for the Israelis to keep quiet about it and not say anything. Puts fear in the hearts of the Arabs, whose holding of the Mossad in mythical status as this agency which can do whatever it likes, will only get worse!

This is just some amusing sideshow for them, which they probably don't have time or headspace for, in any case.

Nate Anderson responds: denies receiving legal notice from Adani ("as far as I can tell"); denies meeting RaGa ("that I'm aware of"); denies he shut down Hindenberg for fear of arrest ("bizarre conspiracy theories")

Condensed tweet:

A couple of days ago, Ammar Zaidi of the Press Trust of India (PTI) published a story claiming that Adani worked with dozens of Mossad agents to ‘expose’ us. The article reads like lousy spy fiction and looks to be fabricated out of thin air. The reporter didn’t bother to reach out to us for comment, one of the most basic functions of any credible journalist. Had he, we would have easily explained that none of the claimed events happened ....

For example, the article claims Adani’s spies uncovered that we worked with “a complex web of activist lawyers, journalists, hedge funds, and political figures”. We didn’t, and the article doesn’t name a single one. ...

The article also claims that Adani’s legal firm, Quinn Emanuel, sent a 7-page legal brief to my office, speculating that this threat is why I retired shortly thereafter. This never happened. As far as I can tell, the supposed 7-page letter is just a total fabrication.

Bro I know multiple senior lawyers working in Delhi at SC and DHC who make 1 cr on a good day.

Get out from the corporate world and come see how people throw money when humungous claims are at stake.

A not so known lawyer with decent Electricity Disputes practice easily earns more than majority of T1 EPs.

They are. But depends on how firms have structured the team. Where big firms have predominant banking and NBFC clients, Fintech will sit with B&F teams. At other places, where the firm's (or a team's) reputation is to do cutting edge work, fintechs typically are served by TMT teams, as in many cases fintechs help in the tech layer without directly being subject to RBI/SEBI/IRDAI regs.

Hi! I'm going to be interning at the firm soon and had a few questions.

Does the firm offer PPOs? What does an A0 offer typically look like in terms of compensation?

I was also curious about the kind of court exposure juniors get

do they regularly appear in court, or is it mostly briefing senior counsel? Are interns/juniors usually involved in such briefings?

I'm particularly interested in the White Collar Crime Defense& Investigations and Dispute Resolution teams, would love to know more about how they work.

Also, how would you describe the culture at the firm? And what’s the growth trajectory like in terms of learning, mentorship, and financial progression?

Thanks so much in advance!

SAM has rolled out world leading legal AI platform Harvey across all its offices. Harvey can do complex DD tasks in few minutes. Other major law firms are also testing various AI platforms. Need for junior level associates to do grunt work will rapidly diminish. Are we going to see large scale hiring freezes and layoffs?

Hello. You have to keep in mind no firm expects you to join as a partner straight out of law school, your actual training in the field you want to pursue only begins once you start working. Therefore don't be too intimidated by your peers who seem to be more knowledgeable or informed, because while yes it is commendable, it doesn't impact your hiring chances that much. What matters the most is your performance and attitude during the internship. Consistently put in the best quality work you can - this is not about skill in most corp teams, it is just sweat and effort. Show your team that you can learn from them and work well with them. The rest is a bit of luck yes, but you can alleviate luck by just doing your best. Don't get too intimidated by all these things, best of luck!

BCI trust sponsored NLS. It gave seed money to start NLS. Prof NR Madhava Menon was appointed the Director on the advice of the BCI. Earlier, Prof Upendra Baxi was declared the Director Designate. After some time, Prof Baxi declined and the post went to Prof Menon. Prof Menon did his best to make NLS the best in India.
