4 people from glc have rejected the job after getting selected. We've been interning there every year now. Sit down "genius" the reason they pay more is to attract idiots like you and then make them intern for 6 months and offer you a job with the same salary. Even calling these people clerk is an insult to clerks. Most mindless useless work ever not even worth calling yourself a lawyer at that point.

Dear "Guest", first of please, you must understand the difference between Section 2(f), Section 3 and Section 12(b) of UGC Act, 1956. The "Regulations" of 2017 cannot override an Act (here, UGC Act, 1956) passed by the Parliament of India through a Statute! So, as you said, please be prudent enough to understand what the differences indicate before coming for an argument! Moreover, check the OFFICIAL NAME of OP Jindal in the UGC Website under Higher Education Institutions(HEI) Section. In addition to this, please check the details of OP Jindal in the "List of Universities which includes Institution of National Importance, Institution of Eminent Importance, Central Universities, State Universities, Deemed Universities, Private Universities) - You will get a clarity on what OP Jindal really is as per the official records of UGC, Department of Higher Education (DOHED), Ministry of Education (MOE), Government of India. [Again, please be prudent enough to understand that whatever states in the particular University website "may not be true" so always check for the real facts from authentic governmental websites and Institutions) - GO FOR THE ORGINAL AND BE THE ORGINAL!

Dear Guest,

Before making an argument, please refer Section 3 of UGC Act, 1956 before making further arguments. Please kindly refer Section 12(b) of UGC Act as well to understand what is the basic difference between a "University" and a "Deemed to be University!" Like you said, just do a Google Search, it doesn't cost you much! Moreover, please check the OFFICIAL NAME of OP Jindal in the UGC Website + List of Universities under UGC which is updated every year. You can find aoP Jindal as a PRIVATE UNIVERSITY. Please refer it and came back for the argument! (Whatever states in University website is not authentic, please go through the exact details in the UGC Website or file an RTI to UGC - You will get the answer.) I hope you will be back for an argument with more supporting evidences!

1. Vipul Kundalia, NLSIU 1994 --- First-gen lawyer. Unusually for an NLISU grad, started at the trial courts and built up a practice there first. Interview of him here (in Bengali):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYbMR8RLjVU

2. Phiroze Edulji, NLSIU 1997 -- First generation Parsi lawyer specialising in criminal law. A rare right-wing NLSIU grad (officer-bearer of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad). In the news for some explosive arguments in the RG Kar case, where he brought loopholes missed by top lawyers and stunned the court.

3. Deep Kabir, NUJS 2007 -- son of former CJI Altmas Kabir. Evidently among the youngest-ever lawyers to be elevated by the Calcutta High Court, which is very conservative. Had been the subject of some controversy many years ago, when his father was CJI.

Hi. I've also faced similar situations. I would suggest you to listen to whatever they say, get a hard skin akin to a rhino.

If they're disrespecting you and you're feeling sad. Remember, the world is filled with sadists.

Next time, if she scolds you for no good reason, just smile and say sorry. That smile, will change her perception. Trust me and trust god.

What really tipped me off is she won't even bother to stick around with me during the proceedings. I'm standing there in court, and she keeps asking to leave for another court. Then the same thing happens - she comes into another court and again asks to leave for yet another court.

And then later that day, she just drops this bombshell out of nowhere - 'if you don't show improvement, leave'. When I'm desperately trying to explain the details of the proceedings I've already completed, she's not willing to listen to a single word I have to say.

I am a 2023 graduate, have a stable job at a reputed place, and some time and money on the side. However, the academic activist in me is still yearning to do policy work. LAMP felt like a good option last year, and I did apply but didn't get through the CV round itself. My CV has not changed much, but my heart still wants to go apply and wants to take the risk of getting rejected again.

Any tips? All my internships have been Gen Corp, and 2 litigation-based ones. How do I get into LAMP? Should I check some other avenues into policy? Need advice.

Yeah. People can be cruel in criticising those they perceive to have more power. It’s the last acceptable cruelty of our culture- scrutinise and pick out flaws in people who are successful. It doesn’t really lead to a happier workplace at all. And it’s quite counterproductive because it doesn’t even make low level employees feel better, it just engenders resentment.

Most of these folks wouldn’t take it for one second if their bosses created threads to publicly criticise and “vent” about people working under them. It’s quite sick.

I’m honestly exhausted from all the conversations about toxicity in law firms—whether it’s about working with senior associates, principal associates, partners, or peers. Let’s face it: succeeding in a law firm requires a certain degree of resilience, adaptability, and perhaps even a bit of eccentricity. If it doesn’t work out, that’s perfectly okay. There are other opportunities out there. Law firms aren’t for everyone, and that’s completely fine—I’ve realized they’re not for me.

Firms give you around four years as an associate before you transition to the senior associate level. That period is there for a reason amongst others: to help you decide if law firm life is truly what you want in the long term. It’s a chance to evaluate whether it aligns with your career aspirations and personal goals.

If one firm isn’t working for you, it’s absolutely okay to explore other firms or teams. There are always opportunities, and with time, you’ll find a better fit. But if the work environment is toxic and there’s no improvement, accept it for what it is and move on. It’s not your responsibility as an associate to fix a firm’s culture, nor do you have the power to do so. Focus on finding a place where you can grow, thrive, and feel valued.

From my own experience, I spent nearly three years in a tier-1 law firm. It didn’t work out, and I realized that firm life wasn’t for me. I transitioned to a start-up as an in-house counsel. Sure, the 30% tax bracket and the lack of job security (an often overlooked advantage of law firms) are downsides, but I’m happier for it. Life is now calmer, and I experience significantly less anxiety—a trade-off I’m glad I made.

The associate will tell he is doing something, but that something never arrives till the very end.

In the end he sends me something and says I can redo it if needed. Of course he can!

This is when I am juggling with my kid and after partner moved deadlines talking to client.

In the end, the main document goes and the associate's work goes in a second email ... 2 days late.

Gurl - time for some real talk.

You are describing what is essentially a torture chamber. Other people would notice if this is true. I am certain she has her side of the story vis-a-vis you too.

Unlike you though, she was busy with her due diligence / emails / lit prep while you wrote this essay-like paragraph figuring out what growing up looks like in the real world.

Not gaslighting, but a lot of this is inside your head. Either ways be brave and complain with HR if you feel so strongly. I think you may find a dose of reality after that conversation.

It is remarkably common for a lot of juniors to gang up on SAs, especially here. So common, its almost boring at this point. What is also always hidden in these types of posts is the initial provacations and context. I think its high time people spoke about this.

Simply put, the SAs gets bullied by the juniors and chewed out by the partner as well. Seen it happen many times across teams. In the end the Partner gets to remain squeaky clean, get plaudits and the SA gets the brickbats despite carrying the file.

Yet, barely anyone has the courage to call this out despite its evidence being in plain sight. Just sit in the cafeteria and listen to the conversations. Its one of the reasons why most teams are imbalanced as experience heads for the door. Either ways the conveyor belt goes on.

Toxicity is not limited to a level. Its not a labelling privilege extended to the A0s when their shit gets called out. It is all pervasive. If toxicity is present in the team it inevitably infects all. From the junior most, right up to the partner.

As they say, walk a mile in someone elses' shoes ...

The best lawyers for Adani in this case are those who practice in the Eastern District of New York. They need to understand the jury pool which is unique. Also, the US attorneys in that District will not bring an indictment unless they have the accused in their sights.

The release from the US attorneys Office says:
The defendants also extensively documented their corrupt efforts: for example, Sagar R. Adani used his cellular phone to track specific details of the bribes offered and promised to government officials; Vneet S. Jaain used his cellular phone to photograph a document summarizing various bribe amounts the U.S. Issuer owed the Indian Energy Company for its respective portion of the bribes; and Rupesh Agarwal prepared and distributed to other defendants multiple analyses using PowerPoint and Excel that summarized various options for paying and concealing bribe payments.

This is pretty damning evidence to prove a conspiracy.

The FCPA was enacted in 1977. Adani has been charged with conspiracy under the FCPA. Under U.S. federal law, a criminal conspiracy occurs when two or more people (or entities) form an agreement to commit a specified offense, and one of the conspirators takes some overt action in furtherance of the criminal agreement to prove a conspiracy To prove a conspiracy, the government must demonstrate that there was an agreement between individuals to violate the FCPA, with the intent to achieve a common goal. No direct bribe is needed to meet the conspiracy requirement under the FCPA.

The case will be tried in the US under their laws (NOT INDIAN LAW) in the Eastern District of New York. It will be trial by jury.

The likely outcome is a guilty plea before trial and the ADANI Companies being banned from the USA Capital Markets.

The insight into how the the case is determined and if it will go to trial is the law firm they hire in the USA.

Pay close attention to every aspect of this exchange - from voice modulation to placement of rhetoric https://youtube.com/shorts/sOxf7xxRoZc?si=NGzEdG72A3kV_aQ4

I'm currently a 2nd-year law student. I have an interest in m&a, and I wish to work abroad, but I do not want to pursue an LLM. I have asked many professionals abt it, and I either get ghosted or get told that I'm too young to think about it. I just need a rough and potential path as to what I would need to do so that I can move out of India and work as a corporate lawyer specializing in M&A. It's a humble request if any professional has adequate knowledge in this matter, kindly provide me with some guidance.
