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.

impress professors so they could get LORs. They were ambitious and motivated and keen to grasp at the opportunity to attend a good university. Now students sit back in class look at their phones, don’t read and it seems are only there to judge you should you commit a wrong think or a faux pas. They behave like judges before they’ve learnt a line of law. And they might never learn it given how ubiquitous gptfraud is. The breakdown of the teacher student relationship turns teaching into a chore. And if I had to do a chore of a job why on earth would I or anyone else do it for so little pay as teaching affords ?
If it’s IP then Saikrishna Delhi office is the best, Bangalore office is kinda meh and dead.
In Tax LKS is the best irrespective of the office. But I would suggest Delhi or Mumbai.
Don’t have any idea on the kind of work assigned to law interns in Big4 so can’t comment
If you don’t know the difference between supporting Hamas and supporting Palestine you have no business going to graduate school.

But the bigger question is what this means for Indian law students in the US. Quite a few Indian humanities and also law students have participated in such protests and posted online in favour of Palestine. What happens to them?
Also, what about NLU, Jindal etc students who posted in favour of Palestine on social media and are now applying for US visas?

I think if you are the right fit for them, they will surely reply. Then again, you should follow up with another mail or call their office.
Also, another con. People are a lot less diverse. You will find people who have migrated from other parts of India. In general the localities aren't a treat to talk or be with.
1) Good exposure to litigation work, and increasingly, even corporate, real estate, and energy law.
2) Very friendly and helpful people, with a large heart. By and large honest and straight forward people who do not beat around the bush when something needs to be said.
3) Low cost of living when compared to Bangalore and Bombay.
4) Hindi being the only language really spoken around (except for a bit of Punjabi and Haryanvi), so language is not an issue, as long as one can speak Hindi.
Cons:
1) Very bad weather for 9 out of 12 months (it seems like the summer never ends, and the air conditioner needs to be turned on all day during summers, and not just at nights). Surprisingly very humid weather in the last two years at least, during summers, humidity almost as bad as Bombay.
2) High levels of pollution.
3) Unsafe at night, at least in certain areas. Been told that East Delhi in particular gets super unsafe during the night. Have also been advised not to venture out even in South Delhi though after 10-11 at night.

Reverse all of this for Mumbai and then decide
It's sad you have reduced it to his name. It's about choice! His father exercised his choice. Wasn't forced on by Russian.
If you want Hindi to be loved and appreciated then stop IMPOSITION!
Let's be proud about rich and diverse culture, let's not be monolith.
You aren't dumb enough to believe that Hindi is being popularised by BJP for the good of the nation. We all know why they want to shove it down people's throat.
Most BJP members and supporters can't seem to wrap their head around "imposition" and "respect for other cultures". A closer study of these two terms/phrases can guide you to the real problem lest you will talk about a Russian name.
Personally, I rarely see them in Del HC/SC. In all fairness, they've started out very recently. But by the same logic, it may be too early to call them a Tier 2 firm.
I am currently an A2 in the PE team of a T-1 and have recently been interviewed for a position at Touchstone Partners, Mumbai. Could you please throw some light on the salary at Touchstone, and how the growth looks like. I understand from a Bar and Bench article that they pay the highest at the fresher level (around 22lpa), however, there is no info about the comp at senior levels. Is it similar to T-1s or higher (just as the fresher level salary)?
Would really be grateful if I could get some info at the earliest as I might have my salary negotiation coming Monday.
Thanks
This Delhi system of giving salaries to juniors is absolutely bad. Made a mess of juniors. The learning curve is just 0 and nothing compared to what you'd be learning in Bombay or Calcutta where the pupilage system is followed and beggars don't come asking for salaries.

After all, law happens in courts and not in colleges.
If you are not getting selected there, you should go to Delhi University or GLC Mumbai.
These DSK videos disturb us because it's right on the nose but if there's a problem with non-compliance with BCI rules, then all material including these celebratory LinkedIn posts and instagram reels of practicing lawyers "educating" people equally qualify as ads/solicitation for work and should also be banned with a sweet SCN to each. I say so because you are not required to educate people, if someone does not hear you speak/read those very words you have to put, it's not like the sun won't rise again. It's basically unnecessary, conceited because the purpose to get your name out there and you tooting your own horn.
I am interested to see how it pans out for the DSK folks, I like some mirch-masala as the next guy but the issue has to be dealt with properly and holistically because the abuse, in my humble opinion, is rampant across the bar.
"I cannot wait for other law firms to hire actors and make commercials, we so need this"
On a side note, I posted about this when the second ad dropped and mods initially published it but then unpublished it, so I'm glad there is some discourse on this apart from on LinkedIn
JRF/NET is an option, but not mandatory. Candidates without these can be taken with the Institute Scholarship. The scholarship or fellowship amounts are the same in both cases (i.e. those with institute scholarship and those with JRF/NET fellowship).
