Because law school rankings are dynamic and change with time. Just because you are top 3 in 2010 doesn't mean you will be top 3 in 2020, 2030 etc. Others work hard and you need to keep up with the competition. If you got a head start, you need to maintain it. West Indies won the 1975 and 1979 World Cups, but look at them now --- pathetic. Prithvi Shaw was a star at 18, but look at him now: his contemporaries have overtaken him.

Big learning for NUJS.

bro /sis better find new job she just playing polictics so as hire a cheap labour with highest exploitation and no guidance of iota. Just remember there are many additional advocate general under an AG. most of them got their post due to deep connection with netas. look for good lawyer or better look judicial assistantship

There is no mentorship whatsoever. The tantrums some of the partners throw makes them look like adult babies. It's quite a toxic place.

If you have some experience, maybe you might be able to wade your way through all of this. But don't join the team if you are an A1/ A2 baccha.

1. Ensure that your mentor has filled in your feedback form. They ALWAYS forget it. Not their fault, they're super busy.

2. Mail Hema S. to schedule your callback.

3. Call Collete Rangel regarding your feedback and scheduling of callback.

4. Follow up with the HR team and get it scheduled, avoid asking for a callback in the college recruitment months (May-July and Nov-Jan).

5. Best of Luckk.

An LL.M. is perfect for those who can drop ₹50 lakh without breaking a sweat—or for grads still figuring out their next steps after law school. But beyond that, it’s an amazing opportunity to level up as a lawyer and build global connections.

An LL.M. from a top school like Harvard, Stanford, or Yale isn’t just a fancy line on your CV; it’s a flex that clients notice. It makes them more confident about paying you those hefty fees. Even if you’ve already locked down your dream Tier-1 job, taking a year off to get that exposure can be a game-changer for your career.

Because it's something hugely important we will all need in life -- different types of investment instruments, understanding the stock market, tax saving strategies etc. The better you know this subject the richer you will be. And there are so many people offering paid courses in this subject online. If we learn it in law school, there won't be any need to take such courses.

So why not have it as a compulsory subject in place of one of the BA subjects?

General Corporate is a great starting point because it exposes you to a wide range of laws early on. For instance, while working on due diligence, you’ll deal with diverse legal frameworks—from the IT Act to legal metrology and corporate basics like share issuances, board resolutions, FEMA etc., and contract reviews from a legal perspective. You’ll also gain exposure to intellectual property laws like trademarks. Starting in GC provides a broad legal grounding, making it an ideal base before transitioning into an in-house role later.

I understand your perspective on employment, but opportunities are emerging in this area as well. Many teams are actively looking for people for roles like in-house whistleblower teams, among others. That said, it’s still a developing field and hasn’t yet fully matured as a significant employment market.

Obviously RCB. Looks like people have forgotten what the “fans” did with Dan Christian and his wife.

It's important to get these views across, especially on a forum like LI where most people are law students living in a liberal echo-chamber. The fact is that the US justice system is deeply, deeply politicised. Unlike in India, prosecutors are political people who pick and choose their battles. The DA in the present case, Bryon Peace, is supported by Chuck Schumer of the Democratic Party, who in turn is funded by Soros. I really wish LI readers know the fill facts instead of parroting the Dhruv Rathee line.

Fully agree that demand for Chinese law experts is big abroad but not Indian law experts. We in India are under a delusion that we are an economic power comparable to China, but the facts speak for themselves: our economy is not even 20% the size of China, our GDP per capita is at the levels of African countries and our level of development and governance is very poor.

1. Get a vacation scheme (VS) at a London firm. This will usually happen at the end of your fifth year of law school. A VS is an internship where they test your potential. If they find you to be worthy, they will make you go through at least a year of study (if not they'll just drop you and you should move on). You will be taking the Solicitor's Qualifying Exam (S.Q.E.) and some firms may make you study the Graduate Diploma in Law (G.D.L., a qualification for UK graduates who studied a non-law degree but want to pivot to law, some firms have more traditional opinions about Indian degrees, and might take this option). Once they have made you do that year (or two) of study (with them paying a stipend), they will make you undergo a training contract (TC). This is a two year apprenticeship period where you will be exposed to multiple practice areas which would include M&A (especially in your case). You might be exposed to things like B&F, Private Equity, Leveraged Finance etc. Once you are done with your TC, you are admitted as a solicitor of the senior courts of England and Wales. You will be a Newly Qualified (NQ). You will be 'qualifying into' one of the seats you worked in during your TC, in your case, M&A. After that, you work in your chosen specialism as an associate, either at the firm where you did your TC or somewhere else, going up the ranks gradually, if you are good, and being shown the door if you aren't. During your TC (or even afterwards in many good firms), you may have the opportunity to go in house for a period with a particular client as a secondment, or to even go to a firm's office in another jurisdiction. Some firms (e.g., Linklaters, Dentons) offer a TC that combines training in multiple jurisdictions, with one year in London and one year elsewhere (in the case of Links, Singapore, and in the case of Dentons, Middle East), with the possibility of qualifying as a solicitor in England and wales + qualifying in that other jurisdiction.

2. Second option is to move to Singapore/London/HK as a lateral, after a few years of working in India. This is more difficult IMV, in the case of London, because it sort of becomes for them a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation. They are really fussy about people going through the TC training period, and tend to be very unsure of people who haven't gone through that, which is why Option 1 is more likely to work than Option 2 (not like option 1 has a very high chance of working either). How much (if any) weightage/recognition they give to your Indian experience is difficult to determine. If you have too much experience, they might say you are overqualified for a TC and not take you in (the British have this way of rejecting by saying how sad they are to reject you, but they just had so many good applications this season that they feel quite bewildered and overwhelmed, which is their unique corporate/recruting/academic circumlocution for 'the competition was, is and will always remain tough, and you were, are and will always be, in our eyes, a bullshit') or do the same thing if you apply for a TC after a year or so PQE in India, saying that you actually don't have enough experience. So think about this carefully, as arguably, London is one of the best starting points for a career in commercial law outside India.

3. Unless you are a Rhodes Scholar or have the brains of such a one and enough money that 360K U.S. Dollars will not break the bank, don't think so much about U.S. as a starting point, because getting a job with LLM is almost impossible, and your only option there would be a JD.
