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.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
5 years(minimum) of integrated LLB degree after 10+2 examination OR 3 years LLB degree after 10+2+3 examination
They are already accepting those with LLBs directly, why argue about 1-year or 2-year LLMs? It is irrelevant. Apply with your LLB transcript. Even JRF/NET is not mandatory.
This takes the total reservation to 70% in the state. Add the domicile quota for state universities as well - only ~15% of seats are available for general AIQ in NALSAR. Love this.
Does anyone know about KCO’s hiring patterns? Would an internship in September or December be too late to be useful? Also, does their disputes team hire this late?
very scared please help
I’m considering pursuing a master’s—LLM, MBA, or MA—and would appreciate insights on which might be a better option.
Specifically,
1. Do LLMs from the top 3 nlus (NLS, NALSAR, NUJS) significantly improve job prospects at law firms? I’ve rarely seen LLM students intern, so I’m unsure about their hiring trajectory.
2. Does an LLM from India primarily lead to academia, or are there meaningful firm opportunities?
point being, is doing an llm and giving clat ph worth it from a firm job perspective? Would love to hear your thoughts
Bottom line, I will suggest please continue to look for all the information that you can get before deciding
I joined teaching two years back at an nlu and my mental health has taken a backseat. As a female, more admin work is dumped on me. Students dont care if I ve taught well. I have attended fdps to hone skills . I have excellent degrees..I write blogs, opinion pieces and i also get invited to teach in different forums. But I am disheartened to feel aloof as students only give respect to very strict or very cool teachers. I have decided to quit academia. It fulfils at no level.
(2) No, the world doesn't deserve anything of the sort, especially if said teachers would be embarrassed at having their names revealed on a public forum to which they don't have access or which they don't visit/know of. This is because they have no chance to see what is said about them, or respond in any way. What those fabulous teachers specifically in my case, and extraordinary teachers generally, deserve is to have tributes paid to them non-anonymously (as I have done, by means of email correspondence in my case) and anonymously (as I and several others have done on here). I hope you are not so jaded as to believe that students don't respect teachers' wishes and feelings anymore; if you are, please modify this attitude of mind. This is why I don't understand the level of disbelief communicated. The cynicism demonstrated here is disappointing and disheartening. It's not your fault, working conditions in academia the world over are problematic, but you have allowed the problems to get to you - and that's something you may have to consider working on.
PS: As a sign of consistency and good faith, to show that I wasn't just bullshitting about the life-changing teachers. John Tasioulas, the Professor of Ethics and Legal Philosophy in Oxford, recently tweeted about how in the academia contexts he is familiar with, research is valued far too much at the expense of teaching. As an attempt to cure this wrong thought-process, he asked his followers (which includes me) to tell him about inspiring undergraduate teachers they had had in law and/or philosophy; he kicked off the conversation by listing a couple of Australian academics, including some big names in Australian legal academia. Though I follow Tasioulas on Twitter and engage with his content whenever I can, and though I loved his thought and his prompt to talk about undergraduate teachers, I didn't respond to his prompt, not because I am scared of things being revealed about me (my life-story is emblazened like a banner on my Twitter profile), but because the specific individuals who came to mind upon seeing his prompt (the very same ones who came to mind when seeing this thread) no longer use Twitter, and therefore would have no opportunity to respond; as far as Legally India goes, I doubt they have heard of it (or would want to remember it, if they had).
Hope you are doing well. As most of you all would either be seniors in college or graduates from it, I wanted to ask a question I fear has grappled me and been a source of stress and downfall for me in past. I have seen rumours being spread about people and friend groups being broken and formed in the blink of an eye in law schools. I come from a small town in North india with no one in family or friends circle in law, I alone took this decision of doing law and cleared clat and ailet both.
I have a very people pleasing personality and I have been used or betrayed in past many times from friends which has lead me to form abandonment and fomo issues. These traits I fear would make my life much harder in law school as there would be people from all walks and opinions of life and i would just be left trying to mingle with everyone while not having a voice of own and a nobody, or, if I try to socialise too much with everyone I would be seen as annoying, or getting ignored if I try to say my points or while making friends. See, my fears might sound irrelevant but please give tips on how to not care about these things and just focus on academics and protecting my mental health in college. It would be a lot of help.
Thank you :)
The reason it is popular is because it is not a very technical game, like tennis, and the basics are easy to learn. Also games are quite short.

Similarly, G P Madaan in Delhi.
This is rising and latest trend.
Don’t know about north.
Law firm m&a is playing supporting bottom feeder role to actual market makers
Let them research judgements and read commentary on damages vs indemnity. Lol.
Delhi was always touchstone domain. Quillon means Mumbai.
Are in-house at funds a bad idea - is it same as the law firm, or slightly better.
Guessing companies don't really have dedicated paying M&A teams or need one, when anyway we do all the work.
Is the firm gen corp experience too niche, for in-house legal team work, where I'll look like a doofus for the kind of work that comes in the way of in-house counsels who get paid at my level.
Am I stuck, or is it not too early to bounce?
Suddenly the videos have disappeared.
