You do realise that if you allow arbitrary searches in the name of drugs today, it leads to more and more arbitrary and draconian searches in any other name in the future. Right to privacy is fundamental to our constitution. Today the searches are to prevent drug usage and limited to pocket checks, tomorrow it will be for something else and will even extend to student rooms being searched. It sets a precedent and allows admin to slowly move towards more and more draconian measures to curtail student movement and autonomy.

Or they could just not do drugs. You can’t have it both ways. You get privacy if you behave like adults. Do your drugs, don’t do crimes, and if you OD there shouldn’t be crying and protesting against the university. Clearly students can’t handle that - so you don’t get privacy, you get bag searches.

I don’t even think bag searches work, but if you’re gonna hold admin accountable when bad things happen because of drugs you consume , then you have to give admin a shot at preventing those things.

Why is AISA always on the wrong side of every issue ? It’s all culture war lately and nothing to do with poor people.

The intent behind your post is correct but several factual errors. I work in a large Tax Lit firm in Bombay. We brief several seniors everyday. It’s a small cohort though - maybe 5-6 on each the direct and indirect side - so you are correct that it is concentrated in very top end. However, each of these busy senior does multiple matters a day, even a new senior we briefs charge

Its because senior advocates are briefed by law firms. Do you think its easy to just go to court and argue a case? Dispute teams in Law firms spend days on a case to brief the senior advocate.

Its just pure nepotism and connections that help Senior Advocates make that kind of money. A chamber of a senior Advocate would not be able to handle so many big cases otherwise.

Im going to law school starting this july. Not an NLU, like i had hoped for- but rather Symbiosis Nagpur or Hyderabad.

Brace yourselves, this is going to be a bit

being from an NLU gives you an edge in the competition, for sure. But ppl i’ve spoken to (including coaching centre faculty) tell me that it’s going to be extremely tough if you want to to get an internship opportunity or if you want a job after you’re done with schooling.

Im going to give my 100% ofc, including participating in extra curricular activities. But there’s still this fear in me that spending all the money is not going to end up being worth. we’re not very financially well off either.

Because as an aunty who’s daughter studies in an NLU told me “The top recruiters aren’t even going to look your way”, “You’ve got to beg for jobs” and “Getting a Tier 1 would be like a dream”

maybe she exaggerated that a bit but i still cant help but wonder, is being from a Non-NLU really that unsafe? even if i do give my all, will i be cooked lol?

and please do tell me if i should go for SLSH or SLSN since those are the best options i have in my hands rn. I was aiming for pune but fell extremely sick on the day of SLAT and here i am. drop is not an option either.

how can i compensate for not having the advantages that come with being an NLU student? Will that really be a huge problem?

Not to answer your question, but the process is really not very complicated. Just get an affidavit from a notary (they have a standard format) and publish it in a newspaper. Then use that to change your official IDs.

It is unlikely that your law school will issue certificate in any name other than your legal names, which may cause problem after graduation since most employers will ask to see your graduation certificates and transcript. So the best recourse is to change your name legally, but avoid telling your family and use the old name around them.

I say take it in your stride and keep applying to other places. Maybe just drop a message to the partner saying you liked working with them and would want to work in the future as well if there's an opportunity, requesting them to consider you in case something arises. Trust me, if it's meant to be the partner will reach out to you later. Meanwhile you can channel your energy more productively.

I was recently rejected by CAM for reasons that weren’t disclosed by their HR team. I gave it my best effort, received exceptional feedback from my partner, and felt I performed well during the interview rounds.

However, HR later informed me that I didn’t clear the interview. Now, I’m confused and uncertain about what to do next because I thought I had everything to secure this opportunity.

I’ve never seen anyone put their school grades on a CV. You put your gpa for undergrad, you put your internships, writing you’ve done, you put extra curriculars and you put references. If you don’t have any of those things - yeah you might have to put your school grades cause you haven’t achieved anything since school apparently. I’ve been around law schools for 15years now , I’ve seen hundreds of CVs. I have never seen a law graduates cv who is seeking jobs or graduate degrees have schooling information. Maybe when you’re a first year and you just started law school - but that goes away after first year.

I’m not being nasty for no reason. You’re discouraging someone from being ambitious for absolutely no reason. School grades are not a factor in any decision making for graduate schools or for hiring by law firms. They just aren’t.

They put A levels on that form because that form is usually used by folks coming out of the English education system. They would have no idea how to contextualise your grades. Think of all the state boards , icse, cbse, not to mention different standards between schools for a GPA. You can fill that information if you like ( not all firms even ask for it) but no one is making decisions based off of that.

The only place I’ve seen people ask for school grades is some stupid government jobs , and even there they aren’t using it evaluate- they’re using your school certs to identify you. And it’s only because it’s government jobs- they used to once be handed out to people with just high school certificates.

1. What would you include on a CV in the "education" section of before undergraduate degree? So what, you'd just show as if you went to an undergrad out of the blue? Of course they don't give spaces on the application forms for that because it doesn't matter all that much! But what do you think would happen if you actually tried to paper it over in your CV? Enlighten us about the conventions of CVs, oh omniscient one!

2. Of course they conduct their own tests, that everyone knows. Have you ever filled out foreign law firm (at least UK ones) applications in the past? Because if you had, you may have noticed they ask for "A Level" grades? Do you know what that even means? Stop being so nasty and randomly attacking people.

It is difficult for some people (example blind and partially sighted) to access Insta content because of the visual nature of the platform/stuff posted there. Someone had once posted the copy-paste of the substance of an NLUO email on this platform as typed text (like this comment). Is it possible to do that in this case as well please? Thanks!

It has begun, finally. Good luck to everyone in nluo. https://www.barandbench.com/news/lawschools/nlu-odisha-students-launch-protest-over-academic-policies-lack-of-infrastructure
