First off, academic institutions are run by funds, grants, money.. period ! The money you have, the better faculty you can afford. There's a reason why we don't have foreign faculties, since we can't afford them, simple as that. So, we either have to be like Jindal, that charges your kidneys, and afford decent foreign professors or we be like Central universities and get funding from the govt. But, the govt is so incompetent that they don't wish to invest more than 3-4% of GDP, so even the funds available to central universities is less as compared to what other countries give to their faculty. Moreover the mismanagement of funds in central universities is well known, so that's another story.
Second, despite a limited budget and problematic administration, NLUs are still better off then these Central universities especially in law. So if they do get a better budget, especially on the level of what a central university gets, they can definitely attract atleast 2-3 foreign faculty.
So ultimately yes, if someone that has a better connections, management and understanding of how to run an company is given ambani kind of money and opportunities, they will definitely be equal too if not better than ambani, and his name is Adani.
For expensive - Bombay Shirt Company
Both are good value.
Cheap tailored shirts are the best. Go to your local tailor (no big brand). Pick a white cotton fabric that is affordable and have them make shirts for you.
For slightly pricer options go with Raymond etc.
French Crown is also good as they do it online and their stitching is very good.
White shirts are about maintenance. Remember to use Cuffs and Collar Fluid while you wash them and if the shirts are cheap, consider a bleaching cycle every 2 months.
I have read a few threads where it is suggested to start from the Acts along with the rules and regs. But is there another way to go about this?
The problem is that my parents can afford to cover about half the cost (30-35L), but for the remaining amount, they’re considering taking out an education loan, which I’ll pay afterwards
However, someone mentioned to me that banks typically don’t approve education loans for students admitted under the NRI-sponsored quota. Has anyone here gotten into an NLU under this quota and successfully managed to get a loan?
If you have gotten your internship through your RCC, I am guessing you are from a tier 1 NLU. That helps. I would say try to be as reliable as possible. Do quality work, finish them on time, show initiative, try to get as involved as possible in particular matters. In disputes you will often be given research propositions for which you will find no case law. That is okay. Go and speak to your team about why they are searching for that proposition and see if you can suggest alternate arguments. In short, try to be as much a part of their team as possible.
Incompetency often sits in one place because they fear being tested beyond loyalty.
I am just 35 right now but have a crazy memory issue affecting my practice.
How does one get to know the in and out of litigation on their own? Since I have a little over 32 but managed to get somewhere, how do I learn things more quickly and become a better lawyer.
I want advice from enthusiastic and experienced individuals, as to how to become better in this field.
They’ve honed skills like quick thinking, adaptability, and efficiency—skills that are essential for their grind. And yeah, sometimes they go head-to-head with Tier 1 law firm types in high-stakes corporate battles or pop up on LinkedIn.
My take? They’re playing a completely different game and crushing it in their own lane. Judging them for their punctuation or writing style is missing the point—and honestly, holding onto that mindset could come back to haunt you.
Else, might consider going to Chambers of Adv. Abhishek Dwivedi. Practices as an arbitration counsel primarily. Gives really good research work, and gives you constructive feedback on your research drafts.
If he sees potential, he might even give drafting work.
Work is 99% in the Delhi HC.
The chamber does cutting edge in the fields of IPR, Arbitration, Commercial Litigation and some constitutional law.
There is no requirement of consistently being in the office but if a brief comes then you’re required to show up at an hour’s notice.
The man does not raise his voice at colleagues but has an icy way of letting them know when they have goofed up.
Wadia Ghandy maybe one of the bigger names in Bombay but haven't heard much about it in Bangalore which makes me wonder if i should consider applying?
Any advice on the work, intern environment would be welcome.
Thank you!
2. BBA membership fees are higher than AAWI, as a result, so are the facilities, including the Bar Rooms.
3. BBA, IMHO, is more proactive, so far as training programmes for junior members are considered. Nonetheless, AAWI culture being a bit more relaxed in comparison, you may find yourself being equally enriched by obtaining necessary know-hows through direct conversations with senior (designated or not) members of AAWI.
“What do I do?…..Ok, so You know how people in India study in IIT IIM and get a good job in a big MNC or a bank? Well, we work directly with their bosses.”
B. Stop being a gora ass licker man ! It's been 70+ years since the British left, grow a spine and stop being a white man's little bitch. The fact that you quote the white men, and still compare India's situation to Britain is laughable. Do the maths, I know you aren't strong in it that's why your logic is flawed, but still do it. 25 law schools, let's say producing give or take 100 lawyers in a year, that's 2500. Now in a year how many into litigation, law firms, inhouse, corporate, judiciary, civil services, military, academia etc ? You think 2500 every year is enough for 1.4 billion ? Haven't you already seen the shortage of judges in each level ? Haven't you seen the pending cases ? But no, it's cause you focus on your masters more than your own country. Comparing problems of Britains 70 million to India's 1.4 billion is laughable. Britain can afford to have 25 law schools. India can't. That's why I said get out of the neo liberal colonial slave mindset, stop using white societies solution on desi problems. Start reading indian literature on our society and law and stop trying to be a white boy, you'll end up remaining a brown sepoy, ARSE !
