It’s a law school that’s very well regarded in the EU. But you will have to check Google to see whether Indian nationals can get jobs. Don’t compare yourself to other nationalities, including Chinese (because China is a superpower and China-qualifies lawyers are in great demand) or or Latin American (because Spanish or Portuguese speakers have easier access to the EU).

Many firms like Trilegal and IndusLaw for instance, don't provide a stipend if you get an internship through a reference instead of getting one on your own. Is it the same with JSA? Specifically the Delhi Office if that's relevant.

Could anyone please shed some light on this?

Brittanica's editors are paid but are also elite with all their prejudices. Percival Spear died in 1982! History as a field evolves so it is not crazy to quote a more contemporary academic even if she isn't a white man. But maybe all contemporary views are 'woke-washing' to you. No doubt in 1970 someone else was complaining about historians who wrote critically of the great Indian cultural practice of Sati. Brittanica will be more slickly produced because it is for profit and focuses on elite subjects using elite writers. Wikipedia is more democratic and accessible to everyone. Most people would read both and then make up their own minds but you do you.

1. Truschke is a highly eminent south asian historian at Rutgers, endorsed by historians like Romila Thapar.

2.Sure she may have a bias but that doesn't mean that her writings are wrong or incorrect since history is interpretative.

3. The book is just a reinterpretation of the sources in order to present an alternative narrative and make the reader think that maybe aurangazeb wasn't so bad, stop thought-policing the so-called "wokes". Her works are as valid as Percival Spear's works.

I have my first PPO interview scheduled for December, but I’m unsure how to prepare since it's my first PPO interview.

My seniors have told me that the CAM PPO process is quite easy, with mostly HR questions, and that almost everyone gets through. However, I still feel anxious and unsure about how to approach it.

Could you please share your insights and tips on how I should prepare for this interview?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

During an internship at a Gurgaon law firm, I messed around with a PA I found on Grindr. Late nights were easier to bear with company iykwim. A couple months later I got a callback from HR without applying for it and turns out he'd made partner and asked for me to be interviewed. I turned up very happy thinking I had the job in the bag but he grilled me to within an inch of life in front of another partner, leaving me nearly in tears. I did get the job, and we dated for another two years before he married a different partner from the same firm and moved away.

I’d appreciate any guidance or advice. I graduated in July 2024 and have been actively searching for a job since then, but I haven’t had much luck. From interview ghosting to neglected applications, it’s been frustrating. Finally, in November, I got an opportunity to work at the Additional Advocate General’s (AAG) office.

However, here’s the problem: I applied for the position of a trainee and was invited for an interview—something I’d been waiting for since July. But during the interview, when the AAG reviewed my CV, she said she wasn’t hiring freshers at the moment. Ironically, she was the one who had confirmed the interview. After some back-and-forth, she reluctantly agreed to let me join. It didn’t feel like she was interested in me or the conversation, though.

The offer was disappointing. She didn’t offer me the official trainee position or even a minimal stipend, like ₹2,000 for petrol expenses. She said, “What’s the difference between an intern and a trainee? It’s the same.” I decided to give it a shot anyway, hoping things would improve.

On my first day, I was handed a file and told to research the issue. When I asked for guidance or background, she responded, “You’ve studied law, haven’t you? Figure it out.” I did the research, but there was no feedback or acknowledgment. From the second day onward, I’ve mostly been tasked with drafting (LODs)

Today, I was scolded for not doing things “properly.” I was told to attend a court hearing, but no case details were shared. My day now involves sitting in court from 10 AM to 4 PM, taking notes on what the judge says. When I try to explain what I’ve been doing or ask for clarity on my tasks, she doesn’t listen. Worse, I’ve been told, “If you can’t perform, it’s better you leave.”

I feel stuck. I’m doing my part by attending court hearings, documenting the judge’s comments, and completing assignments, but there’s no communication, feedback, or support. During my internships, I had far better interactions with associates who guided me through tasks. Here, I can’t even ask for direction without being dismissed with, “You’ve studied law, right?”

What should I do? How do I handle this situation when there’s no room for discussion or mentorship, and now I’m being threatened with termination?

its all a show. If the BCI really wanted to improve things, it wouldv'e implemented this as a part of its rules. Recommendation means nothing. People are still earning 5k a month for working their ass off in those def col chambers while their LaLa bosses plan their next europe trip exploiting the unpaid labour.

They cant- because the moment they do so they would be essentially legislating. BSD is obviously a power grab, less cynical person may say its a check on maintaining some "essence" of the constitution. But honestly, our Constitution is only as good as we keep it- thats a feature, not a bug. Voters are the only adults in the room and no one else, especially not unelected judges can save us from ourselves.

No. You can criticise, and if enough people agree with you, you will be able to get a constitutional amendment. And they did exactly that! History lesson 101: After Indira Gandhi lost, and the Janata Party came into power with Morarji Desai as the Prime Minister. They actually restored much of the older constitution sans changes by the IG government with the 44th Amendment. This was also possible because our constitution schema allows for amendments given votes in the parliament and ratification by the states. It is not the job of the judiciary to stop the peoples will. We wouldnt be a democracy if that was the case. I shouldn't have to explain this in a lawyers forum. Go read some history and read some constitutional law before you jump on whatever nonsense shit stirrers like Subramanya Swamy put out.

Yes till two years. If you fail again and complete two years you have to ask the state bar for extension and give reason for failing the test if accepted you might get an extension of license and another attempt. Ive heard the entire process is humiliating, save yourself from it and just carry all the 25-30 bare acts

Yes, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is closely connected to the United Nations (UN). It is the principal judicial organ of the UN, established by the UN Charter in 1945, and began functioning in 1946. The ICJ’s purpose is to settle legal disputes between states and provide advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorized UN organs and specialized agencies.

Here are the key points of their connection:

1. UN Charter: The ICJ was created as part of the UN system and operates in accordance with Chapter XIV of the UN Charter.

2. Membership: All UN member states are automatically parties to the ICJ’s statute and may bring cases to the court.

3. Location: The ICJ is headquartered at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands, but it operates as part of the UN system.

4. Advisory Role: The ICJ provides advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of UN organs like the General Assembly and the Security Council or specialized agencies.

5. Funding and Oversight: The ICJ is funded by the UN, and its judges are elected by the UN General Assembly and Security Council.

Thus, the ICJ plays a vital role in the UN’s mission to promote international law and peaceful dispute resolution.

apart from the man on the board - the targets for Partners at DSK is unrealistic and at par with many tier 1s - this is despite the fact that team costs might be quite low since they don't pay a tad much at the junior levels. With 40% going to the firm after billing such targets, an exit from a rainmaker like Samit stands right with how the cost mechanics pan out at DSK. I won't say its a weird firm but a tier 2 must learn how to behave like a tier 2 for heaven's sake. Given how his practice runs, he might be working with a senior partner at Trilegal so that might mess up existing client commitments but I may be wrong.

Having had the chance to work with SS closely for quite some time, truly wish nothing but the best to a gem like him!
