tbh, there have been people who have been given makeup exams after momentarily taking a break. Write to VC, Regi and acad chair about your circumstances and hopefully, get a meeting to explain it to them. They would be able to give u makeup exams or repeat the year as you like and you can still carry on.

Further, you can also reach out to the Mental Health Policy Group and see if they can advocate regarding your circumstances with the important authorities, considering sometimes admin is not as supported as students are. They might be able to negotiate on your behest.

Additionally, in light of student suic*des everywhere, NALSAR has collaborated with MindPeers which is a good mental health support group as I hear and I think would be able to help you by giving important mental support via therapy, outside of the college therapists.

Lastly, since you are in NALSAR, you would have worked very hard to reach where you are, and I think its important to take a step back to gain yourself, but also not let everything you have worked for so far. If you need anything, I am also one of your seniors and you can reach out to us at anytime and we would help you. Your mentors, academic mentors, tutors and everyone else are all here to help you.

My girlfriend works in police and we've dated since school, I'm an A3 at a T1 rn and currently my work hours don't allow me to sustain our relationship as I see things. What's something lawyers previous to me have done? An in house shift seems definite but is there some other option?

Let me help you. If it’s SM’s or AM’s or KN’s or NG’s or DP’s team, please do join. These are the best teams to work with. But, if it’s AS or TD or UJ’s (acronymically ATU), then, do your thorough diligence (for instance, read up the existing threads about ATU and these partners on LI, talk to ppl who have been part of ATU) and advent at your own risk.

Go on. This particular dick measuring contest is just as unhelpful, as unproductive and as harmful to community understanding as all dick measuring contests, but it is certainly more entertaining than most. So yes, go on and try your game of one-upmanship to apply a cream on your insecurity that your profession is less worthy than that of engineers. Do all this when everyone knows that both professions require people of high intellectual strength, and that each is as good (or as bad) at rewarding its workers for their efforts as the other.

Seeming logical gap here! Don't you think? How can you have associates being overworked, while still, at the same time, having "disproportionate team size"? Aren't the two sort of mutually exclusive?

I promise I'm not trying to be smart. Just need better education on law firm dynamics. So if there is a way that both these can be true, please explain it to me (as if I were five years old).

I heard bharat calls the shots and does all the hiring and hes like super picky! saw the linkedin of the 2024 joinees and both were like toppers n had awards n stuff, idk man my batch rank aint great so i dont think I stand a chance tbh. but reading this ngl feels like its better to not even join

College societies are generally not seen as a mandatory exercise from a job or a career pov, infact you can save that time and invest on health, friends, hobbies, relationships or productive stuff like grades and publications. The entire notion of importance of societies stems from tier 1 law schools perspective where the seniors run them independently, two where socialisation with seniors bears fruits for you professionaly. In the private college where I studied college societies were hotspots of incompetent people trying to get some association, or even worse a podium for guys and girls to get laid in disguise of doing society work. None of which imo i would suggest you. Unless there is a society whose ideas you see as ideas worth living or something extraordinary, then you may pass on the idea of joining college socs. You may actually join Placecom of college if it's allowed this early because only Place Coms have details and work related to jobs/ career.

Peritum Partners is heavily sought after.

Pay beats a few firms, may be behind tier 1s but the culture is unparalleled. Work-life-balance actually exists and interns and associates get incredible support from the partners.

Personally know several people that have applied to work at the firm because of Karthik's kindness and mentorship. I have interacted a lot with him even though I did not work with the firm but he has supported my career in ways that no partner/mentor I have worked with has. Anyone that works at the firm probably has it way better from growth and support.

Tier 1s have the same story across, no work-life-balance but high pay. They own your soul but have your back and you will grow with glass ceiling

I was just going through this Bill and holy shit is it poorly drafted. Look at s.295A which is sought to be added into the IPC by section 19 of this Bill. The second proviso to this proposed s.295A uses the following words "....which shall be assessed by the factors as specified in sub-section (2) of section 5 of this Act." This proviso is referring to s.5(2) of the Bill and not the IPC. No one proof read this. At least the proviso sought to be added to s.505(3) of the IPC by s.21 of the Bill does not contain this same error. That proviso specifies that s.5(2) of this Bill is being referred to.

There was a private member bill in 2022 which dealt with this matter

(https://sansad.in/getFile/BillsTexts/RSBillTexts/Asintroduced/Hate%20speech-%20KR-%20E%201219202350136PM.pdf?source=legislation) in case anyone is interested in the full text

One of the key features of this bill is that it seems to have a wide variety of beneficiaries. Here's an excerpt from the bill

(3. A person who intentionally and within the hearing or sight of another person or

group of persons uses, publishes, presents, produces, plays, provides, distributes or

directs the performance of any speech that:—

(i) incites, justifies, promotes or spreads discrimination, hatred, hostility, or

violence against a person or group of persons; or

(ii) denigrates a person or group of persons by reasons of their real or

attributed characteristics or status, which includes religion, race, caste or

community, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, place of birth, national or

ethnic origin, language, age, or disability shall be guilty of an offence of hate

speech.)

This is the definition of the offence of hate speech in this bill , is it likely to pass the constitutionality test ? , is it good legislation ? And finally how likely is this to even pass ? Private member bills usually get sidestepped , this bill hasn't lapsed yet and has been pending for a while now. I've always found it frustrating how private member bills are essentially useless and irrelevant even though they cover many issues that government doesn't draft bills on (there's bills on universal Healthcare and dealing with extreme poverty that were drafted by private members)

Hi family. I am currently working with a litigation office and want to switch to a T1 firm as an A0. Can anyone please suggest, what subjects and core areas should I focus on for a practise in Disputes Resolution.

Also, pls suggest what would the work will be all about?

Pls help, if possible. Thanks in advance......

If a lawyer with substantial experience transitions from chamber practice to a law firm but is currently being paid below market standards, what strategies can they adopt to enhance their pay scale when moving to another law firm? How should they negotiate their salary during the transition, and what key considerations should be kept in mind to ensure fair compensation aligned with their experience and skill set?

I am much older than the Gen Z readers here. From my experience, I can confirm that the stereotype is true: rich guys have it easy. Be it in terms of career opportunities, educational opportunities, dating and marrying desirable women, and just general quality of life. The advantage they start with in life is just too large to bridge for those from regular backgrounds. At best, what regular guys can hope for is to earn a lot of money so that their children can have the benefits they could not. You can live your dreams vicariously through your children!

Hi, are you a working professional? Also please tell me are the timings strict for the course because as a working professional sometimes it is hard to attend the lectures regularly or at the specific timing given by the course operator. Share your experience about the course as well.

NMIMS 5 th year student, it's absolutely trash, no flexibility for interning, no attendance relaxation, you'll have a billion submissions for no reason, do not ever go to NMIMS, I was is SLS Pune but switched to NMIMS since course fee was 10l and I didn't have to pay rent, worst mistake of my life

Agree with this dude?

1. It's a "training contract", not "trainee contract". Get the detail right, please.

2. Training contract offers do not come via contacts. They only come via assessment of candidate's performance at the vacation scheme.

3. I am familiar with these processes myself, having been through them. Any contacts you have can only help you to a limited extent. At most, if you know a lawyer at a foreign firm and have discussed the work they do in a practice area, it might be worth mentioning that in your application. No more. If they don't like your interview, assessment centre or (where applicable) SJT performance, no amount of glowing reviews from contacts can get you over the line. Whoever may have told you otherwise is bullshitting.

A caveat to this last point: Getting a contact you may have at a firm to look over your application or mock interview you and provide you with feedback is an obvious advantage.

Negative returns on MFs and stocks.

GST on everything.

High income tax.

Rising educate costs for children.

This is the story for all white collar professionals in India. It seems only the super rich and super corrupt have it easy. So do we then have to keep on working till 60/70, to fund MP salaries, subsidies and loss-making PSUs?
