I always find this kind of request sus. It seems you dont actually want to write in good faith and observe easy to follow plagiarism rules. You instead want to get away with as much plagiarism as you can. If turnitin tells you that your similarity report is at 20% and the university overlooks anything up till 15 you will only move things around and paraphrase to get to 15% instead of actually making sure your project or memo is your own work representing your own ideas. Its hewing to the technicality of rules rather than the spirit of anti plagiarism rules. Which is that youre not learning if youre plagiarising.

FWIW I went to fancy ivy place for my masters- they dont give you turnitin access there. You either know youve done the work honestly and done everything you can to avoid plagiarism or you dont. this is a uniquely indian thing- to give students access to software so they can pre-check whether their submission can squeak by or not.

Company law basics like the different types of issues, allotments, how to perform basic corporate actions. That’s pretty much it. Cap marks is very hands on, not much theory till you get to a senior associate level

Little intro: I am 18 years old and gonna join a college this year. Couldn't crack clat so planning to join a college in Bangalore. All this time i wanted to pursue corporate law with plans of doing cs but recently I had the oppurtunity to interact with a few advocates. I've started to like litigation and now I'm confused how to go about it. For now my goal is to just join a good college but still this is running on my mind.

Your opinions and advice would really be appreciated.

Dr. Arun Mohan, SA, wrote a 2 volume book called Courts, Justice and Delays. These volumes critically analyse all the provisions of CPC and also suggest possible reforms. I came across this gem in my senior's library. These volumes can be a good place to start, for anyone wanting to write about the CPC.

Too much difference between theory and practical. Eg - The whole concept of Preliminary and Final Decree is so so different in practical life. I was surprised as to how to identify them. Unable to find any articles on internet. My senior then gave few pointers, which were absent in bare Acts and books.

You have actually made a valid point. Most people haven't understood your question. You are light. There is not rational purpose why the HCs in the Three Cities have an Original Side and the rest of the State does not. In fact I would call it a violation of Article 14 on some level. Since suits of the same value go before different classes of judges. 1cr in the provinces goes before a District Judge and 1 cr in the HC goes before a HC judge who gets paid more and has more experience. It is something the Bar Associations should challenge.

For contrast, the High Court of England & Wales has an Original Jurisdiction over all of England & Wales and the Judges sit in Circuit Benches and hold court all over the territory. The original side exists and people don't have to even go all the way to London to access it.

This is a constitutional aberration, and it is something that the AAWI of definitely challenge.

Hey guys, a brief background:

I am from a T1.5 college, top 10% of my batch, 4th year, love litigation and have interned only in lawyers' chambers till now. I secured an internship with a T2 firm [not disclosing name and location, but in a T1 city] (how they selected me - they only know) in their disputes practice, which they are known for. So this is my first law firm internship. I took this internship for the reason that I wanted to see how a law firm works and if I am cut out for it.

Coming to the interns part, of the all the interns that are in the firm at the office I am at, only one-third are in corporate, and for one of them it is their first corporate practice area internship. These people in the corporate teams always come and give work to interns no matter which practice area they are in. Today it happened to be my misfortune [no offence to those in that area - I just don't like the work, and don't want to do it] and it is quite a lot. These people know that I am in disputes, and yet they are giving corporate work. How do I deal with the same? On a friday evening these people gave me alot of work to do - that too by the weekend. I have also heard that these corporate people say that the work is urgent but it isn't, since its due perhaps a month or so later.

I am not saying that I wouldn't want to work or anything - just that I don't like the nature of the work they do and are making me do. I would rather go to court, draft petitions, SLPs, WPs, etc.,. prepare list of dates, research on propositions of law, go for arbitrations etc., but cannot do this sort of corporate advisory and regulatory compliance work. Had I been given that work for the weekend, I would not have complained. I have interned for over 12-14 hours a day in weekends in a lawyer's chamber. Thats really not an isssue for me.

Would really love some advice on how to deal with these associates and tell them no. I have already used the 'I already have work from XYZ in disputes' thing. Also, another issue is interns come first to the office, followed by the corporate people, and then the disputes - who come around 11-12ish. So there is a good chance they'll see me empty handed and assign me work saying its urgent.

Help is appreciated. Writing this in frustration at 12am while doing that clerical corporate work

Honestly avoid Samvad. It is a terrible place from what I know. No learning is worth humiliation. When you start off as an A0 even if it means less pay, you want to go with a firm where someone will actually take an interest in your career instead of treating you like a number in a computer. Their high attrition rate will tell you everything you need to know. Here's how you judge where you want to work. Do a search on Linkedin with "Ex Name of Firm" See how long people worked at a place before their left. The firms where more people stayed, are the firms where you want to be. This can also in many cases be a Tier 1 like SAM and CAM. They may have bad reputations but nothing compares to bad reputations that some mid size places can get. Remember, look at the lawyers you want to work with and go and try and work with them. Don't go by big brands and things like that. You're going to join as an A0. You want a place where people will invest you in for the long haul.

If you were to join a competition law team, which ones should you totally steer clear of? Which ones are kinda bearable, like, there’s some toxicity but also a few good things? Which ones are actually great for mentorship, growth, and, you know, not making you regret your life choices?

Can anyone please let me know which firms are currently hiring freshers from the 2025 batch? I understand that it's a bit late in the recruitment season, but I'm looking for opportunities in tier 1, 2, or 3 firms, as well as boutique firms that may still be hiring. I have decent experience in M&A and General Corporate.

Please Kindly help if anyone has any information.

could be. The income tax relief for the middle class was also announced just 3 days before the polls.

But again, i don't think one can ever really pinpoint at one particular factor and accredit as the cause of victory. Voting is highly subject, with each individual prioritising different things from a specturm of ideologies and promises of each party. At the end, it all boils down to persuasive value and building a well-resonated narrative, be it anything.

Honestly, it depends. The college offers a ton of opportunities, such as a strong alumni network, helpful seniors, international moot court competitions, internships, and placements. But to really take advantage of these opportunities—especially internships and placements—you will need good grades. Ideally, you would want to be in the top 20% of your batch. While it's not impossible to get placed if you're outside the top 20%, it definitely makes the process smoother. SLSP has a great alumni network, which I have personally tapped into for internships. At the end of the day, your own efforts are what will truly help you stand out and succeed.

SLS Pune would, in an ideal scenario, cost you an extra 3 lakhs per annum (including your flat/PG, monthly food expenses, going back home if you are not from Pune, etc.) from other top law schools in the country since its fee structure does not include accommodation. If you can afford to take a drop, please go ahead and crack any of the top 3 national law schools. They are positioned in a much better manner in terms of reputation and opportunities.

If you ask me, I would not have changed a thing from the start (including not taking a gap year). However, you do need some luck along the way, and you should not be banking on that but on yourself.

Public Law For Everyone is a blog by Mark Elliott, who is a public law faculty at Cambridge. He got a barrister who was one of his students (I think) to do a guest post on that blog, which might help answer your question to a certain extent (switch around some of the jargon/vocabulary he uses for your own institutional context).

1. You know how in the course description or syllabus for each course you take at law school there is essential reading listed, and then 'supplementary', 'further' or 'recommended' or even 'optional' (the terms vary) reading? Often, people wish they had done more of the further reading. So that might be a useful start, for all you know!

2. Beyond the 'further'/'recommended'/'optional', there is maybe reading that wasn't included on your reading list that was perhaps cited in the footnotes of the essential or further reading. Looking at that, too, is an example of reading more.

3. Going beyond the curriculum your law school imposes: For example, very few universities in the world (Oxford, Cambridge, I think Edinborough) make their students learn Roman Law. Consider doing something like that if you truely want to 'read more'?

4. Even if you want none of the above, putting in more effort to more thoroughly take in the essential reading or what further reading you do for 'tactical' purposes (exam success) might be an idea.

Am sure there are other suggestions I haven't listed, others please add to the thread!

F the LI trolls. If you are at a top 20 UK university then the quality of teaching, research, infrastructure and student experience will be much better than any Indian one.

Now coming to your query, my advice would be to consider an internship with:

1. Indian lawyers attached to UK barrister chambers

2.The UK India Business Council and then use their network to intern with A-list organisations in India.
