My research and intuition indicate that TMT is going to boom considering the recently released regulations and the potential for ever increasing data privacy concerns in various fields of data mapping. Moreover, it is also evident to me that new technology regulations, say, for bitcoin, AI will always fall within its ambit. Again, I am also confident that M&A is an evergreen practice area which has a scope that's also vast.
My long-term plans are to shift to in-house post 6-7 years under my belt. Alternatively, I wish to join a foreign law firm. Kindly advice!
2. Take pride in your work. Critical. You are as good as you last work product.
3. Use a task checklist to execute things. Be organized. Ad-hocism over time is chaos.
4. Highlight all elements that needs to be changed from a standard draft first. Then start.
5. Make the first set of changes using the redline feature. Control F the previous items, dates.
Additional tips.
1. Install grammarly. Speak with IT for admin settings.
2. A good way to see if a document is verbose - read from the end.
3. Carry a notebook for everything - to take instructions.
Off late I have been hearing Case Mine is very good and in fact better than SCC and Manu. Any experienced lawyers tried it? Whats your view?
For BNS/IPC and others, most new criminal manuals have a comparative table. Make use of it.
Last year, there were some placements. This year as of now, the situation looks dim. Hope everything goes well by the end.
Prefer to finish everything at office
Leave office around 5. Continue till 10/10:30 on most days.
I am at a chamber where there is nobody else besides me. No other juniors. Yep, that's great. No peons, no stenos, no one to run around, either. Okay, fine. The individual engages independent filing clerks.
What I do at these Chambers?
Draft end to end; including any supporting applications. Great.
Take dictation if any, and type it out. Fine.
Get matters adjourned.
Seek circulation ONLY when praecipe is to be dropped. The Hon'ble Court mandates actual mentioning? I am NOT to be seen anywhere in the Court well. In all seriousness.
Run around, not enjoyable- but hey, part of the game.
Get objections removed. Again, a headache, but has to be done.
And seek adjournments.
And sit OUT of client meetings. Why? Because "clients", whose matters I'd be drafting eventually, desire "privacy" and "confidentiality". News flash: they don't care.
Did I mention I take adjournments? Even in matters I have drafted, because cLiEnT iS nOt oKaY wItH iT. Again, the clients legit don't care.
I am not to file my VP. Not even joint. Chuck, I am not even to be in the court-well when the matter is going to be worked out. Even when I have contributed to preparation of the brief. Naturally, joint appearances in orders are out of question.
I am NOT to touch the briefs once the matter is filed. EVER.
I get matters adjourned. So much so, that now I have earned a 'face value'. The Courts no longer have to wait to pass adjournment orders. Such is my aura, that once I'm seen anywhere close to the Court-well, the Hon’ble Judge(s) concerned, pass a stand over order without even waiting for me to utter a word.
Yay! I developed a niche so early! Woo-hoo!
I this business - sorry- 'profession' is utter bollocks.
I'm sucking it up right now , till I am able to crack an MBA entrance, and get into a good college.
Thought of leaving this for all those who feel struck: there is a way out. You have a choice.
Do you think they won't try to verify? Do you seriously think they don't ask for recommendation letters? What is wrong with you? If you spread lies, can you at least please spread logical ones?
Or is it restricted to students only ?

Secondly, NFSU is already very well known so does not need PR on this platform, irrespective of whether this platform accepts it or not. NFSU does not need LI for awareness and visibility, and downvotes here do not matter at all.

NFSU is in very good company, counted as prestigious among the very best (AIIMS and IIM). States are scrambling to bring NFSU to their respective states with various incentives. This is in addition to the central funding the university receives.
